A Tragedy in the Moosehead Lake
Lumber Regions.
James Young of Pennington Killed
In Lumber Camp.

LEWISTON, Nov. ia special to the Jour
nal from Pennington says The report has
reached here, from what are believed to be
reliable sources, that James Young of Farm
ington, has been murdered in logging camp
in the Moosehead Lake numbering region.
The story as it comes to Pennington is
that he got into fight, and that in the
course of it his opponent stabbed him in the
throat The wound was not at first thought
to be dangerous but it soon began to bleed
profusely and before the flow could be stay
ed his life had ebbed away. These meagre
facts are all that have yet been learned in
regard to the affray. Young, the murdered
man, is brother of John Young, who was
detained for time at Harmony under sus-
picion of being the firebug that caused the
destruction of property, and the wild horror
in that town. The family moved frem the
Dead River region to Pennington several
years ago. The young men are hardy hard
working fellows, Injured to the hardships of
the logging camp and the river drive. They
are brave fellows but they have never been
esteemed quarrelsome.
Report of the Murder Dlscredited.
BANGOR, Nov. 15.-Careful inquiry
through the channels liable to be best in
formed fail to give any confirmation of the
dispatch sent out from Lewiston relating to
a murder said to have been committed at
Moosehead Lake. At Greenville through
which place all news to and frem the Lake
must pass nothing has been heard of the
affair.

was re-examlned recently with view to
promotion: Notwithstanding the fact that
was, given to another man, an "honorably
discharged soldier" to whom it was claimed
the law gives the preference. Harris wrote
to President Cleveland to know why he had
been set aside by man far below him in the
civil service examination. The case was re-
ferred to sCollector Magone, and by him to
the. Civil Service Commission. Yesterday
their decision was received. They are of the
opinion that preferences are for admission to
