Wednesday was the t~reacherous guide.
The murder of S, Morris VAIN and
Chas; Livingstone Strong near Point of
Rocks corral, Carbon county, last July
attracted national attention on account of
the prominence Of the victims of the
atrocity, who were wealthy and highly
respected Young men of Philadelphia and
New York respectively. A ghoul of a
guide whom they employed to pilot them
through the country brutally murdered
the pair one night and decamped with the
outfit. A newspaper correspondent who
visited the scene of the murder before the
unfortunates had been identified wrote of
the terrible crime:
One had his brains knocked out with
an ak and the other was shot in the head
with a shot gun. After the murderer had
done his bloody work he rolled up the
body Of the man that was shot in the
head in two bed comforts, tied a rope
around the body and dragged it into a
small patch of brush on the creek and
covered it up with sage brush and willows.
The other mar was dragged off about a
quarter of a mile and cached in a sage
brush gulch. The only clothing on the
bodies when found was their underclothes,
showing that when the deed was commit.
ted the men were in bed. Both of the
men had handkerchiefs on their necks.
No hats, boots or clothing of any kind
could be found, or no trace of anything
to identify the bodies.
As nearly as can be figured the men
were murdered July "a or % One body
was found Aug. Is, the other Aug. 20,
by cowboys.
Prosecuting Attorney Dixon of Carbon
county placed the case in the hands of
experienced detectives and at his sug-
gestion Governor Moonlight offered a re-
ward for the murderer. 1t is sincerely
hoped that Sheriff S~parhawk has earned
the reward

"We demand tariff reform and we set o.lr
faces in the direction Cf Free Trade
''The Democrat who il not Free Trader
should go elsewhere"
''The conflict between Free Trade and Pro-
lection is irresponsible and must he fought to
the bitter end We spit upon compromises
and propose neither to ask nor to give quar-
ter"
"The Democratic party, except in the per-
son of imbeciles hardly worth mentioning, is
not upon the fence. 1t is Free Trade party
or it is nothing"
There can be no cooke,i-up platform and
no compromise candidate"

TO TIE EDITOR OF THE JoUENAL: | was
somewhat interested in Mr.. l.. G. Bateman'a
letter to the Prog A A@e of AUG. 26. He gives
his readers quite good description of the
Aroostook County, but in few points | beg
to differ. Having been born in Waldo County
and resided there thirty years and now having
lived in Aroostook ten years, claim 10 know
something about both Counties. First. he
thinks we are about two weeks later here.
know we are two weeks later than usual. bat
this is not an average season. think the farm
ers of Waldo County will acknowledge that
they are behind the average seasons. The
spring was two weeks behind, to bc.in with,
and the summer here has been cold and dry
one, consequently things have hot made up for
lost time. lie says oats We're Just beginning 10
ripen and would not he ready to cut for the
next ten days, but the fact is that oats Were
being cut then and are now nearly or quite all
cut, notwithstanding the downp0urin., OF rain
has only ceased for one or two lays lit Il time.
Again he says apples are about the only north
ern fruit that does not flourish here. We a,i-
NIT that the Baldwins do not flourish here, il
being a little too far north for them. but we
claim that we have other varieties nearly or
equally as good to take their place. while we
have some varieties which for iineness of flavor
] never saw equalled in Waldo County. We
are continually Introducing new varieties here
and II Waldo County. Tor any other County in
Maine), does not look sharp after her laurcls
Aroostook County will ere long carry them on
What Mr.. Bateman says of the Republican
Gov -elect we all admit to be true, but does Mr.
Il. or any other live man suppose that any man
under the same circumstances would not have
done the same thing. Yes, Mr.. =. there are
people, and it is the people Of Aroostook County,
who know Mr.. Bureish best and who think
this strictly legitimate transaction; and more
than this we believe there arc few among the
ProhibitioniSts that would have stood the test
that one Of Aroostook's sons has stood. New
