SANFORD, January S.-Eyery one is talk
ing about the Hayden affair. 1t Is the opin-
ion of many that the whole thing was pre-
meditated and carefully arranged by Hay
den at least Two months previous to his de-
parture A few weeks ago Hayden made
his head clerk present OF diamond ring
and asked him to have his own and the name
Of the giver engraved in the band. At about
the same time he said to this same clerk:
"If anything should ever happen to me, you
will lose nothing. and want you in that
case to claim my Office furniture as your
own"
b. Frank Hayden Is acknowledged to be a
business man of unusual tact. He was en-
terprlsiDg and energetic. Even business
men concede that during the past five years
he has greatly benefited the town by adver-
tisiug extensively, aud thereby brought In
much outside trade. Mrs. Hayden, who re-
turned from Portland yesterday, up to this
morning was not aware that the departure oI
Springvale were regarded by the people o.
the two villages as anyway suspicious.
