'THE MISSING WOMAN,
No Trace Of Miss Burns Yet
Discovered.
Bangor Man Who Psll Through 4
Semitic Dies Prem Injusiss.

Especial 70 the KEsxEBEc JoURHAL.1
HALLowELL. Nov. 23.-Search for the
missing Burns woman Of FsFmingdale vas
resumed today. About two hundred people
had assembled from Hallovell and neigh
boring towns, and the searching parties
were out until noon. but returned with ro
clue. A party Of one hundred Was organ
lied and Ut one o'clock started ouf again.
They formed themselves into = line and
thoroughly searched the woods in the vicin-
ity until it is now asserted that II the
woman vas in the woods she could not
have escaped observation.
There has been discovery made which
may throw new light on the situation.
About three quarters Of q mile in the wood
is whs. is rs the Davis farm. The house
was burned some years ago, but the barns
and ou,-buildings are now standing. This
farm was originally part Of the Burns
property, and . road through the Burns
property is the only way of getting TO it.
About half mile out on this road, on the
right. is very large pine tree. Warren
Carter, while passing this tree, noticed
locality. He had no suspicion at the time.
but when catching hold offa small bush it
Immediately gave way and he found that it
had no root and was limb that had been
placed there in that position. Several
more were pulled up and were found to
have been placed in like manner He
thought the ground was unusually soft and
a shovel wss procured. The ground was
..nf xoff vol lv has Cos .
feet long by two feet wide. After digging
for some time. portions of roots were dis
covered, which led to the conclusion that
some one had evidently undertaken to
make an excavation. These roots had been
cut from the tree, as was afterwards proven
when the loose earth had been shoveled
out. After diggiog for some two feet and
a half, hard earth WAS again reached. For
what was the excavation made? Why was
the bush placed in such a careful manner
over it when it was filed? These are
questions that are agitating the minds of
many. Was the body of the missing woman
placed therein and afterwards taken out?
If murder was committed, who could have
done 1t and what could have been the motive?
Could 1t have been for wealth. Some
years ago it was said that Mics Burns had
money hidden away in the woods, but for
years this has been spoken Of but little.
Some think this hardly possible, for the
sisters have depended on on the produce of
their farm for support and the trustee has
sometimes been obliged to sell land to de-
fray expenses. II crime has been COM
mi,ted. where is the body now? Some think
either in Hutcbinson's pond or else in some
muck hole. What further steps will be
will be taken is not known. but it is sup
posed that q reward will be offered and that
the pond will be dragged and all muck holes
will be thoroughly searched. Portions of
the roots found are now in the possession
OF w. T. Haskell of West Gardiner.

AN INDIAN PLOT
To Ambush And XIII 0srcral Brooke
And His Soldiers

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 23 "A Bee special
from Pine Ridge Agency says: The first
knowledge that the ghost dancers had COM
menced plotting to entrap tine soldiers, was
brought TO the Indian agent, Ros CT, lsst
night by VIM. d. McGaa, formerly an In
dian scout, now q wealthy ranchmap. living
in the vicinity of Buffalo Gap. McGss in
travelling overland on horse back, enjoys a
wide friendship among the Indians. Last
night be stayed at one OF the lodges about
midway between this point and Buffalo Gap.
He had placed very little dependence in the
reported ecsre, and felt 10 fear in going TO
sleep in tepee full of Indiaus, no,with-
standing he noticed they we're all fully
armed. He feigned to sleep, and heard
the Indians plot to lead General
Brooke and his soldiers into ambush
and shoot them down. Their plan
is to continue the ghost dance ill the
troops try to stop it. The place selected
to carry out this murjerous design is 16
miles north of here, where the White river
empties into the wounded knee. The only
practical way leading to the spot i, by a
road that follows along the bank of White
Horse creek. Upon either side of this
road and creek are dense clumps of trees,
which almost form . wall on either side o.
the approach. The plot is to have ghost
dance in the centre of the smphitheatre and
have the woods on either side of the road
full of Indians, and then when the military
come up stop the dance, and they would be
easily shot down by the Indians in am
bush.

eec'y Proctor and Gen. echofield on
the Indian Trouble.

Secretary Proctor and Gen. Schofeld
talked over Indian Affairs with the Presi-
dent this afternoon. The President, in
flusnced by the press dispatches which
have come from the Indian country, has
expressed an interest in the provisions max
ing to meet any possible uprising.
In tie absence of anything definitely war
like from Gen. Miles and the representative
of the war department in the West, the
officers on duty here look for no trouble.
Permission was early given Gen. Miles to
draw upon adjacent posts for troops and
other provisions looking to the concentts-
ton Of the force at the possible
scene Of the conflict. That General
Miles has not yet availed himself
of this privilege is regarded by the war de-
partment officials as reassuriug, and thye
naturally look for . peaceful settlement of
any existing difficulties. This opinion.
expressed each day to your correspondent
BY Secretary Proctor, Gen. Schofeld ard
Acting Adjutant. General McKeever, was
reiterated today. They base their views of
this matter on Gen. Miles action and the
tenor of his dispatches. which Asst Adjt-
Gen. Vincent said today did not indicate
any Indian outbreak. The department

divided-the followers of Sitting Bull
in the Messiah craze have banded to-
gether, while the Indians of friendly dis
position have joined the troops. Gen. Scho-
field locke upon this as another feature for
the preservation of peace. He thinks this
evidence of good will on the part of some
of the Indians will influence for the better
the less friendly demonstrations. The De-
partment, accepting the hint offered by this
movement of The Indians, will take into is
service in the Department of Dakota 500
Indians as scouts. This is under q pro-
visione of law which, contemplating opera
tons against the Indians, authorize the en-
ployment in emergency Of 1000 scouts.
"Thls action of today, explains Gen. Scho-
field, sis merely to further influence any
evil disposed Indians there may be. Wheth-
er this influence appears as reward for the
faithful or as preparations of war probably is
of small moment to the department. The
efficacy of the action has been demonstrated
in the past, and its good effect is confidently
expected now." The Attributing of person.
al sggrandizement to Gen. Miles 10 his
present sections does not obtain at the war
department. In whatever phase he ap-
pears to observers on the ground, his pos
ition, as established in his own reports, is
conservative, for on these reports do the
department people agree there 10 to be no
Indian campaign, at least until spring.
