Yesterday another dangerous crank

ranch, SC years old. book binder BY trade.
In threatening letter sent by him to
Conrad Harris, a retired wine merchant,
Saturday he demands 500 within Two

vent to the following: III You don't take
notice o. this my request you will be
next to Russell Sage and will blow your

1t Takes Two Hunts to Find, But Is
Finally Recovered.
Acting on the plan as submitted, Law
yers Edgarly and Worcester. accompanied
by their assistants, started to locate the
spot where the head was buried. They
spent two days and found nothing. Then
they returned to Concord and obtained
from Sawtelle more accurate information.
They started forth again, aud Saturday
found the head. 1t was wrapped in an
undershirt and linen Shirt but not a
trace of the features remained. Naught
but the osseous relic of brutal murder
was revealed
The Deadly Wound Located.
DIR. Grant at once made an examination
of the skull and discovered hole back Of
the left ear, which had apparently been
made by bullet. 1t was half an inch in
diameter and extended to the right side of
the Uranium, where the bullet made its
exit, and made hole one inch in length
and three. quarters of an inch in width.
The full purport of the find can be under
stood. as according to Lawyer Edgarly,
counsel for Sawtelle, it goes a long way
toward establishing the assertion of Isaac
that Hiram was killed in Maine.
Testimony Proved Incorrect
When the headless remains were resur-
rected from the grave in the woods of
Lebanon, Me-, three bullets holes were
found in the trunk of the dead man. Wit
nesses at the trial testified to hearing
three shots fired. They are positive on
this point, but the finding of the head
shows clearly that another Shot was dis
charged. The head is now in the safe of
Lawyer Edgarly.
A Long Contest In Prospect.
The sensational disclosures which will
accompany TIE latest development in the
great case will probably lead to long
and bitter contest in the New Hampshire
courts. The prediction that Sawtelle
would hang in spite of his confession was
made, but now there is some doubt that
the judges can withstand the argument if
the defense can show that the murder was
committed in Maine

hose which had been worn by the bomb
thrower, scanned the article carefully,
and then declared that it was one OF
pair of hose he had given to the fiend few
weeks ago. Captain Donovan who stood
by smiled incredulously Train glanced
up-quickly and remarked: There is no

one of his shoes, showed that the material

GREAT FALLS, n. H, Dec THE head
of Hiram +. Sawtelle. the Boston fruit
dealer who was murdered by his brother,
Isaac b. Sawtelie. on Feb. 5, 1890, was
found Saturday buried under three feet of
earth in the Lebanon woods in the town of
East Lebanon. Me-, near the New Hamp-
shire state line. Several times since the
arrest and conviction OF Isaac Sawtelle
there have come from him so-called con-
LESSONS almost by the dozen, but these
WEIR so contradictory and unreasonable
that none was believed. He insisted
first that he did not commit the murder;
then he said an accomplice did the killing
at his instigaton, aud later he told other
stories.
Tells the Truth to save His Neck.
Last Tuesday he sent for his lawyers
and told them that he desired TO make a
confession. They were agreeable, and in
his own hand he wrote a statement. and
In this said, among other thing: II alone
killed my b. other Hiram" He further
Said that he committed the crime in the
state of Maine. Now there is no such
thing as hanging in Maine, ana the wo ST
he could nupc for was life Imprisonment,

fears 20 hang and this confession in Lis
own hand and in the form of au affidavit
was palpable attempt TO save his neck
and was SO recognized.
His Lawyers Demand Proof.
His lawyers had been fooled that way
too often. So they demanded that he give
them some corroborative evidence. Alter
moments hesitation he then described
the place where, after the murder and
burial of the body, he secreted his brothers
head. He went over the details of the
crime with the greatest care. 1t was a
complete confession. He kept back moth
ing. Further than this, after pen and
ink had been fetched, he drew plan of
the ground where the head was buried
He traced the roads, marked on his map
the place where the crime was committed,
and traced his course from the time he
met his brother in Rochester until the
fatal shots were fired and the two burials
had been completed.
Drew n Map OF the Spot.
On piece of paper he drew an accurate
map of the woods of Lebanon, Me A
little square marks the hut, located about
4OC feet from the spot where the body was
unearthed by Detectives Shields and

killed his brother in this hut. The muir
derer then marked out on the map the
place where he buried the body, and also

OFF For Il New Field.

j. S. Fletcher, who for the last two
years has been in the employ Of the
Hope company in the capacity Of fore
man, will sever his connection with that
company this week. and will leave with
his brother Joe for his new field of labor
near Bearmouth, where he will superin-
tend the property of the Pewablc Mining
and Milling company. This property,
from all accounts, has as fine showing
as any gold property IN the state, and
when under the supervision OF as exper-
fenced miner as Mr.. Fletcher. we will
not be at all surprised to hear Of divi-
dend-payer near old Bearmouth before
another year has passed. The Fletcher
brothers will leave a host of friends be-
hind, who all join in wishing them con-
tinued success and prosperity in their new
venture. Although the distance is not
very great from here, we can say that it
is too far for such mining men to be
away from the burg. Such miners as
they are scarce.

$1,000. Agentleman from San Francisco
representing an Italian syndicate, offered
Schultz, Zirn's mining partner, 100000
to be deposited in sixty days, for the
mine, which was refused.
This property is situated IN Douglas
county. Nevada, and was struck some
two months ago, causing a great stam-
pede from Virginia City, Reno and Car
son City. Old timers who now reside in
the burg state that during the palmy
days IN that section, that the Indians of
that section showed some wonderful gold
specimens, but it was useless to ATTEMPT
to find out the section from which it came.
But now, after years have passed, the
sturdy old prospector has at last struck
the bonanza from which there is no
doubt that the Indians got their speci-
mems, and it now leaks out that the
rerson they never gave the secret away
was because IN that section they gathered
hundreds of bushels of pine nuts every
was one of the most profitable
they followed, and they knew
That the moment that mines we're struck,
there their pine nut picking would come
% an end, as the trees would be CONVEX
ed into lumber, mining timber, etc.

The Hone.

President Porter, of the Hope company,
arrived here few days past to attend to
business relating to that company, and
as result the Silver Chief is closed down
entirely. This news will be received by
every one with no little regret, for it was
expected that some good reports. would
come from that property. The diamond
drill which was at work on the above
property has been removed and set up
near the old Northwest mill, on the con-
tact.
The work of the drill at this point
should be watched with interest, owing
to the large bodies of ore opened up in
the Midnight and vicinity. There is
little doubt IN the minds of conservative
mining men but that at a depth on this
contact there is something worth labor
ing for.

THE east GRANITE CO.'S. MEETING
Nothing Important Transacted-Another
Meeting Will BE Held Tomorrow
Night-The Hope-A Letter from the
Smithsonian Institute-Alps Mill.

The stockholders of the East Granite
company met On the Sd of the month in
Ph1lipsburg, and without transactine
any business adjourned until the 1lth
when another meeting will be held and
an effort made to come to some definite
understanding in regard to the future ac-
ton OF the company. AS near as can be
learned, when the company closed down
they were indebted to the amount of
about $4,000, and the object of the meet
1ngs is to provide some means of paying
OF this Indebtedness; also having in con-
temptation the raising of sufficient other
funds to carry on the development work
necessary to satisfy the stockholders as
to the real value of their property.
The meeting on the Sd was adjourned
until the 18th because it was thought
that by that time Supt Welch, who has
been absent for some time past, would
have by that date arrived home The
outcome of the meeting is at present hard
to guess, although it would now appear
to be almost impossible to carry the pro-
posed assessment plan through; and that
would appear to be the only possible plan
by which the company could get out of
their present financial ENHANCEMENT.
Outside OF that there is hardly more than
one other plan-that of allowing it to be
and sold at sherif's sale. If
this is done the stockholders would have
a very small show of ever getting any of
their money back.
This is sad state of affairs, and the
worst of it is the property itself would
Justify large expenditure of money, and
is really one of the best gambling propo-
sitions on the granite hill to-day; in fact,
when the mine was closed down, success
was almost in sight.
AS is always the case, the men who
olindly put their money into the stock at
ifty cents PSF share are the ores who
will get the worst of it, as we'll as those

Warrants were also drawn in favor of
the marshal and night watchman for
their monthly salary of 500 and $50 re-
spectively.
Mr.. Mcintyre said that he had not
sufficient funds to pay the warrants, and
stated that the bank here would loan the
money at one and one-quarter per cent.
per month interest, and that the board
OF aldermen would have to make arrange
ments for the loan. Mr.. Weinstein re-
piled that the rate Of interest was exor
bitant and that he would procure funds
from the Merchants National bank of
Helena for one per cent. per month.
After some discussion the clerk was in
structed to procure the loan at the low
est rate obtainable.
There being no further business the
board adjourned until tonight. when
they will consider the fuming PROPOSE
ton more thoroughly, receive bids, and
transact other important business.
