The sub-letting of our mail routes

hope prospective carriers will con
slider the matter we'll before they
take the contract to carry our mails
for the sum at which many of the
routes were bid in. We have talked
with several who have had IAN apple
out of the bag" and there seems
but one opinion and that is that
the compensation is inadequate for
the work to be done. In this con-
nection il will be well to bear one
fact in mind. viz: that our mail
must reach us on schedule time OF
the contractor will pay for the delay

A HORRIBLE DEED.-Francis NJ

A HORRIBLE Disturbances NJ.
Bowie. n prominent farmer OF
Prince Georges county, Maryland,
was murdered on Palm Sunday
night. MIR. Bowie on the Saturday
previous had employed a strange
negro man to work on his farm and
told him to be on hand early the
the next day. Between 4 and 3 p.
m. on Sunday Mr.. Bowie gave
orders in regard to some work.
looked at his watch and started for
a distant part of the farm. That
was the last seen of him alive. Not
returning at bedtime his family
became alarmed ut his absence and
word was sent to some neighbors
but they had not seen anything o.
him. A searching party was formed
and the marks of a scuffle were dis
covered but no traces of Mr.. Bowie
whereabouts were found. On Mon
day the search was renewed and hi
body was found in the bottom of
we'll. Upon examination his skull
was found to have been mashed, III
law broken and there were bruise
around the throat and breast. Iii
watch and pocket book and som
papers were not in the pockets, an
the clothing was torn. 1t was ev'
dent that he had been attacked fror
the rear. 1t is thought that tn
murderers have been captured.

During the psst week HE INDEPENDENT
has published notices OF the deaths Of
three people who are yet in this vale Of

Choteau that hs had shot himself through

the report / friend Of MaRes's called and
told the editor that Magso wes alive and

The next victim was Il. p. Stout. A

had 4 stroke Of paralysis and would BE-

Yesterday The ~lNDErENpENT killed an.

to kill himself. The item referred I o read:
Jas. A. MeKslvey, nephew Of Mr.. and
Mrs. II. KiEksndall, residing at 4O7 Msd!-

horse yesterday that death ensued almost
Immediately. He was about Is ye.rs OF

He has a brother and sister who live In

will be given later"
Early yesterday morning a relative Of
McKelvey called at The INDEPENDENT Of
fee with the information that tho boy was
alive und we'll and going to school.
The first part OF the statement was true,
because the boy was alive, but he has been
playing traant for several days. The no.
tioe Of McKslvey's death was brought to
lHE INDEPENDENT office Wednesday night
by Nj KsIvsy himself. or BY some one he
sent. McKelvey or his messenger brought
at the same time a notice Of a meeting sent
by n purity whose contributions arc always
welcome in the local department. The city
editor thought u strange that such nm ac-
cident could have happened and no one
about the office had knowledge of it, but ns
