day morning and arrested her on the cars
on the charge Of smuggling. She was
brought to this city for a hearing. Deputy

Monday afternoon and found the drugs.
Mrs. Greene paid 500 for the 200 ounces

that he believed the canning factory, soon
to locate here, would baneft the farmers in

has been established in the city in several
years. The company will employ from
125 to 100 hands during the season,
which generally lasts seven month";. Veg
etables such as tomatoes, sweet sugar corn,
peas, beans, and fruits and berries will be
canned. Mr.. Douglas who is at the head
of tho business, says that ne will endeavor
to contract before spring for $50 acres of
corn, and at least 80 acres of tomatoes. In
past years upward OF 80, 900 cases, "a cans
to case, have been canned per month. The
company will doubtless be reorganized and
do business here under the name OF "The
Champlain Valley Canning company"
1t is the intention to develop the business
more fully and increase the production oil
the factory every year.

MURDER MYSTERY CLEARED
After Twenty Years Tramp Confesse.
the Crime,

BANGOR, Me-, April 29.--Twenty years
ago Daniel Morrison, a wealthy sportsman
from Ohio, was murdered and robbed In
hunting camp near Moosehead lake. His
guide, whom he had dismissed few days
before, was arrested but proved an alibi.
The murdered mans relatives and the
authorities made all possible efforts to dis.
cover the guilty person but failed. A letter
has just been received here containing the
information that a man n@ned Markham
died few weeks ago in Bonanza City,
Idaho On his death bed he confessed that
he killed Morrison. He said he was out Of
money and tried to rob Morrison. In the
struggle that ensued he killed him. He
escaped into Canada, and then went west,
never returning to this part of tho country.
