Italian, aged 26 living at IL Oneida

Sullivan to move his team little, and
Sullivan with an oath refused. This

about fighting. Sullivan said if he would
get off the team he would thump him.
The Italian jumped to the ground, and
Sullivan. it is claimed, struck him a
severe blow under the left eye, then the
men clinched just as they reached the
door of the shop Albano drew revolver
and fired three shots at Sullivan, the
latter falling dead with a bullet just over

illegal measures to aid the insurrection

ance that the United States should not
fall short of it's duty to a friendly nation.

Augusta, June II. 1.-Expectant are the
eyes Of the Democratic politicians tonight
awaiting the issue of the Maine Democrat
tomorrow The Maine Democrat as all
are aware, is the organ of that rank of
the Maine Democracy commonly known
as the opium Trust 1t is also the
personal organ of Colonel Charles b.
Morton, who was few days ago removed
from his office as fourth auditor of the
treasury, by President Cleveland.
1t is understood that the Democrat will
publish as a leading editorial two
column and half article on the removal
of the Colonel In defence of Morton it
will say that his removal will be a severe
blow to the Maine Democracy and yet
while it does not care to criticize the adj
ministration in any way, says that
Colonel Morton has been valiant and
faithful worker in the Democratic camp
for many years.
The editorial will also review with a
great amount of pride the appointments
that were made at the recommendation OF
Colonel Morton, and contrasts the
character of the men appointed at the
suggestion of the state committee, and
those who were not endorsed by the COM
mittee The article will end with we'll
Drowned ''roast" to "thieves and octo
genarians, which is supposed to refer to
some of the appointments in the Bangor
custom house.
The latest phase in the Morton matter
is the partial announcement tonight that
the doughty Colonel will next Monday
assume the editorship of the Maine DEM
ocrat until something better turns up.

More About the Mysterious Burg.

A JOB DONE WITH NEATNESS AND
DESPATCH.
Mr.. Hutchins Takes His Loss CooIIy and
Says LittIe-A Fortune iu Securities in
Safe to Which Bills Were Not Trust
ed-No Clue to the Thief.
Special to the PRESS

Fryeburg, June 1.-THE newspapers are
full of accounts of all kind of robberies,
but a burglar who calmly unlocks your
store door, opens the safe by making the
proper combination, takes property
worth $25, 600 to the owner and then care
fully locks up, maybe said to "burgle"
on quite novel plan.
Mr. James E. Hutchins whose loss has
been already reported in the PRESS, is a
man of 73 During his long life he has
accumulated a handsome property, be-
ing reputed to be worth 800, 900. Mr..
Hutchins lives in the village of Lowell,
but is the owner of store at North Frye
burg. This store is the typical country
shop of the cross roads. 1t is in a story
and half white frame building, and
before it is row of hitching posts for
the convenince of the customers who
drive in from miles around to do their
trading. Inside are groceries, boots and
shoes, dry goods and motions - The
show window is piled high with straw
hats of the kind used by farmers in the
hay field, and on the box stove in the
centre OF the store is pyramid OF cans
of Paris green.
The entrance door is provided with two
big old fashioned locks, but as the keys
to one have been lost. it is not used So
far as known there are but two keys to
the other lock. One of these is kept by
Mr.. Harry L. Hutchins the grandson of
the old gentleman and his manager at
the store. The second key is in the pos
session of Mr.. Bert Webb, the clerk
At the left of the entrance, close to the
big show window, stands a safe of mod
ern make and provided with combina-
tion lock. In this safe, when the store
was closed last Thursday night were
various securities belonging to Mr..
James Hutchins, and $25 in silver. In
the morning the safe contained three old
bills.
Harry Hutchins was in Portland last

PAPER WAS HIDDEN AWAY

in the store. It had apparently not been
disturbed when Harry visited it's hid
ing place Friday morning. Of couse
there have been all sorts of rumors
afoat, and one of these was that several
men knew the combination, having been
told it at one time or another, but that
is denied by Harry Hutchins. 1t does
not seem probable that anybody could
have seen the combination made, no sus-
picious men who might by the widest
flights of fancy be made to serve as high
class bank breakers have been seen in
the little village-and there you are
1t would have been easy to gain access
to the store, as q key could be fitted to
the old lock without much difficulty.
The store has been entered twice before
and small quantities of goods and money
taken, but those were breaks such as
are ordinarily made in country places,
in one case window being pried open ;
in the other rear window Whoever
visited the store last Thursday must have
known it well. He disturbed no one and
left no trace of how he came or went.
But he very thoroughly cleaned out the
SAFE Even the insurance policies were
carried off. The intruder very likely
opened the safe doors by the light OF one
match. Then struck another to see by
while he scooped out the drawers all
but two or three old bills at the bottom
of one of them. Having done this, he
locked up the shop in the dark and de-
parted. One of the village theories to ac-
count for the robbery is that somebody
who had grudge against old Mr.,
Hutchins "did it just to plague him. J,
Today business was being transacted
as usual at the store except that mixed
with requests for sugar and dry goods
were questions and answers about the
robbery Many believe that MI. Hutchins
has his own ideas as to who carried off
the property and is awaiting for the prop
er time to make them known. That how
ever, does not answer the great question
of the day in North Fryeburg, "Who
robbed the safe?"
Notwithstanding the estimate that
Harry Hutchins places on the loss, max
ing it not over $685. coo there is a story in
circulation here that Mr. Hutchins SEN
ior, has said he is out to the tune of $75
600. AS Mr. Hutchins is not at home it
is impossible now to Eget an estimate
from him.

WISHED TO DIE.
Determined Attempt at Suicide by a Bid
deford Man Last Night.

deford Man Last Night.
Biddeford June 11.-Abner Mcdonald a
teamster, for many years in the employ
of the Saco Water Power and Machine
shops, attempted suicide by shooting to-
night, and was found in his bedroom un-
conscious with two bullets in his abdo-
men, and one in his head. He was liv-
ing at midnight, but the attending ply
sicians say the chances are against his re-
covery. Dependency, due to illness, is
supposed to be the cause. A let ter written
by him to his daughters is in the posses
sion of his brother and its contents are
kept secret. A son, Edgar Mcdonald,
is station agent at Londonderry, NH.
Mcdonald had severe attack of grip
four years ago which left his physical
condition impaired. Two years later he
had a long illness, at times being partial
ly deranged. He seemed to fear a re-oc-
currance of this trouble and told his two
daughters few days ago he would never
pass through such a siege again if he
could possibly help it. He had often told
them if it were not for them he would
kill himself. After supper tonight when
they suggested going to ride, he urged
them to 60 They reeollect that while

doctors probed five inches and were un-

were evidently aimed at his heart, but
took effect below it. The muzzle of the
pistol was held so near that the shirt
was scortched. The letter which he left
