The Archdeacon is a veteran himself,
having served four years in the war as
color bearer and commander of one of
the guns of his battery. He left the
army with a most enviable record, of

A Flock of Sheep Perish with Cold
After Bctne ShOrn.

SOMERVILLE, May q. 1s95.-An un-
~precedented story of a flock of sheep
freezing to death in the month of May
has just reached here from the back
county district of Walnut Valley. Dur
ing the hot weather in the early part
of May Farmer Yetter sheared his sheep
and turned them out to pasture near
Walnut Valley.
During the cold storm and frosts that
followed the heated spell he was away
from home and the lock was left un
sheltered. On going to the pasture field
a day later he found thirty-one of the
shorn sheep frozen stiff. Twenty mother
less lambs were found huddled abou;
the dead ewes, which had been saved
from freeing by their heavy coats.

SHORT IN ACCOUNTS.
Station Agent Parkman Of HaIIoweIl Alleged to
Have Stolen the Roads Money.

Hallowell, Nov. 29.-(SpeciaD 1t is
reported that Edwin O. Parkman, who
has been discharged as station agent of
the Maine Central Railroad Co. here, is
short in his accounts, the amount being
$500. He has left Hallowell for parts
unknown, and Elmer c. Douglass of this
city, is in charge. Parkman's populations
have, however, been made good.
For a number of months, Parkman has
been slow in his returns, and when he
was pressed from the general office he
replied that certain parties had not been
paid their freight bill. The company
became suspicious and an investigation
was made, discovering the shortage of
$500. Parkman was Immediately dis
charged.
He Is said to owe $4,000 in personal bills
here and will probably file a petition in
insolvency. Parkman claims that the
Maine Central funds were loaned by him
to a friend, who was interested in a
patent, and that that friend left him in
the lurch. The history of his relations
with the Maine Central Railroad is not
fully known, but it is understood that
several times when the auditor came
ro4nd, there was not sufficient funds.
Parkman has been following the turf a
great deal during the past few months
and is interested in the trotter, Mystic
Girl
