round Himself in Denver.

Sandwich, Mass, August 25.-Mr.
Charles Pope. who mysteriously left his
wife in Brockton between three and
four years ago, has returned. During
all this time his father, Mr.. Charles E.
Pope, who resides here, and is the aged
sexton of the First Parish church, has
been in great suspense, as have all the
members of family. His wife to whom
he had been married but short time,
suffered terrible strain and finally had
to return to her parents. Young Pope
returned to his old home here. 1t is said
he is unable to account for his leaving
Brockton unless he was suffering under
some temporary alteration of mind, for
the first he knew he was in Denver, Colo
as carpenter. He kept his whereabouts
a secret until he had earned a sufficient
amount to bring him East on vaca

was accused of hiring Fred Elwell to
commit Ethe assault Now comes another
assault Late last night Edwin E. Allen
one of the men who is held for the grand.
jury, on the charge of conspiracy, and
who was admitted to bail at the prelim
mary hearing yesterday, was passing the
corner of Tibbetts hall, where dance
was in progress, when he was struck on
the head by pint bottle that contained
liquor, and nearly knock ked down. Where
the bottle actually came from or who
threw it is a mystery, but it is supposed
that it was thrown from the window OF
an anteroom in the danceg hall. 1t is
believed that it was the intention to do
Allen bodily injury for turning states
evidence in the conspiracy case. 1t is
not probable that Thompson had any
hand in this affair, and he is not in any
| way considered responsible, but it is
| thought that some sympathetic friend
| having the bottle in his hand and see
| ing Allen passing the building, threw 1T
at him in a spirit of revenge. Allen car
ries bunch on his head the size of a
hen s egg. Parts of the bottle were found
| twenty feet from the place where Allen
stood when the missile was thrown.
| Before yesterdays hearing, Alien told
of his connection with the assault on
Taylor, making a statement to County
Attorney Emmons and Lawyer Fred j.
| Allen.
| Fred Elwell, the Somersworth man,
who has pleaded guilty to the charges
of assault and conspiracy, and who is
held as a witness agai nst L. W. Thomp-
son, was brought over from the county
jail by Sheriff Hurd.
1t was 1890 am. when the prisoners
and witnesses, together with the prosecu-
ting and defending attorneys, assembled
| in the court room,
| Ali of the prisoners, with the exception
of Allen, were arraigned at the previous
hearing Justice Drew called the court
to order, and without reading the war
rant Allen pleaded guilty to the charge
of conspiracy.
George f. Haley, for the defense, then
waived the Kamination, and the prison
ers were gbound over to the September
term of the Supreme judicial court
| Thompson's bail was fixed at $500, Ell
wells at $1,000, Aliens at $500, Gsgnons
at 800. Edward Holmes and George
Bartlett of Springvale became sureties
for Thompson, W.. A Allen and Elmer
D. Bennett for Edwin E. Allen, Edmond

I thought they must be looking for a
tenement Suddenly l saw the man draw
revolver and freya shot at the woman,
who was only three feet distance. The

fired again at her. Seeing the man again

charged the revolver The muzzle being
so close to his ear it fairly lifted
him off his feet, killing him instant

Mrs. Mcleod ran around to the front
door of Mr. Hunts house and rang the
bell, and then went to the house OF Rog-
ers, where she was admitted. Drs. Nc
Carthy and Potter were called and it was
found that the bullet had entered the
right side of her face near the end of
the jaw, passing. through and shattering
the jaw bone, then passing through the
roof of the mouth and through the left
cheek out. The doctors pronounced that
her wounds are not dangerous and say

Bath, August 25. 1t has been reported
here that next season the Kennebec
Steamboat company might run one OF
its boats direct from Boston to Boothbay,
making tri-weekly trips to accommodate
the summer travel, which now comes to
Bath and is transferred here to the steam
ers of the Eastern Steamboat company

The PRESS correspondent interviewed
President James B. Drake OF the Ken

tell you what will be done next year. -
Should this be done it would take away
much business from the Eastern Steam
