A GREAT MYSTERY


that was early in the fail. after I had re-
turned from Harrison. He rarely came to
our house. His visit Sunday evening was
the second time that he had ever been at
our house. The first time was about two
years ago. Thesplaces where have met him
have been at the stores ard taverns, He
had never seen my mother but twice to my
knowledge.
He had no errand at my house that 1
know of that day. His object seemed to
be to go UP and see MilIiken and ind out
how he liked the lice and bed bugs in Paris
Jail, where Milliken bad served a time for
selling rum.
II had never had any money dealing with
him. and never saw him when l thought
he was very flush.
81 have lived in Raymond for eight or
nine years. Ny mother came from Scotland
and my father. Joseph Delean came from
Spain. He is cook at sea on the bark
White Cloud. We used to live in B ngor
and I was born there.
ION Monday morning l got up between
and O'Clock, went to the barn and fed
the turkeys. Then / took my hoe and went
towards the little brook to fix little wash
out in the road. I usually do SO after rains.
This was in a direction opposite from what
Britton had gone. Before eating breakfast
put on my oil cap and went down the road
to the little hill beyond where l had parted
with Britton. fixed few places in the
road. Just before I got 10 the Dillingha
road. OIL The top of the bill found Britton' s
umbrella. did not recognize it as his then.
1t was beside the road and all twisted up,
and about five inches of the end of the
handle broken off. 1t looked as if someone
had fallen onto it and bent the wires. saw
III stains on it. I took the umbrella to the
house. Mother did not notice the umbrella
beyond to ask where I got 1t. She was four
or five feet away. but did not examine it or
inquire further about it. I stood it in the
shed. My brother was ont milking the cows.
He had got up before did, and was doing
chores while l WAS going out.
81 did not stop in the road wnere 1 found
the umbrella, but stood it up while I went
little farther to fix washout. ] went
about a half mile from the house to fix
this washout. 1t was about or Z o'clock
wheL turned to go home.
II thought the umbrella had been wrecked
by the wind and thrown away by some one.
I never thought of it as having been thrown
away by Brltton. thought someone in
team threw it away.
II asw no stains of blood on the UNI

The Subway and the Paddock Heirs.

So far as the article in Saturdays paper
upon the Subway and the Paddock heirs
gave the impression that the latter contem-
plated any personal effort in the shape of a
sult-at-law to stop work ON the subway, 1t
gave wrong impression. Mr.. Dennis simply
called the attention of the governor to
certain alleged facts, leaving him and the
commission to make such use of them at
they saw fit. Mr.. Dennis had no intention
of taking any legal action himself.

was apparently very ready to talk about
Sundays occurrences. She said that Britt on
came to her house at either ten minutes be-
fore or ten minutes after four O'Clock and
staid about an hour. He seemed to be
nervous. but was net intoxicated. He migh
have been on the verge of delirium tremens.
Mrs. Delean did not remember much about
the happenings of Monday morning except
that both boys went out to work on the
roads. and later were busy helping in the
work about the house. Mrs. Delean was
glad, she said, that the officers had searched
her house. She asked if it was reasonable
to suppose that boy like Joe could make
way with man weighing 175 pounds.
Mr.. Frank A. Plummer. who lives near
where the hat was found, says that Joe
Delean asked him Tuesday if he heard a
strange noise about midnight Sunday.
When asked what he meant, Joe replied
that cit wasraining like hel.''
Thursday, the news of Britton's disap-
peurance reached his sister-in-Iaw, Mrs.
Hanson at her home in Gorham. and Mr..
and Mrs. Hanson at once went to Raymond.
Mrs. Hanson has since carefully looked over
her brothers. house. On the chair by his
bed was found an open testament, which
clothing, except that he wore on Easter
sunday, was in the house and so were all
the hats he was known to possess except
that found by the bog. The bed was as he
had left it when he arose, and there was
nothing to indicate that he might have gone
away on visit. Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson wish
to express their gratitude to the people of
Raymond and the surrounding towns for
their efforts in trying to solve the mystery
of Mr.. Eritton's disappearance.

cret agents of the Interior Department
Whether the lumber companies burned
the woods or not they at least jumped
promptly in to take advantage of 1t and
have now succeeded. A famous French
detective said: "When you seek to find
the criminal who committed crime
think first who would benefit by 1t, who
had the motive"
These woods were purposely and Of
aforethought set on fire, not only in one,
but in forty places. The lumber compan-
les while the forests still smoked came
swarming to the Interior Department to
get the dead trees in their clutches. They
never could have got the trees while the
timber was alive. 1t had to be killed by
fire or some other force before the Inter
ior Department could dispose of 1t. I'm
der this innocent permission to Indi-
ans" to log and cut timber some very black
characters, with not a drop of Indian
blood in their veins, are going to get rich,
and when they have cleaned up from last
summers fires without doubt another ac-
commodating fire will sweep new regions
and lay them bare and blackened to their
axes.
