AN INSANE MAN
Reported TO be Running at Large in the Towr
OF WhtefieId.

Whitefleld, July %. - Especially For
the past month or more, maniac of a
very pronounced tpye has been allowed to
roam at large through the town of White
field, to the great terror of many of its
inhabitants, and the authorities, so far,
have taken no action to place the madman
in safe keeping.
He is stranger to the town, and
imagines that he is pursued by men with
murderous intent. Hence he secludes
himself during the day in the woods
from which he makes an OCCASIONAL ex-
cursion in quest of food when hunger
gnaws him, and sleeps by night in out
houses and barns.
That come buildings have not been set
on fire by him already, is wonder. Per
haps when u few barns. with the year 5
hay, are burned by this madman, our
selectmen will open their eyes to their
neglect of duty. That they are aware OF
such dangerous character In their midst,
have no doubt, as he is on the tongue Of
everybody one meets within a radius OF
two miles of Turner's Corner.
1t Is for the interest of the community
rs well as his own, that this demented
creature should be seen to Immediately by
the town authorities

DEFENCE OF RED MEN.
Uprising Said 10 be Due to Persecution by
Cattle Barons.

KANSAS CITY, July 29-L. A. Southern
of Wardncck, Ida, Is in the city. Speak
ing of the reports from Jackson's Hole,
he pronounced them false, and charges
that unreliable correspondents are respon-
sible for them
THE truth of the matter is ? he said
that cattle barons with ranges in Wy
oming and Idaho, are determined to Sc
cure the Bannock reservation for paSturage
for their cattle. With this object In view,
they have Systematically and deliberately
provoked the Indians for the past three
years.
III they can cause an uprising, they will
strive to secure the Indians removal to
another district. Perhaps some settlers
have been killed, but you will eventually
learn that not one murder was done by
he Lcmh1 or BannOck Indians. 1t is
notorious among the people of Idaho and
Wyoming that cattle barons in the Teton
valley country have caused all the trouble
in that section
'ThcSc robberies are not entirely con
lined to stealing land and cattle from
Indians. 1t is invariably the case that
when a white man scseles in that country
under the homestead law, that in few
months the news will be sent around that
he is a 'rustlcr' or cattle thief The final
outcome will be that his ncighbors, all in
the employ of the big cattle owners, will
ride up and fill him full of lead. His
claim is again opened for settlement and
his small herd of cattle are lost in the
countless herds of the cattle of the barons.
"Iou may think this is wild story. but
il is the story of hundreds Of murdered
settlers. My brother, Clarence l.. South
ern, was one of the recent victims. He
was killed six weeks ago near Smiths
Fork about % miles from Fort Bridges
am now on my was to Crary's Mills, y
Y, to break the news to his mother"

MORE PEACEFUL,
Reports From Disturbed District Are Of Less
Warike Nature,

WASHINGTON, July 29.-DiSpatchcs re
ceived at army headquarters here ycstcr
lay from General Coppinger show that
the force of cavalry ordcrcd<so .Jackson's
Hole, the scene of the Indian troubles. in
Wyoming, Is making its way there. and
will probably reach the place by tomorrow
night. In addition, other troops have been
ordered to Market Lake from Fort Russell
so as to be in readiness for active worl,
should their services be required. No
mention IS made of further trouble, and.
with the known peaceable attitude of the
Indians of Washable and Duschesne res
ervations, the situation is regarded as very
much simplificd. General Coppinrer's
latest dispatch reads substantially as fol-
lows:
Major Chaffee's squadron of cavalry left
Market Lake at p. NJ, Saturday, and will
probably reach Marysvale (near Jacksons
Hole on Little Grove Tree creek on Tues.
day night. Constant commpnication between
the two points (Marys d and Market
Lake will be kept up by cSlrier lines Two
Indians and the chiefs Of the Shoshones and
Bannocks from the Fort Hall reservation left
Market Lake this Saturday morning to ioin
Major Chaffee.
Another dispatch from General Con
pinger states that the road to Marvsvale
except 10 miles through Teton Pass. is re-
ported rs good. Five companies of the
Eighth Infantry left Fort Russell Satur-
day afternoon to be held at Market Lake
as a reserve force

ton is en- route, with the department
commander, to Marysvale. The com
panies of the Eighth Infantry will reach
Market Lake today.
The statement that the Indians of the
Washable and Fort Duschesne rcserya-
tions are not involved in the present move
ment is regarded by the officers of the
army as very important. The Shoshones
are under the direction Of the agent of the
former reservation, and the Utes under
the latter, so that it is felt here that there
will be no trouble experienced from them
This condition of affairs, it is believed
here, makes the situation much easier tn
handle, for with but one tribe of Indians
to deal with, the uprising can be much
more easily suppressed. There are now
four troops of cavalry on their way to
Marysvale, and five more will be at Mar
ket Lake today, which makes the available
force all that it is hoped will be Necessary
to quell the disturbance.

All diarrhmal diseases are caused by i'm
proper food and i'll effects of hot weather.
without specially nutritious diet the
little ones are wasted from lack of nour-
ishment,an the impairment of the nutri
tive process at this unfortunate season
leaves the door open to cholera infantum
and fatal diarrh,ra attacks.
Physicians, nurses and mothers, who
nave had. experience IN cholera infantum,
have found that in every case where lac
tated food has been properly used, the dis
ease was avoided and the child kept well
and strong all thro ugh the summer.
Prevention Is the better part of wisdom
at all seasons and the child who lives IN.
on this food will keep well and strong
during the summer season and carry a
good stock of vitality into the fall ard
winter.
The most skillful specialists In chill
dren's diseases have publicly advised
mothers that to be on the safe side they
should use lactatcd food until their chill
dren are old enough to come to the table.
1t strengthens the weak ones and keeps
the well babies strong
Lactated food is made to save children's
lives. They take it greediy when other

DRAWING IN THE NET.
pite7ei Himself is Also Thought to Have Been
Murderer.

CHICAGO, July 29-Inspcctor Fitzpat-
rick was yesterday put into possession of
facts which weave closer the web of proof
around H. II. Holmes, and adds another
victim to the already long list. This in
formation was furnished by Attorney
George b. Chamberlain, general manager
fo the Lafayette Mercantile agency
This murder is shown to have been prior
to or during 1891. b. L. Pitzcl, who later
fell victim, was participant in the
murder of this man. and Attorney Cham
berlain says is equally guilty with Holmes
The crime was committed in Chicago
either in 1891 or early in 1892 Again the
victim was traced TO the Holmes building
In EnglcwOod. There ii was, Mr.. Cham
borlain gives the impression, that the crime
was committed
The police do not think that his body
has been found. The skeletons that were
articula were furnished year or two
years later. 1t is the belief that the body
was diSscctcd and crcmatcd or buried deep
In the quicklime in the bottom of the base
mcnt
The name was kept from the public, the
attorney says, to allow the police to work
up further evidence. 1t is believed that
this was the first victim of II. H. Holmes.
Sensational Yarn.
A local paper yesterday announced the
receipt of an anonymous letter, which
says that Minnie Williams, Mrs Connor,
an unknown man and little boy are liv-
ing in Wabash avenue, somewhere be
tween Fortyflrst and Fifty second streets.
The writer says he is friend Of Holmes,
and that he knows Minnie Williams and
Mrs. Connor well. He claims to have met
them and been recognized by them last
week. He says he would have given this
Information to the police, but he fears the
treatment he would receive mt their hands
and besides does not want newspaper
notoricty. He also SAYS Holmes will be
able to produce Minnie Williams at the
proper time.
Attorney Capps' Theory.
William Capps. the Fort Worth (TcxD
attorney who is here in behalf of the heirs
OF the Williams sisters, advances a rather
startling theory, which, If found to be
true, Will add another victim to the long
list of murders already credited to Holmes.
According to Mr.. Capps, Minnie r. Will
Jams had u brother, named Horace A
Williams, in Denver This young man
either died suddenly or was killed in Nav
or June, 1893, shortly before the supposed
murder of the Williams sisters.
The manner of his death is not known
to the attorney. but he says he has as
ccrtaincd that the young man was insured
for $500 in favor Of his sister Minnie.
This fact Mr., Capps considers to be de
cidedly peculiar, as, he says that it is not
reasonable 20 suppose that Horace Will
Jams would insure his life in favor of n
sister who was already wealthy. lie said
that his investigation upon this point was
but from what he had
learned, he was Of the opinion that
Holmes had first insured the young man

WHAT DOES IT MEAN i?
The Meaning Of Insurance is to In
demnify for Something That is Lost.
Are You Sure Your Company
Can Do This?

Is 1t not as essential to know
that the company promising this
indemnity is as sound and solvent
as a person signing a note or
other obligation?
A fire not only destroys your
property, but at the same time
throws you out of your home or
your business.
We never have lost company by
failure, in business of twenty
years experience, Never had
company make an assessment.
Yet in past twenty years more
than half the companies allowed
to transact business in Maine
have failed or gone out of bust
ness. Companies are dropping
out nearly every month.
Is 1t not for your interest,
financially, to get the best, when
their rates are no higher than
the poorest?
Kindly ponder these inquiries,
