one of the best coachers in New England.
Mr.. Cobb has perfect control of himself,
has excellent Judgment, is perfectly reli-
able in every place as q man, and Is highly
respected by all who know him. He be-
lieves in playing foot ball in a gentle
manly and scientific way and will not
allow any tricks or neanness among the
players and smuggling and profanity will
not be tolerated by him for a moment.
He is a hard worker and in his coaching,
he goes into the second eleven and drives
his men around in kind but exactinp
manner.

NOTHING BUT BONES.
Unearthing of a Suspected
Crime at landau, N. H.
he Supposed Remains of Mrs. Gray
Found in a Cellar.
thought That She Was Murdered by Her
Husband Years Ago.

WoodSyille. \. H, Oct l7.-What will
probably prove to be murder has just
been brought to light in the town Of
Landau, 10 miles from here. A French
man, occupying an old house, deserted for
the greater part of the time for several
years, wishing to make a potato bin in
the cellar, began work in one corner hy
removing a pile of rubbish and soon
brought to light the bones of a woman.
whose body 1t is has not been definitely
settled, but these statements are made:
Several years ago, one Gray lived some
where in the town of Haverhill He and
his wife We're continually having trouble
and they decided to separate. One day he
borrowed team of Jerry Barry TO take
his wife to Bath, to take the train for
California, where she had decided to go
Gray did not return until the next day
and since then nothing has been heard
from his Wife, and the superstition IS that
they quarrelled on the road, and. coming
to this deserted house, he killed her and
buried her in the cellar
Inquiries of the ticket agent disclosed
the fact that no ticket had been sold to
California for years Barry stands ready
to swear that the buttons on the dress
found in the cellar are like those worn by
Mrs. Gray, and the color of the hair cor
responds with Mrs. Grays.
County Coroner Dow and County Solicit
tor Adams went there, this afternoon.
The bones were brought to Woodsville,
this evening, and when placed in position
showed fracture OF the skull that must
have produced instant death. The blow
was inflicted by some blunt instrument
and it is DIR. Gibson's opinion that the
body has been in the cellar at least two
years
All the circumstantial evidence points
strongly to Milo Gray as the perpetrator
of the deed. Gray is now reported to be
