CHARLES MORRIS CAPTURED.
The Man Who Shot Game Warden Col
Inns Last July.

The visit of the commissioners Of In
and fisheries and game to Kineo, Sunday,
has resulted in the capture Of Charles
Morris who shot Game Warden E. o.
| Collins at the mouth of the Allegash
river, July 81, 1895, and had successfully
succeeded in evading arrest until Sun
day. Much effort was made at the timo
and since to effect his arrest, but without
success. Morris had given out word that
he would not be taken alive and has
lived in the woods ever since he shot
Collins.
Soon after the arrival of the commits
sioners at Kineo they succeeded in locat-
ing Morris IN "a camp on the shore of
Moosehead lake. Mr.. Carleton tele-
graphed Sheriff Leonard of PiscaJaquis
county, to come to Kineo at once.
The sheriff sent his deputy, Otis Martin
Kineo House at midnight Saturday, and
after consultation with the commissioners
it was decided to attempt TO capture Nor
ris at early dawn.
Accordingly Deputy Martin, Commits
sioners Carleton and Cakes and Captain
Pollard of Foxcroft. went to his cabin,
which Is in lonely spot, and fully sur
rounded 1t. Mr. Martin tried the door and
found it securely barred. Rapping, gruff
voice was heard to excIaim: "You can't
come in" Mr.. Martin informed him
that he should go in, and unless he I'M
barred the door it would be stove in.
After some parley the door was smashed
Morris, who WAS sitting on chair
| near the door, rs quick as lightning,
raised the chair with both hands and an
| ugly look came into his eyes, but he was
| instantly disarmed. Passing into the bed
room, he oatlike took his rifle from the
| bed, lacked a cartridge into the barrel.
but Mr.. Martin, in less time than ii
takes to tell 1t, had it in his strong
grasp, likewise Morris.
He then completely gave up and asked
the privilege of throwing his rife into
the lake. which was granted. He threw
| it into the lake as far as he could hurl it,
but later the commissioners secured il
and have 1t now in their possession, it be-
| ing the same rife he shot Collins with.
He was very ragged and dirty. He was
taken to the Kineo house and later to
Houlton, where an Indictment was found
against him at tho last term of court
there.
Great credit is due to Deputy Martin,
who acted throughout with perfect cool
ness, great tact and was perfectly fear
less. 1t was hazardous undertaking al
best, but the manner of its execution ex-
cites the admiration Of every body. People
about Moosehead. Lake are greatly ..reJoiced
that Morris is at last captured and every
one bfeathes easier as 1t is Enthusiastically
true that he has been the terror of this
section for long time.
On searching him after his arrest q
fully loaded seven shooter was found on
| his person.

DIoNNE'S DEATH.
A Mysterious Case Reported at Lewis
ton.

| About 10 O'Clock Sunday morning a
boy named Kelley found Honore Dionne,
apparently dead, in wood yard near the
lower Maine Central engine house at
Lewiston and notified Officer Mitchell.
who as soon as he found the condition
the man WIS in ut once rung for the
patrol wagon. Dionne was taken to the
police station and DE-. Hawkins called.
The doctor, as soon as he saw the man.
advised that he at once be sent to a
hospital and he was accordingly taken
to the French hospital. There was blood
on Dionns's face aud it was at first
thought that he had been struck with a
club or some instrument. No injury
could be found. with the exception that
his larynx bore every appearance of
having been violently twisted.
The man was given powerful stimu-
lants and every thing done to save his
life. He breathed with difficulty, and he
passed away about quarter past two in
the afternoon. DR.. Dixon had been called
TO aid DIR. Hawkins and they thought it
best to call a coroner, and therefore Coro-
ner A. E. MoDonough was summoned
and the body of the man removed to his
undertaking rooms on Ash street. A jury
was empannelled and the case continued
to Wednesday morning.
1t appears that two men by the name
of Henry Grenier and Thomas Mathews
say they found Dionne about 6 O'Clock
Sunday morning, and thinking he had
been drinking, took him to the shed
Kelley. Dionne is man between forty
and forty-five years Of age, is married
and lived at "a Lincoln alley. He is the
father OF ten children, one of whom is at
the point of death. He has been at work
for Eli Roi on the new bridge that is be-
ing built across the Androsooggin. Sat-
urday night he asked for some money
and Mr.. Roi paid him five dollars. Mrs.
Dionne says that her husband left the
house about half past seven Saturday
evening and that she did not see bin
again. Tt is said by some that he was
not drinking man, and by others that
he some times drank little He could
not have spent much OF bis money for
| liquor and supported wife and ten chill
dren on his wages.
4 The blood on the mans face came from
his vomiting and this might be caused,
the physicians think, by poison. AS has
been said, the mans larynx had the ap-
pearance of having been violently
twisted, and if this is true it would &C.
count for his difficulty in breathing. The
| mans death may have been caused by
apoplexy, but these are all theories and
the physicians would give no decided
opinion, and only the post mortem ex-
animation can give sthe cause of the
death. Not cent of money was found
on the man after he was taken from the
shed. and the question arises was he
murdered FOR the paltry sum of money he
had with him?

peal was at once taken from the
decision and sentence and bond
of 500 ordered given.
A second charge of threatening
against the same defendant was
submitted on the evidence taken
yesterday and the court dismissed
it with reprimand.
Sun You, one OF the chefa
fends who used gaspipe aud
penholders to conceal their tickets
in, pleaded guilty like a little man

MEAT CHOPPERS, BIRD
CAGES AND RAIN
GAUGES.

Before Whitelaw Reid be-
came Minister to France he
devoted a good deal of his
time to the conduct of his pa
per, the Tribune. The copy
editors who put up the head
lines of stories of the day fell
into the habit of making most
of them interrogative, as, for
instance, "Was it murder or
Suicide?" or "Did she kill him
for love?" or "Will the PreSi-
dent sign it?' etc.
The whole paper was Speck-
led with interrogative points.
The thing had been going for
weeks, till one day a postal ar
rived, addressed to Mr.. Reid,
and marked personal. 1t read
as follows:
I'm getting awful tired of
your questions. Why don't
you find out something? A
great newspaper is supposed to
know everything, and ought
not to annoy its readers with
needless inquiries. This morn
ing you asked: "Will Mr..
Platt CONSENT" How the HI
do | know?
That night an order came
that the Tribune must ask few
er questions.
In spite of WhiteIaw Reds
experience we are tempted to
ask the people Of Hawaii a few
leading questions, just an even
half a dozen of them.
QUESTION 1-Haveyo seen
the new improved American
MEAT and VEGETABL E Gu OP-
PER? If you haven't it will pay
you to call and take a look at it.
1t has an automatic rotarymove-
ment as we'll as the up and
down chopping motion. They
are simply and cheap and a
child can operate them.
QUESTlON2-Have you seen
the new BRASS BIRD CAGES
we have just received? They
are beauties and they only cost
from $3.50 to $3.50 according
to style.
QUESTlON3-Havey you seen
the PAINTED Bird Cages we
are offering at $1.25 to $500?
QUESTION 4-Have you seen
the HARTMAN STEEL WIRE
MATS we are offering? The
rainy season is coming on and
they are just what you want.
They are cheap, Clearly and
indeStructible.
QUESTIONS-Have you seen
the RAIN GAUGES we have
lately imported? With one of
these little instruments you
can laugh at the Clerk of the
Weather and give him a point
er after every storm.
QUESTION6-Have you seen
the latest thing out? 1t is a
portable bootblack stand, made
of iron, which can be screwed
to post anywhere and moved
in any direction. Must be seen
to be appreciated. Complete
with brushes, two kinds of
