AUGUSTUS sAWYER's MURDERER.
A Lewiston Detective Tells Rather a Fishy
Story Regarding Detection of Guilty
One.

Lewiston, July 49,. Detective Fred L..
Odlin claims to have discovered the iden-
tity of the murderer of Augustus Sawyer
Of Monmouth, who was killed in his
barn at Monmouth, May 10, 1894. An
autopsy showed that Sawyer was killed
by the bullet from 32-oalibre revolver,
which pierced his head near the upper
tip and the brain near the base.
He had the reputation of being miser-
ly man of wealth and after his death his
heirs found about $12. 600 in money in
the house. 1t was Immediately reported
that he bad been killed for his money by
some one who knew something OF his
habits.
Less than week ago Odlin was in
Monmouth and claims to have found the
connecting link of long chain Of evil
dence, which really oonvicts man who
Is now out of the reach of the law be-
cause he is now serving long sentence
in states prison and in all probability
when he is released he will be old and
gray headed.
uhA Ill queSUioA was AL hAon-
mouth, Saturday May 10, 1894, and at a
certain hour he stood inside the door of
the barn while Augustus Sawyer stood in
the tie-up Of the barn.
In the mans pocket not many hours
after, was found a revolver of the 49,
oallbre kind, and there was one empty
Shell In chamber. EaA llsthe other cham
Ders were full-though one unexploded
cartridge had been tapped by the trig-
ger. Mr.. Odlin can prove this much and
even has the revolver in his possession.

g London. July 13.-At a meeting of the
bi-metallio league today an address was
delivered by Prof Francis A. Walker,
the American political economist. Prof.
Walker was frequently Interrupted by
bursts of cheers He declared that no
gold mono-metallisb party existed in
the United Statss, and said he would
stake his honor that if the BIZ metallic
convention was proposed to the United
States BY the principal sound money
men of Europe, the Americans would
tumble head over heels in welcoming the
proposal. What the silverites really de-
sire d, he continued, was silver Initiation.
Widely separated from these men were
the real bi-metallists of the United
States. Nothing, Prof. Walker declared,
could be more unfounded than to say
that the Republican national oonven-
tlon had pronounced in favor of gold
mono-metallism. Mr.. Mckinley, hu said,
had never been q gold mon-metallist.

Despite much friendly advice from
this side of the ocean, the United States
were not going to pull other people 8 chest
nuts out Of che fire, and would remain
devoted to the rehabilitation of silver as
money metal and always ready TO make
sacrifices to that end. The bonds of the
United States. he added would continue
to be paid in gold or it's equivalent. The

tinue to be as high as it ever has been

vious surprises. The statement is
as follows:

The Fundamental Issue.

The Item has continually urged
that it would be folly for the peo-
pie of Louisiana to indulge in or
binary politics; to discuss impor-
tant political policies or vote on
grave political issues, until the
greater and fundamental issue OF
an honest election be determined.
The result of the April contest,
as well as that of the third of this
month, shows the futility of enga-
cling in any election effect. no mat
ter how vital or important the
cause at stake, until we have set
tied that there shall be fair eX-
preston of the public will.
The repeal of all Federal laws,
whether of n supervisory or exc
cutory character, which related to
the conduct of elections within
the jurisdiction of a State, carried
with it the pledge that those COM
munities should see to it that the
causes which impelled the nation
to enact them should he removed.
Especially was this SO of the
South, where the vulgar election
thief perpetrated in a most I'M
blushing manner his vulgar frauds,
and which he still continues to do
in this locality of the Union.
The apologies or excuses for
this conduct has ceased to com
mand respect. The purpose OF
these election rascals is to retain
and enjoy political power. Go
vernors and Supreme Courts, the
results of these frauds, have be-
come its parties, and this condi-
ton is the unhappy and disgrace
full one under which Louisiana la
bors.
The glazing irregularities of the
South in the national election JUS
completed has been the subject oI
criticism by Democratic journals
North and South; journals which
have tired of defending fraud ant
that know there can be no pros.
perity or development in a com
munity dominated by such inhu
ences.
The Item has reproduced ant

There are men so expert in bust

taken as they come credit Is an
apparently pleasant pathway
through gardens of roses, but
leading to pitfall at the further
side. We might go further and
say that of business men, taken as
they come, a large majority fail,
sooner or later, and of those who
fail almost every one is wrecked
by credit. In every assignment,

and substance of the insolvents'
former credits, which the assets,
which are largely credited ac-
