MURDER AT HOLBROOK.
J, c. Hiatt "MaliciousIy Murdered''
 by Harry Donieigh.


 On Sunday evening, the 18th inst. {, in Holbrook, Harry Douleigh shot and killed J. c. Hiatt. The circumstances which led up to the killing were brought out at the coroner's inquest held on Monday, and were as follows: Hiatt and Q number of others were playing "freeze out" on Sunday aftor- noon in the Cottage saloon where Donleigh was bartender. Donleigh went to the table and asked what there was in the game for the house, and Hiatt jokingly said. "Nothing." Dou- leigh said that if the house got nothing he would stop the game and that d--d quick. Hiatt then threw his cards down on the table and asked one of the players to cash his cheeks. Don- leigh in the meantime kept up tirade of abuse which he directed to Hiatt, which the latter returned.
 The war of words was carried on until threats of fighting were iudulged in by both parties, and Douleigh walked behind the bar and picked up win chester which was unloaded. He threw cartridge in the chamber, and another in the magazine and drew the gun on Hiatt. The latter advanced towards the bar saying that Douleigh did not have sand enough to shoot. After considerable talk Donleigh placed the gun on the bar and both shook hands. -...
 The talking was resumed in a few minutes. and Donleigh opened the front door and ordered Hiatt out of the house, and he went, Donleigh closing the door after him. Hiatt walked away few steps when he re. turned and opened the door. Don- leigh told him to leave or he would shoot him.
 Hiatt walked away in the direction of Wattron's drug store, where several men were standing, and commenced talking to them. Suddenly Donleigb walked out of the saloon with the winchester, took deliberate aim at Hiatt, who had not yet seen him, and fired. He quickly threw the second cartridge in the chamber, but it missed fire.
 On the firing of the gun Hiatt stag gered and cried out, 70, My God; he has shot me through tho heart" He walked few steps and fell dead
 Donleigh after the shooting walked back into the saloon remarking, "If he thinks that won't shoot he is mis- taken" He then left the saloon, gun in hand, and went into the drug store where he laid down the winchester and picked up shot gun. The gun was taken away from him by A. M. Boyer and F. w. Nelson
 Nat Groller came in and arrested Donleigh. and turned him over to Deputy Sheriff Hufford, who arrived shortly afterward, and he was lodged in jail.
 The coroner's jury returned a verdict of "malicious murder"
 J. C. Hiatt. the murdered man. had been in Holbrook for the past five or six months, working at the barber trado. He was of genial disposition and during his stay there had made i many friends, and everybody sneak, we'll of him. He did not drink and gambled but little. He leaves a wife but no children.
 Harry Donleigh, the murderer. is an old timer in Navajo county and has worked at the various COW and sheep ranches of the county, and in the winter time he tended bar when op- offered. He is said to be of 2 9uarrslsome disposition.

population live in comfort and prosper
ity, she takes high rank in agriculture
and some of her farm products are wide
ly known, not only In this country, but
in lands across the sea.
Maine is emphatically a.land of homes.
Scattered all over the settled portion
of her domain, on hillside and in valley,
are comfortable farmsteads, where are
raised noble men and women, many of
whom, with the natural Yankee inclina-
ton to roam, have gone forth to help
people other States and to develop the
resources and build up the industries of
the great and growing West.
Though she has no immense areas of
prairie land, where steam power can be
used in blowing burrows extending
miles in length, and upon which single
capitalist may cultivate thousands of
acres for speculative purposes, yet, de-
spite the lessons taught in the school
biographies, she has, in very many 10
calities, fertile soil, capable of an album
dant production of the various articles
suited to her climate.
The land surface of the State of Maine
comprises 10, 49,. 800 acres-an area equal
to that of all the rest of New Eng
land.
The yastnorthern portion Of the State

acres; an area greater than that of Scot
land or Ireland, little less than that of
the State of Indiana and about one-eighth
of that of Texas.
The surface of the State is broken,
but not mountainous. A chain, or rather
a succession of hills and mountains, ex-
tends across the State in a northeasterly
direction from the New Hampshire line.
The highest of.these, Mt. Katahdin, rises
to height of 8, 1856 feet above the sea level.
From this irregular line of hills the sur
face slopes northwardly to the St. John
river and southwardly to the coast The
entire surface of the State has, also, a
general slope from west to east.
Maine has five distinct river systems,
viz: The st. John, Penobscot, Kenne-
bee, AnC6oscoggin and St. Croix. The
almost innumerable branches of these
principal rivers, together with number
of smaller rivers not tributary to either
system, and the many lakes by which
these rivers are fed, place Maine in the
third rank in water area among the States
Of the Union; while in the extent and
value of her available water sspower. she
SURPRISES every other State.
The three principal rivers flowing
southwark through the interior of the
State, are the Penobscot, Kennebec and
Androscoggin. The Penobscot basin
has an area of $500 square miles and is
by far the longest river district con-
tanned wholly within the State. Its
length is 800 miles and the estimated an
nual disshagge .ea water SO, sQ0, 000, 900

Reed. There is training and policy in it
also. For more than two generations
Maine has sent to the national councils
men of high abilities; and once having
found such servants she has generally re-
tanned them.
At this time, when the political fame of
Thomas B. Reed is SO high; and when so
many eyes are turned towards him, it
will be interesting to glance briefly
towards some of the other men of Maine
who have represented, or still represent
her at Washington.
Of the earlier statesmen there were
four whose careers are yet remembered
by men of the present day: George
Evans, William Pitt Fessenden, Lot NJ.
Morrill, and Hannibal Hamlin. The first
two belonged to the Wing school of poll
tics, the two latter to the Democratic.
Mr.. Evans's active political career was
over when the war and acute anti-slavery
period came on. His three contempora-
ries, without regard to former affiliations,
united in the Republican party, and there
attained their greatest eminence. Mr..
Evans's fame was as Wing and a pro.

or 3, 408, 900 spindles.
Connected with these river systems is
an immense number of lakes of greater
or less extent, forming great reser-
Volrs from which the rivers are fed. The
number of lakes of sufficient size to be
dellneated upon the most accurate maps
OF the State is upwards of 1900, with an
aggregate area of 1890 square miles;
giving one square mile of lake surface to
every lab square miles of territorial
area.
The configuration of the coast of
Maine is peculiar and unlike that of any
other Atlantic State. The force of the
great rivers flowing southwark from the
interior of the State; the dashing of the
mighty ocean and the lashing of the
surging tides against the rock-bound
shore; the grinding of vast masses of
Ice, and other powerful agencies have, in
the course of time. worn into and
through the softer portions of the rock,
and in this manner have formed almost
countless bays, inlets and coves, in MANY
places extending far into the land and
leaving projecting capes, headlands,
promoptories, peninsulars and necks of
land or rock; thus giving to the coast of
Maine the most irregular and sinuous
confguration of any portion of the At
lantic coast of the United States.

party,-a party unusually well supplied
with great leaders. Mr.. Blaine, in his
Twenty Years of Congress, speaking of
Evans as an orator and legislator. de-
clares him the rival of Webster. As a
national figure Hannibal Hamlin had
far longer career than either of his con-
temporaries. From the day when he
entered the Twenty Congress
until the day he voluntarily retired from
the Senate in 1881, thirty-eight years
were included. He served prominently
in two parties, leaving seat in the Sen
ate to which he had been elected IS
Democrat, to espouse the cause of the
young Republican party, of which he
became one of the sages. AS Vice Prcsi-

where between these points except for
few miles west of its starting point,
and this line would be about 21S miles
in length, while the coast line, following
all the identations and snuosities of
the shore would measure fully $500
miles.
These mighty agencies, which from

land, left behind them an almost count
less number of islands, of greater or less
extent, which lie along the coast in every
direction. In Casco Bay and also in
Penobscot Bay, seamen say there have
are days in year.
Some Of these islands are covered with
trees and meadows; while others, stand
ing farther out from the coast, are but
lonely, barren rocks in the midst of the
restless ocean. Some are fiat and low
lying; while others have mountains of
considerable height, which serve as land
marks for navigators approaching the
coast.
The hills of Mount Desert, the largest
OF these islands, rise to height of more
than fifteen hundred feet and can be seen
from great distance at sea.
The geographical position of Maine,
as the northeastern limit of the United
States has given the impression that it
is possessed of a most vigorous and, in
deed, semi-arctic climate. There are,
however, six States extending farther
north than Maine. The large area of
Maine necessarily gives it a considerable
variety of temperature according to
locality. Near the coast, the influence
of the ocean lessons the snowfall and
softens the winters cold, while it also
tempers the power of the heat in sum-
mer.
Farther north the snowfall is greater
and, in some portions Of the State, the
snow, coming before the ground freezes,
protects vegetation by its warm, thick
covering and is thus a benefit to early
agricultural operations. The dry atmos-
phere of Maine winter renders a low
temperature less uncomfortable than the
much higher temperature Of places
farther south where the moisture is
much greater. Maine does not claim
tropical climate, but its air is pure and
bracing ;miasmatic diseases are unknown
and the statistics of the death rate show
it to be peculiarly healthful.
