drove back the enemy with heavy loss.

SAYS BANK OWES HIM.

Eastport, November I'm. M. Foster,
the veteran ex treasurer and cashier Of
the Lubeo bank, whose return to his
home in Lubeo, Saturday, has been re-
ported was allowed to return home with
a guard in hopes of arranging the $50. 600

He expects to account for much of the
lost money, and it has been given out
that the bank owes Mr. Foster, but just
how is not explained.
1t was reported here Tuesday that the
amount of his bonds was not collected
Tuesday and it was reported here that he
might not find enough to keep him from
returning to the jail again.

officers for the arrest of the murderer.
The fact stood, however. that Laplante
was murdered almost in his own dooryard
within the shadow of his own roof, by
some one apparently conversnnt with all
his movements and habits, and this
should not have been lightly thrown
aside.
This morning when Coroner Blanchard
and DR.. Gauthier, High Constable Mar
chessault, Crown Prosecutor Blanohette
and Detective Lambert arrived on the
scene, it was expected that the inquest
would be resumed at once. Such. how
ever was not the case. Three of this
party, Messrs. Blanchette, Marchessault
and Lambert made their way at once to
the house of the murdered man, and it
was after twelve O'Clock before they com
pleted their investigation and for this
reason the coroner adjourned the inquest
until this afternoon, without taking any
testimony.
Comparatively little of the self-accused
murderer is known here. He left here
when but a lad some six years ago. He
went to the States with his people to
make his way. He remained at Biddeford
until about October /, when he came to
st. Liboire and took employment with
the man he has confessed to have
murdered. There was really nothing un-
usual In his coming here and nothing
was thought of it. Guillemet worked up
on the farm as any laborer might, and
made his home with the family. 1t there
was an intrigue between Laplante's wife
and Guillemet as he alleges, it was we'll
conceived, and neither the neighbors nor
the murdered man knew anything of it.
E.During the investigation, which has
been going on for the past fifteen days,
Guillemet remained about as usual.
His presence was not required after the
first day, and he went about the neigh
borhood freely and apparently in the best
of spirits.
On Friday evening last he purchased
ticket at the Grand Trunk railway station
here for Biddeford. Before leaving which
he did In the coolest manner possible, he
gave it out that it was his intention to
go to Biddeford and there, If possible,
find employment for Mrs. Laplante, who
was now dependent upon her own work
for living. He then left Friday evening
for Maine at 1922 p. m. Guillemet was
exceedingly acute as regards the expendi-
ture of money while here. Before going
he stated that he had little or no money
and in one case borrowed o small sum.
Mrs. Laplante will be arrested immedi-
ately and sent to st. Hyacinthe.

Wilder and his sister with revolver, the

which contained small amount of mon
