SOCIALLY, A SUCCESS
KeatOn Picnic in Mustang Township
Was a Picnic and No More

FL Reno, Q. T., Sept. 16.-(Special.) y
The niue hadvectised Keaton picnic that
was to bring voters and their friends for
miles around, to Mustang township yester-
day. was, from political standpoint a
great big failure.
There was a big gathering from every
township and precinct in the county, but
when the faces were looked into closely II
was found that outside of fifty full grown
men on the ground the balance were can
dldates. There was Republican, Democrat
and Pop candidates galore. but the all
powerful voter was missing. and before
O'Clock, even the lockers for votes made
their way home in the heat and dust, dis
gusted with the whole business.
The noted speakers advertised on the
bills to be present were doing business
elsewher. Mr.. Keaton did not respond 70
his name he was not thar" Colonel
Johnson and Sid Clarke must have list
their way. as neither put in an appearance.
The young folks, boys and girls, were out
in their best blbs and fuckers and they
did not care whether there was any SPEAK
ing or not. as long as they had their fun
The grounds were well fixed with lemonade
and ice cream stands, and large dancing
platform did a good business.
The speakers were Colonel W. r..
Grigsby, Judge ]. Haskell Pitzer. Attorney
George Pearl and the Hon. ]. w. Hal y,
receptive candidate for the lesis azure.
Everyone had a different tale to tell. con-
sequently the few womn and children who
were compelled 70 listen TO them gO- very
tired, and IL was necessary, whI!9 the
speaking was going on. to start the music
and dancing.
Judge Pitzer told his audience he was
not a politician ''neyther' was ne q Candi-
date. but he proposed 10 tell them all why
he was a Republican While the Judge
was exhorting MS listeners. the dancing

MYSTERY IS SOLVED
Of The Identity of the Woman
Found DiSmembered.
MARIAN GRACE PERKINS
Was Her Name and She Was
of MiddIeboro, Mass.

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 1s.-As a result
Of today's developments there seems TO be
almost no doubt that the woman whose
dismembered body was found early in the
week III the Yellow Mil pond was Grace
Marian Perkins, of Middleboro. Mass.
In fact, so positive have the authorities
become that Medical Examiner Downs
this noon filled out death certificate
covering the case of the woman, and the
name of the victim he wrote as Grace
Marian Perkins.
The Identification by the young woman
father yesterday was supplemented today
by that of the AIiddleboro dentist who had
treated Miss Perkins teeth. He said there
could he no doubt that the head was that
of Miss Perkins. Undertaken Guliman to-
day notified the members of the Perkins
family that the remains were at the
morgue awaiting their pleasure.
Additional informa ton has come from
MiddleDoro to the effect that Miss Per-
kins left that place three weeks ago pre-
sumably with one Charles Bourne,
young man of the town, and since that
time all trace Of her has been lost. The
police ara making every effort to locate
Bourne.
The police are anxious to ascertain the
whereabouts Of DR.. Nancy" Guilford.
The New Haven county jailer has been
looking over the discarded effects of erst-
While prisoners at his Jail. He has come
across three articles of clothing formerly
owned by DR.. Gill, husband of Nancy
Gulford, and once an inmate of the jail,
on each of which, it was stated, appears
the fateful characters, &c ST. which were
also upon a piece of a mans under gar
ment III one of the bundles which were
found in the mill pend.
Middleboro, Mass, Sept. 1.-THE mem
bers of the Perkins family held a confer
cree today and decided that the identif-
cation of the girl was complete Frank
Perkins, the father of the girl, stated that
he had ordered a Bridgeport undertaken
TO ship the remains to Middeboro tonight.
Arrangements have also been made for
the funeral, which will be held Sunday at
the Perkins home.
1t is understood that Charles Bourne is
Only a short distance from this town and

The Information Was Incorrect.

The information on which the publica-
ton i'm Sundays Dispatch relative to a
collision in Fulton between a Chesapeake
and Ohio train and an electrician was
narrowly averted was based proves,
upon Investigation, TO have been erro-
neous. The railroad gates did not
fail to work. as was represented to the
Dispatch. and they were down when the
train. which had stopped at Orleans
street station, as usual. drew up slowly.
The electrician had passed before the
gates were lowered, and when there wa
no danger whatever. Both the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and the street railway
company are very strict in seeing that
the abundant precautions adopted To
guard against accidents at these crossings
are rigidly observed by their employees.
