wounded comrade. To Mrs. Remick's in
quircs he answered that his friend had
fallen upon a knife and it had cut his
throat He told her that they would try
and carry the wounded man to her house
and have a doctor summoned.
Mrs. Remick gave the man whole linen
sheet and he hurried away. She saw no
more of him and has heard nothing eX-
cept What Mr. Salisbury's boy says. The
boys story is that he took a boat and
rowcd to tie spot " here he SAN the men
90 ashore. He found three men kneeling
around a fourth whose throat Was 30 badly
gashed that he could see the blood as it
spurted from the jugular vein. The
wounded man seemed to be unconscious.
The men -wore at the boy and he ran
away.
f.. ". Stevens, carriage builder of Ban
gor, was fishing with his son on Beach
Hill pond, about mile from Flood
pond, where the tragedy is believed to
have occurred. He slept at Salisbury's
the night before. He came ashore late
in the afternoon to tell Mr.. Salisbury
that he would like to have some bedding
moved down to, the camp by the pond
that he might stop there that night.
While he MAS on shore Salisbury's hired
man came in and told of man being
dangerously wounded over on Flood ;
pond by falling upon knife. The hired
man said that he had seen the man and
that his comrades were going to bring
him down to Mrs. Remck' 5.
Mr.. Stevens heard no more about it but
the Fourth of July he went over to
Eddington pond to try the fishing there
and staid there that night. After dark he
was walking near the county road when
an express wagon came slowly along to-
ward Bangor. He stopped and looked at
it. There were three men on the seat
and the body of man was laid in the
bottom of the carriage. On inquiry he
was told that the man in the bottom of
the wagon had slipped and hurt himself
that day, and they were hurrying to get
him to a doctor. They were directed to
Dr. Bunker's house, few rods beyond,
but they passed right by it. Mr.. Stevens
believes that the body in the wagon was
a corpse. Mr.. Stevens made inquiries in
Bangor but.couldllearn of no man being
injured or killed in that vicinity, nor
could he find anyone who knew anything
of such an episode. there.
There We're five men including the
driver of the iexpress wagon, and it is
strange that such party could so thor
oughly cover up its tracks. The theory
! is advanced that the express wagon in
which the,body was being conveyed was
the same wagon that went east from
| Luther Cook pasture with a COW at
tached tost on the afternoon of July ?,
and that i'll held the same party that it
contained then.
There. is'proof that they called at other
pastures between Cooks and Gushee S
that day, but circumstances did not
favor them except in those places. There
was a row over something, probably some
! conscientious member of the party OBJ
/ jecting to taking so much live stock in
! one day, and one man was seriously
wounded If not killed within one mile
of this village in that row. If merely
wounded he must haze been without
medical attendance Tor at least thirty six
