Man Was Murdered.
Team Arrived Home Alone, and Parts
Of the Mans Clothing Were
Found Along the Road.

The authorities OF North Kingstown
are investigating a suspicious case that
was called TO their attention early this
morning. Last evening Howard Orr, a
we'll known resident of Saunderstown
disappeared in a mysterious manner,
and the circumstantial evidence which
his relatives and friends came across
in their fruitless search for him is caus-
ing them considerable anxiety.
Yesterday afternoon at $50 o'clock
Mr.. Orr. who had gone TO Narragansett
Pier, about ten miles from this place
left the pier for his home. He started
to drive over the highway, but he did
not reach home. About s o'clock in the
evening Mr.. Orr's horse and wagon ar
rived home without a driver. His folks
became alarmed and IL was decided 70
look for him along the road. The wagon
was first examined with the result that
portion of Mr.. Orrs coat and jumper
were found. When the searchers reached

Another Attack on Chamberlain.
Queen Prorogues Parliament.

London, Oct. 27.-During the momen-
tary lull in the fighting in Natal comes
news from the western border which
temporarily shifts the scene ~ chief in
terest TO the beleaguered British force
at Kimberley. The sharp struggle there
Tuesday appears to have been the re-
suit of a sortie with the view of break
ing the Gordon surrounding the place.
The British, apparently five hundred
strong, met seven hundred Beers and,
according TO the official and other ac-
counts routed them alto severe fight
ing in which the armored trains APP
peared 10 have done valuable service.
The Beers were entrenched strongly
seven miles northward and the British
brilliantly carried the enemy s~oosition
without serious loss. 1t is said that the
Beers twice unfairly used a white flag.
Botha who was among the killed was
a member of Volksraad and "a famous
Dutch fighter He distinguished him
self as a marksman at Brencostspruit
when the nine British militiamen were
moved down. He afterwards defended
a farmhouse again;l the British. When
ne surrendered the farmhouse Botha
was found with five wounds bathed in
htpOd.

The Anti-Saloon league lost another
case in Judge Wilbur's court today.
The league furnished testimony enough
10 convince the grand Jury that Drug
gist Alfred forth whose pace is at
the corner OF Daboll and Public streets,
kept a nuisance. so the trial of Barth
was begun yesterday.
The attorney general had a lively
time TO keeo out reflections on the
characters of two witnesses. one OF
the witnesses who swore Barth sold
him LIQUOR. was the one time Police
Sergeant Louks OF Central Falls.
Louks' testimony was effectually dis
credited and the Rev. Norman Plass
name was gotten before the jury, as
was a little difference OF opinion be-
tween that gentleman and the authori-
ties OF this civ.
There has been for many years past
a tendency on the part of jurors 10
treat spotter testimony as of little ac-
count. and the members of this jury
did not believe the sDotters in TINS
case worthy OF an exception when
ii was known by every newspaper read
er that Louks would rather have re-
manned on the police force in Central
Falls than leave the force had he not
been Obliged TO SO do. Some respect
able witnesses called bv the state said
they had heard stories about liquor
being sold at Mr.. Barths place. but had
not themselves bought it there. None

resorted 10

up another piece of the missing mans
clothing. There were evidences at each
side OF the bridge that the horse had
been suddenly stopped by some one. A
large number of foot prints were also
discovered in the vicinity.
The searching party came TO the
conclusion that Mr.. Orr had been at
tackled by robbers as he had a sum of
money with him. but as yet there is
no positive proof that such was the
case. The missing man was 40 years
old. lie was the father OF a boy, who
was drowned here last summer.
The police CT Narragansett Pier this
morning began a search of the coun-
try between there and Saunderstown.
Capt. Orr went there yesterday with a
wagon load of fish. which he sold
throughout the town. Last evening
when he left for home he had quite a
sum of monev with him and although
IL is not certain the captain was foully
dealt with the police cannot pccount
for his disappearance.
Capt. Orr was never a drinking man,
and no one at the Pier believes that
he met with an accident through over
indulgence OF LIQUOR.
