GANG OF TOUGHS
Responsible for Auburn and
Lewiston Crimes.
Woman Believed to Be Concerned
in Abbie Whitney Case.
JESSIE COBB'S MYSTERIOUS
DEATH AGAIN COMES Up.

Auburn. Me, Nov. l7.-Miss Abbie
Whitney, the alleged victim in the
Sabattus drugging case. was not so
| Well during the day, but frightened
up IN the evening. No further arrests
have been made. but city Marshal
Garcelon is working on the case and
expects to have something more def
mite in few days.
one theory IS that n woman is con-
nected with the case-the one whom
MISS Whitney says held the door Miss
w ntneE herself does not seem to
tnink tins woman had any motive for
assisting in the preparation of the
crime.
Another theory has been advanced
that this crime is connected with the
Jessie Cobb case. 1t is thought that the
same gang had a hand in it, as Jessie
Cobb lived near the hail in Sabattus
where the alleged crime took place. and
Was supposed 10 know some of the Sc
crets which implicated certain people
in Lewiston and Auburn
Evidently both crimes We're commit
N''' ~ Il suns VI touSiiS WHO lilttSi
these Saturday night dances and are
supposed 10 have committed a similar
crime on Miss Martel.
An investigation is now being prose
cuted on the supposition that the mys-
FERROUS death of Jessie Cobb may have
been the direct result of similar
crime committed at the Sabattus dance
hall. The Cobb case has beeen shroud-
ed in mystery and although every
available clue up 10 this time has; been
traced down. nothing which would aid
in placing The responsibility for the
girls tragic death has been dcvcl-
oped.
The police have now been informed
that previous 10 Miss Cobb'S death she
confided to several of her friends that
she was dragged and assaulted one
evening while attending q dance at Sa-
battuS. whore she lived but that she
did not dare complain 10 the authori-
ties. as her assailant had threatened TO
Kill her If she dill 50.
The police now are working on the
theory that the man who committed
the assault upon Miss Cobb learned
that she had made known these facts
in the case TO her friends and fearing
that despite his threat she might
make 4 complaint to the police, lured
her to the lonely spot beside the river
near where her body was found and
strangled her and east her body into
the river.
This is really the first well defined
theory the officials have had in the
| ease since the young womans body
found = hnt.r nc n
it Will be thoroughly investigated.

LUDLOW
Makes Some Charges Which
May Stir up Things

WASHINGTON, JUNE u.-Gen. IluS-
low, formerly governor Of Havana, has
made a report to the war department de-
nying the recent ypublished statement
indirectly charging Brigade Surge0E
Major Davis with having accepted bribez
to influence his official action while act
ing as sanitary officer OF the city Of Ha-
vana. The generals opinion is showr
by the following extract from his report:
THE Cuban atmosphere as to the pub
lie service is one of lies and deceptionsS
accusations are many and proofs arS
few; but seldom can the actual facts be
obtained and verified. People will say
almost anything, but will refuse TO sigu
a statement or be sworn to it. In par
ticular are some Of the newspapers void
Of verify or virtue. Most Of them serve
personal interests and depend for their
income not on their legitimate sales OF
issues and advertising, but upon re-
ceipts from purchased space to avoid
public slander or exposure The evil ot
falsity and false accusations is wide
spread and profound and 1t will requira
a long time to eradicate it from the COM
munity in general. The American officers
in Cuba have had all this to contend
with. and nothing but absolute opennesG
of conduct and sincerity OF purpose of
speech and action can protect them from
it. 1t would be a waste of time to try
to hunt down the swarm of irresponsible
and cafes by the employees of q sensa-
tional press. 4

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, JUNE IL
Word was received in Minneapolis today
that there was danger Of another In
dian uprising at Leech lake. An Indian
by the name of Gway-Tay- appear
ed at the Leech lake agency recently and
announced that he was the Messiah. He
said that all Of his descendants, Indians
and white men, who lived in houses we're
soon to be destroyed by a big cyclone,
but all Indians who lived in tepees would
be saved.
The man secured the confidence of
many of the Indians who had such faith
in him that about two hundred left the
agency and went into camp on Squaw
Point. The matter gradually grew so Sc
rious that Captain Merser, the Indian
agent sent and Gway-Tay- arrest
ed.
The other Indians remain on Squaw
Point and are becoming ugly. They
make threats, and as there are no troops
at the agency, trouble is feared.
