 Young MT. Pingree has wired his mother and his uncle in the United States not to come to London.
 The body of the late MT. Pingree will be embalmed and taken to his home.
 The diagnosis made by London special ists of the cancerous affection of the in- testines, from which MT. Pingree suffered, left. practically no hope for the patients recovery.
 Towards the end of his illness MT. Pin gree suffered great pain, and weakened rapidly. He was unable to retain nourish- ment. His mind, however, remained fair ly clear.

His efforts resulted in the passing of a law along these lines by the last Legislature.

the evidence WAS SO strong against
Greenwood that he was Immediately
committed to jail, with the privilege of
getting ont on u 500 bond. Grccn-
wood, however, was uuahle to give

his arrest he was out on bond, having
before this time been arrested on tho

his last two arrests had served two
years for making counterfeit money,

Policeman Franklin has in his pos
session five of the counterfeit 25 cent
pieces made by Greenwood. They are
well made and except by an expert

Greenwood has a countcrfciting outfit
somewhere around and every effort
will be made to capture it.
This being the third time he has
been arrested on the charge of making
counterfeit money, it is probable that
il he is convicted this time it will go
hard with him. lie will be tried at
