Quite a bomb shell was thrown among the patrons of Hawleyville creamery, last week, as result of the testing of the milk. Some were noti- fled at once that their milk was not wanted any more. Many others were notified that if the could not produce any better than that tested they would not receive it. The manner and spirit exhibited by the Mutual Go. seems arbitrary and high handed. Most of the patrons are both ready and anxious to find another market for thelr milk, Many think the company has more milk than they can handle and are using this means to reduce the quantity. "The dealings with the company have been anything but satis- factory.' So writes a conservative HaWleyville farmer.

Blowed Himself Up With Dynamite
Cartridge.
Head Was Found on
Barn Roof.
Portions OF Body on Various
Parts Of Farm.

Lisbon, January 8.-The people of this
town today Thoughts for time they had
most mysterious murder mystery on
their hands, when 1t was reported that
the body OF H. II. Weber, a well-to-do
farmer, living in Lisbon, had been found
lying near an outbuilding, dissmbowelsd
and the head severed from the body, but
after an investigation IL was proved be-
yond doubt TO be one of the most peculiar
suicides that ever occurred In this vi.
cinity. Evidently the man had gone to
the barn yard during the night and az
ter placing dynamite cartridge beneath
his body exploded 10.
About o'clock this morning Bert
Douglass, the hired man, went to the
barn to do the morning work. As he
was about to enter the barn he saw q
portion OF human leg lying on the
ground and upon investigation other
pieces were found. On the root of the
barn he saw what he recognized to be
the trunk and head of his employer.
The man at once notified Mrs. Weber
and then the town authorities, who in
turn reported this matter 20 the coroner
at Lewiston. Coroner Sampson with
City Marshal Odlin of Lewiston, came
TO this place at once and thorough in
vestigation into the cause OF the mans
death was begun. In the meantime a
report had been circulated that MIR. Web
Der had been murdered, dscapitated and
disemnoweIed, and 10 was well known
that he frequently carried large sums of
money with him the report was pretty
generally believed. Thess Tumors were
quickly put al rest, however, when the
officers in examining the dead mans
clothing came upon several notes, one OF
which was addressed to his wife, stating
that he had intendd to take his life by
"bIowing himself up with dynamite, I"
making suggestions az to the disposition
OF the property and advising her to live
as comfortably as nossible.
1t ia considered most remarkable
thing that none OF tine inmates OF the
house were aroused BY the sound which
must have followed the explosion Of the
dynamite cartridge. as the barnyard
which the man chose for his act 10 locat-
ed only few feet from the house. They
say, however, that they heard nothing,
and that the first they knew Of the affair
was when Douglass found the CHASTITY
remains at q O'Clock.
Mrs Wsbber said today that her hus-
band had bean acting strangely for some
tine, but the thought never occurred
to her that he might wish 10 take his
own life.

him, while the followers of Aldermen
Seaman and Jordan think their faith

ell for two years. entitle them to promo
ton. Among many OF the older Demo-
Gratis there Is a widespread feeling, how
ever, that the occasion requires the NOM
ination for mayor of such q man, for in
stance, as Nathan Dyer OF the South
Portland district, whose sterling nusi-
NESS qualities and long acquaintance

tirety unite to make him an ideal candi-
date. should Mr.. Dyer permit the use
of his name, doubtless, there would rally
TO his support sufficient number of the
more thoughtful Democrats to insure
his nomination. Tnis at least was the
opinion expressed yesterday by a we'll
known and quite prominent Democrat.
