Gated in the disappearance of Alice
Donnely. the 16-year-old daughter of
James Donnelly Of this place. While
the local police are in possession OF
evidence which may indicate that the

evening, and that later was seen in the
carriage unconscious If not dead ana
the men We're trying to revive her.

lice been able to get further evidence
in the case. 1t has been learned, now
ever. that Fenton. on Saturday, drew
his pay at the cranberry bog. where
he had been working and then dis
appeared again.
The police have learned that young
woman answering the description OF
Miss Donnelly was seen in Boston ana
this has encouraged them in the De

IS 1T MURDER !?
John McElwee, Surveyor and
Explorer, Found Dead.
Skull Fractured, Money Missing ard
. Evidence Of Foul Play.
Coroner Boyd and County Attorney
Shaw Investigating.

Smyrna Mills. Me-. Oct. a0-The
body of John McElwee, a timber land
surveyor and explorer, known
throughout ArOostook county, was
found, Friday. near Umculcus lake by
Andrew Byron, a guide. A sum OF
money which he was known to have
possessed when he left Moro, July s.
was missing. his skull was fractured
and there was evidence that murder
had been done. The body was identi-
fled by key ring on which his name
was inscribed.
Coroner Robert Boyd of Linneus,
who is also a physician, with Deputy
Sheriff Alden Gerry, Saturday, viewed
the body and decided that there was
good cause for an investigation. which
is now being conducted with the as
sstance of County Attorney Shaw of
Houlton. DR.. Boyd found that the skull
was fractured and in his opinion this
was the cause of death. The fracture
might have been caused either by a
blow or a rifle shot. The body was
removed to this town. where an in
quest will be held. Wednesday fore
noon.
The officers say that McElwee was
a man of some money, with fine char
acter and standing. His friends claim
that some time ago he had trouble with
a man whose whereabouts at the time
of McElwee's disappearance are being
investigated by the officers. A cheap
watch, a ring and revolver were
found on him. An ave. evidently the
property of McElwee, was laying near
by.
McElwee, whose home is at Presque
Isle was boarding at Moro for week OF
two previous to July 3, while scaling tim
hcrland for\ the International Paper Co.
He was given a lunch for n days trip
through the forest to Haybrook farm. ~
miles north of Patten. and he had not
been seen up to the finding of the dead
body. The lunch was still in the KNAPP
sack and this makes it certain that he
was murdered the same day he left Mo
70 township.
The body was found four miles from
the sporting camp Of Fred Stinson and
about five miles south of Lake Umculcus
in Aroostoolk county. near the Penobscot
county line. This is in Township :, Range
D. and was about seven miles on his jour
ney from Moro.
McElwee was 60 years old and unmar-
RED He has worked in the woods of
northern Maine for 90 years and was
known by every lumberman for miles
around. He had done much scaling and
exploring for Congressman Lfewellyn
Powers and lately had been engaged cX-
clusively by the International Paper Co.
No suspicion was aroused by his disap-
pearance. as he frequently was gone for
weeks on his explorations and work.

Thousands of men and women who
