BULLET
Docs Not Fit the
Revolver
Found Beside Robert
Reminston's Body.
Rumors Rife That lie Was
Murdered.

Williamsport Pa. Aug 22.-Rumors
became current last night that proof
had been found during the autopsy
on the body of Robert Remington that
caused the belief that he had been
murdered. 1t was said that the bullet
taken from the dead mans brain did
not fit any Of the chambers of the
revolver found by his side when his
body was discovered in the Newport
club house.
AS Edward Remington. and his law
yer, s. Il. Mccormick, Esq, and the
three surgeons who performed the
autopsy were in consultation in Mr..
McCormick's Office last evening, 1t was
necessary to wait until the meeting
ended before the interested parties
could be interviewed. When asked
for latest developments in the case,
lawyer Mccormick, after saying that
he had been so instructed by Edward
Remington, hade the following state
ment:
"A post mortem was held today on
the body Of Robert Remington, by
Drs. Mutt Mccormick and Weddigen,
for the purpose Of determining the
cause of death. The result showed
that death was caused by gun-shot
wound or pistol shot, and the bullet
penetrated the brain. There were
two other gun-shot wounds, one on the
side and one In front, neither OF
which was sufficient to cause death. >
Here Mr.. Mccormick stopped
abruptly, and when asked If that was

DOUBLED.
Foreign Trade Of
Local Concern
Has Been Increasing
Continually.

"The foreign business of Sultrnan,
Miller & Co. has been doubling itself
every year." remarked DR.. Josiah Hart
zell, member of the company, Fri
day. "Of course he added, I'VE may
not be able to keep up such showings,
as we are getting the foreign field
pretty well covered, but indications
are that there will be an exceptionally
good trade next year
1t is conseryatively estimated that
the company shipped 10000 harvest
ing machines-mowers, reapers bind
ers and rakes-into its foreign field
during the past year. The greatest de-
mand was in Germany, with Russia
close second; many machines Were
sold in France and in South America.
Shipments were also made to Italy,
North and South Africa, Cuba and
Australia.
The home trade has also been excep-
tionally good with the company. II
must be remembered that all of this
great amount of machinery is manu-
featured In Akron, too.
