Waterville, Me-, April 2


Mayors Office.
Waterville, Me-, April 30, 1902
Mr.. Samuel c. Manley, Pres. Maine
Water Company.
Dear Sir:-There was a young man
by the name of Bert Fogg, drowned in
the Massachusetts stream just above
where your company takes their water
supply for the city. / was out of town
Il the time, but am told there was
quite an amount of complaint made
lbout having the body remain in the
water. One of our most prominent
citizens just told me that he heard
more than fifty people say they would
not use the water unless the body was
recovered.
The city marshal procured grapples.
raKes and other things. and did what
he could but more than "a hours
passed in this way without result. The
marshal then sent for diver and the
body was found.
The whole bill amounts to 1892
which l think the Water Company
should pay as the work was done
wholly for the benefit of its patrons.
L understand the mans relatives are
unable to pay, and can do nothing
about it. Marshal Harrington had a
talk with Mr.. Hall, the superintendent
# your company here and he told him
hat he thought the company would do
what was right in the matter.
/ present this matter for your con-
sideration. and await your reply, be-
lieving you will do what would have
appeared right to you-at the time.
Yours truly,
Martin Blaisdell, Mayor
May /, 1902.
Hon. Martin Blaisdell, Mayor, City of
Watervile, Maine.
Dear Sir:-I have your letter of Goth
April, stating the particulars of the
-ecovery of the body Of Albert Fogg
who was recently drowned in the
Messalonskee.
AS you state that your city incurred
an expense of s93.25 and, in explanation
therefor. that it was wholly for the
benefit Of our patrons, I herewith en-
close our company's cheque for that
amount Very respectfully,

CAPTAIN ROBBERS.
Posses on the Trail Of Two Murder
Gus Gangs.
ANOTHER KILLING REPORTED.

Information has just been received
at Ell Paso of the killing of another
man in the Captain, N. NJ, vicinity by
the now famous Jack Musgrove gang
of all-around robbers and cutthroats,
says a correspondent writing to the
Denver News. The actual locality OF
this latest killing, as well as the name
and occupation of the victim, cannot at
this writing be ascertained, the i'm
preston, however, being that the man
was put out of the way to prevent his
bearing witness against the bandits
themselves.
This makes seven men slaughtered
in practically cold blood by these Capt.
tan corpse makers within the last two
months.
1t should be said here that these
Captain bandits are an entirely differ
ent organization from that of the
Mesa Hawks" whose evil fame has
also flown wide. The Captain robbers,
numbering about one dozen riders, are
led by Jack Musgrove, said to be a
former Arizona cowboy, while the
Hawks, comprising twenty-five or
thirty men, are under the leadership of
Hank Hawkins, half-breed Cherokee
from the Indian nation.
Il lie TWO DdfluS are Wiuciy ocpdideSu
in locality, the Musgrove gang operat-
ing in the region south and west OF
the Pecos river, while the Hawks cover
the region northeast from the Pecos
to the Canadian. Musgrove and his
followers are killers while the
Hawks have not as yet taken human
life, though three of their own number
have died the death of range thieves
while resisting arrest
The Hawks are now pursued by a
large posse of citizens starting from
Tucumcari and headed by a deputy
sheriff of Guadalupe county. while a
united band of pursuers led by peace
officers Of Union, Chaves and Lincoln
counties is now in response to direct
instructions from Governor Otero
about to enter on campaign to the
death" against the Musgrove gang.
Tho line of pursuit OF the Hawks
leads to the southwest, while the trail
of the Musgrove bandits runs to the
northeast and thus it may happen that
the two robber gangs may join each
other somewhere in the Pecos river
country for the final fight with the pur-
suing posses.

WANT A GOVERNMENT.
People Of Indian Territory Want Terri
toriaI Form of Government.

Washington, Feb. 19.-When consid-
Grafton of the Indian appropriation bill
was resumed in the house, Little, of
Arkansas, ranking minority member of
the committee, addressed himself to
the conditions in the Indian Territory.
The anomalous situation exists there
where 397 900 white men had no voice
in the government, and he said that
they demanded action by congress. He
contended that a territorial form OF
government should be set up there.
He reviewed the recent great devel-
opment of various branches of indus
try in the territory. With $50 towns and
cities and wealth amounting to $780,
600 600, he SAL there were 80 900 white
children of school age, but no schools.
Such a condition of affairs, he de-
clared was an outrage. He believed
that territory was ready for statehood,
but congress should grant at least
some liberal form of territorial govern
ment.
Bromwell, of Ohio, got the floor, to
comment upon the recent speech of
Wheeler, of Kentucky. Bromwell read
numerous poems, the burden of which
was that Wheeler would regret his
speech when the Germans of Kentucky
went to the polls.
Corliss, of Michigan, delivered the
second installment of his speech in
favor of building a government cable
to the Philippines. He argued against
any consideration of the Commercial
Cable company's offer to build a cable
from San Francisco to Manila, de
nouncing the corporation as the ally
of the Eastern Extension Cable com.
pany. the most extensive and powerful
cable and telegraph monopoly in the
world. The purpose OF its union with
the Commercial Pacific Gable company
is TO encircle the globe and extend its
influence and the advantage of its
present monopoly in the Pacific ocean
and far east.
Hamilton. of Michigan, in general
speech. discussed the trusts. He ar
gued that combinations were inevita-
bic: existed everywhere in Europe, and
only combinations here could meet
them. Commerce had resolved Itself
into a race of giants. He was very
sarcastic in reference TO the demo
cratic party. When he concluded he
received an ovation.
Vandiver, of Missouri, who followed
