The Bangor Commercial, last night,
said.
Charles r. Gould of so Maple street,
was burned to death at Ingalls, Siding,
on the Bangor & Aroostook railroad,
early Friday morning, in fire which
completely destroyed one of the sport
ing camps of his brother, George w.
Gould of Brewer. A man named Fow-
Ter and a boy named Witham, both of
Brewer, barely escaped with their
lives; as it was they received burns
which are regarded as serious.
The party at the Gould camps con-
sisted of Mr.. and Mrs. George W.
Gould, Charles r. Gould and Witham
and Fowler. The three last named
occupied what is known as the old
camp, while Mr.. and Mrs. Gould were
in a new building a short distance
away.
George W. Gould conducts several
sporting camps in that vicinity and has
been at Ingalls, Siding for several
weeks, with Witham and Fowler,
erecting a new building. Charles r.
Gould had been there for only a few
days, having gone up from Bangor for
brief outing
The theory is that a spark flew out
from the stove, igniting the camp.
Witham and Fowler managed to escape
but it is presumed that Mr. Gould
overcome by the smoke, was unable to
find his way to the door. Fowler and
Witham, who are badly burned, were
taken to MillinOcket on Il. & A.
freight train Immediately after the
tragedy. Witham was brought down
to his home in Brewer on Friday after
noon Fowler is so severely injured
that it was deemed unwise to move
him.
Charles r. Gould has for many
years been prominent in Bangor bust
ness circles. Within recent years he
has been engaged in the manufacture
of canoes. He was widely known and
had an unusually large circle of friends,
all of whom We're greatly shocked by
his tragic death.
He leaves besides his brother three
sisters, Mrs. Charles w. Witham of
this city; Mrs. Hayward of Boston;
and Mrs. Cobb of Milford, Me.
His wife, sister of Pres. F. w. Cram
of the b. e A. railroad, died several
months ago.

CONINES ON TRIAL.
Officers Found Goods and iiIdes and
Have Strong Case.
IGreat Falls Tribune


Wednesday in the district court of
Choteau county will begin a most in
teresting case which is attracting at
tention in all parts of northern Mon
tana. II is that of the state against
the Conine brothers, ranchers, living
on the Missouri river at the junction
OF the Judith.
Some months ago they were arrested
charged with burglary and cattle steal
ing and now another charge has been
brought against them for attempting
to break jail at Fort Benton few weeks
ago. On this latter charge they will
be tried first and Attorney w. G.
Downing left for there yesterday to
assist in the prosecution. as repre-
sentative of the stock association.
The Conine brothers have lived on
their ranch on the Missouri river for
several years. Lately they have been
suspected OF cattle stealing, but no
evidence was forthcoming to warrant
their arrest. Some months ago a
storehouse on the Choteau side of the
river, belonging to storekeeper on
the Fergus county size, was broken
open and a quantity of stuff taken.
The theft was reported to the Off
GERS of both counties and Lney began
to work on the case. After time they
were successful in locating the cache
of the goods, sunken in the Missouri
river opposite the Conine brothers
place. This, with other evidence, was
considered sufficient to convict them
and they were arrested.
While searching for the goods stol-
en- the officers ran across a number OF
mutilated hides of cattle sunken in the
river and weighted down with stones,
also opposite the Conine ranch. Then
an additional charge was placed
against the brothers and they have
since been in the county jail awaiting
trial.
Two weeks ago. it is alleged, they
made an attempt to get out of the jail
and escape. They were retaken and
now have to face the additional
charge.
The stock association has taken an
interest in the case. One of the hides
recovered from the river Is alleged to
have born the brand of Mcnamara.
The others were too far decayed to
be identified
The brothers deny their guilt and
enter a plea of not guity. If 1t
should be that the charge of attempt
ing to break Jail does not stick then
they will be arraigned at the present
term of the Choteau district court on
the other two charges.
Fergus County argus., 1902-07-18

Seattle, July 16.-The only interest
in the Tracy hunt today lies in the
mysterious disappearance of Sheriff
Cudihee, who severed connection with
his officers and the outside world in
general yesterday, when he vanished
from the vicinity of Covington.
The only developments today are
the finding. near Ravensdale, of some
bloody bandages, near the ashes OF a
freshly built fire, supposedly used by
Tracy. Railway men report having
seen a mysterious armed man hiding
behind trees in that section.
Tacoma, Wash. July 16.-The in
quest over the body of Merrill. the
dead convict, has developed the Iact
that he had served terms in the Mon
tana penitentiary at Deer Lodge. one
term under the name OF McTague and
the other under the name of Carroll.
Information is needed from Deer
Lodge as to four false teeth Merrill
wore, which the Oregon penitentiary
officials failed to discover when ex-
amining him.
Convicts at oalem have since told
the warden there that Merrill had
false teeth and this fact was telegraph
ed to the coroner at Chehalis this
morning.
Fergus County argus., 1902-07-18

Tacoma, Wash, July ia special
dispatcn to the Evening News says:
Superintendent Westendorff, of the
state reform school. and Dan w. Bush
Of Chehalis have returned and confirm
the story of the finding of the body of
the escaped convict, Dave Merrill, vino
was killed by his pal, Harry Tracey.
The body is undoubtedly that of Mer-
rill, who was killed at o'clock Satur.
day morning, June 2S.
The body was found by Mrs. Mary
Wagner and her 12-year-old son Of
Napavine, yesterday afternoon, who
will claim the reward of $3.50.
While picking berries they discovered
the corpse thrown over log and JAM
med between two tree stumps, a few
feet off the main road. The sheriff
guarded the corpse last night and this
afternoon the coroner is bringing 1t In.
A bullet hole is plainly seen in the
back and also one in the wrist. An
other is believed to De in the neck.
Three 5000 Winchester shells were
founr. one beside a cedar tree at the
roadside and two about ten feet from
the corpse.
The indications are that Tracey
fired the first shot from behind the
tree and then completed the assassi-
nation of his dying pal and brother-in-
law.
The sheriff will permit no one to
touch the corpse until the arrival of
the coroner. Tracy first told the story
that he had killed Merrill the day that
he rode in captured launch to Seat
tie, July 2.
