WAS THIS ONE
A MURDER?
Body of An Old Fisherman
Found in Ditch at Reno
Suggests Crime

In speculating on the latest sensation
ia Reno TIE Journal of yesterday
says:
Another probable murder follows on
he heels of the shooting of William
son by Heran. Yesterday morning the
oody of a man, who was most proba-
ply the victim of foul play, was
found by some children who were
playing on the north bank of the river

lis hat and several dimes were found
beside him, but his valuable watch
nd god ring were missing.
He had a couple of bad gashes on
he head and one of his legs was
borken.
The theory of murder is strongly
supported by the facts and circum-
stances in the case, but the question
is, where did Johnson meet with the
death blow and how was his body
conveyed to the place where it was
found.
The officers, who have been work
int on the case, arrived first at the
-ouclusion that johnson was robbed
and murdered and thrown into the
riverside ditch, large and swift
stream that flows through the lower
part of town.

Trains Collide Head On

DES MONIES. Ia. July 14.-A head
on collision on the Great Western
near Savannah early today resulted
in the death of one person and the
1erious injury of several others.
Southbound passenger train No. 9
crashed into a freight train at full
speed.
A terrible smashup resulted. Fire
man Stewart of Des Moines was in
stantly killed, and Fireman Tom
Howard also of Des Moines, seriously
injured.
The names of the other victims
have not been obtained.
Brownfield and Stewart constituted
the engine crew of the passenger train.
Howard was on the freight train. Re-
pcrts late this afternoon are to the
effect that Engineer Brownfield will
~ecover. Howard's injuries are not as
bad as was first thought. William
Benson, the other member of the en-
CINE crew of the freight train, was
reriously cut and bruised.
Over twenty passengers were in
iured, some of them seriously, but all
will recover.
The wreck was due to an accident
which delayed the passenger train and
prevented it from reaching Schuster
where the two trains were to pass on

If imminent it is to take place

The Entertainment Course.

The Milburn Club entertainment
course came to triumphant close, last
evening, with the appearance of the
Boston Ladies Symphony Orchestra,
about 20 in number, under the direction
of Frank W. Mckee as conductor, and
assisted by George A. Taylor, tenor
soloist
The concert in its entirety was with.
out doubt the most enjoyable that has
been heard in Coburn Hall for many
years, giving complete satisfaction to
the large audience in attendance, the
only criticism, If any was forthcoming
being from the fact of its seeming brief
ness. The ladies all handsomely gown
ed in white gave to the stage of Coburn
Hall an attractive appearance that it has
not presented in years and the render
ing of the different numbers of the
concert program as well as the encores
that followed each was pleasing in the
extreme
The soloists, Mabel Beaman Mckee,
violin; Ida Reiter, trombone and Addie
E. Moore, piccola; as well as Mr.. Taylor,
the tenor, seemed all that were needed to
give the concert the finish such occasions
SO frequently lack all of whom grsciously

compliment to Mr.. j C. Bartlett, whom
Skowhegan feels some claim to, by rem

eral gentlemen, who guaranteed the
course, have the thanks of the season
ticket holders for a most enjoyable
series of entertainments, and while it ia
to be regretted that it WAS not quite
self-sustaining the gentlemen in charge
feel that the reputation they have gain
ed would afford them liberal patron

Patrolman O'Donshue. When the off j.
GERS made their appearance Albertg

dan. He soon lost him, however, and
after whistling for him several times
was forced TO return down town on ac-
count of an alarm of fire,
Jordan's body was soon found. He
was shot through the head The evi-
dence against Alberts is very strong.
