ADIRONDACK CRIME
SHROUDED IN MYSTERY
Mr.. Dexter's Body Arrives
in New York.
WooDSMEN ARE SUSPECTED
Authorities of Santa Clara Feared
Rockefeller Would Be the
First Victim.

John P Badger. MIR. Dexter's attorney.
the body of Orlando p. Dexter. the New
York millionaire who was assassinated
near his summer home in the Adiron-
dacks. at Santa Clara, n. Y. arrived in
this city today. In an interview Mr..
Badger said:
Mr.. Dexter was deliberately murder
ed. His assassin planned the crime
skillfully and has so far carefully COW
eed his tracks. but there are some clues
which I hope will put us on the right
track. Henry Dexter has offered re-
ward of $1,000 for the conviction Of his
sons assassin. and 1 have no doubt I'm
limited sums viii be spent 70 run This
cowardly murderer to earth.
1.-THE motive for the crime was re-
venge for some real or fancied wrongs
suffered by somebody. Mr.. Dexter had
warfare against game poachers. timber
cutters, and trespassers. He had mucf
litigation and many OF the woodsmer
felt bitter against him. Some % these
men had made threats against Mr. Dex-
ter's life and naturally they are under
suspicion"
A dispatch from Santa Clara today
says that the county authorities have
long been anticipating such a crime al
the assassination OF Mr.. Dexter Tn,
surprising statement is made that vii
liam Rockefeller and not Mr.. Dexter
was the man the authorities feare,
would be the first victim of the Adiron
dack woodsmen.

Fatal Wreck Near Camden.

The Southbound train on the
Southern had n disastrous wreck
at switch eight miles this side
Of Camden last Sunday. 1t is
thought the trucks under the bag
gage car jumped the track at the
switch and shot the cars into the
side track against freight car
which was standing on it, the en-
gine keeping the track on the main
line. A white tramp, name un>
known, asleep on the side track,
was nearly cut IN two and iLstant>
ly killed. The baggage and mail
car and second class coach were
badly torn up.
Jim Reed, colored brick ma
son, son-in- law of Dolph Robin
son of this place, was the only
passenger badly hurt. He had
one leg broken and was badly
bruised up.
Mrs. E. G. Taylor and her
brother, Mr.. Lewis Clyburn, were
among the passengers but they
escaped with slight injuries. Mr..
Will Cioyd, of this place, was al
so a passenger but he was un-
hurt.
The wreck has been cleared and
trains are again running through,
not on schedule time, however,
but as near on time as they have
been run since the road passed in
TO the hands of the Southern.
