Witness of the Tragedy.
1t is generally believed that some
one else was there. either when the
burning occurred, or just after; but
as TO who this was is a mystery that
may never be cleared up. One gentle
man who was there not long after and
examined the bodies and premises
carefully, advance the theory that a
stranger may have been passing along
the road and, seeing the fire. went in
10 help them, but finding them both
already burned to death, put out the
nre, replaced the water in the bucket
ana then went away, afraid to men,
ton it lest he should be suspected of
having perpetrated the deed. There are
others, however, who hold that if there
was third person, there were darker
motives that prompted his presence.
Every effort will be made to throw
more light upon the tragedy, though
at present there seems to be no solu-
ton.

against him by Towner lawyer, Butler
Lamb. Cowell stated in a recent issue
of the Statesman that Lamb held a seat
in the county convention through fraud,
pure and unadulterated. This, Lamb
claims is false and as he has been an
aspirant for office, he thinks he has been
damaged to the tune of $1,000. Cowell
retracted the article in an issue soon
after, but it seems that the law requires
an editor to also make an explanation in
the editorial department of the paper.
