No Clue to Wyman's Assailant.

There is as yet absolutely no clue to
the identity of the person who shot
Ralph b. Wyman, the station agent, in
the Portland and Rumford Falls station
at Hartford, on the evening of Sunday,
March 26.
Young Wyman went to the home of
his parents in Belgrade the morning
after the shooting, aud Sheriff Mclntire
went to Belgrade the next day to inter-
view him, but learned nothing of value
in the search. Wyman is unable to give
any description whatever of the assail-
ant, who fired from the darkness of the
waiting room, Wyman Immediately be-
coming unconscious and remaining so
for several minutes. The bullet, which
was of 32-calibre and was afterwards
found in the binding of book, went
through the upper part of Wyman's
left arm, and slight DETECTION would
have sent it through his heart.
Wyman had been in the Hartford sta
ton about four weeks, having previous
ly worked for the Maine Central. He
does not know of an enemy who would
have any excuse for murderOus assault
on him. Apparently the object was
robbery, and the plumber obtained was
five dollars and a watch fob, the rail
road money being in Wyman's room at
his boarding place. That man whose
object is robbery of small sum at most
should be 80 reckless as to start out
with shot likely to result in murder,
is a feature of the case difficult to I'M
derstand,

Few people in Oxford County have
forgotten the attempt made during the
summer of 1897 to construct an electric
railroad from Norway to North Water
ford. All the preliminary work having
been completed, and the road bed nearly
graded, the Italians who had done the
grading struck for their pay and seized
some of the men in charge of the work,
attempting to hold them as hostages
until the money was produced, which
led to an exciting scene near Rice's
junction in Waterford, locally called the
italian War;" in which several Oxford
County officers exchanged shots with
the sons of Sunny Italy and succeeded in
rescuing the imprisoned men. The en-
ragged troop of Italians who camped on
Waterford and Norway and were finally
shipped to Boston without pay, will not
soon be forgotten by the people of this
section.
1t was amply demonstrated at that
time that the people of Norway, Water.
ford and Stoneham wanted this road
built and were willing to make sacrifices
to bring it about. They were bitterly
disappointed at the result, but have
never given up the hope of seeing the
road an accomplished fact, and now that
hope seems about to be realized.
Last year, Mr.. Henry F. Royce OF
Willimantic, Conn.,, who was the largest
stock holder under the original incorpOr-
alton, took the necessary legal steps to
obtain possession of all right, title and
interest in the franchise, etc., of the OK
ford Central Electric Railroad, with a
view to getting matters into form so that
he or some one else could complete the
road.
Mr.. Royce has now given an option on
his rights to party of Boston capitalists
who propose to construct and operate
the road this summer, provided the land
owners along the line will givethe land
damage.
William G. Rand, Esq, of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, arrived at Beal's
Hotel, Norway, last week, where he will
make headquarters until the matter of
land damage is arranged, when, provided
a satisfactory arrangement can be made,
he expects to begin work on the road by
May first and complete and put it in
operation this coming summer.

Infants Body Found at Mexico.

The dead body of an infant was found
at Mexico, Monday evening. March 81,
lust at dusk, in the woods above Granite
Street. The discovery was made by
some children who were playing there.
The body was wrapped in cloths, and
the condition of the wrappings was
such that it is thought the body had
been there only a short time.
As there is no coroner in that vicinity
since the death of Fred A. Porter,
Coroner Albert p. Basset was summon
ed from Norway to hold an inquest.
Owing to the absence of certain parties
whose testimony was desired, the in
quest was adjourned until April 18th.

The winter time schedule is being
maintained with great regularity.
Superintendent Robinson came in
from Lombard last Tuesday
A crew is busy with steam shovel
widening the cuts and enlarging the
fills west and east of the summit. A
great deal of this work will be done
during the year.
The new station on the summit pre-
sents a lively appearance, the trains
meeting there for dinner. The hotel
has better facilities than the old one
at Dorsey and the meals set up are
fully as good.
The big locomotive purchased this
fall to help trains up the grade from
Lombard is now employed in neceS-
sary work on the summit. 1t will be
released in a Aew days and returned
to Lombard for any emergency that
may arise. One locomotive will be
kept on the summit to assist in either
direction.
The railroad company has done a
great deal of work during the past
summer and fall in the way of pro-
tectng its line from snow blockades
Two and even three rows OF snow
fences can be seen above the worst
cuts, while a winter or temporary
track has been constructed around the
long cut Just below TIBET. The road
is in good shape TO meet any Difficult
ties that NAV arise from snow. There
is not apt to be much trouble this
winter.

CHILD PASSES AWAY.
Barbara, Daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. F.
J. Hazen, Dies Thursday.


One of the saddest events of the
year was the death last Thursday
morning of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank J.
Hazen's little daughter, Barbara Es-
Their. The child was taken sick three
weeks before with bad cold and this
had run into pneumonia. This dis
ease finally resulted in severe attack
of whooping cough and the little girl
was very sick. For the last few days
before her death, however. she had
seemed better until the day before she
died, when she became a little worse,
but the parents were not seriously
alarmed.
Wednesday night Mr.. and Mrs. Ha-
zen were with their daughter most OF
the time, but toward morning she said
she was feeling better and would rath-
err they would not stay with her. They
were with her off and on till morn
ing, being with her very short time
before her death. She must have
passed away short time after MIS-.
Hazen was in the room. The direct
cause of the death was what is known
as capillary bronchitis.
Barbara Esther was born in Brook
lyn, Mass, eight years ago. she was
the Oldest child of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
]. Hazen. Barbara was an exception.
ally bright child and was greatly loved
by all who knew her. The many
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Hazen Will
sympathize with them in their great
sorrow.
The funeral services were held Fri
day afternoon from the house. the
Rev. H. G. Wakefield being in charge
Of the services. The interment was
in the Lewistown cemetery.
