To demand that better protection be
given by the police to women.
Mayor Dunno who returned during
the day from Denver joined in the APP
peal saying that the city needed more
policemen. He declared it to he the du-
ty of the council to provide that means
for putting large enough force of
policemen out to cover the city
thoroughly.
This also ives demanded by the First
Methodist church. Plans for a mass
meeting to compass this end were made
by others.
Sorrow and anger mingled in the SER
vices at the Wesley Methodist church
of which Mrs. HOLSTER was Il member.
Members of the choir, in which she had
sung, could not sit in their seats before
the congregation but remained in the
pewS.
Richard G. Ivcns who stranglcd Mrs
Hollister Friday evening told two
stories of the disposal of the brown seal
muff which his victim had swung in
her hand when seen a few hours before
she disappeared.
He said he carried it away with him
under his coat and hid il. Later h. said
he threw it into garbage can The
police could not find the muff Out of
this there arose Il stronger feeling on
the part of some of the police that

AUGUSTUS. SAWYER MURDER.
CONTINUED from Page Onc.)

his death from the effects of a shot
from revolver III the hands of Il party
or parties unknown. \ reward of 5000
for the apprehension o. the murderer
was at once offered by the town of
Monmouth ana similar reward by the
Sawyer estate.
The cold-blooded murder which was
shroudcd i'll so much mystery WAS Civ
Ell creat prominence in the news
papcrs and was the chief topic of con-
versation in this section for some time.
There did not seem to be the slightest
clue to the murderer. Mr. Sawyer had
lived much the life of Il hermit and was
not a man Oh Social instincts, although
he Mas on good terms with his fellow
townsmen, and naturally the belief
was that he had been murdered by
somebody, IroDably Il tramp, with rob-
berry as his object.
Two tranips, who had spent the
previous Fridas night in the lookup at
Monmouth and who were arrested in
Auburn Saturday evening. were strong
ly sllspectcd, but il was soon made evil
dent that he'd they been the guilty par
tics they could not have reached Au-
burn at III" time of the arrest. The
fear of tramps was much intensified i'll
the country towns. The matter
dragged Oh for weeks and months, one
clue after another being abandoned in
turn until December, 1895. when j. A.
and Edgar Thompson were arrested on
suspicion of being the guilty parties.
These Thompson brothers were resi-
dents of Monmouth, having lived for
two or three years on Il farm about two
miles from the Sawyer place. Tho case
against them was worked up mainly by
the Lewiston sun and, as the result
proved it rested upon a very slim
foundation. They We're arrested De-
cember. 1895. as stated above. Edgar be-
ing at his home in Monmouth at that
time. and his brother being in a lum-
Der camp where he was working as IL
cook. They were brought to Augusta
and placed in The l\ennehec Jail and
given a hearing before Judge Andrews
Of the municipal court, December "a.
Ii. NJ Heath. Esq, Of this city, was
counsel FOR Edgar l.. Thompson, and
Forrest Goodwin. ESD, of Skowhegan,
for J.. \. Thompson, County Attor-
ney Heselton conducted the ease for the
government. The hearing, which was
held in Mconian hall, aroused the live
licst interest ami there was Il large
crowd in attendance, Monmouth in par
ticular being largely represented. The
hearing continued for three days. The
defence was an alibi and it was so
well established that the county at
torncv himself made the motion that
they be discharged and not held for the
grand jury.
Others have been mentioned from
time to time as being under suspicion
of numbering the old man, but as the
years have passed by, the murder has
been pretty well forgotten except in the
immediate ilcighborhood, and has been
generally regarded as safely added to
the long list of Names unsolvcd and
unsolvable murder mysteries.

SHOWS in the west resulted in a re-
versal of sentiment in the speculative
wheat market and the Chicago May
price fell 1-2c to rs 3-4c. The mar
ket held up we'll in the arly dealings,
but the selling of traders who bought
Monday in expectation of rally fin

Notwithstanding Mondays Ameri-
can advances of about a cent, Liver

downward because supplies were fully
