Gans-Nelson Moving Pictures.

The Gans-N Nelson Fight Pictures will
be shown in this city matinee and even
ing, next Saturday, Dec. 1st. The first
twenty rounds show Cans completely
outfghting Nelson, but che battler Is
always coming for more. The last six
rounds are shown and although the men
are going much slower Nelson Is still the
aggressor. After the exhibition Joe
Humphrey, manager Of Terry McGovern
said these pictures show two things.
One is that Siler certainly saw the blow
that ended the fight, and The other Is
that the only way in which these men
can settle the supremacy between them
Il to fight another battle From the
picture the final blow looks as fair al
IL goes foul Nelson ii shown in a
clinch trying to land on the stomach,
and from my point Of view It does not
look as if he Intentionally fouls Cans,
il he fouled him at ALL People 10 To
see these pictures with the idea that
they are going to see Nelson all in,
hanging listlessly onto Cans and while
cndeavoring TO land foul They 10
away in doubt, for Nelson shows strong
To the last, ! don't deny that Nelson
fought FOUL but that Is Nelson's pc
culiar style. and he cannot help using
the rough tactics which he employs.

Harrison Corliss Not Held
For Tracey's Death
i'm NO. FAYSTON TRAGEDY
He and Joseph Tacey Were Let Out Of
County Jail This Afternoon, Fol
lowing Report Of Grand
Jury.

Harrison Corliss, arrested in connec-
tion with the fatal shooting Of Henry
Tracey in North Fayston several weeks
ago, and Joseph lacey, arrested for al
legged attempt to poison his sisterin
law in Berlin were this afternoon re-
leased from the Washington county jail,
where they had been held pending the
Investigation of their cases by the grand
jury The Investigations did not reveal
evidence sufficient To warrant holding
them for trial The grand jury reported,
shortly before noon today, two bills not
found and one Indictment. Although it
is not definitely known, 1t is thought
that the only other case considered was
that OF Daniel Royce, who was charged
with attempted rape on Alice Whitney,
an 11-years,old girl, who was residing
at his home in Mortified while she was
attending school.
The shooting Of Tracey was a remark
able case The victim left his boarding
place for drive one evening, and when
he did not return, a search was in
stituted, resulting in finding his dead
body beside the road not over three
miles from his place Of residence There
were great many bullet wounds ia his
body. Suspicion rested on Harrison Cor
liss. who was considered somewhat weak
mentally, and he was arrested. 1t is
understood that prior to being arrested
the boy as much as admitted to the
officers that he fred the fatal shot, but
that he did it under misapprehension,
believing that Tracey, who was rolling
and groaning beside the road, was wild
animal The autopsy showed that Trac-
ey had been drinking, and it is supposed
that while intoxicated he fell from his
team and lay beside the road, where he
was discovered BY the Corliss youth
The grand jury was dismissed this
noon, at the same time that Washington
county court adjourned just prior to
adjournment verdict was rendered In
the case Of Ellis vs. Kent TO recover
3795 cents damages and costs. The case
was replevin suit for the use Of pair
of horses.

sTRAyED BUT NOT STOLEN.
Horse Showed Good Sense in Seeking
Comfortable STALL

It was reported that Minot st. Clair
Francis, Maine's negro convict, was in
East Barre last night AT any rate a
horse disappeared, so the natural infer
cnee was that Francis had been there.
The horse was the property of William
n. Fraser, Barre cxpressman, who left
the animal while ne went into one Of
the local establishments. Fraser remain
ed quite a spell, and when he came out
to look for his team there was nothing
in sight. At once the suspicion Of horse
stealing was aroused, and as no trace
of the animal could be found, the sus-
picion became stronger. The beast, how
ever, had no intention OF being stolen,
and so wandered to the farm Of Warren
c. Nye, where he was given comfor-
table stall until this morning, when he
was turned over TO Fraser. East Barre
people arc resting easier since they have
been convinced that Francis is not in
their midst.

Molest Man Unless He
Tried To Escape And Then

on two weeks ago, has been captured at
Glenburn, ten miles distant. The au-
thorities were notified early this morn
ing that negro was seen to enter a
cottage on Glenburn road. The place
was surrounded by men, who dared not
molest the convict. The Bangor author
tiles telephoned them not to molest him
unless he tried to escaped, and four dep
uty sheriffs Immediately started to drive
to Glenburn. On account of the condi-
tion Of the roads they are not expected
to arrive before noon.
The last depreciation Of Francis was at
Prospect, on Monday night, when he
broke into the house Of Mrs. Angeline
Trevett, an aged widow.
Before he made his search OF the
house, during which neither the old
woman nor the hired man heard sound,
Francis ate ravenousIy of cold roast
pork, cold boiled potatoes and bread and
butter. Then he did up in bundle a
loaf Of bread, an apple pie, piece Of
butter, some ginger bread and lot Of
crackers and carried them away. The
only thing in the line OF food which he
neglected either TO devour or carry away
was a pan of sour milk, and he had
dipped into that before he discovered
that il was OF no use to him.
After he had eaten all he wanted and
had done up the remaining food. Fran
els searched all the house except the sleep
ing rooms, going even into the cellar.
The soft black felt hat which he also
got at Doucettes Francis discarded for
the heavy new winter cap OF the hired
man, and he also took two pairs of
gloves, an overcoat and an ulster. When
he left the house Francis threw the ui-
ster away in the barn yard.
From the house Francis went into the
barn, where he hitched the widows old
white mare to an old wagon, put some
blankets in and drove away.
