The above is the verdict of the cor
killing of Tom Myers by A. d. Rhon-
linus, which occurred on the head of
Mckay creek yesterday afternoon.
From the tenor of the verdict It is
plain that the jurors wished to fas-
ten the crime of murder upon Rhoni-
mus. That their action was biased is
iutimated by District Attorney Phelps,
though that official filed an indict-
ment In the Justices court THIS after
noon, charging the old man with mur-

1t was noon today before the party
composed of Coroner Folsom and
others returned from the mountains
near Meacham, after having investi-
gated the killing. The body of My
ers was brought to the city by them.
while Rhonimus was left at his home
under the care of Deputy Sheriff Joe
Blakeley. The old man was shot in
the thigh by Myers and shortly after
noon today DR.. ID. ]. McFaul left for
the scene to care for his wound.
II was midnight before the coro-
ner's party reached the Roach place
last night, ana their route was through
snow six inches deep in the noun
tains.
At the inquest held over the remains
of Myers the only witness examined
was Jesse Roberts, a companion Of
Myers and aside from Rhonimus, the
only living witness to the fight. He is
n lad OF about Is years, ana gave Spo-
kane as his home
According to the story told by Rob-
erts he and Myers were together yes
terday afternoon when they met
Rhonimus. At that time the old man
was unarmed. After greeting each
other. Rhouimus said:
where are you going?"
II am gong up to see about some
cattle replied Myers.
Cause of TroubIc.
In answer IL an inquiry from Rhon-
linus he suiU they were branded il
and he was asked fy Rhonimus If he
had seen any marked II. T. To this
Nuars answered no. Continuing the
argument Rhorimus asked Myers if
he had been in the mountains with
Price Todd and Joseph Roach during
a horse roundup. Myers said he had
not been there, but Rhonimus declar-
ed he had been and had helped steal
a sorreS filly of his. Myers declared
his inrScence.
"What makes You tell me that
shouted Rhonimus. Because you are
a liar" answered Myers.
The witness then said that Rhoni-
mus had said: "I'll fix you when
get you where l want YOU"
About two hours later Roberts and
Myers were riding when they saw
Rhonimus coming toward them with
a gun. They then turned aside hop.
ing to throw Rhonimus off their
track, but were soon confronted by the
Old man.

TRAFFIC INTERRUPTED.
Subway Track in Boston Blocked by
Collision Of Trains.

Boston. Aug. Traffic on the north
bound track of the subway system of
the Boston Elevated Railway Co. was
blocked for sometime today by col
lision between two trains which were
empty except for their crews. The
accident happened just north of the
Haymarket square station of the sub
way and was caused by one train back
ing down the incline leading to the
North station.
Both trains had met previously with
accidents to their motors and had dis
embarked their passengers at Adams
square. Going up the incline to the
North station the motor of the forward
train weakened and the cars slid down
the track into the second train. which
had just hit the incline.
The rear veStibule of the last car of
the forward train was splintered by
the shock but fortunately only the left
hand corner of the forward vestibule
of the rear train was crushed. leaving
the motorman's box on the right hand
side intact. One of the guards was
thrown to the floor by the impact of
the collision and was stunned. He was
taken to the Relief hospital, where it
was found that he had sustained no
injuries beyond a nervous shock. He
refused to give his name.

New Bedford. Mass. Aug. THE eff
fort of the special committee of the
Central Labor Union to bring about
a settlement of the trolleymen's strike
failed today, when the Carmen's Union
voted to decline the proposition made
by Pres. Henry II. Grape of the Troll
Icy Co. to the committee.
President Grape offered to take
back all the men for whom he had
places, probably about so at present
such men not to lose their rating as
to years Of service to affect their
wages, but otherwise to come back as
new men, and to rank below those men
now in the employ of the Street Rail-
way Co."
This is regarded as probably a final
effort to bring the company and the
strikers to an agreement. After the
meeting of the Garments Union. IA
strikers were rc-employed by the COM
pany. according to company officials
and IS turned in their badges and 9TH
er property of the company.

New Hampshire Farmers
Having Hard Time.
Storms interfere With CuItiva-
ton Of Much Of the Land.


Concord, ". H., Aug. Farmers
throuEhout New Hampshire will suffer
considerable financial loss as a result
Of the large amount of rain which has
fallen this year. Those having farms
on lowlands are most seriously affect
ec. their land being SO wet that 1t has
been impossible to raise anything but
has on some parts Of 1t, and even that
crop in many instances is light. The
experience Of one man who owns a
larxe farm in central New Hampshire
il typical. This man last year raised
about 900 bushels of potatoes on lev
Ell patch of land; this year the soil was
rendered so sodden by the continued
rains that 1t was impossible to culti-
yate II, and it was sown to grass.
which grew poorly.
In addition to the losses thus sus-
tained, the rain caused such continual
suspensions of haying operations dur
ing July that a large amount of hay
had to be put into the barns improp-
erly cured, thus detractinS consider
ably from Its value, while much was 50
badly damaged that it was left to rot
in the fields Some Of the meadows in
The vicinity Of ponds or streams were
flooded early in the summer. and so
much water remained in them that the
grass could not be cut at all.
The treasures of all the towns in the
mountainous sections of the state Will
be considerably depleted by the neces-
sity for making repairs to highways,
which have been badly washed out on
all steep grades.
Another source of annoyance to the
farmers I'm many parts of New Hamp-
shire this year has been the increas-
ing holiness of the deer. The state
laws have afforded much protection to
these animals for years, with the re-
cult that their numbers have been
growing. In many places they have en-
tered gardens and eaten the tops Off
nearly all the vegetables. AS the sum-
mer months are a part of the close
season on deer throughout the state
and deer cannot be legally killed at any
time in the southern counties, the
farmers have been forced to resort to
many expedients to frighten the ami
mails away.
A still further loss to the farmers
will come through the small apple crop
IN many places. Last year was the
"off" year fer apples. and 1t was eX-
pected that they would yield abund-
antly this fall, but they failed to BIOS
som freely in some orchards. while in
others late frosts ruined the tender
young fruit.
