POSSIBLY FOUL CRIME.
Skeleton Found at Cedaredge Ex'
plains Twelve Year
Mystery.

On last Monday skeleton of
man was found partially buried
on Geyser creek. The body had
evidently been placed between
two large stones and smaller ones
piled over it. The leg bones were
badly splintered and it is thought
they were so broken by throwing
the stones on the dead body.
Physicians declare that they were
broken before the flesh had de-
cayed.
Over twelve years ago one VIM.
Alexander disappeared and was
never heard of again. Suspicion
was at that time directed toward
some parties and it was hinted
that they had hand in his dis
appearance. A popularity of MIR.
Alexander was that he had double
teeth all round, and the skeleton
now uncovered possesses this re-
markaple characteristic. BY this
and other means people here de-
clare that the remains are those
of Mr.. Alexander.
Sheriff Gibbs has been working
on the case since Monday and it is
expected that arrests will follow
in short time as the officer
thinks there is no doubt as to the
identity of the skelton, and he
believes the parties who caused
his death are still within reach of
the arm of the law.

Chicago Record Herald.
Last year there were 1877 homicides
IN Chicago, Of which the coroner re-
ported 8 justitiable. That left 1853 muir
ders with which the law should have
dealt. OF course, the punishment did
not begin to be adequate for the
crimes.
This year we shall probably have
more murders than last.
Such is the sequence year by year.
we accept our $50 murders a year
for 1000, 900 population as though it
was part of the natural order Of
things I'll
& Only when we compare our record
with conditions in other countries do
we begin to comprehend the extent
of. our barbarism.
All Germany, with more than 25
times the population of Chicago, has
only go per cent. more murders Eng
land and Wales with 16 times the
population, have only double the muir
ders France, with almost 20 times
the population, has only three and
third times as many murders. Bel
gium, with thee times the population,
has less than two-thtrds as many MUIR
ders. Canada, with two and a half
times the population, has only one
tenth as many murders.
Andrew d. White. who has studied
the subject for years says that with.
the exception possibly Of lower Italy
and Sicily, the United States leads
the world '.in murders, and especially
in unpublished MURDERS
stern justice is the only safeguard
the world has vet discovered against
such crimes. This truth stands. in
tie face Of anything that theorists
may say.
Our murder statistics point intallt5
bly, to the laxity OF the courts as the
seat OF the evil and the point at which
the application Of the remedy must
begin. N

In reading the paper that is great |
notice occasional letters from Carl,,s,
Midlothian, New Shaft and other towns
in the vicinity of Frostburg, and as we
only hear from Eckhart through the
inimitable "Philosophcr," | have deter
mined to write you of few Interesting
things now holding the stage of action
here.
Since the Consolidation Coal COMPANY

the town has enjoyed the biggest build
ing boom it has had for years.
Fred. Mitchell has Just completed and
moved into II very handsome and COM

Charles Leatham, of Frostburg, is
building four Groom houses for rent on
his property near the Piedmont and
Georges Creek mine, No. .
Thomas Wilson and John Kidwell
have also built new homes, and William
b. Lee has made broom addition to
his home.
The congregation of the NJ. f. Church
have plans ON foot to build large and
modern church editice on the front of
their lot.
Several parties have bought and leased
lots and Will build this fall.
Last but not least, the ,Jr. O. L. \.
NJ. have leased Il lot from the Consoli-
datiou Coal Company, along the Nation
al Pike, adjoining the home of John
Bannatyne, near the centre of town, and
commenced to dig for the foundation
of large 2-stOry hall. This building
will be 2SX60 feet, with ceilings 10 and
II feet high. The first floor will be di-
vided into a reading and game room
and large, up-to-date gymnasium. 1t

can be made one for entertainments,
fairs. etc. The upper floor will be
equipped for ii lodge,room. In the large
basement will be il steam heating plant,
shower baths, etc. The contract has

The Juniors are well pleased with the
generous response being given to their
first appeal for outside assistance, and
they hope to become able to amply repay

Call to OiiiCial Duty.

FE"srErR", Nh, August Is, 1916.
To the MINING Journal,
The JOURNAL suggestion short time
ago of the daily employment of man
aud dray to keep the streets clean, and
letter of "West End last week, i'll which
attention was called to the filthy con-
dltlon of the streets of the town, were
both timely and necessary.
Aside from the dangers of developing
disease, the appearance of the filth on
the streets in places looks like the dis
gorge from seWer-pipe.
This should not be the condition of
respectable highways i'll town claim
ing to be respectable. and every officer
of the town is each and alike responsible
for the neglect which we see on every
hand.
If the Street committee does not see
the unslghtly condition of the streets,
then the other officers should point out
to this committee the shameful spectacle
of an incorporated town with spread
like the yard of a plg-pen.
Where is the Board of Health Why
should not this body see to it that more
attention is paid to cleaning the streets ::

\ young man named William Dunn
walked out Broadway Monday after
noon apparently intent upon clicking
somebody. At Steyer street he accosted
and struck at peaceablc passer-by.
Then Dennis Jones, colored hove into
view and after several pugilistic passes,
the last a clip on Dennis upper chin,
they clmched and Dennis went under.
All this time, too, Dennis didn't know
what the fight was about. IF | had, -
said Dennis, land hadn't been sick
several days, I'd amade a cinch out of
the load he was totin'." Policeman
Bone came along and persuaded Dunn
that it was risky, if not impolite to hit
an officer, and at Squire Weimer's
office the court informed him that the
fare to liberty station was several dol
lars and 'Steen cents. Dunn paid and
finally subsidized.
