JUSTICE APPERSON MURDERED.
Ield up at Primers Point, Assaulted
and Robbed.

]. c. Apperson. an aged Justice
Of the Peace of Mathews county,
vas murderously assaulted We'd
Hiesday night, April 10 by two
white highwaymen at Port Nor
folk and robbed of more than
Sitoa in cash together with his
watch and chain and a dress suit
case containing a quantity of
clothing.
The county police are securing
the entire district of Western
Branch in an effort to apprehend
he two men, but. up to this writ
ng no clue has been found which
will lead to their arrest.
Mr.. Apperson came from Math-
ews county last evening to visit
mis- son, who resides on Lee ave
lue, Port Norfolk. He disem-
parked from a trolley car at the
nearest point to his sons home.
md when within about one hun
ired yards of the house, on Lee
venue. he was dealt a terrific
blow from behind.
He fell to the earth tucon-
scious; vixen he,l as relieved Of
mis- valuables by the footpads.
About S:45 o'clock he was found
living in the road by a passerby,
who immediately called for as
sistance and the wounded man
was carried to his sons home,
where he received medical atten-
tron at the hands of DR.. r. l..
Corbell.
1t was at first thought that his
skull was fractured, but upon ex-
animation it was ascertained that
such was not the case. His right
IS ear terribly lacerated and a cash
is inflicted on the side OF his head.
The physician stated to-day that
he wounds will not result seri-
ously unless some complications
set in, which are not probable.
DR.. Corbell is of the opinion that
the man was sandbagged.
Mr.. Apperson. who is 70 years
old. landed in Portsmouth last
Wednesday at 8 O'Clock on the
Old Dominion steamer. He in
quired the way to his sons home
at Port Norfolk and was directed
to a car of the Port Norfolk and
Primers Point division OF the
traction company. Two strange
men. were. seen to leave the car
near the Port Norfolk, and it is
presumed that they are the men
who assaulted and robbed MIN.
The two answer the description
of the two highwavmen who
murderously assaulted another
manon the street in Port Norfolk
4 few weeks ago. 1t is the opin-
ION of the police that the two
men are professional highway
men.
The authorities seem to think
that the two men watch the in
coming steamers and trains for
Just such victims as Mr.. Apper-
son. In other words, men who
nave reached the age when they
are unable to protect themselves
rom their clutches.
Many think that the highway
men may be the same parties

A Day at Lakewood.

About 1875 persons participated in
the Mothers and Children's Outing
given at Lakewood under the auspices
of the Skowhegan Salvation Army
corps last Friday. Through the court
esy Of Mrs. Edith s. Shepherd the
transpo ration to and from Lakewood,
over the Somerset Traction line, was
furnished gratis, the party leaving at
nine in the morning and returning at
FIVE in the afternoon. Short religious
exercises were held at Lakewood
grove and the remainder of the time
was given over to enjoying the at
fractions of this beautiful resort as
they appear at their best on pleas
ant August day. All joined in pic
mic dinner in the grove at the noon
hour.
This is the first outing of the kind
conducted by the Skowhegan corps,
but 1t is the custom OF the Salvation
Army to hold them annually in all
places where they have stations, and
1t is purposed to do so he re in the fu-
ture. Captain and Mrs. Bivans are
grateful to the people Of Skowhegan
whose generosity enabled them to
carry out the affair SO successfully.

Skowhegan's Coming Cattle Show
and Fair.

The officers of the Somerset Central
Ag. Soc. are pleased to assure the
readers of the REPORTER that so far
as can be seen at present everything
points to a very entertaining fair.
Already they have the promise of
large exhibits in every department.
Our stalls and pens will all be more
than full.
The Poultry show will be the finest
ever seen in northern Maine and will
be up to date in all respects; don't
fail to visit this department.
Some of the finest horses In all
Maine will be seen on the track, and
as straws indicate the course of the
wind, 80 the indications for the best
racing ever seen on this track are
good. The Stake races have all filed
largely and from letters and inquiries
received from all over the State al
the fields must be large ones.
Great interest is being shown In the
draft department and the Society has
decided to add special in this de-
partment for cattle, called "a conso
lation premium" This will be &
premium OF $40 to be divided as fol.
lows, 81, 50, 81. This will be fol
cattle over feet and 3 inches II
girth; the same entrance fee required
as in the lighter classes. Owners tt
drive and have the right to load the
dray as they choose.

We Still Raise Oats.

They have been harvesting grain In
the Withee neighborhood in Norridge-
wock recently, and on Monday, at the
farm of Horace s. Withee, 400 bushels
were threshed out in nine hours. The
thresher is a Grey, owned by Fred
Horne of Norridgewock, and the
power is furnished by gasoline en-
CINE of the International Harvester
Make. Ralph Foss of this place with
one man to assist him handled the
grain at the machine, but, as it was
taken directly from the field, an addi-
tional crew of seven men were en-
ployed in hauling and pitching off,
and in taking away the straw. The
grain had been cut by modern reap
er and binder and one load yielded
fifty bushels of oats.
