under peculiar circumstances. He.
with two older men, all drinking,
engaged in an alteration with Thos
Jackson, negro, and Sexton shot
the man because his companions
called on him to do so. The other
men escaped from the state, but
Sexton surrendered and told the
story of the crime himself. The sen

highest possible under the law
Recently ;he boys mothers home
was destroyed by fire and young
baby was burned to death. In vain
effort TO save her child Mrs. Sexton

death within few days.
The officials of the Mcdowell coun-

facts Governor Dawson decided to
make the Noung mans Christmas as
happy as possible by releasing him
from prison before that day.

MOST IMPORTANT
LABOR CONFERENCE
OPERATORS AND MINERS WILL
TRY TO REACH AGREEMENT.

indianapolis, Dec. 19.-With
strong hopes on the part of both
operators and miners that some sort
of an agreement be reached at the
joint meeting of the mines officers
and the operators committee, which
began here today. On the outcome
OF the meeting depends the question
of the biggest labor strike with which
the country has ever been menaced.
For the first time since it's organiza-
tion it has been large enough to be
counted as important, all contracts
of the United Mine Workers of
America with employers expire next
April. This would mean in case of
strike that practically every coal
mine in the country would be closed.

CLOSE THE BUFFETs
Is Word from President of FraternaI
Order Of Eagles.

The long awaited order has at last
arrived in the fact that Theodore E.
Bell of California, grand worthy pres
ident of the Fraternal Order of Eagles,
that all the buffets where LIQUORS are
dispensed under the sanction of the
various aerieS in the State of Maine
must be discontinued. The local mem
bers Of this organization have for a
long time expected this move on the
part of the president.
Throughout the West, where this or
der is one of the strongest. it has been
the desire of the members there to do
away with the buffet privileges and
have TO liquor in connection with the
lodge. The Western members have also
been fighting the Eastern in such states
where prohibition rules and have at
last succeeded in their purpose
1t is understood that the action Of
the worthy president was caused by
the raids made this past spring anti
summer at the aerieS in Rockland, Oro-
no and Bangor. 1t had been expected
by some of the leading officers of this
organization in this State that such an
action might come at some future time
and the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed at the meeting of the grand
Aerie at Norfolk. Va. last August.
1t is said that the letter of the grand
worthy president to the State deputy.
j. Edward Sullivan of Bangor, orders
that all the buffets be closed at once.
There are II aeries in this State. at
BidCeford. Portland. Lewiston, Rum
ford Falls, Bath. Rockland. Gardiner.
Augusta, Waterville. Skowhegan, Mad
isOn. Bangor. Old Town, OronO, Milli-
nocket Houlton and Bar Harbor
The Fraternal Order of Eagles, which
is one Of the largest organizations in
the country, is comparatively new to
this State, the first aerie being insti-
tuted at Lewiston four years ago with
Frederick L. Odlin as the grand worthy
president. The last aerie to be insti-
tuted was at Madison.
1t is said that in some of the aerles
lockers have been provided for the use
of the members in which liquor is kept
but the rules of these aeries is that no
one outside of the order can be admit
tea to the lodge rooms or the buffet
connected with the order.
A year ago the stewards of the aeries
at Skowhegan and at Bar Harbor were
arrested for selling liquor without pay
ing the federal tax but the grand juries
in the United States district court at
Portland refused to return true bills
against them.

he needed SO much money to enable
him to reach the home of his brother
in Portland. His style of speech was
captivating and had all the require
ments for a confidence man. He was
able to satisfy the most skeptical in
regard to the signs, but when the SUI
preme test came he was not able to
present the proper evidence. He was
nicely dressed, wearing a dark suit.
