terms Brown, in his defence, was able
to furnish an alibi, which apparently
made SO great an impression upon the
officers that they ordered his discharge

Life Once Dispaired Of.
Brought to WinsIow Home From
Pettes Pond.-.AssaiIant Known.

brought to his home on Water street.
Winslcw, early Yesterday morning sui
rcrng from bodily injuries received, it
is believed at the hands or another
employee. who has been at work with
POmerleau in the woods near Pettes
pond. Late Monday night DIR. j. G.
EoWne and II. b. Smell of this city were
called to q camp near PetteS pond in
WINSTON and found Pomerleau in a
critical condition. 1t is believed that

officers are confident thar the person
they are looking for is the right ore.
Pomereau. it is understood. left the
woods and started for The camp late in
the afternoon. He was alone and it is
supposed that he was attacked and
struck down, although Mr.. Pomeileau
was not in a condition yesterday to
give many details. 1t is understood,
however that he had had trouble with
a certain party at a previous time and
for this party the officers are now in
search.
Pomereau when found was In q; Sc
riCus condition. His face was badly
cut and bruised and in an unrecosniz-
able condition. One rib was broken and
he was in such a condition when found
that his life was despaired Of but il
was thought best to bring him to his
home on Water street Winslow, and
yesterday his condition was somewhat
improved. 1t is understood that he was
able to give to the officers the name
Of his assailant and an arrest is eN-
rected at any time.
