Cotton is stored at 25c per bale for sixty days, and insured at 25c per month,- making the cost 75c for stor- age and insurance at the compress. This is so cheap that it looks unrea- sonable to allow it to lay around the platforms, your premises and other places where it is continually exposed to damage.

On that day Peter Cipperly, a farm

a young man on car which left Troy
for the party at $50 P. M. The young
man with her was apparently between

LIGHT ON, MURDER?
Miss Drew Had Two Admirers, Water
willie Woman Says.

Watervile, Me-, July TT knew he'd
do it," was the involuntary expression of
Mrs. Nina Jones of this city, the init
mate friend of Miss Hazel Drew, the 49,
year-old Troy, N Y. girl whose body was
found in pond near that city. when she
read the first reports Of the murder.
The person whom she had in mind as
the slayer of her young companion was
an Armenian or Italian who. she had
been told by Miss Drew, had attempted
at least twice to commit a fclonious as
sault upon her and had been fought off
with an umbrella. When she told of this
today Mrs. Jones believed it would be an
important clue for the investigators.
Mrs. Jones, who also furnished the first
information connecting the dead girl with
Troy dentists office, said she never had
been told the name Of the dentist, whom
Miss Drew told her she could marry any
time she wished and she did not know
whether the dentist was n proprietor or
an assistant. She knew of no other male
acquaintance of the girl.
Although she had received. while living
in Providence, r. l.. and lately in this
city, many letters from Hazel. with
whom she was on terms Of fast friend
ship during the three years she resided in
Troy, she had destroyed the n.ost of
them. Those shown contained accounts
of current events and revealed little be-
yond the news of the day. This coTre-
srordcnce was passing between the two
up to the time of Miss Drew's disappear
ance.
Upon leaving Troy Mr.. Jones, who
works at the trade of n founGlyman
moved to Providence, and Hazel visited
them there last May. She and Mrs.
Jones went to Boston to "see the sights"
before she returned home. Miss Drew
wrote before Memorial day. saying she
would be in New York for the holiday
ard perhaps would go to Providence.
Later she wrote she could go no further
than New York
On June last Mr.. Jones went to Troy,
but did not see the girl, although she
must have known that he was to be in
the city. for Mrs Jones wrote her of the
fact. He left that city July 3 and went
to Boston, remaining there until July G.,
the day the girl was last seen.
