Not Poison Was Used
To Be Made in Case Of Late
Fremont Newbert, Tho maston.

Depends on the Result.

Thomaston, Me, Nov. 30.-Upon the
result of an analysis of the brain and
stomach of Fremont Newbert by Prof.
Franklin C. Robinson of Bowdoin Col
lege, to whom they were taken today
by Sheriff A. ]. Toman, after New
bert's body had been exhumed to all
low the removal of these organs. will
depend the decision of the county Of
fcials whether or not to make an ar
rest in connection with the two deaths
in neighboring homes the past two
weeks, alleged to have been due to
poisoning.
If Prof. Robinson finds that the
death of Mr.. Newbert on Nov. Is was
due to strychnine poisoning, the next
official move will be made. He had
been victim Of consumption and
heart trouble, but died within 20 min
utes with commissions and, it is alleg-
ed with symptoms of strychnine pois-
oning.
The day before his death Mrs. New
bert purchased powdered strychnine
for the purpose of killing rats, as she
told the officers. Newbert had been
receiving treatment by DR.. Fred James,
neighbor, for several weeks.
On Nov. "a the 6-day-old child Of
DIR. James died suddenly. This case
was investigated by a coroners jury,
which returned a verdict that death
was due to corrosive poison, felone-
ously administered" but did not place
the responsibility.
AS Mrs. James had scarlet fever the
house was quarantined when the child
died and has not been re-opened, the
jurymen obtaining their evidence by
standing in the yard and calling the
witnesses to the door.

Columbia, Pa, Nov. 30.-Harry Tarm
a Columbia grocer, puts his pigeons to
practical use. Mr.. Harm has a fine
loft of birds with which he covers a
large order route through the country
adjacent to Columbia. 1t used to take
a half day to gather orders, a half day
to fill them and half day to deliver.
but now, thanks to the pigeons, the
work is done in one day.
When Mr.. Harm starts he takes
crate Of pigeons along in his wagon
and after he secures a few orders he
takes the duplicate order slips, which
are of thin paper, puts them in a tiny
roll on pigeons leg and then the
bird is liberated. Itsat once flies to its
loft at the, store, where the clerks re-
lieve it of the orders. 28
This plan is followed until the man
covers his entire route, and when he
returns to the store the clerks have the
goods ready for delivery. 4 .,Hu

For the Assassination Of
John D. Rockefeller.
Police Drive Suspicious Men
From Near His Residence.
Men Heard to Say That His Death
Meant Big Sum to Another.

Cleveland, Nov. 3o.-Acting upon in
that he overheard a conversation in
which plans to assassinate John d.
Rockefeller were discussed, East
Cleveland police guarded Forest Hill,
4. the oil magnate's home, all night. Sew
eral suspicious men were ordered away
from the place. The police of Cleve-
land and other towns in this vicinity
are working on the matter.
| The information was given by Saw
yer Smith of Minerva. Ohio, who claims
to have heard the plot being Matched
by two men at Alliance. Ohio, Sum
day night. Smith said he over
heard two men in subdued conversation
in an alley. He says he heard one say
that the death of Rockefeller would
be worth thousands of dollars to a
person unnamed.
| Smith at once took the matter up
with the chief of police at Canton, who
in turn sent Smith to Chief Keller of
| this city with a letter of Recommended
ton. Keller referred Smith to Chief
of Police Stamberger of East C1eve-
land in which the village of Forest Hill
is located. Chief Stamberger COM
municated with Rockefeller and For
est Hill was guarded last night.
Chief Stamberger said he drove two
suspicious characters away from For
est Hill during the night. No arrests
were made.
Sawyer Smith, who is lumber deal
er, said that while visiting in Alliance
Sunday night he accidentally came
near two men near a railway track.
Smith soon learned that the men were
plotting against Rockefeller and that
they were to be paid we'll for either
killing or kidnapping him.
1t was agreed by them that It would
be easier to kill, Smith says.
Extra precaution was used by the
Cleveland police this afternoon In
guarding Rockefeller when he departed
for his New York home.

NEARLY $4,000 MAJORITY
Against Prohibition in Alabama-Sen
ator Johnston Issues Statement.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 30.-Belated
returns today fail to change in any ma
terial aspect the majority of nearly
$4,000 against the prohibition consti-
tutional amendment in the election in
this state yesterday. Six out Of the
total of 81 counties gave majority
for the amendment and in these the
figures We're small.
United states Senator Joseph F..
Johnston today issued the following
statement on the effect of yesterdays
defeat of the prohibition amendment
in Alabama:
"The election determined that the
men of Alabama did not wish to write
into their constitution police measures,
nor surrender rights they have ex-
pressly reserved. 1t does not mean the
return of the saloons nor any backward
step in public morals. 1t means that
Alabama is conservative and not to be
shaken off her feet by mere sentimental
appeals"

Recalled by Appearance
Of an 0|d-time Poem.
"Chimney Corner Heroes" by

Forgotten by Most, But Now Worth
Reading by Everyone.

In recent issue of the Kennebec
Journal appeared few verses recited

written by the late Caleb Harris, one
of the earlier settlers of Winthrop.
The issue containing part of the poem
was sent by a friend to Henry Harris
of Mercer the youngest Of the family
| of Caleb Harris, the author OF the
poem and he (Hcnry) sent a letter
with an original copy of the poem in
full to Mr.. Sears. Henry was born in
Winthrop Jan. IS, 1882. The elder
Harris moved from Winthrop to
Mercer in the spring of 1912.

Three men of spunk, all heroes brave
I'm sure it is no fiction
Resolved the AroOstook they would save
From British jurisdiction.
With brandish'd fists and armd complete,
And staggering oathS combined,
They swore that they alone would sweep
The Northeast boundary line.
The deeds of valor they performed,
III now relate in story,
The sufferinss these brave heroes shared,
All for their cOuntryS glory.
For Madawaska's desert swamps,
Joined in heroic union;
Where wildcats snarls and bullfrogs
And black flies hold dominion
But to fancy's slarng eyes,
The foe appeared in numbers,
Wars lurid flames and claShing arms,
Forbid their midnight slumbers.
They wheeled about and stood aghast,-
To fly, they knew not WHITTIER
Grim terror seized their trembling frames
And smote their knees together.
But 10. from wars terrific noise,
See what a quick transtion!-
The rocky hills of Mexico
Now burst upon their vision.
Their joys elate with transports great,
ana Joys DtlOIe ullkitOWH,
Onward they go to Mexico,
And hide in caves of Stone.'
Twas thus they spoke, Let bull frogs
And wars dread engines thunder,
They ne'er can make these caverns shake
Nor rend these rocks asunder.
What tho they swear we towards are,
Most surely we are not sir;
Far from our lungs, with valiant tongues
We fire most deadly shots, sir.
What tho they say we ran away,
And represent us cruel,
Because that we so quick did flee
And left our wives no fuel.
what tho we left but little wood
'Tis harder where there's none, sir
And here we three all shiverng be,
In a cold cave of stone, sir
But we have friends and neighbors near
And they are very good. sir:
And when they hear we've hid in caves,
They'll go and cut our wood, sir.
what they tell the foolish tale,
OF one old king, Belshazzar;
And say that terror seized our frames
And smote our knees together.
"Why don't they tell the simple truth,
Without disguise or pother?
For when they swear we towards are.
We smite our fists together.
SHOULD any scout ere hunt us out,
Or harm us while we're here sir,
We have no doubt they'll turn about,
Or go home on bier" sir.
SHOULD ere we three molested be,
BY either fool or knaVe, sir,
While two do sleen We've one to keep

eff any feud should ere intrude,
Concerning cash or ratiOns,
We will not fight to see who's right,
But leave to arbitration.
Thus will we three all happy be,
Guard and defend our lives, sir,
And when the war is fairly Ger,
Go home to our dear wives, sir.
"And when our children yet unborn,
Begin to pant for glory,
Their hair with fright will stand upright
When we relate the story.
ION that glad day our sires will say
Let mirth and glee abound
Our sons who hid themselves in caves
Are now all safe and sound
"And when our brilliant deeds shall stand
Enrolled on history's pages,
Our names shall chime in comic rhyme,
And grace all future ages"
