Unknown AssaIlaat Attempts Rob-
berry at West Hampdsn.

Bangor. Me-, June pa telephone
message received here at 10 o'clock to-
night from West Hampden, states that
Mrs. Mary Prescott of that place was
found murdered at 9 o'clock in her
home, having been shot through the
head. Robbery was the motive and it Is
reported that the neighbors have a
definite clue to the murderer but are
afraid to talk. Sheriff White and Dep
uty Sheriff Garland left here for the
scene at 1890
Sheriff White and his deputies who
went to West Hampden tonight to in
vestigate the Prescott case have not
yet returned, but a telephone message
received at midnight says that Mrs.
Prescott is not dead, and that she is
likely to recover.
Mrs. Prescott, who is about 66 years
old. lives alone In a secluded spot four
miles from Hampden Upper Corner,
far from car lines, her nearest neigh
bors being a Whitmore family, living
about half a mile away. At dusk Fri
day the Whitmores heard the old lady
screaming for help and Mr. Whitmore
hurried to her house, finding her in a
state Of collapse, and covered with
blood from many wounds upon her
face and heard, while in her cheek was
round hole indicating the passage Of
bullet
Mrs. Prescott was able to talk and
stated that just before dark a man OF
medium stature had come to the house
and demanded "her money or her life :"
She told the man that she had no
money, whereupOn he renewed his de-
mand and when she attempted to es-
cape into the house. struck her repeat
eddy upon the head with some sort of a
heavy instrument. When she began
to scream, so the report goes, the as
sailant drew revolver, placed the
muzzle in her mouth and fired, the
bullet passing out at the right cheek
He then fled and was last seen going
toward the river.
Although Mrs. Prescott is in rather
serious condition, it was said tonight
that she would probably recover.

WESTERN GAMERS
WANT INSPECTION

CHICAGO. Nov. 5,-Federal and State
sanitary inspection of the country's
canning factories and canned goods is
being urged by representatives of the
canning industry,
Several Middle Western State organi-
cations have come 20 the front volun-
tarily seeking inspection. Michigan al
ready has an inspection system for this
class Of goods and it's workings are de-
clared a success from the standpoint Of
both Gamer and consumer
Some Of the biggest men in the in
dustry have been urging this Govern
ment surveillance of canned products.
The argument is presented that Fed
eral bureau of inspection Of preserved
foods be placed ia charge of goods in
cased IN tin in order that the character
OF all such foods may be vouched for
before leaving the factories.
That such a plan Will be favored by
DR.. II. W. Wiley chief Of the United
States Bureau of Chemistry, seems as
sured by that officials attitude on sew
eral occasions when ne was interviewed
on food preservation. Recently he pre-
sented the canning industry with a
clean bill Of health declaring that the
general impression that personalities
were used in American canned products
was entirely wrong
It Is pointed out that canned foods
when sealed and sterilized by heat
alone, which IS the process employed by
ton, retain their wholesome qualities
indefinitely.
Federal inspection would be of ma
terial value 10 the public as we'll as the
