jim JOHNSON MADE
FULL CONFESSION
ADMITTED ne TIED MULE TO THE
RAILROAD TRACK.
Gave q Mortoane on Pair Of Mules TO
save His Brother-in.law from
the penitentiary.

Wnen IL comes 10 tne NOTk Oh spe-
cIal detectives, Chas Pinkoson is the
Iimit-that IL, the limit Of shrewdness,
and whatever 0fficer Pinkoson cannot
get In the way of information and con-
fessiOns had just as well be left alone
by others.
The Sun contained a notice two or
three days ago OF a number of ar
rests at Newberry. among whom were
Jim johnson and Jim Hunt, charged
with tying a mule on the railroad
track. Ofiicer Pinkoson Is a special
agent In the employ OF the Atlantic
Coast Line. and was assigned to this
case. which was In his district. Az
ter causing the arrest Of the men. he
secured from Johnson a full confess
sion.
Johnson stated In substance, so ON.
Ger Pinkoson says, that the reason
he had for tying the mule on the
track was that he had given a mort
gage for his pair OF mules to save
Mo uIOthct-ih-idNs jim hluht' hOhh 81
ing TO the penitentiary. The mortgage
being due, he did not have the money
TO pay IL. and Hunt not helping him.
as he promised. advised him TO take
the sorry mule and tie Il TO the rail-
road track; that the train would come
along and kill the mule, and he would
get enough to pay the mortgage and
save the other mule.
Johnson stated that at first he was
afraid TO do this. but Hunt told him
Il was dead easy" that six or seven
years ago he tied an old horse to a
railroad track. the animal was killed
by the train. and he Hunt got good
pay for Il. Hunt told him to tie the
mule on a short curve. and that II
would be run over and killed before
the engineer could have time TO stop.
and that all he would have To do was
10 pretend that he was In Newberry
trading. and that the mule had gotten
away from him.
Il appears that Johnson acted upon
the advice OF Hunt. as the mule was
tied to the rails at the point indicated
and was run down and killed. A
fortunate circumstance which led ia
the discovery OF fraud was that the
animals body became so thoroughly
tangled up with the machinery OF the
locomotive that Il became necessary
20 stop the train and pull IL out. when
Il was discovered that the animal had
been securely bound to the rails. the
ropes being found about the neck and
feet. This resulted In a search OF
the guilty parties. with the result that
the negro johnson was tracked to his
home.
Officer Pinkoson now has In his pos
session the shoes worn by the negro
the ropes which were found upon the
mule. and the switches which were
used in driving the mule to the point
all of which will be introduced in evi
dence.
Jim Hunt was also arrested. and l,
I'm jail awaiting trial at the fall tern
Of the circuit court.

Committed Suicide by Hanaina

William Foster, aged about 45 years
hanged himself Saturday night at the
home of his sister, Mrs. Jane Brissett in
Essex junction. Sometime between
nine and ten o'clock he disappeared and
his nephew, Edward Brissett, found the
body hanging from a corner of the YER
anda with the neck broken. Foster had
taken a long rope from the barn and the
slack allowed his feet to touch the
ground.
Foster often talked of taking his own
life n had attempted to hang himself
about six years ago, it is said. He had
been employed at Whitcomb Bros farm
but had not been working for a few DAYS.
Foster was born in Richmond but had
lived in Essex. He is survived by a
daughter. Mrs. Emma Foster, a son.
Edward of Richmond, two brothers, Ed
ward of Essex, and Tyler of Bristol, and
one sister, Mrs. Brissett. His wife SCI
cured a divorce some years O has mar
ried again and lives in Richmond.

Added weight was given the event
because it followed so closely upon ths
recent reports that the Morgan inter
ests were about to take an active in
terest in the government of the Har-
riman roads and that the younger
Morgan was slated as the ultimate
successor of Hartman in the COM
mand of the Union and Southern Pa
cific systems.
The National City bank is controlled
by the Kuhn, Loeb-Standard Oil in
terests, which have assumed a com
handing position, for the time being
at least, in the executive committee
of the Union Pacific. George w
Perkins of the firm of J. p. Morgan
& Co. is already a director of the
bank, and the additional recognition
given the firm was taken to mean not
merely the existence of an entente
cordiale, J." but the consummation of an
active working alliance between the
two great groups of American finan-
ciers.
The National City bank, referred to
by the general public as the STANDARD
Oil bank" has resources %aggregating
more than $500 900 900, while the
First National, known as the Nor
gan bank" has resources approx
mating $50 900 900. The tremend-
Gus of the two combined is
at once apparent.
The commanding position which the
National City bank interests now hold
in the Hartman railroads is indicated
by the act that four of the six mem
bers of the reconstructed executive
committee of the Union Pacific are
directors in the bank, j.. A. Schiff,
William Rockefeller, F. A. Wander
and Schiff were elected Monday, when
the size of the committee was in
creased and Judge Robert S. Lovett
made chairman, filling the va
cancy made by Harriman's death.
The changes made in the Southern
Pacific directorate at the meeting
Tuesday. as a result of Harriman's
death, were precisely the same as
those made in the Union Pacific di-
rectorate Monday, and were in line
with the general expectation. Lovett
succeeded Hartman as chairman OF
the executive committee, while
Schin and Rockefeller were elected
directors and made members of the
enlarged executive committee. AS
was the case at the Union Pacific
meeting, no action was taken in the
matter of electing a successor to Har-
riman as president.

Appendicitis is caused in most cases by
indigestion. The undigested food irri-
tates the intestines. The appendix be-
comes int1amed which soon becomes
chronic. Finally suppuration sets in, a
pus cavity is formed and an acute attack
of appendicitis results. To prevent at
lacks of this fatal disease cure your in.
digestion with Rydale's Stomach Tablets.
They will make the whole alimentary
canal healthy from the. stomach to the
lower bowels. No danger of attacks of
appendicitis if the intestines are normal
and healthy. Rydale's Stomach Tablets
will keep them 80.

Line.

The Walpole, n. H., authorities are
continuing their proceedings, under the
direction of eminent counsel, for testing
the important question of where the
boundary line between New Hampshire
and Vermont runs, or in other words.
to see if there are no important portions
of the paper and pulp mills of Bellows
Falls located either upon made land
in the river or upon land and rocks on
the New Hampshire side of wherever the
boundary may be ascertained to be. The
question hinges upon what is the legal
boundary, whether the high water or
low water mark, or the top of the bank
or the river or the bottom. The boun-
Diary as defined by previous law and
agreements has been ''the west bank of
the Connecticut river"
Walpole claims that from half a mil
lion to a million dollars worth of mill
property is located in its town and pro-
poses to assess it for taxes. The Inter
national Paper Co. is the one most inter.
ested, and as the company has property
located in that town anyway it is pro-
posed to assess them this year and levy
upon a large stock of logs stored across
the river pending the settlement of the
question which is to be an important and
closely contested one to the town of
Rockingham.
