WAS SHE POISONED ?
Death of Rockland Woman and Arrest of
Her Husband

RoCKLAND, Me, Oct. 20.-The heartbroken
parents of Mrs. Allison Mcfarland, who died
suddenly in Newark, N. j., Wednesday, spent
many anxious hours waiting for the arrival of
the body today only to learn this afternoon
that it had been held for autopsy and that
cyanide of potassium, not heart disease was
the cause of death.
at is simply awful; l can't understand it."
said her father, George A. Crockett of Pur-
chase ST., when told that his son-in- law was
under arrest. Mr.. Crockett said: This looks
very bad | cannot understand it, but | am
positive that she never took the poison delib-
erately
Tuesday the parents of Mrs Mcfarland re-
ceived letter from her stating that she had not
been feeling very well. Tuesday night there
came telegram from Mr. Mcfarland. saving
Evelyn seriously ill of heart failure" We'd
neSday brought another telegram, dated Phil
adephia saying: | am bringing you the baby
which is duplicate of Evelyn. Evelyn died
very suddenly. Mr. Burpee will see and
arrange. Love and sympathy" Mr. Rurpee
is the undertaken here.
Still another telegram came to Mr. Crockett
today and it caused the bereaved parents con-
siderable uneasiness and wonder. 1t was from
the Newark chief of detectives, inquiring if
Mr.. Crockett had heard of his daug hters sud-
den death. The detectives inquiry took a
new and terrible meaning when the father
was shown dispatch telling him of Mrs Nc
FarlandS tragic death.
Mr.. Crockett, who is a prominent citizen,
said there had never been any domestic un-
pleasantness between Mr.. and Mrs. Mcfarland
far her parents knew, but during the
past five years the couple had resided in other
States, and Mr.. and Mrs. Crockett had seen
very little of them together. They went to
Newark about three months ago.
"If she wasn't happy with him, why didn't
she write to us?" moaned the grief f-stricken
father. Mrs. Crockett who has been in ill
health, is nearly prostrated by the blow.
Mrs. Mcfarland was 80 and was very attrac-
tive. She was married about eight years ago.
Her husband is former resident of Thomas
ton and in his schooldays was prominent in
athletics.
Later reports indicate that it may have
been case Of suicide, caused by domestic
troubles.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tionai remedies. Deafness is caused bv an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be DESTROYED forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that con-
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure Send for

While automobile enthusiasts rule
in other portions of the valley, and
have dreams of running their ma
chimes from one end of the state
to the other, from one National
park to the other, and through
the beautiful chain of lakes up to
the Canadian border. the motor boat
reigns supreme in Whitefish, and
the motor boat enthusiasts have
visions of opening up waterways, so
that they can use their boats to
cover larger territory.
There is not another lake in
the state that has so large q num-
Der of motor boats. To skim up
and down on the seven-mile sheet
of water is q great source of pleas

was sitting on the edge of the
platform with his feet on the rails
and resting his head on his hands,
apparently asleep. Engineer Bab-
cock sounded his whistle violently
and in ample time for the man to
get out of the way. Instead OF that
he just lifted his face from his
hands and looked up at the ap-
preaching train with unconcern, and
then resumed his former position.
The train was then too close to
stop. and the next instant he was
struck and hurled to death. No
papers were found on the body by
which he could be identified in any
way. Coroner Waggener was called
to the scene and took charge of the
body.

It has not been made more OF a

d probably due to a lack of adver-
tising. If Whitefish lake was as

Il would be equally as popular.
As far as natural beauty is con-
cerned Whitefish lake can compare
with any OF them. It ueetles at the
foot Of the mountains whose wooded
sides rise in some places right UP
from the waters edge. Sparkling
streams fed from springs and melt
ing snow tumble from lofty heights
into the lake. Dotted here and

uine little beauty spots which make
