Milo McClench Finds Body
OF Missing Louis Albert Best.

The body of Lewis Albert Best, the
wealthy real estate dealer of Kansas
City, Mo, who disappeared from the
Carleton cottake Lake Cobbosseeeon-
tee, nine days ago. was found, Tues
day afternoon, floating in the water
of the lake near Fairs Cove by Milo
McClench of Hallowell who had been
searching for the body during the
greater part of the day. Coroner II.
w. Plummer of Augusta was called to
the lake and took charge of the body.
The facts in the case point SO strongly
to accidental drowning that Coroner
Plummer did not deem an inquest nee
essary.
The body was found only about 100
yards from where Diver Nicholas had
been at work, but this was fully one
half mile north of where Mr.. Best's

boat had been found, by his attendant,
Thomas Abrahamsork The body had
been in the water nine days before it
came to the surface, but it had been
the opinion of many that it would
come to the top few days previously
on account of the hot weather.
The body was taken to Augusta in
an ambulance and carried to Mr..
Plummer's undertaking rooms to be
prepared for burial. 1t has not yet
been decided whether it will be car
ried to Kansas City for burial or not
but 1T is thought quite probable that
it will be.
A reward of 5000 for the person. who
found Mr.. Best. dead or alive, had been
offered by relatives of Mr.. Best and
will be paid to Mr.. McClench.

TOOK A CANNON
 TO SUBDUE NEGRO
After Killing His Father and Dep uty Sheriff and Wounding Oth- CTS, a One Founder Brings
 Crazy Black to Time.

Rochester, N. T., Jan. it.-Wil- liam Twiman, a negro considered insane, murdered his father at their home in Scottsville, a little village near Rochester, yesterday. shot dead a deputy sheriff, severe ly wounded three other deputies and slightly wounded Sheriff Hamil, the leaders of a posse of more than T hundred persons who endeavored to enter Twiman's house in which he had barricaded himself.
 Twiman held the beseigers at b y for six hours, or until D. m, when a i-pounder, hurried to the scene from the local armory with a squad of naval militia and na- tional guardsmen, arrived on the spot. Sheriff Hamiln then sent an ultimatum to the negro by John Alexander, negro with whom Twiman has always been friendly, that if the desperado would sur render he would be protected from violence but that if he persisted in defying the officers the house would be shot to pieces.
 The message decided the negro promptly and he walked out of the house holding his hands above his head. Officers hurried him to the county jail here.
 Twiman went on rampage Tuesday and his father asked that he be arrested. This morning the iesperado went 10 the home of James L. Cox. after he had evident " killed his father, for he said:
 They can't come now and take he old man away"
 Twiman started home and CoxI lotifled the authorities. Soon af- erward deputies surrounded the llace. After firing into the house or an hour and drawing replies rom the negro. who was armed with a rife. a revolver and a shot nn. they ielephoned t0 Rochester or a squad ef national guardsmen.
