is being made by the local police to de-
termine whether Lindel Bosworth, alias
Honey Budlong, who killed Detective
Bennett W. Dorman of this city and who
died yesterday from a bullet wound re-
ce1ved while trying to escape capture in
Stafford. was connected with the shoot
ing of Justice w. S. Knowles of North
Scituate, r. l., in September
The police say that they have no def
mite evidence of his connection with that
crime but declare that John McNally,
Bosworth's confederate who was arrested
here just before the Dorman shooting,
has told them that Bosworth had said
he had shot man. He did not say
where. McNally also has said, according
to the police, that Bosworth told him he
intended to kill the chief of detectives
in Providence.
McNally was taken to Bridgeport to-
day to identify Bosworth's body. The
police do not believe that McNally has
told them all he knows about Bosworth.
While McNally has said he did not know
where Bosworth lived, the police have
learned that he spent week at Bos-
worth's home in Providence. leaving
there with himlas Wednesday, 4. -

REAL ESTATE DEAL

Lewiston, Me-. Nov. 2-Fire halted >
real estate deal in Auburn Monday when
a cottage house on the North River road
owned by F. C. Bartlett, a Lewiston CON-
tractor, was totally destroyed. The own
er says that at O'Clock Tuesday he was
to pass papers for the transfer Of the
property,
In investigating the cause for the fire
Mr.. Bartlett says he has learned that
a party of hunters were seen sitting on
the piazza of his cottage Monday after
noon. His informant says they were
smoking cigarettes. Though not positive
it seems likely to him that this was the
cause of the blaze. The cottage was not
tenanted.
Loss is placed at $1,000 and no insurance
was carried on this property. The cot
tage was furnished and in the cellar
many tools were stored. These, If not
destroyed, were badly damaged. Lum-
Der piled behind the cottage was con-
sumed.

THE football situation up to TO-DAY

Notwithstanding the drift Of opin-

and was renewed with fresh troops or
Oct. g. begins to fail.
THE enemy advanced on Sunday
against the northern edge of the lofty
Doberdo plateau with strong forces,
which. however. were weak at several
points. The attack was in vain and no
longer general. Though the battle may
again flame up. the attempted offensive
on the main front, with at least % in
fantry divisions (30O,0oo mem, which the
Italian commander announced with brave
words, has collapsed on the unshakeable
wall of our victorious troops.
On Other Fronts
"On the 1sonzo from the battle of o
fortnights duration represents gain of
our arms. Our front throughout is un-
changed. Likewise the defenders of the
Tyrol and Carinthian fronts retained
firmly the positions they have heroically
held since the beginning of the war
Through these successes our army has
proved again how idle and untenable are
all the claims of our erstwhile ally to the
southwest frontier territory which he
thought he was able to conquer by 4
treacherous attack in the rear.
I'm the battles of the second half OF
October the enemy lost at least 10000
