DEATH OF BOWMAN
RECALLS THE CASE
OF STAIN CROMWELL

The death at Los Angeles. California.
the present week Of Frank M. Bow
man, an old-time Augusta hotel keep
err, who went west about 10 years ago,
recalls the case years ago in which Da-
vid l.. Stain and Oliver Cromwell were
convicted and sentenced to the states
prison at Thomaston for life for the
murder of j. Wilson Barron, cashier
of the Dexter Savings Bank, and who
after serving dozen years or so in
prison were pardoned by the Governor
and Council.
The dead body Of Cashier Barron was
found in the bank in 1878 and 10 years
after Stain and Cromwell, who did not
bear very good reputation. were ar
rested, charged with the crime. The
case was tried in the supreme judicial
court at Bangor before the late Chief
Justice John A. Peters, the late Orville
D. Baker of Augusta appearing for the
State in his capacity as attorney gen.
eral while Stain and Cromwell We're
represented by the late Lewis A. Bar
kerr and ?. H. Gillin Of Bangor. Mr..
GilIin is practically the only one now
living who played an important part in
the trial.
At the time Of the tragedy Mr.. Bow
man was the proprietor Of the old
Farmers Hotel in this city and his
testimony was that men answering to
the description of Stain and Cromwell
had registered at his house while they
were supposed to be on the way to
Dexter. Ten years afterwards at the
trial Mr.. Bowman identified the men as
the same ones, the government tending
to show that they were in the vicinity
of Dexter about the time that the body
body of Cashier Barron was found.
Charles E. Stain, son of David L.
Stain, was one of the principal wit
nesses for the State at the trial against
his father. But after the men had been
in States prison for ii years, new evil
dence was discovered and they were
pardoned by the Governor and Coun-
Gil in December. 1900. during the ad-
ministration Of Governor Lellewellyn
Powers. After their release from pris-
on Stain and Cromwell both removed
to Massachusetts,, where they died.
Lewis A. Barker, formerly of Bangor.
now Of Boston, and son Of Lewis A.
Barker, who acted as counsel for Stain
at the trial, represented the petitioners
at the pardon

1t is a we'll known fact that not all
of the members of the Second Maine
Regiment which has left for Mexico
are inexperienced in actual warfare,
but it is safe to assume that there are
none, or very few at least, who have
seen the service that J. T. knight of
this city, now with Co. l Of PASSPORT
has seen.
Mr.. knight, who is known to many
friends about town as Tom" was
born in seven Oaks, England. 81 years
ago, and enlisted in the British army
before he was of age. He fought
bIavely in the Boer war, was wounded
three times by rifle balls, and his wife
is the proud owner OF two heavy silver
medals which were conferred upon him
after the war. One of them has four
silver bars, on which are engraved
the words Relief of Ladysmith,"
''TransvaaL" Tugela Heights" and
Cape Colony each representing an
engagement in which he fought. This
medal bears the medallic: OF Queen
Victoria on one side. and an armored
Victory holding a laurel wreath over
troop of soldiers on the other. The

King Edward VII, and the bars are in

Mr.. Knight has lived in the West.
knows the conditions in Mexico thor
oughly. and is exactly the type of SOL
der that will be most effective If war
is declared. His previous experience
will count heavily in his favor. When
the present situation arose, ne felt that
it was his duty to enlist, and after con-
suiting with his wife they decided on
his going, and he enlisted in Co. M, but
was transferred to Co. | Of Eastport
Mr.. Knight met four other men who
had served in the Boer War when the
regiment was assembled at Camp
Keyes, and they discussed the posi-
bilities of the present disturbance.
Mrs. Knight is employed at the
Vickery & Hill Publishing Co, and
while she hates to see her husband
leave for the front. she realizes as do
many others, that he is only doing
what he believes TO he his duty, and
to say that she is proud of her soldier
husband is putting it very mildly.

Ever since last July women OF the city
have been plying local merchants with
the query, when are you going to have
another Dollar Day? We got such splen-
did values.
The question is now squarely answered
and before the dates set, July and I.
every woman in the county will hear the
glad news and furthermore will be on
hand to get her share of the bargains.
She will not be disappointed. None viii
be- 1t would be impossible to disappoint
any one with such a wholesale showing
Of values. Last July Dollar Day was
new experience for Augusta. Merchants
were somewhat timid to enthuse and
shoppers could hardly believe the good
news. This year everyone knows how to
approach the matter. The merchant
knows what is wanted and that he must
give the limit of good value. The women
know, too that their favorite stores will
do their utmost
The dollars of dollar days will surel!
take on wonderful possibilities on July
and I. 1t will be the blue-ribbon shop
ping event of the year.

The Glorious Fourth.

Here it is, the Fourth" ag'in!
Sakes alive, how time does spin!
Don't seem like it's sixty year
Since 1 first begun to hear
All the loud, tarnation noise
We stirred up when we was boys,
All Of US a-wishin' powder
Was lots cheaper and lots louder!
Recollect with what delight
Used to be up half tibet night
Helpin' fire the anvil or
Maxim other sounds of war?
Used to wish the earth was drilled
Out inside and powder-filled,
And that l could somehow Just
Touch her off and hear her BUST
Weren't no cannon-crackers then,
Kind o wish there had a-been-
Then they would "a sounded sweet,
Now they lift me off my feet
I've begun to think that noise
Was invented just for boys.
Fourth o July don't seem to me
T all like it used to be-
Just as patriotic, still
Somehow l don't catch the thrill
OF the loud, tumultuous JOY
Like l used to when boy.
Nothin' dom then but l
Had finger in the pie
But that finger, as you see,
Got bowed off eventually.
