MAN HELD FOR
MURDER Of

Mrs. Frederick L. Small, wife of a
Boston real estate broker, who was
burned in a fire at her summer home
on Lake Ossipee, last night, had been
murdered, was discovered today
when her body was taken from the
ruins. She had been beaten on the
head and strangled. A rope was
found around her neck. Her hus-
band, who left for Boston six hours
before the fire, was arrested when he
returned today.
Before his arrest Small offered n
thousand dollars reward for the slay-

agent said that last January he
wrote joint policy for $4,000 for
Small and his wife's life. That in

Second regiment spend it's term OF
duty on the Mexican border merely

some real service.
The regiment will go to the bor-
