Wife's Statement

Mrs. Donnell, who was in a ner-
vous condition from the fright and
worry over her husband, stated that
DR.. Donnell had been watching for
some weeks to catch thieves who had
been taking chemicals and drugs
from his laboratory. About three
weeks ago he had lost a kettle of
pills. which had been manufactured
there.
People have said, who knew about
this thieving, that drug thieves were
after morphine" she said. but this
was not true. Whoever sought these
drugs knew what they were after.
About o'clock my husband
and got up to find out what was the
trouble. l was afraid and cautioned
him not to go out. He insisted. I
lay there some little time when the
telephone rang and neighbor,
Frank Moore. reported that his wife
had been awakened by light stream
ing into their house nearby from
flames and that the laboratory was
afire.
Il knew something must have hap
pened to the doctor, and aroused the
house. Leo Rheame rushed to the
laboratory and found the doctor un-
conscious, and gave the alarm. He
had been struck over the right side
Of the forehead.
When he became conscious later
this morning his mind became clear
and he told that when he crept into
the building quietly he went up the
stairs to reach the switch to turn on
the light. The instant the light came
on he saw two figures just above him.
The face of the first man he said he
would recognize again. He was a
dark complexioned. smooth-faced
young man. 1t was only an instant

Red is the color of sunset clouds
That presage pleasant day,
It gaddens the heart of the sailor bold
And speeds him upon his way,
And red are the stripes of our dear old flag
AS it floats Ger our heads today.
White is the color of lilies fair,
And white is the glistening snow,
And white is the emblem of peace and love
AS it dwells with here below,
And white the stripes of our dear old flag,
We love it right we'll know.
Blue are the volets gentle and meek,
Blue is the color for which seek,
Blue is the color of royal worth
That greeted our sight at our flags glad birth,
When joined with red and white so true
It gave to our land the RED, WHITE AND BLUE,
symbol of all that is noblest and true.

Lewiston, Me-, June 13-Dr. c. X.
ponnell. a Lewiston physician, was
murderously assaulted and his
buildings set on fire, presumably by
the assailants. at 1870 o'clock this
morning.
DR.. Donnell, hearing a noise in his
laboratory, went to investigate. AS
he started to turn on the electric
lights, a man whose face he did not
see, struck him upon the head with a
club, rendering him unconscious.
Fire, believed to have been start
ed by the assailant or assailants,
spread rapidly through the building,
destroying the greater part Of it.
DR.. Donnell. still unconscious was
found by Leo Rheame, an employe
and carried to safety. Although the
injury to his head is serious, it is said
that he will recover. The property
loss is roughly estimated at about
$4,000.
Later in the day DR.. Donneil made
a statement in which he said that
he has in the past few months been
robbed of several thousand dollars
worth of drugs, and he believes the
assailant and arson to have had some
connection with this. He was I'M
able. however, to name any indi-
vidual, and no arrest had been made
by the police at noon today.

The first trembling commenced at

gale had been blowing at a rate of
more than fifty miles an hour all night.
AT first the residents awakened by the
shaking credited this to the wind. But
as the trembling grew in severity with
recurrent shocks, they recognized the
popularity Of earth tremors and rushed
from their homes, Drawing the cold
severity of the windstOrm in preference
to the trembling walls of their homes
tuesdays quakes lasted from one to
Six seconds each and were spread over
a period of five hours, the last one be-
ing registered at 8 o'clock. The Chin
hev on the sugar factory warehouse
was tumbled to the ground. Walls
cracked in the October shocks had
these breeches widened. At 2:3O there
nad been no recurrence of the shaking
Inc four severe shakings were at 3 80.

ihterspered with a series of at least
twelve slighter stakings.
