Officers Still Working
On MYSTERIOUS Death

The past few weeks, Sheriff
Heaiy and other officers have been
working on the mysterious death OF
Cyrus Jewell, who was burned to
death in the rented dwelling on the
new road to Athens, few miles
from Skowhegan, which was his
home and where he resided alone,
on the night of October Sth, 1924.
The identity of the boy has been alb
solutely established in connection
with this recent work by the Of
ficers, when the body was exhumed
from its buried place. in Norridge-
wock. A peculiar feature in the
Identification was a tooth which was
growing from the roof of Mr.. Jewelfs
mouth. This fact was made known
to Sheriff Healy by dentist at Nor
ridgewock who had done work for
Mr.. Jewell. Edward True Of Gin
ton, who resided with Mr.. Jewell in
Massachusetts for long period or
time was helpful in Identifying the
body. The case has been considered
from every angle. Sheriff Healy
and other officers will continue the
investigation.

Charlotte Lives
Past In Pageant

IL Charlotte, n. c., May 20 GA. P.)-
A pageant of gigantic proportions,
| portraying many historic events of
the Colonial period in North Caro-
lima, will feature the sesqui-centen-
NAL OF the Mecklenburg Declaration
! of independence, which began today,
the anniversary date, to continue
during the week.
The famous Mecklenburg Declara-
ton, referred to by some as the
"AIecklenburG Resolutions" was
signed on May 20. 1875, upon receipt
in Charlotte of the news of the bat
ties of Concord and Lexington. AL
though there has been some contro-
versy as to the date the document
was signed. May 20 has been official
ly recognized and made a legal holt
day by the General Assembly Of
North Carolina.
Celebrations have marked the re-
currence of May 20 for many years
in Charlotte. Ten years ago the
principal speaker was President Will
son. In view of the fact that May 20,
1925, is the sesqui- centennial, it was
determined to stage a celebration of
pretentiouS proportions. For many
months committees have been busily
engaged arranging the details. A
stadium that will seat thousands of
people has been erected at. Inde-
,pendence Park, and it is on this spot
that the principal outdoor events
will be seen. Experts in pageantry
from many other sections of the
country were engaged to plan and
execute the 1925 celebration.
u
Independence was signed by colon
lists who were dissatisfied with Brit
ish rule. Most of them were Scotch
men and Scotch Irish, who had come
to America in large numbers, and
the descendants Of these liberty-lov
ing people.
Charlotte, now a city of more than
$4,000 inhabitants. was village of
80 lots when the Mecklenburg Dec
laration of Independence was signed.
Here comes the story of why our
Queen City was named Charlotte"
said DIR. Alexander Graham, of this
city. Someone suggested that it
would be a good policy to name the
city in honor of the kings wife.
This. they thought, would please
both the king and the queen. An
other shrewdly suggested that they
would name the county Mecklen-
burg, after the district where Char
lotte, the queen, was born. This
suggestion we know was adopted.
Nov the cunning Scotch Irish got
ready to send over their petition, for
a charter for Queens museum; sec
ond. for the right or permission for
their ministers to marry their
daughters. Both of these requests
were promptly rejected by the king"
This incident, said DIR. Graham,
added to the reasons for popular dis
satisfaction in this section. "The
war of the regulators also occurred
in 1771," he said, land the battle of
Alamance was fought. Quite a num-
Der of our people were hanged and

A RECORD CROWD AT
PINE COUNTY FAIR

The Pine County Fair at Pine
City this year. which came to a
close last evening with a good
program by Sokols from Pine Ci-
ty and Denham, surpassed that
of any previous fair. The paid
admissions on Tuesday-which
was the big day-was about 5000
Children being admitted free il
is estimated that the attendance
was in the neighborhood of 5000.
The ball game between Sturgeon
Lake and Beroun Tuesday proved
very interesting one, requiring
13 innings to settle it. The
score at the end of the 9th inning
was 5 to 5. No scores were made
then until the 18th stanza when
Sturgeon Lake ran away with
and Beroun did not connect in
their half so the final score was
8 to 5. Cunningham of Sturgeon
Lake scored a home run.
The ball game Wednesday be-
tween Hinckley and Rush City
was another good one-and was
really high class stuff-only 2 or
3 errors being made altogether.
The pitchers received excellent
support, but Hinckley appeared
little weak at the bat. Rush
City's third baseman scored an
excellent home run hit and
Hinckley's pitcher made a good
three-bagger but was called out
because he failed to slap his foot
on second base when rounding
that corner. The score was A to
0 in favor of Rush City.
Auto push ball and auto polo
caused much merriment to the
crowds as did also the horse races
and auto races. A little show by
dog tricksters was also appreci-
ated.
The exhibits were about as
usual and a constant stream OF
people passed through the build.
