MOOSEHORN
 ROAD IMPROVED
Town Given $3O,749 WPA Grant; New Bus Sched-
 ule Draws Complaints
TKOMASTON Correspondent: Mrs. Frank H. Mattoon, IF Judson St.-Tel. 195

Thomaston, Aug. 20 - According to a published announcement Thomaston has been given a WPA grant for $30,749 for improvement of Moosehorn road. Selectman E. R. Kaiser stated that an effort will be made to start the work some time this fall. The road designated for improvement connects with the Branch road a short distance be- yond Moosehorn bridge and runs through sparsely settled section of the town, terminating near the William Gilbert place on Walnut Hill. When improved it will make a convenient short cut to Walnut Hill and Northfield from the Branch road and Morris.
 Work on the road which will con- sist of widening, grading and gravel ing is expected to lend employment to large number of the 70 WPA workers now enrolled according to Selectman Kaiser.
 Another piece of road work which may get under way this fall is im- provement by the state of a sec ton of the Branch road from Howd's Bridge to the recently con- structed bridge in the vicinity Of the Waterbury reservoir. The road will be strengthened and widened with the purpose of eliminating the narrow, winding stretch which is recognized as one of the most dan- gerous highways hereabouts. The road is the property of the state, having been accepted several years ago as a trunk line.

 CAMP FIRE
 MYSTERY
 Two men camped on Lesser Slave Lake Sept. 16, 1904. A couple of days later one man was seen leav- ing the locality by an Indian lad who noticed his dog refused to fol- low.
 Then Chief Mistoos reported to Sergeant Anderson that his COWS bawled woefully every time they approached the camp fire the two men had used Anderson carefully inspected the scene, and noted the camp fire had been larger than the warm weather would seem to de- mand.
 Then Anderson noted a greasy. film on the underside of the leaves of nearby poplar trees, obviously caused by the smoke of the camp fire, though only dry wood had been available. A horrible suspicion be- gan to grow to a certainty.
 Anderson sifted the ashes with a window-screen, and found bits of charred bone. Determined to solve a case which now seemed clearly a murder, Anderson drained a nearby swamp, and found a pocketbook and a bit of broken needle which fitted to another piece found in the camp.
 The trail of the pocketbook led all the way to England, and the two pieces of needle linked Charlie King definitely to the murder of his comrade and the burning of his body-a crime that grew out Of a quarrel over a young Indian girl. Anderson whisked King back to Fort Saskatchewan and con- fronted him with 80 witnesses. The hangman did the rest.
