Snrr..y Oyklnir Mnttfra, To tho Ivlltornl Suaaav Timsh. Sib,— I see from your first issue that Messrs. Churchiand und Hose are applying to the Council to get hold of the *'2,50O granled by the Provincial Government last summer, for repairing the Serpentine dyke. It is to lie hoped that the Council will do nothing of the sort. In fact it is not in their power to do so. The money was granted for a specific purpose, namely, the repairing of the old dyke, and the ratepayers and the Government will have to be consulted before it can lie used for any other purpose. The way this dyke has been bungled would disgrace a band of school hoys and there ought to be no more tinkering in the matter. Furthermore, the Council aro pledged not to grant Council funds to assist any dyking or flood-gale schemes. There is only one way to drain the Surrey flats, namely let every flat-land rancher sell or deed to the Council so much of his land, and make a thorough job of the dyke. Yours truly, YaIiK Roao. A NUMliKB of interesting items are crowded out this week, Meiitioi) wus made in our lust issue, that a human skull hud beenl found on the furiii of W, 0, Jones, about u mllii south of the Nicomekl river, nn Halite Prattle road, and thai the matter hud been repprled lo Coroner I'it'lendrigh, who deemed the matter deserving of n suiirchingj Inquiry. Accordingly. Provincial Consinblii Ficiicb wns detailed to make a thorough search for the! body helongiijg to tin; skull, and with Hint pud iu view proccedpd at unco to the locality of the mystery. On Saturday lust two search parties were orgunizi'il, one of which, bended by Constable French, sue- cded in discovering the missing body ut a distance of s.omowhut more (bun a quarter of n mile from iu phicc where the skull bud been found. On Monday,, Coroner Pjttpndrigh, Dr. Hoggs, and constables French I and Listerarf|ved at Cloverdale by train, nnd proceeded tq the ncenc! of the tragedy, witnesses having 111- ready been summoned to he if) attendance. At Ihe house of Mr. D. Maokenzie, postmaster of Clover Valley, u pause wus made, in qrderl to cmp'unnel u jury, which consisted of ThoB, Shannon, foreman, Albert 1 Milton, \\ ni. 15, Lefroy, L. Mussy,; John Apmsttong, and John jloycs.; At about I o'clock the coroner und | his officers upil the jury proceeded to whore the body hud heed found, where Dr. Hoggs held, u postmortem examination of the remains, ufter which pll returned to tho Clover Vulley post office, where, Corpner I'ittcndrigh proceeded to take evidence bearing on the idonity of the body und thu cuusp of death On the north side of Mr. .loues' ranch there isu rough trail through the bush leading to a cabin owned by a Mr, Brooks, but lalply occur pieil by a man iiained Geo. True- man. About thii.T-eic.hts of a mile east on this trail und some twenty feet off the trnil on tho north side is the glace where, thp dead man lay. Thp body wus perfectly concealed from any one passing along the path by an embankment oaujed by an ancient turn-up — that is a knoll and corresponding depression resulting from the upT rooting of a large treo. The body was in the depression with the knoll between it nnd the trail. The corpse presented a shocking spectule, dogs or wild animals having eaten the flesh entirely off the left arm and leg, and disem- bowelod the trunk, while the head. as already stated, hud been carried more than a quarter of a mile away. Hoth hands, one arm and one log were still intact, und the flesh in a fair stnte of preservution. The limbs were twisted every way by the pulling and hauling nf the animals that hud fed on the roinuins. Following is Ihe substunce of the evidence lukpn by the coroner, and is ns full u report as our limited space will permit of: William C. Jones deposed that on the iitb of April he and Mrs. Jones hud visited an old clearing on his ranch to procure some rusp- berry nnd black currant hushes. Mrs Jones hud unearthed u partially buried bone and wus shocked when u human skull rolled out. He examined Ihe skull, and in a few minutes went home. Ho had then nt once proceeded to Clover Vulley, and informed Mr. Armstrong, Reeve of Surrey, of the find. Formed no idea at the time of who the skull might belong to, On Saturday he wns one of the search party that hud found the body. Their attention had been directed to it by one of two dogs that wero with them. The dog remained behind at that place and they went hack and made the discovery, identified the body ns that of John Hoy. Knew it by the clothing, consisting of a blue jumper and overalls, but more especially hy the nailed shoes whioh were No. 7 and nearly new. Roy was a native of Switzerland, about oO years of age, and oft. Sin. in height. Had been living with deponent up to about Christmas time and had then left und went to live with a man named Geo. Trueman, who occupied a cabin one mile cast of his (Jones) place. Owed Rov $11, und hnd paid him.

The body wus headless und much ■mingled by wild beasts. The upper and lower left side ol tbe frump were nuilc of flesh . the right limbs were in va,,,,! preservution. Deuth had been recent, All the soft purls of the body, except the liver, were absent. Of the vertebra, fourteen were there and tlm othel ten were gone. In the collar of the blup blouse wero two hole*, that had the appearance "f having been luadp by a bullet, but whi,-li could not bp traced further, the, bones of the, neck being gone, tn the pockets were a piece oftnbotteo, a knife, and q handkerchief. The body was that of u healthy mun. Am of opinion that death resulted, from a bullet from behind, which from tho position of the holes in the collar would cause in.-t:iniiineinu death. If the bones of the neek were fractured, the skull would more readily separate from the body. Death had taken place; nor bmgor ago than tl to 12 weeks. At the close of the evidence ol Dr. Hoggs, the inquest was adjoaii ned, till Thursday, 18th. inst. at 11 o'clock a. in. then to be resumed a: the Starr Hotel, Cloverdale, Inquest re-opened at time and place above stuted, I If thosp present on Monday.

He suid Monday, January 14th, in the forenoon, was the time he had paid Roytheflt. Took no receipt; owed him nothing more. Never saw Roy alive afterwards. Saw him frequently before this time, , once or twice a week. When first 'saw skull didn't know Hoy was missing. Next saw it when with j the officer and search party. Examined it then, and on pbrenologi- [Cnl grounds partly recognized it as that of John Boy, Went with search party along the Brook's ! trnil nnd found body by watching the dogs. It might be ii steps off the Brook's trail. Body wus lying : in a mixed up state.

We never hud words; there wus always a warm friendship between us. Got two letters for Hoy, and ufter keeping them a while in the expectation he was coming buck I returned them to the printed address on the envelope. Never saw Roy with a gun, he was not that kind of n man. Trueman bad an old Lancaster rifle he borrowed from me. I got it from Mr. Mc- Carty, in Westminster. Don't remember getting any bullets.

Ho says: Ilcf'oro nm sat that execrated statesman, "tho best bated man In Rome," in (ho most affable of moods. His bronzed and somewhat oriental features wero certainly far from handsonio, bat tlmy wero full of character, energy, nnd. according to some, cruelty, with tho large, dark, piercing eyes overshadowed by a heavy brow, tlio strong aquiline nose and tho full sensual lips. Ho was iu a talkative mood and spoko freely of the difficulties that beset ins onerous ministry, of tho position of tho papacy becoming daily moro threatened through tho ever increasing energy of its wicked enemies, or what ho called "tho modern spirits." "But," ho added, "history teaches us that it has always triumphed iu tho long run, and it will do so now." Ho also told mo that tho worldly interests of the brothers Antonulli had novor been separated j that they possessed all their worldly goods iu common, ono brother being director of tlio Banca Ro- mana; one, thoGonte Oregon j, taking care of their vast possessions in tho Pontine marshes, a third being syudaco of Rome aud thu youngest being employed iu diplomatic missions by tho secretary of state. During a short rest ho showed me, with evident pride, over his ologaut apartment, furnished with all tho latest modern comforts. Rut tho crowning climax was tho bedroom, combining with tho solemnity and mystery of tbo abode of a prince of the church all tho luxuries of the boudoir of a petite maitresse.

There aro rotiuy qualities of tapestry, but in tho production of tho standard quality only 210 ends of fuco yarn aro required, instead of 1,280, which shows at onco that the brussels carpet has the great advantage of being thicker, softer and altogether a moro durable cloth apart from other advantages which it possesses. There is a limitation iu tho number of colors used in a brussels. In tapestry there is no limit. In the brussels tho whole of tho colors used show a moro or less slripod appearanco nt the back of thu fabric. In a tapestry they do not, show at tho back at all. This fact is made use of by householders in purchasing carpets, this being about tho ouly way thu average person can tell tho difference between them. In order to pass off tapestry as brussels somo ingenious makers have resorted to tho striping iu a regular manner of the bucks of the former. Tho stripy clTect in tho latter is broken and irregular.

Months ago Coolgardlo had a population of 10,0(1(1, and it Is growing fast. The New South Wales and Victoria gohlllehls are almost as old us those of California, but ihe mammoth fields of Western Australia have only been known a few years. Western Australia comprises about one-third the entire island and has an area of nearly l,0UO,<)0t)ti(|iiaro miles. This vast territory, which Is 20 times us birgo ns England, was until n few years ago regarded as a huge, worthless desert. Today It is famous as tho mammoth goldfleld of the world, with its 1,000,000 square miles of promising territory. Along tho coast for 1,000 miles there is a great belt of about 1150 miles In breadth that Is very rich In yellow metal. Tho first gold strike in Western Australia occurred at Khnberley in May, 1880, This field has an area of 47,000 square miles and is situated In the very northeastern comer of western Australia. Tho Yllgarn field, with an area of 08,000 Bqunra miles, wns opened in November, 1888, and the 1*11 burnt Held of about the same extent first attracted attention In July, 1880, About this time Albert K. Culvert, n mining export who had pretty thoroughly explored VYcstcru Australia, declared that ho believed the entire colony would be found rich in gold, und that home of the greatest strikes would bo mado in the southwestern part Close uoon tho heels of his prediction came the opening of tho Ash burton fields In the western part of the colony, and thu rich Murclilson. Dunlins Hills, Coolgardlo nnd ftnmlondcrry Btrlkos farther smith followed In quick succession. Thousands of square miles of promising territory are yet unexplored, and It is quite iirnbablu that many other valuable strikes will yet he made. The year 1H1I4 witnessed a considerable Increase over the world's gold output of previous years. The United States still holds first rank, with nn output of nearly •941,000,000 ns compared with 185,060,000 In 1808, an advance of 11 per cent. The chief gain bus been In Colorado, although California shows a material increase. Australia takes second place, uud the gnlti of 1804 In that i.-iand is largely duo to the remarkable development of tho Coolgardlo, The total value of gold exported from Western Australia lu I SIM \~ reported at £787,100, Iu I8D8 £481,180 worth of gold was exported, hlmwing un Increase of 87 per cent last year. South Africa now stands third on tho list of gold producing countries, but tho iipenlng up of the new and rich diggings In Mashniiahmd and Matahclehtud nml increased development of the Wltwuters- rand workings may eventually give It first place. While showing a largu increase over 1806, South Afrlca'sgotd product for 1804 fulls about |8,0U0,000 below that of the United States and is also below that of Australia.

The crudity of tlm implements and tho stills used in making turpentine and rosin lend additional interest to this old industry, and the gypsylike habits of thu turpentine ninkors add to their nigged, illiterate charms. Turpentine is the distilled gum of Ihe pine trees of North and South t'uroliuu, Alabama, Georgia nud pari of Florida. The season begins when llm first spring sup rises und ends when cold weather checks the flow of tlm tree's blood. Ill January or February tho "huokur," with bis keen bladed ax, begins thn round which cuds with the season. J In is tlm expert of (he woods and kimws his trees und just how mueh hacking tiny will stand. Mis task is to cut, llm "boxes" iu which the thick gum of (ho Wounded tree Will collect. A box iH M wide incision about six inches deep, a wedge shaped cut in the tree, and he bucks from 00 to loo boxes a day. The first boxes are cut near the roots of llm tree, and they tiro out us close together to the height of n man's head as can be done without killing tlm pine. The hacker leaves a width of bark between each box so as lo preserve (ho vitality of the tree. When Ihe trees aro leased to the turpentine makers, tlm terms of the lease limit the number of boxes to oaoh tree, but when it is desired to work the pine to tho fullest extent tlm gashes are carried up to a height of DO foot or mora After the hacker conies tho mail who "corners" tho boxes. This "corner" is a cut iu tho top of ihe box to guide the sup into tlio cavities left for the gum, and tlio man who "works" thu "crop" goes systematically from box to box, Marling the sap anew with fresh incisions, working in this way 10,000 boxes during the season. The sap or gum fills tho boxes with a clear, sticky, thick fluid, and this is removed by tho "dipper. " Scattered through tho woods are barrels in which tho "dipper" deposits tho gum, which is then hauled to tho still. About a quart of sap is taken from each box by means of tho trowel shaped scoop used by tho dipper, and then tho hacker comes along aud starts tho flow afresh by wounding tho tree again. Tho turpentine maker watches his men closely, for tho Tur Heels uro an easy going people and require to bo urged by tho "rider," who goes through the woods on horseback examining tho crop, hurrying tho dippers and backers and sending the barreled gum to the still. Tho first or "virgin" sap whioh flows in tho spring makes the best rosin, uud tho poorest is tho product of tho hardened gum which Is left on the sides of tho boxes when tho sap "turns down" in tho fall. This is removed by the "scraper," who moves through tho woods with his scraping tool, gathering tho leavings. Tho still is a largo copper vat hooded with a close fitting cover in which is a funnel which iu turn is connected with the "worm" of tlio still. This worm runs down into another vat near at hand, and in this vat tlio fumes or vapor of tho heated gum is distilled into turpentine. Fire under tho copper vat heats tho gum, and tho volatile parts rise to tho funnel, pass iuto tho still und are condensed by tho water in tho second vat into spirits of turpentine, Tho residuum left iu tho vat is the rosin of commerce, which is passed through a series of strainers and sioves to tho barrels, which aro mado on tho spot Tho turpentine, howovcr, cannot bo barreled so easily, for it will work through au ordinary barrel. It is placed in white pine barrels which have been coated Inside with several coats of strong, hut glue until the barrel is Impervious to tho subtle fluid. The trees are worked for five or six seasons, aud then tho turpentine maker moves to another part of the woods. He started iu North Carolina, crossed over to South Carolina aud is still moving toward tho gulf. Forest fires dostroy the pines fastor than tho hacker does, for the flames sweep over largo areas beforo thoy dio out. Careful owners of turpentine woods havo thu pine struw and fallen underbrush rukod away from their trees beforo the season begins, and collecting this material iu somo safe spot wait for a quiet day whon no wind will cool tbo wot finger, and then they burn tho rakings. Negroes aro common laborers of tho turpentine woods, but white men are plentiful. They live in rough shanties in tho woods, with tho stablos for tho mules and horses near at hand. No work is moro healthful than turpentine making, for it is nil out of doors in tlio depths of tho balmy, health giving pines, freo from tho malaria of tho swamps and from sudden changes of weather.— Chicago Record.

Concrete has been used by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railway for the piers of a bridge five spans across the Kcd river. These piers were made by first siuk- log at the situ of each a caisson or box of wood :\:l by Ul feet in size through tlmsimdy bottom to rock, which was easily done by weighting the caisson and then pumping out the sand and gravel, previously loosened by means of a jet of water. These caissons were then filled with concrete made of one part of Louisville cement, two parts of sand and four parts of stone broken to pass through a ring 8^ inches In diameter. After the caisson was filled a mold of two inch plank was mude of thu form of the pier. At the bottom it was 20 feet 10 inches long and \\}{ feet wide, at the top it was 8'feet 2 inches wide aud £l % feet long, with semicircular ends. Inside these molds concrete was placed composed of 400 pounds of German portktud cement, 10 cubic feet of sand and a cubic font of broken stone, which was allowed to harden thoroughly.

The Line*. In One's l'lilm. Square or spatulated fingers, in the science of palmistry, denote the philosophical nnd practieal temperament, taper fingers signify an artistic temperament, and verj pointed digits are a sore sign of thu dreamy, psychical nature. Much is learned by the general quality und configuration of the lines which cross the latter. The life line running around the base of the thumb denotes long or short life, good oi-ill health, according as it is long or short, clear and unbroken or otherwise. The "heart line," running across thu palm nearest thebnse of the fingers, signifies th* quality of the possessor's emotional nature, also the kind of love she will give and receive. This will be enduring or temporary according to whether the line be long and clear, forked orerossedaud chained. Below this Is the head line, which indicates the mental and uioral qualities and achievements and deficiencies. The line of fate runs perpendicularly across the middle of the pulm and is a very Important factor in the happiness or un- happiness of Us owner.

The nervous strain caused by the ailments and pains peculiar to the sex, and the labor and worry of rearing a family, can often be traced by the lines in the woman's face. Dull eyes, the sallow or wrinkled fare and those "feelings of weakness" have their rise in the derangements nnd irregularities peculiar to women. The functional derangements, painful disorders, aud chronic weaknesses of women, can be cured with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. For the young girl just entering womanhood, for the mother and those about lo become mothers, and later in "the change of life." the "Prescription" is just what they need ; it aids nature in preparing the system for the change. It's a medicine prescribed fur thirty years, in the diseases uf women, by Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel ami Surgical Institute, nt Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will cure the chronic hi (lamina- tionofthe lining membranes which cause •uch exhausting drains upon the system.

PATRONS OF INDUSTRY, l.nst week wo published n report uf Iho organization of un iiBBocin- limi »t the Patrons ol Industry at Surrey Centre, mid i» ttie same issue appeared a communication from our esteemed Langley correspondent bearing Independently somewhat in the same direction. We are not acquainted with the uiins and Workings of Hie Patrons, any more than to understand in a general way thnt the object of die Association is to advance the interests of the farming community and of other kindred industries. It is, we tuke it, the old ((range umlcr a new name, with the weak poihts Strengthened, and Ihe scope of fiction enlarged where experience has shown the desirability and practicability! It is safe to say that no industry suffers lo a like extent for want of Cohesion among individual workers lis that of agriculture. It is the Case to-day, and it always has been the case. In all other lines of business combination has become the rule, and the special benefits resulting have toil often been made apparent to be disputed, The farmer alone bus persistency ignored the maxim that "union is strength," and us u consequence he has been tin easy' prey for nil kinds of Donv hi nations against him. Is it any Wonder, then, that just now the farming industry is nt low ebb; that so far from being able to get a fair profit upon investment and risk alii decent wages fbr labor performed, Ihe average farmer finds himself gdlng to the wall, While the more prosperous by close ecbtlomy ban barely make ends meet.- Like capital, backed by tike application, in almost any other business IVould return cbrri| etence and hlitury. Nevertheless, farming has advantages of safety and independence that belong t,, no other calling, for however great the liouncial collapse, however impossible for the rank and tile of workers to obtain bread for starring families, the' soil continues to produce under the bounty lif Providence, and the tiller of it, though denied many of the comforts, -an nt least rest assured of the nece'ssarieBj for himself and those depending on him: The blessings be mired by Nature upori the farmer are real ; thelivils mostly complained i>f arc artificial arid lo a large cxleh' within bis control, by united nctidh, There is, therefore, rib occasion1 for the tiller of the soil to lie dissatisfied with his (•ailing', but rather a need of coin bination to rigl most limit it will bear while leaving the producer of the traffic the means of living ; the speculative handler of farm produce, whose aim is to buy so cheaply that he cannot lose, while every favorable turn in tlio market will yield just that much unexpected profit, ull in his own pocket and shared by none; tho dealer in agricultural implements, who with the socurity of the farms, recognized everywhere as tho best in existence, charges usurous profits, In our judgment the first thing for the Patrons of Industry In this Province to take hold of is the handling of the produce of tbe farms, for there certainly is a bad leak there. If tbe association gets strong enough, it should without delay establish its own warehouses at Westminster and elsewhere, where produce not in immediate use could be stored awaiting purchasers, while provision should be made that owners should receive a reasonable advance on account, pending sale, By this means the losses now often suffered by reason of forced sale would be avoided, and farmers would not be compelled to return home without needed supplies because of inability to dispose of their produce at any price, now happens occasionally, THlRD-RATB apples. From tlie absurd mistakes sometimes made in the nepwsapers of this Province in connection with the growing of frllit, it is manifest there is a decided lack of knowledge on the subject editorially and re- portoriallv. Indeed, the Contrary could hardly be expectedi for the training and practice of the newspaper Writer is not of a kind to overbufden hinl With information on the care of orchards or the varieties of fruit. It has happened however, that the editor of this paper has been engaged; Ih an ama teur sort of way; in the growing of fruit for the past twelve1 years, and having a fondness for the occupation he has not only learned a little experimentally, but has also found pleasure in studying considerable litenlture on the" Bubject. Wilh this qualification bn the part of the writef) it is the intention to devote occasional space in Surrey Times to. placing before our readers Ideas gairled by Experience, and also, perhaps, to free critlbism of higher authority; when that adlhority makes suggestion!' that we Can not agree wiih. For instance; in the filth aniiual report of the Fruit Growers Association, page1 97, certain varieties of apples are recommended to the farmers and orchar- dists of this'country. Fbur fall varie: ties are mentioned, ode of which is Maiden's Blush. Right here, we enter a protest against ihe recommendation of so poor a fruit as Maiden's Blush apple. It is scarcely third rate, keeps poorly; cooks ridfferently, and is useless for the table. If this appl>! should be grown and marketed Ih considerable (Uantities il would I)", harmful to the fruit industry of the Province, because its fine appearand: and insipid quality wodld tend; with A KiicUNT dispuch states that a company is about to be formed in London, England, for converting the fish waste of the li, C. canneries into oil and guano. Previous attempts in this direction have not been successful, but it is none the less to be hoped that the London scheme will come to a head, and give the industry a fair trial under proper conditions. The benefit would be double, in abolishing the fish offal nuisance and producing marketable commodities from what is now waste refuse. The making of a good land fertilizer would alone be of great service to the Province, provided it could be placed upon the market ut a price that Would justify its use for the enrichment of orchard lands. As a rule the higher grounds all through this district, while host adapted for fruit growing by construction of soil, are so poor in plant food that artificial fertilisation is absolutely necessary, while, at the same time, it Unfortunately happens, that the supply of ordinary fertilizers is decidely limited, and often unobtainable. A good guano ut a moderate price would fairly meet the requirement. uninformed consumers, to confirm a •! belief already too prevalent; rl.tme- the artificial ly, that the apples of British Col- wrongs from which the industry umbia are not us well flavored as Buffers.

When the Blaine officers came looking for Trueman I showed them the way to the cabin and asked them to look for my gun and when they came back they told me Trueman was gone, but the gun was there, and that day or the next day I went and got it. I believe that was on 17th January. On the 16th January I met Trueman coming from Blaine. Mr. Jones complained of illness, and he was advised by the coroner to get a cup of coffee, and meantime other witnesses would be examined. Wm. Brown, sworn, said ho was a farmer living on the Hall's Prairie road about four miles from Cloverdale. Knew John Roy since lust July, when he enme to work for Mr. Jones. Last saw him alive on the 14th January last On that day he came to my place with an order from Mr. Jones for #12 und asked mo to cash it. 1 didn't like the way it was drawn ami went buck wilh Roy to Jones' house, where I drew u note myself for $12 und Jones signed it. I then found 1 hud only $11 with me, and I paid this over to Itoy who accepted it in full payment of his claim against Jones. Jonos and his wife were present, and all seemed to be satisfied. Roy talked ol going away shortly, und seemed to be in a hurry to get away. Don't recollect Trueman being mentioned. I first met Trileinun at comer of Hall's Prairie road when he had an axe on his shoulder, and asked for work. Gave him a job of slushing an acre of my brother's land for $12, whicli I paid him when the work was done. Then bargained for three acres more for which I was to give him ono coat and two pairs of pants and #21 ill cash. Trueman finished the contract, received his pay arid we parted good friends. Trueman Went to the Brooks place) and while there used to talk lb Roy about working for Jones for nothingi and finally induced Hoy tb go and live with him in the Brooks cabin. Oh 16th January, Trueman came into my place with his pants badly torn and asked for a needle to sew them Up. He did not come by the Brooks trail, but aroilnd the other way. True- man had ori the good clothes he got froth me; and after mending the tear, we went to Blaine together. Remember Trueman taking pains to tell me Roy had gone away, cursing the farmers, and saying he would never Wbrk tor them again. They separated on reaching Blaine, and afterwards heard some men pointing and saying; " There He is; head him off;1' and I saw It was Trueman; who Was .going lip towards the depot.' The constable passed mb; but didn t head him off. I never saw Trueman afterwards. Didn't knbw that he carried firearms; but heard afterwards tHat he had fired at the Blaine constable. Trueman had no blankets. When he was chopping for me; I lent him quills to sleep under. I got two letters for Roy from the Clover Valley post office, and gave them to Jones, who after keeping them a while, retomed them to thb address printed on thb envelope: Rdy Was living with Trueman at the timb I paid him thb $11: No anxiety was felt about Rby when he did not show up. Roy niust have had $25 or so with him. Nbver beard of any troitblb between Jones and Roy. Rby madb Jones' pluce bis homei arid they appeared to be the best of friends. Lent Trueman a sledge Which he did nor return, and after lib had left: I wbnt to Brooks cabin to look for iti but did not find It. Afterwards tnysblf and my brother Hnd Jones Went in on the trail to look for it, but did not commence tiilnok until we bad passed the place Ivherb thb body was found, as It was nearer the babln whbre Truemaii worked. Found sledgb under a piece of bark. William Jiffies; II years old, was the next witness; This boy gave clear evidcncl of which the following are themiiiii items : Knew Roy for six ybarfi; he lived in their house somMlmos and was good friends with liis father und mother. Never knew of any c|iiurrel between them. Lust saw Roy on 15th January, on thb road opposite, Antoine Appcl's barn. He was going up to where he was living with George Trueman. My father Was loading hay in the barn to take to Blaine, and did not see Roy that day. My father had a rifle that he got from Rlr. Ce'rty; und round bullets for it [like one here shown him] The riflle wns nt homo thediiy the skull was found, but Truemah had it before. There were two rifles at home the clay the skull was fiiund.
