Although they refuse to make any definite state- ment the authorities of Northern Dun- das practically confirm a report, cur- rent throughout the countryside, that they are in a position to lay their hands on 'the murderer of James Laushway, of Mountain. Laushway was murdered in bed during the night of June lst, 1907. His murder a¥oused the whole country. and some of the most astute deteo- tives worked on the case, but a clue to the identity of the murderer was not forthcoming. After a time the murder was placed on the list of un- solved crimes. Just how the present clue was fur- nished is difficult to say, It js said that the man who killed Laushway has confessed, and that the reason the authorities are reluctant to make known his name is that he involves others whom he declares paid him to commit the crime, The authorities, it is understood, believe they will be able to catch thost impliested in a short time, The Lauskway murder is still fish in the memory of Dundas residents.

Fully 200 persons have been reported missing, and the known dead to-day number more than fifty.

Nothing, Mr. Riddell declared, could be further from the truth than the statement attribut- ed to Sir Henry Pellatt. BLOWN INTO AIR.

Laushway had been seen the pre vious evening by Alpheus Crowder, a neighbor. The suicide theory was pro- pounded, but dismissed as the 'result of evidence given at the inquest. The coroner's jury brought in a verdict that James Laushway came to his death by a bullet in the hands of some person or persons unknown,' There was a good deal of specula- tion regarding the location of Laush- way's money which was supposed to be buried. A week after the murder, on Saturday, Constable Johnston Boyd found a glass jar containing $3,- 110 in bank bills and four promissory notes amounting to $1140, hidden be- neath the stairway in the little house where James Laushway had come to his mysterious death. The money was in six 100-dollar bills, 121 (wenties, seven tens and four fives. The green backs were mouldy and damp, as if they had been packéd away long time.
