         Murder - A despatch says that Monday forenoon at
       Chapman Plantation, twelve miles from Presque Isle,
       JOHN SWANBACK and JOHN HANSON got into a quarrel
       about a fence. Each got his gun and both fired at
       the same time. SWANBACK shot HANSON in the breast
       and HANSON shot SWANBACK in the arm. HANSON died
       in ten minutes. Officer Barto has gone to arrest
       SWANBACK.
