yesterday\u2019s Record, Mr.Westgate was murdered in his office about ten o\u2019clock yesterday moming.Suspicion fell upon Sans-chagrin, who had been seen to enter the office with deceased, and practically every man in the town joined search parties to track down the accused, who escaped to the woods immediately after the murder.Coroner Bachand, of Sherbrooke, was notified and opened an inquest yesterday afternoon.The evidence pointed clearly to Sanschagrln as the murderer, and witnesses were called who testified that accused had made a confession.A verdict was returned accordingly.Soon after the occurrence \u2022 yesterday morning Deputy High Constable Lanctot, who was in Oookshire, communicated the then known facts to the coroner by telephone, who authorized him to arrest the suspected party and procure any assistance and ¦lee weapons if necessary.It was several hours before the murderer was finally brought to bay, end when he saw his fate he attempted to end his life, after receiving a bullet In the foot.The motive for the crime appears co have been some dissatisfaction in regard to wages.The brother of accused told the jury he was not mentally sound, and this opinion was expressed by Dr.Johnson to several people here last night.When the murderer was arrested, about four o'clock, the news rapidly spread, and intense satisfaction was felt that the culprit had been caught.His condition last night was very critical.It was found impossible to extract the bullet from Ms head, and It was feared he would not live, through the night.However, hopes are entertained this morning for his \u201cecovery.Sanschagrln will be removed to the Sherbrooke Gaol If he recovers sufficiently to be able to leave the hospital.Coroner Bachand opened the inquest yesterday afternoon ou the body of Robert Westgate at the residence of Mr.Richard Seale.The jury was composed of P.R.Cromwell, M.P., (foreman) Cyrus M.MacRae, R.Bartholomew, P.A1.Barbeau, .los.Heaton

o\u2019clock snd they were told by one Hessard that he had crossed the river towards the woods.They went towards Snns-chagrin's house not expecting to find him, but as they drove into the yard the man scooted out of the hack door.Witness.jumped out of the auto snd with Ed.Seale followed.They hollered to him to stop and fired a few shots in the air.Hlach time Sans-chagrin shouted back, \"Go to \u2014\u2014 He was running and looked hack every short distance.Witness met accused's brother in the field and he also tried to stop the fugitive.He said: \"This is too had, he Is my brother and acted as though he knew what had happened.\u2019\u2019 The accused had a revolver in his hand which he was swinging.Witness chased him until he got in the woods and had emptied his revolver.Seale could not make his revolver work and in opening it for him witness accidentally shot himself in the hand.They then gave up the chase.Witness knew nothing of the case until they started the chase.He did not see Mr.Westgate until he was being carried across the river.SAW VICTIM AND PRISONER ENTER OFFICE Alphonse Mlgnault, wood sawyer, was in deceased\u2019s employ and had worked with accused all the summer in the mill.About 9.55 that morning Sanschagrln was outside the office and motioned to deceased to go to the office with him.Deceased came out in about two minutes and looked feeble as though about to fall.Witness went to thp wicket in the next room and smelt powder smoke in the office and then went into the office.The door was about half open.Witness did not see accused after the murder.FOUND MR.WESTGATE DEAD Joseph Barlow of Eaton stated he worked in the mill and had been working with Sanschagrin for two months.Witness saw Mr.Westgate and Sanschagrin together when the latter motioned to deceased to go into the office.A little while afterwards he found Westgate dead outside.He went into the office and smelt powder and then telephoned to Dr.Johnson who arrived later.Mig-nault had told witness of the powder smell.Sanschagrin had left the office when witness entered and he did not see him again until he chased him with Bushey.He did not hear any shot fired as the mill was running.Last Monday deceased and Sanschagrin had trouble and there bad been trouble on the previous Friday.The difficulties were over some accounts, Sanschagrin\u2019s brother told him that he had said that morning he would shoot Westgate if he didn\u2019t settle with him.DOCTOR\u2019S EVIDENCE Dr.Johnson deposed that he was called about ten o'clock and found deceased lying on the ground a few feet from the office door.Life was extinct.Blood was oozing from his mouth and left nostril and there was a small amount of blood on the crown of his head.Witness made an autopsy of the body at the direction of the coroner and had extracted a bullet about 32 calibre from the right side.The bullet had entered the left side just underneath the armpit.Death was due to the bullet wound, the bullet having penetrated part of each lung, causing Internal hemorrhage.SHOT IN THE FOOT Mr.E.J.Planche of Cookshire testified to receiving a telephone message that Sanschagrin was in a field on the road from Cookshire going towards the Basin Road.He took a car with his son and Mr.W.T.Oughtred and seeing him in the field, left his car there and headed him off.He shouted to him to atop and

Sanschagrin.PRISONER SHOT HIMSELF IN HEAD After being shot in the foot he put his revolver to his head and shot himself through the right ear.Mr.Andrew picked up the revolver (produced) and they both asked him, \"Why did you shoot Robert Westgate?\u201d Sanschagrln replied.\"Because he owed me money and caused me lota of misery.\u201d He was bleeding terribly.Mr.J.W.Andrew corroborated.The bullet in the foot shattered the bones and Sanschagrin leaped In the air.Ho thought he was going to shoot the chasing party.After shooting himself through the oar he said he would like a priest and a doctor.He was removed to the police station.The enquiry was adjourned at, this point until 7.3(1 at the Osgoode House.BROTHER OF PRISONET!

HOW THE MIDLAND QUEEN WAS SUNK Woman And Baby on Board Probably Saved Crew From Going to The Bottom VESSEL WAS OWNED IN CANADA AND WAS DESTROYED OFF THE COAST OF IRELAND.Toronto, Sept.4.\u2014 (Special) \u2014 When the Midland Queen, a steamer owned by the Canada Steamship Company, Limited, was sent to the bottom of the ocean 75 miles off the Fastnet, by the German submarine U-68, it is just possible that the presence on board the Canadian liner of a woman and her baby saved the crew from being sent to join other submarine victims.For the first time the story of the Midland Queen is being told.On July 21 the Midland Queen, with Captain A.G anion in command, cleared from Sydney, C.iB., for England.All went well un-'til 4.30 on the morning of August 4.Their worst fears were realized at 4.30 a.m.on August 4.The submarine U-68, painted zebra-like in a darkish color and white, rose to the surface a mile and a half astern of the Midland Queen.No sooner had the crew of the steamer been summoned to stations than the German underwater craft opened fire from her deck gun.Like .popping corks she spat three shells at the Midland Queen.One passed between the mainmast and the funnel, but the others dropped short.As the submarine was travelling eighteen knots an hour to the Midland Queen\u2019s nine, the Canadian captain ordered his engineer to shut off steam.As thl steamer was slowing up the captain ordered his crew to take to the boats.The last boatload was just leaving when the submarine came up pretty close with crew ready for action.Mrs.Crossan, the wife of the chief engineer, was then getting down the rope ladder with her tw7elve-months-old babe.Like a mother, she was apprehensive- of the dtmgeiv to- her baby, and, taking the little one in her arms, she waved him before the eyes of the commander of the submarine.The response was that the gun crew were called below and the crew of the Midland Queen, then afloat in two ship\u2019s boats, were ordered to row fifty yards from the steamer.The command was being carried out when Engineer Crossan, whose home is in Toronto, caught sight of the black cook of the Midland Queen shouting piteously for help from the back of the steamer.He had been inadvertently left behind.By this time six shots had been fired from the submarine at the Midland Queen, four astern around the engine room, one amidships and the other near the forepeak.Crossan in his boat approached the submarine and asked permission from the commander to take the cook off.A German officer answered the engineer's salute and told him to get alongside the Midland Queen as quick as possible.No time was wasted, and the cook, in a frantic condition, was taken off.Within seventeen minutes of the firing of the shots the Midland Queen sank, her dynamos running, her whistle blowing and the Union Jack flying.The next day had well advanced and the crews in the boats were well nigh exhausted when the Norwegian steamer Edda hove in sight.Distress signals were shown, and very soon the members of the Midland Queen were taken aboard the Norwegian vessel, from whose captain and crew they received the best of attention until they were reshipped to a British cruiser and taken to Queenstown.Visit Sherbrooke Fair Next Week As Guests ot City Merchants \"Buy in the morn ng and vis t the Pair in the aftern°011 as our guests\u201d is the invitation extended to the buying public of the Eastern Townships by, the merchants -of Sherbrooke.In yesterday\u2019s issue there appeared several interesting advertisements announcing not only the fact that free tickets would be given away with every three dollar purchase, but great money saving bargains as well.In to-day\u2019s paper w 11 be found several new firms, 8nd on Monday the whole selling force of the Sherbrooke merchants will be employed in boosting this sale.This is the lime to buy winter goods.The stocks a.re everywhere complete.Bring your family to the fair, and at the same time do your winter shopping.The afternoons spent at the Fair will drive dull care away^and the best of it all will be that your tickets cost you nothing.Read the advertlseir.i nts very carefully.You should do this every day of the year, hut especially at this time.Unless you buy systematical- The following jjiprchants are making fair week invitation announcements in to-day\u2019s paper: FREE FAIR TICKET ADVTS.IN TO-DAY\u2019S PAPER.R.J.Spearing.J.A.Wiggett & Co.J.E.Poutre.T.Vineberg.Ledoux & Pelletier, McKechnie\u2019s.Edwards\u2019 Furniture Co.J.0.Darche, King Street.McKee Sales & Service Co.ly from advertisements of responsi-;
