    Notes 
    • LESTER B. HARTMAN MURDERED, Said to have been killed while hunting in the Far West.---Our Groveland correspondent writes us that George S. Ewart received a telegram on Sunday stating that Lester B. Hartman had been murdered in the southern part of Oregon, where he had gone a few months ago. His sister, Mrs. John Cooley of Groveland, immediately wired to have the remains sent to her. Mr. Hartman was the son of the late John Hartman of Groveland and was as well known as any man in the Genesee Valley. He was a good horseman and crack shot and it is said he was on a hunting expedition when killed. No further particulars have yet been received.

    • THE REMAINS OF LESTER B. HARTMAN
      Will Reach Dansville To-Morrow From the Far West.
      MURDERED IN OREGON
      The Funeral to be Held Sunday Will be Largely Attended — Deceased Very Prominent in This Section - His Murderer in Custody.
      The remains of Lester B. Hartman, of Groveland, will he brought to Dansville to-morrow over the D., L., & W. Railroad. The remains were shipped, from Grant's Pass, Oregon, last Sunday. It took a week to get the remains from the place where they were found in the mountains of Grant's Pass. He was brought over 235 miles down the mountains on a pack mule. The funeral will take place from Altmeyer & Wilson's undertaking parlors in Dansville Sunday afternoon, with internment in Greenmount cemetery. This will be one of the largest attended funerals which Livingston county has ever had, for deceased was a member of many clubs and a conspicuous figure in all New York state sports, especially on the, tracks and hunting circles, being a member of the Genesee Valley Club. The bearers will be Hon. George Ewart of Groveland, J. J. Bailey, H. W. Delong, Dr. W. B. Preston, Dr. A. P. Burkhart, of Dansville. The particulars pertaining to the death of Mr. Hartman are as follows: He was many miles back in the mountains in Oregon on a hunting expedition. It seems a sum of money had been sent him by his sister before his start and for this reason alone he was undoubtedly murdered. Deceased was shot by some one in front of him with a heavy rifle, the ball entering the lower regions of his lungs, causing almost instantaneous death. The person who did this foul murder is now under arrest in the West awaiting examination. Hartman leaves one sister. Mrs. Catherine Hartman Cooley, who resides on the old homestead in Groveland. Deceased was the only son of John Hartman and was about 36 years of age.
