o'clock This afternoon, W. II. Arbuckle,
living at East Montpelier village, about
six miles from Montpelier. borrowed large
navy revolver, of number twenty calibre,
and went to the blacksmith shop OF his
brother-in-law, George Bancroft, and shot
him three times, the last shot, as he was
running across the road, passing through
his head and killing him Instantly. lie
then went into the grIst mill, nearly oppo-
site the blacksmith shop, and twice shot
George Short. young man about IL years
of age, one shot passing through
an arm and the other through
his lung. lie is now alive but
is considered dangerously wounded. Ar
buckle then went TO his house near by and
informed his mother and brother OF what
be had done. and told them he had made
will and intended to do the Gecd for some
time His brother then said to him, There
comes the officer lie replied that they
never would take him alive, and went out
oi he back door and shot himself through
IL, heart, dying almost Instantly.
THE MURDERER,
Arbucklc was about % years old and sin
Gle, is we'll known in this section, and,
except as being known to have violent
temper and Of rather a revengeiul nature,
was considered otherwise as an industrious
and intelligent fellow.
HIS VICTIM.
Bancroft was good mechanic and, with
tie exception of being rather violent IN
connection with his family affairs, was
good citizen lie was about forty years of
age and has been married to his present
vile about two years.
THE MOTIVES FOR THE CRIME.
Arbuckle's motive for shooting Short is
said to be ON account of Short being engaged
to a young lady that Arbuckle formerly KEEP.
company with. and on account of a coils
ion of teams. and the breaking OF wagons
etc. IL is not definitely known what the
real cause was for shooting Bancroft, his
brothor-in-law, unless it be that he was
not kind to his wife as he ought to be. and
a natural inclination on the part of Ar
buckle to be little quarrelsome.

RECKLESS USE OF FIRE ARMs.-A few
evenings since. as Mr.. A. S. Mears. who
has store on Winooski Avenue, just south
of North street, and lives in rooms on the
second floor, was at tea, he heard the re-
port of a gun or pistol. folio by the
crash of bullet into the store window be-
low. On investigation, he found that the
bullet after entering the window on the
east side had broken some lamp chimneys,
glanced On the shelving, struck in another
part of the room and then fallen to the
floor. 1t was No. 3 cartridge bullet, fit
ting a caliber of 100 of an inch. I'm
doubtedly it was fortcnate that no one was
in the store at the time. There is as yet no
clue to the person firing the shot, nor can
any cause for the occurrence be assigned
other than that Of a reckless use OF fire
arms, probably in the hands of boys.
