suicide .f sudge James D. co,s.

PITrsFIELD, Mass, August d.
Pittsfeld was terribly shocked
about Z o'clock this evening by the
news that James d. Colt, of the
Massachusetts Supreme Bench, had
been found dead in his office, he
having committed suicide by shoot
ing himself through the head.
Judge Colt has had for years pri-
yatc Office in a room connected
with the Berkshire County Savings
Bank, where he had library and,
other accommodations for study.
He entered his study about 3 O'Clock
this afternoon, and at four o'clocl
when Treasurer Daniel Day left th,
bank, the Judge was sitting at hi
table with books and writing pape
before him. About $50 D. m
Treasurer Day returned to the banl
and entered the Judges room. H, !
found Judge Colt living on the floor,
and near his right hand was Smith
Il Wesson Revolver, which belonged
to the bank. Mr.. Day at once sum
moned medical aid, but life was ex-
tinct, though the body was quite
warm. Judge Colt was born in
Pittsfield, October s, 1916. He was
appointed to the Supreme Bench in
1865. He had filled several impor-
tant office, and at the time of his
death was a trustee of Williams
College. For some time he had
been in very bad health.

If our friends in the country should be
approached by agood talker, who has some
new machine for sale of which he desires to
make the farmer an agent, it would be just
as well to decline the honor. Oftener than
otherwise it brings trouble. A band of just
such swindlers has been Thoroughly working
Ohio. They have patent rakes, pitchforks,
pumps, corn-huskers, etc They appoint
rich farmers agents, supplying them with
machines without any trouble, and only ask
them to sign note payable at the nearest
bank for $50 when they have sold 1925
worth of the implements. This contract is
so written that the end is torn off and leaves
a good straight note for 1926, payable at the
bank. at 6 per cent. interest. A large num-
Der of farmers have walked up and paid the
amount, and charged it up TO experience, pro-
fit an d loss.-Er.

The general public will be glad to know
that a proposition is pending whereby
small sums of money can be sent in letters
under postal order regulations. The order
viii be printed on a slip of bank note paper,
and its peculiar feature is a triple row of
numbers on one end, so arranged that by
punching out the proper figures and sum
from one cent to five dollars may be ex-
pressed. These orders are to be sold for a
low sum, probably five cents each, and the
postmaster in receiving the amount to be
forwarded, will punch out the correspond
ing figures and give the order to the sender.
The plan is much cheaper and more conve-
nient than the present postal order, which,
however, it is not intended to supersede.
The new design is only for small amounts,
and will be limited TO five dollars, while a
still smaller one, limited to $3.50, is also
contemplated.

40 armed and masked men attacked
the Jail here early this morning for
the purpose of lynching two broth
ers, Hardin by name, who were in
custody for the murder of one Con-

guards overpowered, but not until
one of the latter had passed his pis-
tol to one Of the prisoners in the
cell. John Hoffman, the leader of
the assaulting party, approached the
cell with crowbar to break open
the door, when he was fired upon
by the prisoner who had received
the guards pistol, and mortally
wounded. The mob placed Hoff-
man in a wagon and fled. Mean
while an alarm had been given and
the Sheriff raised a posse and start
ed in pursuit of the mob. 1t is stat.
ed that Hoffman has since died. He
was well.known farmer and was
much respected.

Bad Bady.

CHICAGO, August ia despatch
from Terre Haunt, Ind, to the
Times says : Last night at Cory,
Clay county, Elijah Bady, had a
dispute with Josiah Donham in
regard to some wheat which they
both claimed. 1t was agreed to lay
the matter before referee for settle
ment. While the settlement was
in progress Badly, without provoca-
ton, drew a revolver and shot Dom
ham three times, killing him instant
ly. The assassin was imediately ar
arrested and conveyed to jail at
Brazil. There is strong excitement
in the neighborhood, and strong
probability that Badly will be taken
from the jail and hanged. Mr..
Donham was sixty-five years of age
and possessed the respect and con-
fidence of the entire community.
Bady is only twenty years of age,
but is looked upon as desperate.
