The MaIpoIe A..auIt Ca.e

"A press despatch of last Monday even
ing announcing the critical condition of Dep
uty Sheriff Walker, gave these additional
facts about the assault of Chas Jennings up
on him On Monday of last week Deputy
Sheriff John s. Walker of Alstead N. H
went to the farm dwelling of Charles A. Jen,
nings in Walpole to assist Mrs. Jennings in
removing clothing, etc, she having started
divorce proceedings because Of assaults from
her drinking husband. Jennings, who had
been intoxicated for two days, warned him
not touch the things and when he did as
saulted Walker, striking him two blows with
an axe, one near the temple and the other
shattering his arm at the elbow. He after
ward got the officer down and choked him
Jennings escaped into Vermont, but was cap
tured next day near Dummerston. At the
hearing in Walpole on Thursday he was held
in $4,000, being taken TO Jail at Keene. 1t
was at frat thought that Walkers recovery
was probable, with the loss of his arm. 1t
now looks as il it would prove a case of muir.
der. Walker has been deputy sheriff Of
Cheshire county many years, is 90 years old,
widely known and popular, having wife and
one son. Jennings is 80 years old, has n wife
and one child, his mother, two sisters aud
one brother living in Walpole. They are
people Of wealth. Jennings's property will
| be sold at auction on the Goth to satisfy civil
suits.
The Bellows Falls Times said yesterday OF
! Sheriff Walkers condition I'VE learn by
telephone this morning that Mr. Walker
passed q more comfortable day yesterday,
and though hopes are entertained that he
may pull through, he is of course yet in q
very critical condition. His arm is perma
nently disabled and II is not yet certain thai
it can be saved, even in that condition.

The February Flood.

The distribut on of rain fall in New Eng
land between the 10th aud 18th of February
is shown by an interesting paper issued by
the New England meteorological society. In
the worst visited portions the downpour was
unprecedented, while the melting of the large
bodies OF snow and ice on the ground helped
swell the disastrous floods. Over eight inches
OF rain fell in the region covering one half OF
Rhode Island and the southeastern part OF
Connecticut while in the area embracing
about five-ninihs of MassaohuF etts, Connection
and Rhode Island the fall varied from to
inches, over $50, 900, 600, 600 galloAs of water
being poured down, it is estimated, from the
clouds. Adding to this the melted snow and
ice, the volume of water that swelled the
streams was enough to cover the area men
toned to a depth Of 10 inches. The damage
was confined, however, to a comparatively
small part of the flooded region, the rivers
being affected only near their mouths. Tn
precipitation in Vermont was but little above
the average.
