 The Recent Shooting Case In Bran. ford.
 Branford is stirred up over the outcome of
 shooting affair which happened there only l short time ago. The parties concerned
 were Swedes. Charles Anderson was shot in
 the neck by E1of Swanson on June 30, and
 last Saturday died from the wound. The two had boarded with family over Robin son & Foote's store at the corner of Main and Rogers streets. In family squabble
 some time ago Swanson was turned from the house. For this he determined to have re- venge, and when Anderson called to him from window few days later he sprang in to the house, exchanged several hot words and deliberately shot Anderson in the neck with a 32-calibre revolver. In g few days Anderson died. Swanson was not molested and accidental shooting was entered as the cause of death.
 The body received little care, although at the coroner's orders it was to remain with. out burial until yesterday, he supposing that the remains were either embalmed or that they had been placed on ice. Such was not the case, however, and the stench which came from the house was horrible.
 The health officer was called in at last and the body put into an uncovered grave. Swanson appeared cast down since Ander
 sons death and has fled from search of Sher-
 if Nettleton. Some think he has thrown himself into the river, others that he made ' directly for New York, where his mother and father are said to have just landed at
 Castle Garden. A close search is being made for him. Anderson was twenty five years old and laborer at the lock shop.
