THE BRATTLEBoRo CONTINGENT


Brattleboro has every reason to feel
proud of the part borne by her soldiers
and other citizens in Wednesdays memo
rabe celebration at Bennington. Includ-
ing the Estey Guard, Fuller Battery, Beau
seant commandery of Knights Tempar,
Palestine canton of Patriarchs Militant,
and First Regiment band, and the numer-
GUS citizens who were there as individual
observers or to aid i'm committee work, the
Brattleboro contingent was probably larger
than was contributed by any town outside
Bennington.
Fuller Battery suffered nothing in the
great parade by reason of Its comparison
with the visiting battery from the regular
army, but on the contrary the Battery and
its commander were the recipients of
marked recognition by applause at almost
every point on the line of march,
AT the exercises at the monument the
Estey Guard was given the post of honor
in their detail to preserve the lines and
keep back the crowd which surged up to-
ward the speakers stand. In this position
they We're stationed close by the President
and other distinguished guests. At times
their task was no easy one, for the crowd
grew uneasy in the hot sunshine, and there
were the usual number of men in it who
were bound to force their way and ''see
the President whether or no.
Beauseant commandery turned ont with

ty suffered nothing by comparison with the

How lie Was Found.

Monday evening Mrs Warden, while
looking for some chickens i'm the barnyard
discovered a small opening in the under
pinning, which she thought might lead to
the chickens hiding-place. She removed
a small board and found on the inside, an
empty Jelly tumbler and, further in, Il
cans, which had recently contained salmon,
oysters peaches and other substantial eat
ables. There were also empty wine and
beer bottles.
Wednesday morning f. W. Davidson
and y. A. Frost made further investiga-
tions under the barn. finding more bottles
and formidable bludgeon about the shape,
but somewhat longer than a policeman's
club.
Knowing that the cellars of several pri-
vate families in the village had been robbed
of eatabes they visited these people and
found beyond all question that the goods
came from there. and farther, that some
had been taken as recently as Aug. 10.
Wednesday night Prof. G.. II. Wtcher
and Sheriff II. G. Brown watched the prem
ses. At about o'clock. while they were
hid in some corn in the garden. man
whom they first supposed to be Warden,
came towards them TO some apple trees
within ten feet of where they stood. Says
Prof. Witcher-''I thought it was Warden,
but as he came nearer thought ! recog-
nized Almy's walk. He was bare-footed,
his pants were torn and he looked pale and
thin He had a bag with him and filled it
while he ate ravenouSly. After a little
while he eisurely and unsuSpectingly walk
ed back to the barn and passed around the
eastern side. That was the last we saw of
him"

should have a naval reserve battalion on
Lake Champlain, the appropriations avail

ample for this purpose. Commander
Brown of Brattleboro, now on the naval

ALMY CAPTURED.
The Murderer Taken at Hanover, n. H.,

At the Very Home of the Girl whom lie
shot In Cola BLOOD.
Frank c. Amy, who murdered Christie
Warden in cold blood on the evening of
July II, in lonely spot near her home in
Hanover, y. H., was arrested yesterday.
He was secreted in the barn at the Warden
homestead. where he had been ever since
the murder, and the story of his discovery
and arrest is no less sensational than that
of the murder. The way in which his
hiding place was discovered is thus de-
scribpd:
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1891-08-21
Almy's Whereabouts for the Last Two
Months.

According to the story told by Amy he
was in hiding in and about Hanover for a
month before he committed the murder.
He processes that he did not intend to kill
the girl, but only to get chance to talk
with her The first shot, through her head,
which killed her instantly, he pretends was
accidental. After doing the deed he went
at once into hiding in the Warden barn,
and from there he watched all the move
ments of the family, saw the funeral, etc.
There he has remained ever since, going
out at night to forage for food. Several
times, he says, he has gone and placed
flowers on Christie's grave.
On Tuesday night, after he knew his en-
trance to his hiding place had been dis
turbed, he started of and went as far as

The Attempt to neneh Amy In The Hay.

ne company OF ~ men, VINO were sum
moned to dislodge Amy from the barn at
early daylight, was rapidly increased as
the news spread that the whereabouts of
the murderer had been found. After a
short discussion of ways and means a par
ty entered the main barn, with which nu-
merous sheds and outbuildings are con-
nected, and began to pitch over the hay on
the high NOV over the COW stalls. After
a little time some short hay. which had
evidently been cut with a knife, was reach
ed and directly there came from beneath
the hay a number of pistol shots rap
idly fired, though the refugee could not be-
seen. At this the Searchcrs beat a retreat,
all except one, plucky young student al
the agricultural college Charles +. llew-
lit, who returned AlmN fire from his own
pistol until his cartridges were exhausted,
when he plunged down the NOV and out
the door. As he did so final shot from
Almy grazed his face.

except to call out threat of instant death
for any one who approached him.
Finally, however. Amy asked for con
ference with John Fuller, the superintend-
ent of the college farm. Fuller responded
to his request and went to the opening
leading from the main barn to the OK barn,
where Amy was seated on the hay, with
big revolver in each hand Amy told
Mr.. Fuller that he had killed Christie, that
he had been hiding there ever since the
deed, threatened to shoot himself, asked
for advice, said all he wanted was protec-
ton and fair trial, etc.
Mr.. Fuller advised him to talk with
States Attorney Mitchell who went in at
Amy'S request. 70 him he promised to
surrender if he was guaranteed protection
and a fair trial. This the official promised
him, and in the meantime the excited
crowd outside were urged to restrain them
selves and let the law take its course

TILE ENOAMPMENT

The militia encampment which closes at
Bennington to-day has been one of the
best ever held in the state. The camp has
been model of tidness and good order
and the discipline has been excellent.
The writer, who has seen many of the
musters of recent years, can recall none of
which this has been so broadly and strictly
true. 1t is the testimony of all observers
that the regiment has never been in better
condition than it is to-day-thanks i'm a
very large measure to the soldierly ideas
and the vigilance and executive ability of
Col j. j. Estey.
The observant correspondent of the
Springfield Republican, detailed to attend
the encampment and celebration. wrote to
his paper on Tuesday night: "The four
days in camp have shown that of the y
companies i'm the regiment the Estey Guard
of Brattleboro is on the whole the banner
company. Their marching shows better
form than that of any other company and
their work and general conduct while in
camp is altogether exemplary. No more
enthusiastic captain or harder worker than
Capt. f. w. Childs can be found in the
state He succeeds i'm maintaining year
after year high standing of proficiency in
discipline and also in keeping the tone of
his company on a high plane.
1t is evident that the Estey Guard have
the good will of the regiment, and we
think the other companies of the regiment
all cheerfully concede to Co. | the SUI
periority here claimed for them. and regard
the "ESteys' as a model to emulate The
company entertained the camp with fine
display of fireworks Monday evening.
Fuller Battery has never been in so high
a state of discipline as now. Its evolu-
tions have been centre of attraction on
the camp ground, and the beautiful new
steel rifles, kept with immaculate care and
neatness, have been universally admired
Secretary Proctor called on Col. Fuller at
his headquarters Tuesday afternoon and
Wednesday morning Lieut.-Gov. Halle of
Massachusetts and party of distinguished
civilians from that state, were interested
spectators of the battery movements
Wednesday evening GOV. Russell was a
guest in the battery camp.
The shooting for the centennial trophy
and Webb medals was the leading event of
Monday. BY the rules of the contest each
company was represented by five men. and
each man had five shots. The trophy,
which was won last year by the BarreS.
went this year to the Mortified company,
who scored a total of 9S points. Lieut..
Lockln of the Richford company took the
first Webb medal, Private Ringer of the
Mortified company the second medal, and
Private Whitman of the Richford company
the third, the winners scoring -, u and
u points respectively. The Estey Guard
ranked third in the list of companies Fol
lowing was its string:

Ills Final Capture.

Almy, however. did not keep his word,
and there was further parleying and at
tempts to dislodge him. Finally Mr. Full
Ter went to him again AT Almy's request,
and the final result of it all was that Amy
gave himself up, surrendering one revolv-
or TO Mr.. Fuller and the other Ia Mr.
Mitchell. His surrender finally came some
time about noon. Examination of his
body showed that two of young Hewitt's
bullets had taken effect, one lodging in his
thigh and the other breaking the large bone
of the leg below the knee. A rifle shot
fired by some person outside the barn had
made notch in the scalp on top of his
head. His hiding place was about 20 feet
deep under the hay.
1t was attempted to take Amy to the
village in closed carriage, but the crowd
became so angry and excited at the pros
pect of losing sight of him that theN cur
tains had to be raised. He was taken to
the Wheelock House in Hanover village,
where he was placed under strong guard
and his wounds were dressed. Officers
with loaded pistols kept back the excited
crowd at the foot of the stairs. His ar
raignment will take place today if his CON
dition permits.

GODS MUSIC.

Since ever the world was fashioned,
Wster and air and sod,
A music of divers meaning
Has flowed from the hand Of God.
In valley and gorge and upland,
On stormy mountain height,
He makes him harp Of the forest,
He sweeps the chords with might.
He puts forth his hand to the ocean,
He speaks and the waters flow;
Now in a chorus Of thunder,
Now IN a cadence low.
He touches the waving flower bells,
He plays on the woodland streams,
A tender song like mother
Sings to her child In dreams
But the music divinest and dearest,
Since ever the years began,
Is the manifold passionate music
He draws from the heart OF man.

The Man with a Loud Voice.


As safe rule the man who howls at
his dog in the field may be put down as
poor sportsman, and the dog that is
howled at as o poor dog. For the
matter of that, the dog which finds game
for noisy master usually does about
what his dog sense tells him to. The
very fact of the mans noisy demonstra-
tions implies that he cannot make his
dog obey. With dogs as with horses.
the master who handles them best is
not he whose voice can be heard in the
next county. The quiet control of horse
or dog is the only true mastery.
There is nothing to be said for noise
in the field. Properly trained, dog
will obey as readily and as inteligently
and as effectively a motion of hand, or
gun, OF head, as the bawling and roar
ing of Boanerges. 1t is true that the
dog exhorter may thereby secure
needed and beneficial degree of lung ex-
ercise; but he is not at all likely to Sc
cure so large a count of game. Of all
sounds that startle the birds that of the
human voice is most certain to alarm
them. Every expert gunner knows this
and keeps still. The shouter is tyro;
or If he shouts year after year he is GER
tainly poor sportsman, and when III
company with others who do not share
his noisy proclivities, he is voted a gen.
eral nuisance. Many grouse has been
lost for no other reason than because it
was startled and flushed by i'll timed

Is Disease a Punishment for Sin2
The following advertisement, pub
lished by prominent western patent
medicine house, would indicate that
they regard disease as a punishment for
sin:
'Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure severe cold? We will tell
you. To cure cold quickly, it must
be treated before the cold has become
settled in the system. This can al
ways be done if you choose to, as
nature in her kindness to man gives
timely warning and plainly tells you in
natures way, that as a punishment
for some indiscretion, you are to be
afflicted with cold unless you choose
to ward it off by prompt action. The
first symptoms OF cold, in most cases,
is dry, loud cough and sneezing. The
cough is soon followed by profuse
watery expectoration and the sneezing
by profuse watery discharge from. the
nose. In severe cases there is thin
white coating on the tongue. What to
do? 1t is only necessary to take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in double
doses every hour. That will greatly
lessen the severity of the cold and in
most cases will effectually counteract
it, and cure what would have been a
severe cold within one or two days time.
