Death Of John p. Squire,

The Vermonter who owned the Third
Largest Pork Packing Business In the
World.
Another noted Vermonter passed away
in the death Of John p. Squire, the million
aire pork packer, At his home in Arlington,
Mass, last Saturday. Pneumonia was the
cause Of death after an illness OF two DAYS.
Mr.. Squire was born in Weathersfeld, this
state in 1919, his parents being Peter and
Esther Squire. When only 10 years old
young Squire found employment in the vii
lage store at West Windsor. where he laid
the foundation for the business capacity
which won him such remarkable success.
IL was here that he met the young woman
who afterward became his wife, Miss Kate
Orvis, the daughter Of his employer. After
leaving West Windsor Mr.. Squire attended
the academy at Unity, N. H., Of which
Rev. A. A. Miner, now the celebrated Uni
versalist preacher of Boston, was then prin-
cipal. Mr.. Squire taught school for a short
time in Cavendish and then went to Bos-
ton, where he worked for four years for
Nathaniel Robbins in the Faneuil hall
market. In 1912, on capital of less than
$500, most Of which was borrowed, MIR.
Squire established his packing house.
The business, at first small and confined
to the sale Of hog products. grew to be the
third largest pork packing business in the
country, the amount Of business done an
nually being from $15, 900, 900 to S1S, 000,-
000 May l, 1912, found John p. Squire
his own porter, his own cashier and his
own bookkeeper; May /, 1892, finds him
at the head Of 1000 employees, whose yearly
pay roll is 100000, while the great rail-
way and steamship lines receive an equal
sum for "backing" the 100000 hogs he
slaughters yearly over this country and
Europe. In 1855 Mr.. Squire bought a
tract of land in East Cambridge and here
his establishment has since heen located
Besides owning a great deal If personal
property, Mr.. Squire owned about $2.0O0,-
600 worth Of real estate. and was rPputed
to be worth in the aggregate 5000 900.
Mr.. Squire has always been one of the
hardest working business men in the vicin-
| ity Of Boston. His first years ledger, to-
gether with his other books and papers,
are still preserved as heir-looms in the fam
lily.
In the fall of 1891 great part Of Mr..
Squire's factory was burned down, and
with characteristic energy, while the en-
gines were still playing on the ruins, he
wired to his building contractor TO come on
and begin at once the reconstruction Of the
burned buildings. May l, 1892, was cele-
brated the 50th anniversary of the estsb-
lishment Of Mr.. Squire's factory, when he
and his sons received congratulations from
all over this country, as well as from Eu-
rope. On that occasion, among other val
liable presents, he received a tea set of solid
gold from the railroads between Boston
and Chicago.
Mr.. Squire had IL children, nine of whom
are now living, two of the sons, Frank o.
and Fred P. Squire, being partners in the
firm, the former having been in charge OF
of the business since 1873.

A Remarkable Trial,
with a Short History OF the War OF the
| "Rustlera" and the Cattlemen.

win n snort History OF the War OF the
"RustIers" and the Cattlemen.
The trial of cattlemen now in progress
at Cheyenne, Wyo., is one of the most re-
markable on record. The individuals
against whom charges Of murder and ar
son are brought were held last year in
bonds of $40, 900 each, an aggregate of
81 $4,000 for all. Among them were
millionaire ranch owners, a state senator,
several ex-members of the territorial legis-
lature, two Harvard graduates and several
young Englishmen, who came to this coun-
try to enjoy the excitement of frontier life.
Nearly half of this number, however,
were hired fighters from Texas and other
border states.
Early in the spring of last year the
wealthy cattle owners of the state, tired of
the depredations of "rustlers," or cattle
thieves, organized campaign TO punish
their enemies in johnson county. Major
| Frank Wocott, the nominal commander of
the party, is a wealthy ranch owner. I'm
Outstanding the desperate nature of the
work on hand, apparently, he sent his wife
and daughter to Paris for year and made
his will With him were State Senator
John w. Tisdale, who since the raid has
married Mrs. w. w. Corlett, the richest
widow in Wyoming; 4. NJ. WhitcOmb, a
pioneer and Indian fighter, who is "a years
old, and who has grown rich in ranching,
and a number of others who have large
herds on the ranges or are intimately as
ISOLATED with others in the business. The
Fighters for revenue only" were hired
for s. a day and various perquisltes de-
pending on their service.
After the fight at Nolan's ranch, where
Nate Champion and Jack Ray, famous
rusters, were killed, the whole county,
which seems TO have been largely in SYM
pathy with the rustlers, became aroused,
and the cattlemen's party was only rescued
from humiliation by United States caval
ry. The troops were ordered to the scene
by the secretary of war at the the request
of Gov. Barber as the militia of the state
had been disbanded.
BY change of venue the trial takes place
in Cheyenne instead of johnson county
where public sentiment against the prison
ers was considered too strong to obtain 8
fair verdict. The feeling against the 2.
prisoners now at Cheyenne is still very
bitter, and the judge has already found Il
necessary to threaten imprisonment fo
any one who brings a weapon into court
There is much difficulty in obtaining un
biased jurors, and the number of men sub
ject to service in the county may yet be ex
hausted and the question of summOninl
women be considered.

Big Fire in Boston.
Loss sl,e5O,OOO---A Reporter Killed
and Many FIremen Injured.

The largest fire in Boston since Thanks
giving day, 1880, broke out Tuesday in the
basement Of four-story building, 2l9 to
221 Federal street, owned by Hecht Bros,
wool dealers, who occupied the greater part
Of the premises. The fire burned over some
$4,000 feet of land and involved loss es-
timated at nearly S1.050,0 The cause
of the fire has not been definitely ascertain
ed. The network of electric wires In the
vicinity greatly impeded the fremen in
their work. The oily nature of the fuel
caused the flames to spread rapidly, and
before they had been conquered, four fine
blocks on Federal and Summer streets
were in ruins and their contents, largely
wool and leather, were consumed. Nearly
all of the firms carried large stocks, and II
is estimated that 100000 pounds of wool
were destroyed. The heat caused 10y this
vast quantity of oily material was intense.
Nj firemen were injured besides three
spectators. The saddest incident of all
connected with the fire was the killing of
Joseph +. Barker, Transcript reporter,
who was crushed by falling wall.

More Canadian Scandal.

More political scandals are promised at
the next session of the Canadian parlia-
ment. Mr.. J. Israel Tarte, the newly
elected member for L'Islet, has stated his
intention to impeach several Of the judges
of the province on the floor of the house.
and that the revelations he will make will
startle the people of Canada. The whole
force Of the government was thrown against
Tarte to prevent his election, and Sir
AdOlphe CarOn, postmaster general, whom
Tarte has accused of boodling, went into
the county and worked against Tarte; the
latter will now attempt to show up CarOn
as cOrruptionist.
