| Surprised "Party."-

A Surprised "Party." y."-During a
temporary cessation in the drill of Com
pany D last week Thursday evening,
which Capt. c. M. Bonett was conduct
ing in his usual sodierly and efficient
manner, one of the boys stepped from
the ranks and in a graceful little speech
told the captain not only of their warm
friendship for him as a man, but of their
wish to show him their appreciation OF
his ability and kindly interest in them in
some tangible form. Whereupon Lieut..
Crosby handed the thoroughly surprised
captain handsome sword fittiugly in
scribed. Capt. Bonett's many friends all
echo the hope expressed by Lieut.. Crosby
that the new sword may never be en-
gagged in any more bloody strife than
has so far been the captains lot, al
though all feel sure that out country's
flag will be honorahly defended with the
captains drawn sword should occasion
require it. The sword is on exhibition in
Bngham's window and receives much
admiration from passers by.

Another rlurder.- The shock of the
Wheelock murder is hardly over before
another terrible affair o! the same nature
is reported from Wells River. Monday
morning ]. Eggeston, aged so, and John
Evans, .Jr., aged 25, met in their teams
near the Four Corners, Newbury, about
four miles from Wells River. They re-
fused to turn out for each other, where
upon Evans struck Eggleston's horse
and a fight resulted, Who struck the
first blow is not known, but Evans
knocked Eggleston senseless with his
fist, pounded and kicked him and left
him lying in the road He then went
home, took another team and came to
Wells River and tried to complain of him
self, but the justice would do nothing
until he knew more of the matter so he
started for home. In the meantime Eg-
gleston had been carried to Lon Bovce's,
where he died in a short time. Boyce
came to the village and notified the au-
thorities, and Deputy Johnson arrested
Evans and placed him in the lookup.
Mr.. Eggleston leaves a wife. Evans has
no family other than parents and sisters.
