 The quiet town of Holland was star tied Monday afternoon to find that a nlur- der had been committed, within it's bord- CTS, the victim being Angelo Aborn and the perpetrater of the deed John Hunter. Both parties lived in the Lord district in the north west part of the town. Hunter married AbOrn's sister and their houses are close together, and for many years there has been family feud that has been very severe at times. Hunter says he did not intend to kill Aborn, but only meant to frighten him, but finding that he had done more than that he went back home, left his gun and started for Holland street, and told Deputy Sheriff Price what l he had done: Pfice@dodbted his state ment, as he thought he had been drinking, but took him to the jail, and after con- sulting Jailor Brown and Grand Juror Niles decided to let him go, and he started for home. However, 8 few minutes later, Deputy Price with G. F. Kibbe went, tc the house of Hunter and saw the situa- tion, found Aborn lying by the side of the road, dead. They immediatly drove back and arrested Hunter. The coroner's court and investigation took place Tues. day morning at the court house. Hunter was tried before Justice E. $. Agard, and was put to plea for murder in the first degree, and plead not guilty. He was therefore held over for the next term of superior court without bonds. FLORA. ASHFORD.

Early learning the trade of shoe making, he resided at Grafton, Mass. West Woodstock, Conn, and Uxbridge, | Mass, working at his. trade in those places, and located at Westford about 1859, continuing his work in same busi- ness until the closing out of the shoe in- dustry at Westford about 1858, and then entered the employ of the Westford glass works, there remaining until the close ot the industry in 1873.
