badly frightened
The different exciting episodes occurred
between four and 7.30 O'Clock this morn

by Selectman Fogg,. who disarmed the
murderer after he had shot Mr.. Gates
and Sheriff Hamlin. He was given a
hearing and removed to Jail at once.
| Monahan, who was formerly an employe
| of the Grand Trunk, has been in the habit
of wandering about the freight yard
| He was there last night, and meeting

other employees say the affair could hard

named Bryant. went to their hunks in
