WATERFOWL.
WATERFOWL rs SHOCKED.


One of the most dastardly deeds that
ever took place in this village happened
Friday afternoon September Is, between
and 3 O'Clock, in the south part of our
| town, Poverty street district.
On the main road leading to Wood
bury and Middlebury is the residence of
Charles M. Atwood, who goes by the
familiar name of Stephen. Mr. Atwood,
in company with Nicholas Coyne, went
to neighbours to grind scythe. They
had hardly left when John Grant, q big,
| burly fellow, who had been In the en-
ploy of Guy Porter during the past SUN
mer, entered the house, and finding Mrs
Atwood, an old lady, infirm and lame,
so years old, alone, dragged her from
the kitchen into the sitting room and as
suited her. Mrs Atwood, who Ia yery
feeble, screamed for help when the
wretch grasped her throat and choked
her nearly to death. She recovered
somewhat and told him to leave the
house, saying that her husband and
Coyne would be in shortly. He releaeed
his hold somewhat, and told her that If
she mentioned the least word to anybody
he would kill her. Shortly after this
her husband and Coyne returned, and Mr.
Atwood started at once for the center to
get the fellow arrested. He had hardly
left the house when the brute returned
and asked Coyne to shave him, which
the latter declined. Last evening COM
mitment papers were made out, and
Sheriff Scott started in pursuit with an
other man, who knew Grant. They
found him in company with others play
ing cards in one of the saloons in Water
bury. Sheriff Scott had taken the pre-.
caution to get an officer from police
headquarters and Grant was landed in
the lookup over night. The next morn
ing the sheriff brought the prisoner to
WATERFOWL. The trial took place before
Justice of the Peace Ell. M. Hickcox at
Town hall, at IL o'clock Saturday, Sep
TENDER II. The news had spread and
soon crowds had gathered to take look
at the prisoner, who was handcufed to
John Atwood, son of the woman on
whom Grant tried to commit the assault
He is most repulsive man of gigantic
frame with q british look about him
AS the old lady was too feeble to be
brought into court, Justice Hickcox ad
journed the court to Mrs Atwood's resi-
depce, where the trial was continued al
1890. Mrs Atwood was so overcome
that she couldn't bear to see the prisoner
and she requested Justice Hockcox not
to be compelled to have him long In
sight. She told her story In a straight
forward manner, being interrupted time
and again by sobs and cries, 81 she re-
lated the different incidents, how he
choked her and dragged her about the
room. The prisoner was taken back tc
Town hall again, where Justice Hickco1
bound him over under bond OF $500 fol
trial at the next session of the Superior
COURT American.
