THE DUMMERsToN TRAGEDY.

The story of the killing of a boy from the
Monson state primary school by Dummers-
ton farmer with whom he was living some %
years ago was much discussed in Brattleboro
recently and several Dnmmerston men re-
called the excitement caused by the disap-
peararce of the boy. According to the recol-
lection of a neighhor the boy was about IL
years old. and was in the habit of going to
the barn to sleep while not at work, One
day the farmer came to dinner, and in an
swer as to the whereabouts of Timothy the
man replied to his wife that the boy was all
right. His disappearance was never ac-
counted for satisfactorily until the farmer
confded his secret to Brattleboro lawyer
and one of his neighbors.
The confession is said to be substantially
as follows: The farmer in fit of anger killed
the boy bv blow on the head with an iron
bar. He buried the body under brush fence
on his farm, which is about two miles from
the man road. The disappearar ce of the
boy is recalled by many of the old residents
of Dummerston. They also report the mys-
terious disappearance of one Glynn, who
lived at the same place in Dummerston,
some years before the boy and who disap-
peared as suddenly.
The farmer is said to be an eccentric and
violent dispostioned man, who told the
| story of the death of the hoy to ease his con.
| science. The farmers first wife committed
| suicide.
