ATTEMPTED MURDER. - Walter
Stowe of Bolton Falls is in Jail on a
charge of attempting to murder a
man named Hartman. According
to the testimony of four witnesses
produced by the grand Juror it ap-
pears that Hartman while on his
way to his work Friday morning
again fell in with Stowe, when words
ensued between them resulting in q
fight in which Hartman got the bet
ter of Stowe. Stowe finally called
for quarter and they got up and
shook hands over the matter and
agreed to call the trouble off. Stowe
went on his way toward his work
and later when Hartman followed
as he came near C. S. Morse's barn
on the road Stowe rushed out with
an axe and ran for Hartman. saw
ing he would kill him if he could get
at him. About this time they met
other men going to their work and
Stowe gave up the chase, telling Har-
rlman, however, to go to the office
and get his time check and not ap.
pear on the job again, if he did he
would kill him with anything he
could get hold of. Stowe was held in
$1,000 for his appearance before the
grand jury. 10 default of bail he was
taken to the county Jail at Mont
pelier.

that is there is not another man in

Drowned at Greensboro.
From Burlington Free Press. }


Mrs. Z. II. Lane returned Saturday from
Greensboro, which was the the scene of re-
cent drowning accident. Mrs Lane gives
the following additional details of the sad
tragedy. Rev. Harry l.. Veazey of st. Iohns-
bury and Miss Ella Calhoun of Chicago had
been camping with Rev. Mr. Veazey's moth
err and sister at the Randolph camp. They
had been corresponding for the past three
wears but had not met for a long time until
two or three days prior to their disappear
ance. They remained out quite late last
Wednesday evening and Miss Veazey asserts
that she heard call during the evening tina I
sounded like her brothers. voice, although
others, who were near the lake, say that no
outcry could have occurred without their
hearing 1t.
Miss Veazey asked party of four young
men to go out on the lake and look for the
missing ones, which they did without finding
them. About O'Clock next morning, some
men were about to leave for q days fishing
when upon not finding their boat, and kno W.
ing that the couple had taken 1t out the pre-
yious evening, they inquired of the young
mans mother as to the whereabouts of their
craft Then a searching party was organ
lied which discovered the boat, dry inside
and right side up, in which were Miss Cal
houn's hat and folded shawl. The oars were
in Mace and nothing indicated capsizing.
Mr.. Veazey's cap was found floating in the
water near the government fish hatchery
building. Permission has been obtained
from the authorities TO use dynamite, and ii
the bodies do not rise in the meantime q
number of charges will be fired on Monday.
The supposition is, that Miss Calhoun fell
out over the stern and Mr.. Veazey jumped
in after her and as neither could swim they
were drowned. His hat was found floating
on the lake Friday morning. Dragging for
the bodies has been going on since the occur
renee and an expert diver from Boston has
been sent for.
Mr.. Veazey has been pastor of the Univer-
salist church at St Johnsbury since last No
vembcr and was very popular with his con-
gregation. Miss Calhouns parents in Chi

in his Second district congressional
campaign. This ought not to worry
any disinterested patriot over there.
Vermont has been a dry state for
years-on the statute books, but
never anywhere near to such an ex-
tent as at present. Never in the
memory of the Oldest inhabitant has
there been such a scarcity of water in
the state as to-day. Wells, springs
and small streams which have sup
piled water in larger or smaller guam
titles since the country was settled
are dry as a covered bridge, and the
condition is a serious one.
All available information tends to
show that States Attorney Brown of
Burlington constructed a large sized,
long-eared army war horse of himself
by bringing about the arrest of Editor
Fairfield of the Rutland News on the
charge of "defaming" Judge Start.
1t appears that the Judge didn't au-
thorize the action or know that it was
contemplated, and the object of the
official was evidently notoriety and
glory. He is getting lots of the first,
but none of the latter. Although Mr..
Fairfield may be technically guilty,
his punishment will not be very
severe.
What an age of hurry and rush
Even the elements don't get in their
work in the good old way. An "old
fashioned" rain meant a two or three
days steady drizzle and downpour,
when the boys and hired man could
either work in the barn or go fishing.
Now the skies are all serene until ma
ture gets keyed up to a rip-tearing
thunder storm which kills two or
three people and a bunch of cattle
and burns eight or ten barns, and in
an hour there isn't a cloud in the sky
and everything is as calm as June
morning. Even old Nature moves
faster than it did when we were bows.
