s,ory OF Boo1. and Robberv,

William Taylor of Wendell, who was ar
rested Thursday for robbing Truman H.
Bartlett of a considerable sum of money
Wednesday night OF Thursday morning,
was arraigned for robbery in the district
court at Greenfield. The court decided
that there was sufficient cause for holding
him, and he was accordingly bound over to
the grand jury with bail at $500, which he
did not secure. His story was that he
started for Leyden from Wendell to buy
cows. He went by way of Turner's Falls,
where gallon of whiskey was bought
Arriving at the house of Mr. Bartlett he
asked the way to Millers Falls. Finally,
according to Taylors story, Bartlett said
he would go to Leyden. After a little he
fell out of the wagon and Taylor pursued
his way homeward. On Taylor's person
was found about $40. He was badly in
toxicated when arrested, and the supposi-
ton is that the money found on him be-
longs TO Mr. Bartlett.

Bed to Death Amer Having a Tooth
Pulled.

Pulled.
Arthur Shattuck, 90, son of the chief of
the fire department at Gardner, died Tues
day in a private dental hospital in Boston
He went there "a week ago to have an Ill
cerated tooth extracted. He bled freely
and the physicians could not check the flow
of blood. The young man graduated from
the Gardner High school, and then entered
the grocery business with his father He
married Miss Edna Holman only four
months ago. From babyhood he had been
subject to fits Of bleeding, which were
che cked only with the greatest difficulty
Nose-b bleed, or any trifiing cut, caused anx-
iety, and it was the well.defined fear of his
family that ultimately his life would be cut
short by hemorrhage. For some time be-
fore his death he had been suffering from
an abscess on a molar tooth in the lower
jaw on the left side of the face. This alb
scess bored through the bone of the jaw
and discharged through the lower part Of
the cheek Mr. Shattuck was put under a
course Of tonics and astringents for two
weeks and then went to Boston to have the
tooth pulled by one of the leading practi-
TONERS. The bleeding began at once, not
from the tooth socket, but from the inner
surface of the gum.
