Guilford March 9.-Joseph Hough-
ton aged 7O,and for many years a pro-
minent resident of this town, was shot
and seriously wounded late yes

Mr.. Houghton was on his way to

throw up his hands. Mr.. Houghton
struck his spirited horse, which sprang
forward, and at the same instant the
tallest of the men fired a revolver.

ly through Mr.. Houghton's neck.
Although bleeding freely he drove
to Brattleboro, and several physicians
were summoned.
The scene of the shooting was only
a few rods from the house of Jesse
Weatherhead and in sight of the vii
lage of Guilford. Mr.. Weatherhead's
family heard the shot and saw the
men run rapidly away. They were
seen little later passing through the
village in Guilford. 1T is thought
that they were foreigners and may
have been employed in some lumber
camp of the county during the win

Want and Ought to
Have.

Washington, March o.-The fight
against counterfeit butter which is
being made in Congress by the dairy
! interests of the land has commenced
in earnest. The House committee on
agriculture has taken up Mr.. CIRCUITS
restrictive bill for a series of hearings.
The full committee was present at the
first hearing, and the greatest interest
was manifest by the members in the
proceedings.
The bill is being opposed principal
ly by the Oleomargarine manufacture
ers of Chicago, Kansas City and other
western cities. 1t is estimated also
that some southern representative
whose constituents are concerned in
the Manufacture of cotton seed oil,
which is used in oleomargarine, are
also arrayed against the bill.
On the other hand members of the
llonse are receiving appeals from ev-
cry dairymen' association in the Unit
ed States and from farmers by the
to aid the movement to re-
strict the imposition of oleomargarine
upon the people in counterfeit of
butter.
At the hearing eX-Gov. w. D. Hoard
