AeCk DeviDO, farmer living in the
east part of Westf0rd, was murdered
in his own barn at about 6 O'Clock
Monday evening. He went into the
barn to feed bis stock, accompanied
by one Curtis POOleF. About twenty
minutes afterwarq he was found dead
at the feet of one OF his horses, show
ing evidence of having been kicked
1t was at first taken for granted that
he had been killed by one of his
horses, but the absence of PoOer led
to the suspicion OF foul play. The
body was removed to the house and
DR.. Jenne was called. On examina-
ton he found evidences Of other
wounds than those Inflicted by the
horse and was strongly OF the opinion
that murder had been committed.
Before the evidences of murder
came to light Pooer had fed. He
had quickly gone to the house where
he was temporarily stopping, Mr..
Goodrich's, q neighbOr of DevinO.
Without permission Of Mr.. Goodrich
he hitched up one of his horses and
drove away. He went directly to
Constable Whipple's and told him
he was wanted at Devino's and then
told Mr.. Whipple he was going to
Fairfax to get another doctor.
Pooler is a young man about 81.
He is described as suspicious look
ing" and unable to look people
straight in the eye. He was once ar
rested for breaking gravestones in
Westford. He came from Lyon
Mountain, New York and has been
employed as a boatmen on Lake
Champlain. He stands about five
feet 10 inches high and weighs about
$50 pounds, He has rather high
cheek bones, dark complexion and
dark brown hair. He drove Mr..
Goodrich's young gray horse in an
OldfashiOned low backed sleigh. He
came from New York few days ago
and had been stopping at Goodrich S
The murdered man was about 40
to 40 years Of age, a farmer with a
family and man of good standing
in the community.
Drs. Jenne and Arkley were sum-
moned and held an autopsy which
revealed the fact that Devino was
shot twice, the ball cutting the iugu-
lar vein and another piercing his left
lung.
The murderer was arrested this
morning in Westford. He was com
ing back to give himself up; he claims
he did the shooting in self defense.

SENDING SMALL PARCELS.
How a Woman shopper Was Taught
Lesson.
From the Chicago Chronic

"Of course. it is pure thoughtlessness.' -
said a salesman in big department store
yesterday. but many women cause US a
great deal of unnecessary trouble in order
ing small packages which they could easily
carry In their pockets to be sent to their
homes. 1t would be no trouble for a GUS
toner to carry home with her a spool Of
thread. comb or a hundred and one other
small articles that are purchased each day.
On each one of these small articles must
be written the address of the purchaser
and it must go in a wagon with hundreds
Of other packages. and there is constant
danger of its being lost.
II heard only the other day OF a woman
in city not far from New York who was
made to see how needless it is to have a
small parcel sent home when il can be east
ly carried. She was regular customer of
the store and her habit OF having spools Of
thread. papers Of pins and such like pur-
chases delivered was generally known. She
was well acquainted with the proprietor
and visited his family in a social way.
He determined to even things up. There
came a time when she ordered just one
spool of thread sent to her house The pro-
prietor of the store directed that the small
spool of thread be wrapped in a paper box
and that the box be placed in a great
wooden one. Around the smaller package
was placed enough paper to fill the big
box, which was placed on a big truck. No
other goods were placed on that truck.
Two men accompanied the box and
when they reached the woman's home they
pretended to have great difficulty in hand
ling 1t. They pulled and tugged at the box.
while the purchaser of the thread looked
in amazement.
What's all this?' she asked. I have or
dered nothing that would require such q
box as that
Don't know. ma'am.' said the men.
we were sent to deliver IL: that's all we
know
1.-The box was opened. After a search
through the packing paper the spool OF
thread was found. The woman appreciated
the Joke and she has not since ordered sent
home a package which she could without
trouble carry herself
