CHARGED WITH MURDER,

Rutland, April 22.-CharleS Chap.
pell, an employe of Barden Brothers
at Wallingford, was arrested late Sat.
urday afternoon by Sheriff D. p. Pea
body for an alleged attempt to murder
CHARLES F. campbell, bookkeeper for
the firm, last evening.
Chappell stoutly protests his inno-
cence. He was arraigned before Jus.
tice Ut the Peace Joseph Randall. The
hearing was continued until May 4th,
and Chappell was held In $4,000 bonds.
He was unable to furnish them and
was taken to the county jail.
The story told by Mr.. Campbell,
who came here about year ago, is to
the effect that while he was at work
in the office Of the factory at Walling-
ford, about 10 O'Clock at night, three
men rushed into the place and, with
out warning, one Of them pulled a
revolver and discharged it the bullet
striking Campbell 2 inches below the
heart He attempted to rush from
the place but fell.
Later he recovered sufficiently to
make further attempts to get out OF
the office, and, though he expected
that any movement on his part would
be followed by another attack from
the men, he crawled out of the place
and succeeded in dragging himself to
a hotel half a mile away. He gave an
incomplete story of the affair and be-
came unconscious. He remains in
stupor today. Physicians state there
is little hope that he will recover.
1t is believed that robbery was in
tended by the men, but if this was
the case apparently they gave up the
Iob without ransacking the office. 1t
is explained that the firm carried very
little money in the office, a. all their
payments are made by check.
Campbell was planning to 60 to New
York today. 1t is reported that he
was to be MARI led next Wednesday.

Known
(Special to TELEGRAM.)

East Barre, April 22.-At about II
O'Clock last night some one threw a
large rock and broke out the entire
show window at G. W. Stevens jew
elry store. The noise was heard by
R. d. Moore family who reside across
the street, but no investigation, was
made until early this morning.
A thorough examination by the Of

thing was taken from the store. Mr..
Stevens is in West Fairlee where his
father is seriously ill but he is expect

Geological Time.

An ingenious theory for the estima-
ton of the time of the various geo.
logical periods has been propounded by
an engineer whose work on western
railroads takes him into primitive
country. He says that in one great de-
preston in Wyoming the trees have
been recording the rate Of erosion of
the slopes for about 800 years so accu-
rately that the data to be obtained by
a careful study Of them will be fac
tor of extreme Importance in enabling
scientists to convert geological time
into years. While he has not yet had
time to collect those data properly, he
makes the rough deduction that, ac-
cording TO their records the pliocene
and pleistocene periods would repre-
sent about 100000 years, and that,
on this basis the cenizoic time would
be about 100000 years. This would
mean that all geological time from the
beginning Of the Cambrian epoch
would be G4,00O,000 years.

Prospects OF a Bill to Pay the Costs OF

Lansing, Mich, March 5.-Some of

they would like to have some SORT OF
bill passed for the state 10 reimburse
lngham county for a part of the ex-
pense Of the late grand jury and of
the Marsh and Sutton trials, while
others are opposed to allowing tho
county a cent. One senator who has
considerable influence among his as
sociates said yesterday:
Il have talked with some of the
other senators and | believe bill will
be passed authorizing the reimburse
ment of Ingham county for a portion
OF the expense of the grand jury and
OF the trials growing out of it's find
ings. Some of us want Ingham county
officials to render bill Of the full
amount of the claims in this regard.
When this information is secured, we
propose to deduct from the total
amount claimed the aggregate of the
fines paid or to be paid by Gems. White
and Marsh and Col. Smith, etc, which
will aggregate from $l1, 900 to $4,000,
and then pass a bill for the state to
allow the balance of the total amount
claimed. OF course, Ingham's detailed
claims will be carefully scrutinized oy
