NOT GUILTY
Is The Plea Entered By
Chester Wood
intent TO KILL
Is The Charge Upon Which
He Was Arrested
Especial to TELEGRAM.)

Marshteld, July 17.-Chester Wood
was arrested here yesterday afternoon
by Deputy Sheriff H. J. Slayton OF
Barre on warrant charging assault
with intent to kill.
Wood was taken to Montpelier, en-.
tered plea OF not guilty, and gave
bail for appearance at court. The
case against Wood grows out OF a
scrap he had with two Montpelier
fishermen.
Fred Standish and Nelson Gay went
to Kinney pond the other day, near
Niggerhead, and began fishing. The
pond was posted and when Wood dis
covered them he ordered them to come
ashore, but they did not do so.
1t is alleged that Wood then went
out where they were, and stove
hole through the bottom OF the boat
IN which they were, leaving them to
sink or swim ashore. 1t is further
alleged that Gay came in contact
with an oar in Woods hand. There
Is considerable excitement Ia this
Vicinity over the incident.

Establishment aud engage in private
business He is quoted as having
said that as soon as all active mill
tary operations 10 the island cease,
he will give up his place in the army
and will represent large commercial
concern which has made him hand
some offer for his services. His res,
igna,ion is expected to be forthcom-

The report that the Kansan would
resign has been thoroughly discussed
by officers at the war department.
and while no one seemed to have any
direct information concerning his in-
TEN ions, the statement that be would
leave the army was generally accepted
as true. People in Washington who
know Funston say that he is not by
nature adapted to the routine of a
military post in time OF peace, and
that his spirit Of daring and enter
prise will lead him into other fit Ids.
Officers who have returned within
the past few days say he did not ex-

from such plans. The offer is said to

he has almost decided to accept.
