The Inquest.

Ii. j. H.. Rlnenart was the first wit.
ness examined and described the
! wound that caused death. The face,
he said, was badly powder burnt and
indicated that the shot had been fired
at very close range. The wound, in
his opinion, was the immediate cause
OF death. Asked as to whether in his
opinion the bullet taken out by him
had been fired from the revolver found
near the dead person, he replied that
the powder marks and course of the
bullet strongly indicated suicide. He
had found no other wound on the
body. In reply to a question from the
county attorney if it was usual for
persons killing themselves to retain
their grasp on the instrument used in
committing suicide the doctor said his
experience had been that they usual
" dropped the instrument. On be-
ing told the position in which the
body was found, he said it would
more strongly convince him that it
Il was d CASE OI suicide.
Nellie Dalton, landlady of the Hub
with whom the dead woman boarded,
knew the deceased about three
months. She saw her alive the last
time Sunday morning about $3.50
O'Clock, at which time she appeared
to have been drinking. When the
coroner made an examination of the
deceased's room, the witness said a
note had been found and she believed
1t was written by the deceased. The
note was shown to the witness and
was identified by her. It was brief and
simply contained a request to send for
Johnnie Adams of Fargo, N. D., and
was signed with the dead woman's
name. Miss Dalton said that as far
as she knew the deceased left no
money or property. Shown the re-
|R0lyer found neal the body, the wit
ness identified it as the one she re-

ACCIDENTS
Occur At The Muster
Grounds
A BARRE BOY
Injuries His Elbow, And Rut-
land Man Injnred

Camp Governor StickEey, Aug 20
''Practicability" is the motto that
hangs over the muster grounds OF the
Vermont National Guard this year.
The work yesterday was highly credit
able. Each company was put through
a rigid drill practice that had none Of
the fancy but all OF the business points
of the regular army.
The discipline this year is much
more strict than heretofore and very
few men are outside the camp at
night.
There wereltwo accidents Sunday
evening. W. r Walker, musician of
Co. of Barre had his left elbow dis
located. He stumbled and fell over a
portion Of a tent. His injuries ale
better and he will be out in a few
days. The other was more serious
Private Morris Audet Of Co. A, Rut-
land while standing near his tent was
hiu violently on the head from behind
with the butt Of gun and rendered
unconscious. The hospital corps was
sent tor and he was sent t. the h0spi-
tai where he revived. He Is suffer
ing from concuss on Of the brain but
is somewhat improved. His assailant
is member of his own company
whose name is withheld. he was
court.martialled yesterday and SEN
tepced. Little can be found as to the
reason of the assault on Audet. Thus
far there have been 81 men who re-
sponded to the SICK call. The ma or
ity of these are simply a little indis-
posed from overeating or careless in
dulgence in ice water, etc.

Fatally Injured,

Last Saturday William Henry Clarke, young mao brought up in Nogales, the son of Mir. and Mrs. R.. H. Clarke. who was fireman on the N. M. & A. railway, died at Patagonia as the result of injuries received in the line of duty.
 The remains were brought to Mo- gales, and the Obsequies were held at the family residence Sunday after noon. Deceased was most exempiory young man, and had so conducted himself from childhood that he merit ed and received the respect and con tidence of all who knew him In his chosen avocation he was rapidly ad- vancing in esteem and favor of both his superiors and associates, and a long life of usefulness and honor seemed his destiny. But upon the very threshold Of manhood the young man was called away, leaving a sor- rowing father and mother and eight brothers to mourn his sad demise.
 Deceased was an honorably dis charged private of Go. G., First Regi- ment. N. G. A.; and ex.member of Papago Engine Co.,, No, l.; and member in both the Independent Order of Foresters and Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen.
 In their sad and shocking bereave. ment the sorrowing family have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire com munity.
