SHOT HIMSELF.

Middlebury, March 80. - 1t now
seems probable that the shooting af-
tray in which Bert Rickart was in
jured on the night Of March 2l, while
returning from bis brothers house In
this village to 60 to his home In Lei
cester, was either accidental, or that
Rickart fired the shot himself. This
is the theory Of the sheriff who has
been looking up the case.
The coat worn by the young man on
the occa sion was considerably powder
burned and 1T is stated in evidence
that shot fired by Fredrick GosS,
who is charged with the shooting,
could not have marks Of powder at
such distance.
1t is thought that Rickart had been
Tilted by Miss Allen that evening and
decided to commit suicide.
GosS is out on $500 bail. His case
has not been heard. The injured
man is on the street again and the
wound is healing fast.
