pardon for j. Sherman Caswell, serving
a life sentence in states prison at Wind
sor for the murder of George Gould In
East Montpelier Is years ago. The pa
pers were presented to William A. Lord

IN pushing the movement for a pardon.
Mr.. Lord went to Windsor and Caswell
accompanied him back to Montpelier.
Caswell lived for years on the Wallace
Cutler farm in East Montpelier, and was
in love with Laura Cutters daughter.
The parents did not wish the girl to mar
ny during their lifetime. They did not
object to Caswell and treated him as a
member of the family Caswell heard
that George Gould was attentive to Lau-
ia Cutler. but she denied this and they
quarrelled. Later there differences We're
settled, and he gave her money to buy
her wedding rousseau, She took the
money, ran off and married Gould.
When Gould and his wife returned to
the Cutler homestead. Caswell, who was
I'm an upper room, fired upon Gould with
a shot gun, blowing off the top OF his
head, Gould had threatened to make
short work of Caswell and carried a re-
volver.
The trial attracted great attention.
and resulted in a verdict of murder in
the second degree. After conviction, but
before his sentence, Laura Cutler was
married in Jail to Caswell Several
years later she applied for a divorce. but
was refused. She is now housekeeper
for a cousin of her first husband on a

MILLIONS IN TONOPAH.
s1o,ooo,ooo to $15,ooo,ooo on the
Dumps of the Mine in Which John
E. Anderson is LARGE Owner

western paper states that Tonopah
the gold mining district in Nevada in
which John =. Anderson is one of the
largest owners, now stands at the head
of the list in the mining world for the
amount of ore taken for the time II has
been in existence and the best feature
is that the ore bodies improve as the
work progresses downward. Never in
the history of mining has such a large
amount of gold bullion been taken from
a mine. and many Comstock lode miners
who have examined the camp go so far
as to predict a greater future than Vir-
ginia City ever had. In six months
time S6,000,0O0 worth of ore was produced.
and the value of the ore now piled on
the dumps is estimated from so, 900 900
to Sl50O,O0O. Tonopah is a typical min
ing camp. and although so miles from a
railroad 1t has a population of 5000 at
the present time, only about year since
the mine was discovered. Surveys are
in progress for a water works system at
an expense of $75O.0O0. The water will
be brought 6S miles. At present all
drinking water is carried in on pack ami
mails. The ore Is also shipped on pack
animals more than 1000 horses and mules
being used in this work. 1t is probable
that a branch railroad will be built to
Tonosah within a short time. although
II is in an inaccessible district. across
the desert from the Southern Pacific.
