A STUDENT DROWNED.
a illumination to the Bad Feeling Exist.
Ing Between Freshmen and sopho-
mores at Vermont University.

Plattsburg, N. Y, May s7.-Ths
feeling which has existed between
the freshmen and sophomore classes
OF the University of Vermont culmi-
mated here yesterday in the drown
ing of Nelson pease Bond. of Burllng-
ton, VT, treasurer of the freshman
class. The frey hmen had arranged
to have their annual banquet at the
Cumberland house and Bond, with
four other of the freshmen, came
over on the morning boat from Bur-
lington to make the final arrange
ments. Bond left his companions in
the afternoon for stroll and, it is
alleged, was set upon by two of five
sophomores, who had come over from
burlington earlier in the day, pre-
sumably for the purpose Of kidnap-
ing him and keeping him from the
banquet. He fed before his pur-
suers until he reached Wilcox's dock,
an out-of-the-way place on the north
lake front. The pursuers claim he
jumped into the lake in an effort to
escape by swimming. They en-
deavored to rescue him by a boat,
but could find no oars and he sank
before they could reach him.

Topeka, Kan, May 97.-Eugene F.
Ware, pension commissioner, arrived
here yesterday afternoon from Wash.
ington to settle up some private
business matters. He will move his
family to Washington in short
time. Commissioner Ware said he
would not attend the republican
state convention in Wichita, as it
would not seem to be appropriate for
a newly-appointed officer to take 80
much interest in state politics. II
would seem like President Roosevelt
sent him to Wichita in case he at
tended the convention.
