Suicide in Montpelier.

Late Thursday afternoon, the 10Th,
the city of Montpelier was startled by
the report that Hiram S. Smith, the
veteran truckman. had committed sui
eide by hanging, in his barn on Berlin
street. The details OF the suicide and
the incidents leading TO it are as fol.
lows Mr.. Smith had been in i'll health
for some time and for the past week
had done little work and for two OF
three days he had been respondent to
an unusual degree. During the early
afternoon of Thursday he sat on the
veranda for about two hours, seeming
ly taking no notice Of his surround
ines. About three o'clock he went in.
TO the house and a half hour later went
to the barn. AS he passed through the
door he glanced back and Mrs. Smith
who was present, remembers now that
she noticed a peculiar look on his face
Nothing more was seen of him until
his son, Harry Smith, who is employed
at the National Life Insurance office
came home. This was about $50
o'clock and Harry, noticing that his
father was not about the house, made
inquiries concerning him and learned
from his mother that he had gone t.
the barn.
He Immediately began search and
soon found his fathers body hanging
by strap which was tied to a boarC
fastened to the rafters above the upper
floor OF the structure. The strap had
been drawn through the buckle, form
ing a moose, and this Mr.. Smith adjust
ed about his neck while standing on an
overturned bucket which was kicked
from beneath him. The board to which
the strap was fastened was barely six
feet above the floor.

in 1912 and had spent large part OF
his life in the trucking business IL

lion he enlisted in company b, l0tt

Father kldnaps His Son.

The troubles of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam HUM of Burlington, which be-
came known through an action for
breach OF the peace brought against
Mr.. HUM upon the complaint of Mrs.
HUM, have eliminated in the kidnap-
ping Of the boy who was brought to
Burlington by Mrs. HUM as her son.
The boy has been in the Home for Des-
titute Children since the trouble be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs. HUM. Last week
his father. William NJ. Acuff. OF Knox
vile, Tenn, arrived in Burlington
and went to the Home, found the boy,
told the matron he wished to take
him up town to buy some clothes, and
has not been seen since.
The history of Mrs. Huhn's life is
romantic. About nine years ago she
and Mr.. Acuif were married at Knox
vile, Tenn. They lived happily for a
time but troubles arose and she
brought divorce proceedings. He
fought the case and the divorce was
denied. Mr.. and Mrs. Acuff then con-
terred and finally an agreement was
reached whereby she was to sue lor a
divorce and he was not to contest the
suit provided he was given custody OF
the boy. This plan was carried out.
Mr.. Acuff supported the boy for about
two wears. when he claims Mrs. Acuif
kidnapped him. This was last No
vember and he had advertised extern
siyelv for the child but never heard
of him until the trouble between Mr..
and Mrs. HUM got into court and
Attorney NJ. S. Villas of Burlington
wrote to Knoxville to get the history
of Mrs. Acutf.
As soon as Mr.. Aeuff learned that
his son was in Burlington he notlned
MIR. Villas that he would go to that
city. Last week Thursday he arrived:
He conferred with the authorities OF
the Home and with Mr.. Villas and was
told that although he had been grant
ed the custody OF the child by the
courts of Tennessee, the only way ne
could oct his son from the Home was
10 bring action in the Vermont courts.
This he agreed to do and was to meet
Mr.. Villas Friday morning. THURSDAY
afternoon he went to the Home, iounu
the boy and took him away IN the
manner stated. Since then nothing
has been heard of him.
Alter Mrs. HUM had been divorced
from Mr.. Acuff she became deeply IN
terested in matrimonial papers. She
finally saw the name OF Mr.. HUM anu
a correspondence ensued. during
the correspondence Mrs. Huhn ulu
not mention having a son. but wheh
She arrived she had $40 and the boy.
This small incumbrance did not deter
MIR. HUM. who soon had the marriage,

ACCIDENTS.

Louis Bosquet, an employee of the
Consolidated Lighting Co. of Mont
pelier. broke his left arm below the ell
bow Mar. 10. He was at work rolling
poles near the company's proposed
plant at the Pioneer and fell in front OF
pole which rolled onto his arm.
Michael c. Morgan. Jr., the eleven.
year-old son of Michael c. Morgan OF
Montpelier. was seriously injured Mar.
IS by the explosion OF a dynamite
cartridge with which he and other lads
were playing. The thumb and two
fingers of his left hand and portions OF
the thumb and index finger of his right
hand were so badly lacerated that il
was necessary to amputate them.
Frank West, the Montpelier barber
who drank wood alcohol and lost his
eyesight, is now able to see out of one
eye. His sight is blurred so that he
cannot fully distinguish things. but II
is believed that his sight is returning.
One eye is still unreliable. The only
thing that is believed TO have saved
him is the fact that he took very
small dose, probably about two and
one-half tablespoonful.
At 3 40 O'Clock Tuesday morning OF
last week heavy freight train, con-
sisting OF fifty cars. eastbound. while
crossing the bridge between Rouses
Point, n. Y, and Alburg. broke
through about fifty rods east of the
draw. Fortunately the accident hap
pencd over a stone pier and the engine
went down only three or four feet.
One car was partially derailed, and no
one was injured. The accident was
caused by a weakening of the bridge
from pressure of ice against it. The
ice broke up the 10th and although
aware of possible danger it was not
thought by the patrolmen that there
was any risk taken at the time of the
trains crossing.
A fatal accident occurred early Mar
10 at the Patten quarry OF the Vermont
Marble Co. at West Rutland, one Po-
lander named Alexander Kemperty
being killed, one fatally injured and
several other men seriously hurt. The
night gang engaged in blasting rough
marble touched off a blast and ran
backward several yards. when a can
of powder which one Polander carried
with him as he ran exploded, killing
him instantly and badly mangling him,
also fatally injuring another Polander
nearby. Five others were seriously
injured. 1t is believed that the man
who carried the can of powder was
smoking, and the spark fell into the
can.
The six-year-old daughter of Charles
Loseby, who lives on the west road TO
Proctor and is employed by the Yer
mont Marble Co.. at its Center Rutland
plant, died March Is, from what is
thought to be ptomaine poisoning, and
two sons, aged tour and two years,
respectively, are critically i'll. The
case is something of mystery to the
doctors in attendance, who have been
able to get but little information in the
matter. The theory is that death was
due to ptomaines, the facts which lead
to this supposition being that the l1tf
the children while playing in lot neal
their home used some old tin cans
which they had picked up, in boiling
potatoes over a fire built by them. They
ate the potatoes and little later were
seized with illness which caused the
death of the eldest and leaves the
others dangerously i'll.
