rection of Seectman Lockwood Mr.
Houghton last week took up his
camp on the hill for the purpose oil
getting evidence against the sheep
killers. He was accompanied by
Edwin r. Houghton, and putting up
Il tent for shelter the, watched tor
the better part Of four days, keeping
their powder dry for anything that
might come along.
Last Friday two of the dogs
which they supposed had been howl
ing and ramping around Tor weeks
turned up and killed one sheep be-
fore the sentinels in the tent got
after them. A charge of shot from
Edwin Houghton's gun sent one OF
the dogs yelping over the hill and
the other was sp:inting Tor his
home and fireside when Melvin fin
ished him with bullet. The dis.
lance was afterwards found to be
g I-2 rods, pretty good shot, but
Mr.. Houghton was quite warm all
over and pushed on the gun Il little
when he fired, and he shot to settle
up back accounts.
Dogs have killed SIX of his sheep
this spring, eight of Elwir Housh-
toms, and four of the latter's flock
are missing.
One wounded sheep was found
living in the brush by a brook, where
it had evidently been suffering for

A HhRMLESS "3OMB"
Discovery in the State House Yard
EXc,ies Montpelier.

What appeared to be dynamite
bomb was found in the state house
yard at Montpelier Tuesday morn
ing, and the story soon spread that
an effort had been made to blow up
the state house. Its aspect and the
fact of its being found near the sta te
house promptly brought recollection
Of the visit of President Roosevelt
to this city last August and the
question at once arose whether the
bomb was to have been used in con-
nection with Il plot against the chief
executive.
The rumor caused quite an en-
element, but Il close inspection of
the bomb and little work with Il
hammer proved that it was only
the battery for 4 pocket electric
lamp.
