Injured by Blasting.

]. A. Kreider, OF this place, met With
quite serious accident Tuesday while
engaged in blasting some big boulders
with dynamite on S. H. Summers farm
west of town. The blasting was done
by putting the dynamite on top of the
rock, placing a large stone over it and
exploding the charge with a fuse. The
rock was located near an unoccupied
horse barn behind which Mr.. Kreider
would take refuge after igniting a fuse.
One of the charges failed to go as soon
as he expected and he looked around
the corner of the barn in order to
see if the fuse was still burning when
the charge exploded with terrific force
throwing fragments Of rock in all direc-
tions. One of the large pieces struck
him on the side of the neck cutting a
deep cash b inches in length. He was
able TO get home, but the services of
Drs. Gleddenning and Calbreath were
required to dress and stitch up the
wound. Other fragments struck him on
the arm and shoulder, but resulted only
in bruises that are not dangerous

ON TRIAL
FOR MURDER
Mrs. Mary H. Rogers of
Bennington.
STARTLING TESTIMONY
Levi Perham Told Of His Infatuation
For the Female Pris-
oner.

Bennington, Dec. 11.--At the second
day Of the trial Of Mrs. Mary Rogers
charged with the murder Of her husband
Marcus Rogers, in August, 1902, about an
hour was occupied in completing the jury,
Fifty-eight jurors and talesmen In all were
summoned.
After the oath was administered the
case was properly opened o. NJ. Barber,
for the state, announced that it expects to
prove the death of Marcus Rogers; that
Mrs. Rogers had tried to cause it because
she wanted to marry another man, Morris
Knapp, who Is a witness for the state
that she had Illicit relations with Leon
Perham, indicted as an aecomplice; and
that she expected to receive his life insur-
ance about $500. Her counsel objected to
the charge of Illicit relations. When Mrs
Rogers came into court she had on her
wedding ring, She did not appear to be
much disturbed, but while talking with
her relatives dropped a couple Of tears
She apparently begins to realize her situa-
tion more acutely
The morning witnesses gave testimony
principally to the finding OF the body Of
Rogers and how the search came to be
started.
Interest in today's proceedings centered
upon the testimony of Perham, who adj
mitted an infatuation for Mrs Rogers that
led him to become the willing tool OF the
woman, who, actuated by her love for an
other, eneompassd the death of her hus-
band with almost incredible cunning and
playful manifestation Of wifely affection
which threw her victim entirely off his
guard.
According to the witness the husband
was lured, late at night, to a river bank,
where be was to meet his wife from whom
he had become estranged for the purpose
Of reconciliation.
The pretended c0ncliatlon was affected
and then 10 burst Of well feigned and
playful affection, the woman proposed that
they do tricks with rope which she
brought with her. The husband, happy in
the friendly relations Te-established, Joined
Ia the sport with enthusiasm.
After a little, Mrs. Rogers wanted to
see how strong her husband was, She
thought differently She bound his arms
but he easily released himself. Again she
bound him but he again loosened his cords.
Mrs. Rogers suggested that Perham try
his hand and he bound Rogers. Again
Rogers indicated his strength by breaking
loose Then Perham bound him again
this time securely. From her pocket Mrs.
Rogers quickly drew handkerchief, and
bottle of chloroform Saturating the
handkerchief. she placed it over her hus-
bands face aud In three minutes he was
dead
Perham testified that the only exclama-
tion Mr.. Rogers made when his wife oln-
reformed him was to cry "StopW He said
this once.
Mrs Rogers picked up her husbands
hat, which had fallen on the ground and
pinned note on IL, which she said would
make people think he had committed sui
eide On the paper she had written: II
am going to drown myself and nobody else
is to blame for my death, and signed her
husbands name. Perham then threw the
body into the river and hand in hand the
two returned to their home
