INJUNCTION MUST STAND.
Plaintiffs Cannot Proceed against
Bankrupt Firm Of Knott e. CIOssOn.

At a hearing in Brattlcboro Judge
Wheeler decided that an injunction re-
straning plaintiffs in two cases from
against tho old brokerage firm
of Knott q Closson should stand. The
two cases in question were brought by
II. a. Phelps. ct AL ana Homer Fits.
They were brought In the Washington
county court and have been continued
from time to time.
4 bill of injunction was brought re-
straining the plaintiffs from proceeding
with tho cases now ON the ground that
Knott &, Ciosson were in bankruptcy pro-
ceedings. J. W. Gordon of Barre moved
for the plaintiffs that the injunction be
dismissed. II. W. Taft of this city argued
for Knott & Closson and the Judge ruled
that the injunction must stand.

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Edward C. Moore Attempts to
Can't Suicide at West Side
Hotel Sunday Afternoon.


Edward c.. Moore, a well known
young man about town, attempted to
commitrsuicide Sunday afternoon, and
was-only saved from carrying out his
purpose by the prompt interference of
a companion. He was lodged in the
county jail for safe keeping.
Moore, who boards at the West Side
hotel, has been on prolonged spree
and it is supposed that he was insane
from drink when he attempted to
make way with himself. Some three
weeks ago his relatives, who live in
Amsterdam, N. Y, sent Moore money.
to go east. with, and ever since that
time he has been more or less under
the influence of liquor. Saturday
morning Moore awoke to the fact that
his money was nearly gone, and
rather than confide to his relatives in
the east that he was again penni1ess
he decided to kill himself. Moore
went about his preparations deIiber-
ate1y. He wrote farewell letters to
his friends and then went to one of
IAS AAAAA SlAOSl StOAOS d4O Pll CAdSGO
a revolver Coming back to the hotel
in an intoxicated condition, he an
nounced to some of the other boarders
that he was going to kill himself.
Fortunately for Moore, they took
enough stock in his story to watch
him very carefully and he was never
left alone minute from that time on.
He could not get his courage up to the
point of making the attempt upon his
life until Sunday. Suddenly, while
talking with one of the other board
ers, he drew his revolver and tried to
fire at himself. Tie other man was
too quick for him, however, and Moore
was overpowered after a desperate
struggle and disarmed. He is safe in
the county jail at present and his rel
atives have been notified to come
here and get him. If they fail to ap-
pear Moore will be given an examina-
ton in the justice court in a day or
two. There is no statute which ap-
plies directly in his case, but he will
be7ssent1to Jail on charge of disor-
.derlyaconduct long enough to permit
him to sober up.

SEEKING MORE PAY
Firemen on North Western Road
Make First Demand for
Increase of Wages.
OTHERS ARE TO FOLLOW

Steps were taken Saturday to pro-
cure an increase in the wages of the
locomotive fremen employed by the
North Western road, and similar eff
forts will be made upon the other rail-
roads centering in Chicago.
A special committee of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen met in
Chicago Saturday and called upon the
officials of the North Western road,
asking that the wages of the 1ocomo-
tive firemen on that road be increased
Is per cent over the present scale.
The committee will remain at work
in Chicago for several days and will
make similar requests to every rail
road management.
No definite decision or agreement
was reached at the conference be-
tween the North Western road officials
day, and it was stated that other con-
ferences will be held.
In view of the fact that every rail-
road will be petitioncd to increase the
wages of its firemen, concerted action
on the part of the railroads with ref
erence to the demand may be taken.
What the attitude of the fremen will
be in case the railroads find that
their demands can not be complied
with is not known at this time and
the special committee itself does not
know.
The railroad managers are making
a thorough study of the situation and
expect to have a speedy solution of it
upon basis which will be equitable
and practical. At present the best
relations exist between the railroads
and the employees, and it is the wish
and purpose of the officials to continue
to promote perfect harmony and good
will among the workmen.
"The controversy and difficulties of
the fremen in the east are no criterion
for the situation here said promi-
nent Chicago railroad official. eve
all look for peaceful adjustment of
any questions which may arise by
virtue of the requests for an increase.
The railroads are as much interested
in treating the firemen justly as is the
committee anxious to serve the fire.

TO CHARGE PERJURY
Salem Men Connected'With Wren
Murder Investigation Must
Face Judge BeIden.
STATEMENTS FAILED TO TALLY

It is stated that District Attorney
Baker is preparing complaints against
five residentss.of the town of Salem
charging perjury, and at the next term
of the circuit court the men who gave
evidence in the Wren murder investi-
cation may be brought before the
court to answer charges of perjury.
The men included in the list are
John George, ]. K. Bolton, Peter
Schumacher, Charles Wannamaker
and David Rooney. At the time that
these men were summoned before
Justice Sturges to give evidence in
regard to the murder of Wren all the
men told conflicting stories and made
statements which they afterward con-
tradicted in written confessions.
George was the only one Of the men
who did not make a statement to the
district attorney in which the former
testimony was repudiated, but the
statements made by the other mem
bers of the sextette who .were arrest.
ed on the charge of numbering Wren
is thought to be sufficient to secure
the conviction of all of the men on
charges of perjury. 1t is hardly pos
sib1e that these men will be brought
before the court until after the Schu-
macher case is disposed of. This
case will be the first one on the GRIM
ina1 calendar at the March term and it
is stated today that Schuma cher has
decided to plead guilty to charge of
manslaughter.
Deputy Sheriff John MUTT of Salem
was in town today and he stated that
Schumacher would be in in a few
days to make out papers for a plea of
guilty. 1t is probable that mans1augh-
ter in the fourth degree will be charg-
ed. This offense is punishable by
Imprisonment in the state prison for
term of from one to three years and
by fine.
The interest in the case has in no
way diminished in the town of Salem
and it is expected that many people
from that town will attend the trial.

LOWELL POUND GUILTY.
Evidence of Walter M. Cowell Proves
Too Much for "Wild Cat" Leader.

Evidence of Walter M. Cowel1 Proves
Too Much for "Wi1d Cat" Leader.
Wildcat insurance was dealt a
death blow in Judge McEwen's court
in Chicago Saturday afternoon, when
w. A. Lowell, reputed head of this
class Of insurance systems, was found
guilty.
Lowell, digni6ed man of advanced
years and with si1very white hair, was
declared by the jury to be guilty, and
his punishment was fixed at from one
to five years in the penitentiary and a
81, 900 fine.
Lowell's wife and three daughters
We're presentsip court at the time the
verdict was rendered and were deeply
affected. w. M. Cowell, of this city,
the defendants former partner, was
also present, and he was taken in
custody with Lowell, to be sentenced
later by Judge McEwen, he having
pleaded guilty to the charges and also
turned states evidence against
Lowell.
Counsel for the accused offered
motion for new trial, which was or
dered placed on the records. The
motion will be argued some time this
week.
Attorney Frank Fairfield, repre-
senting the fire insurance underwrit-
ers, Sid: "The outcome Of this case
is of the greatest Importance not only
to legitimate insurance concerns, but
also to thousands of small policy hold
ers who have been swind1ed for many
years by concerns of the kind operated
by Lowell and his crowd. Lowell has
been in this business for at least
thirty years, and repeated efforts to
bring his career to an end have met
with failure.
The specific charge against Lowell
was conspiracy to obtain money by
false pretenses. A wagon load of
documentary evidence figured in the
trial, and Cowel1 occupied the stand
for mere than week. He freely ad-
mittea the many frauds that the two
had perpetrared upon poor people in
all pats Of the country during their
career.
