bank.
Four men invaded the home Of Mrs.

Charles S. Thayer, 20, one of the bright
est and most popular young men of Hat
field, was drowned Saturday night in the
Connecticut river. He and q. r. Small
and the latter's son, Eddie, OF Hartford,
Conn, were in a canoe which capsized.
All could swim and they did not consider
the situation serious. The distance to
the shore was too great for the lad, so
they started with Eddie clinging to
Thayer's shoulders, while Small tried to
bring in the canoe. Suddenly Thayer
sank without a cry and never came to the
surface. Eddie Small managed to reach
shore and give an alarm, while his father
searched in vain for a trace OF their COM
panion. 1t is supposed Thayer was seized
with cramps or was exhausted, as he had
been swimming twice during the day.

ISOLATION OF Boston in Rutland Friday

Of about 1000 members Of the three So

bring only 40 to Rutland" Perfect
weather again Friday permitted the car

entertainment committee, and the visitors
left on the early afternoon trains, some
to go directly TO Boston, and others to
visit their old home towns, laden with
souvenirs and expressing a desire to come

IN OUR OWN STATE.
Plan to Assassinate Barre
Chief Of Police

Strange Foreigner In Ambush Probably
an Anarehlst-chleFs Wife Gave Warn
Ing by Telephone.
An apparently well concerted plan to
waylay and assassinate Patrick Brown,
chief of the Barre police department, was
frustrated on Saturday night through the
GOODNESS and presence of mind of Mrs
Brown, the chiefs wife.
Mrs. Brown and her daughter, Mar
guerite, were returning to their home on
Allen street and while on Prospect street
they felt that they were being Swallowed.
Remembering the attempt that was made
on her husbands life a few years ago
Mrs. Brown became apprehensive and call
led at the police station.
On finding that Chief Brown was at
the station and busy the ladies' were re-
assured. But on leaving the station their
fears were again aroused, as the dark
compleXioned foreigner who had been
tracking them reappeared and followed
them to the house. The ladies watched
him peer into the windows of the house
and then hid in some bushes beside which
Chief Brown would pass on his way home
Mrs. Brown telephoned to her husband
telling him of the location of the am
buscade. Chief Brown, accompanied by
officer Faulkner went Immediately to the
spot indicated and by means of a dark
lantern they discovered their man who
skunk out of the bushes and made a hasty
retreat followed by revolver bullets of the
officers.
Those intimate with conditions in Barre
openly express their belief that this at
tack was originated in anarchistic circles
for the purpose of killing Chief Brown who
is hated by the anarchists.
