SHOT IN THE HEAD.
"Doddy" Kelley Of Burlington Now Lies
in Hospital.

Burlington, Aug. s.-Georee ". KEEL
ley, commonly known as ''Doddy'', was
the central figure in a shooting ARRAY
on North avenue beyond the Intitute
road about eleven O'Clock last evening.
Kelley received three scalp wounds.
The affair happened just beyond the
old Maxwell place, but man at that
house stated that he knew nothing OF
the case; that he did not hear any pistol
shots and that that the reporters ques-
ton was the first intimation he had re-
ceiyed Of the occurrence Of the deed.
Other people residing in the neighbor-
hood and further south ON North avenue
we're also ignorant of the fact that the
shooting had occurred
The drama is probably a pseudo tragic
enc. Suffice it to say, that Kelley was
in the neignborhood above mentioned
and that his presenme was apparently
OF welcomed by the mixed company
there.
The victim Of the shooting figured in
a similar episode in the same locality a
few years ago.

WELCOME no LABoR MEN.

As meeting place for labor con-
vention Barre offers splendid advant-
ages. Here is to be found as complete
chain OF unionism as there is in the
state. There Is scarcely a craft which
has not been touched BY the trade nm
ion movement, and each union forms a
component part Of the larger and com
pact organization known as the Cen
trail Labor Union. This larger body is
in turn closely allied with the State
Branch Of the American Federation, as
the latter organization is allied with
the national association. Barre Is an
illustration Of what the trade union
idea can do when its hackers follow up
the work Of organization thoroughly
Then, too, there is abundant opportu-
nifty to inspect the granite quarrying
and cutting business in its most mod
ern phases, with the caryers' art also
reaching high stage Of perfection. The
most recent inventions in the maehin-
lists handlMofkfor Facilitating the work
are here exempliiied. Coming
down to the social side Of the conven.
ton, the local committee presents a
list Of attractive events, including a
banquet and several side trips, which
should be pleasing to the delegates and
visitors.
The Times is pleased to extend a
welcome to these progressive men
who today gathered in Barre from va
rious parts Of the state, trusting that
their brief stay in the city may be
both pleasurable and profitable. Al
