graduate of the University of California,
where he was a frat man. On complet-
ing his college course. he travelled about
somewhat and then entered the business
house in which is father is interested

acquire q working knowledge of the big

And thus is the alliance an affair Of

young people, but TO their families.
The Rev. DR.. Clampett will perform
the ceremony, which will be witnessed by
a host of friends, many of whom will
come back 10 town TO attend it-remain-

afternoon from the effects of poisoning

been accidental but Is now believed by
many TO have been a deliberate murd-
er. Mrs. Lewis was we'll known In

trained nurse for several years. She
was married TO DR., Lewis. who was
then a veterinary In this town, about
four years ago and had since lived
with her husband In Barre A week
ago Monday Mrs Lewis drank a
swallow of fluid extract of aconite
from a bottle which she mistook for
cough medicine. As soon as she dis
covered her mistake she sent for med
zeal assistance but nothing could be
done to save her life.
Since her death facts have devel-
oped which have caused many people
to wonder II the young woman was
not murdered Death was stated to
have been caused by aconite but ac-
cording to the physicians the amount
of aconite she is supposed to have
taken would have caused death in 10
minutes Meanwhile the bottle al
legged to have contained the death
potion has mysteriously disappeared

At the time of her death Mrs. Lewis
was living In new quarters acting on
The instruction of her attorneys who
hen had fears for her life. For some
lime Mrs. Lewis is said to have been
n danger owing to the remorseless
var which she had been waging on
