Bennington Mans Body Was
Found Yesterday.
MANY WOUNDS RECEIVED
Autopsy Reveals That Death Was Due
to Blow on Back of the Head
- Police Out to Arrest a
Whole Gang.

Bennington, May 1.-The body of
Fred Bartlett, besmeared with dirt and
generally dishevelled as though it had
been dragged through the mud, was dis
covered in front of the bank in North
Bennington about $50 Sunday morning.
II was at first supposed that the man
had died during a drunken spree but
tSs states attorney was notified and
secured an order from Judge Munson
at Montpelier TO have an autopsy per.
formed
The autopsy showed that the man
died from cerebral hemorThage at the
base of the brain caused by blow on
the back of the head. There were also
marks on the throat that indicated the
-man had been choked; there were also
marks on the abdomen which indicated
he had been kicked and the authorities
are satisfied that murder has been com.
mitted.
Bartlett was abut 81 years old, UNI
married and the son of Harvey Bart
lett of North Bennington. He was em-
ployed by Edward Walbridge at his
sterescope works.
Saturday evening after supper he
went to Naloomsac, n. Y, where he
spent the evening at Charles Aliens
saloon and that was the last time he
was seen alive. When this was learned
States Attorney Daley notified the au-
thorities of Hoosick, n. Y, and the Off
GERS Of the two states have been work
ing on the case.
It has been learned that party of
minors from Bennington were at Aliens
saloon Saturday night, also crowd
from North Bennington and the local
tonghs around Waloomsac. Bartlett
was seen there that night and it is gem
orally believed that he was drunk and
apparently had little money. lie was
not seen at the saloon after twelve
o'clock and it is supposed that he was
either killed in fight near the saloon
or else was followed by some Of the
toughs to get his money.
Bartlett's hat WIS found about 40
rods away from the body on the road
between Bennington and North Benning-
ton. 1t Is not known whether it was
carried there as blind or whether

murder was committed.
States Attorney ". r. Daley said
last night that be was pretty well sat
isiied that Bartlett was killed in Wa
loomsac
The four boys from Bennington came
home about midnight, all intoxicated,
but they can tell but little about Bart-
lett today The body evidently had
been dead about three hours when it
was found.
The officers have no clue that will
warrant the arrest Of anyone on sus-
picion Of committing the crime, but
at midnight last night they started out
to arrest as far as they can everyone
known to have been at the saloon on
Saturday night and detain them until
their evidence can be taken. 1t is hoped
in sthis way to get some clue to the
guilty party or parties.
According to the police there was no
trace Of money in the clothing Of Bart
lett, the pockets Of which were turned
inside out.

Everett Hood Questioned.

Editor Times: In your Saturdays
issue of The Times notice paragraph
which states that a subscription sheet
is in circulation for horse for Everett
Hood. | would like to ask him through
the medium Of your paper if he intends
keeping his horses outside this COM
ing winter the same as he did last.
Last winter ] saw his horses standing
outside when the thermometer registered
from 20 to 25 degrees below zero, and
/ am ready to swear to the truth Of
this statement at any time This, /
think, was case for the authorities, for,
in my opinion, he was cruelty ill-treat-
ing the poor dumb animals, and /, for
one, would be greatly against giving
him red cent towards another horse,
unless he was TO fit up some place where
the poor animals could get comfortable
nights rest without being hitched to
tree with rope that was too short
even to allow them to lie down. hope
all those interested in "Everett's" vel
fare, will consider the contents of this
letter carefully, and use their own judg-

Saloons Close Door After Big
Trade Saturday Night.
NO LIQUOR FOR MEDICINE
Druggists Say They Win Not Apply for
Licenses and Rumor Has 1t That
Aldermen Win Make Price
PTohibitive.

The saloons and wine stores in this
city closed their doors Saturday night
and the beginning OF the dry" regime,
ordered by the voters at the last March
meeting, came today For one year
from today there will be no liquor sold
legally in the city Of Barre 1t is likely
that liquor for medicinal purposes even
will not be sold as the druggists have
stated they do not intend to apply for
licenses as the law allows them to do.
The druggists were quite positive when
interviewed that 50 far as they are con-
cerned Barre will be dry" city for
twelve months.
Some of them stated that they under
stood the aldermen who have the power
to grant the fifth class, or druggists
license, will, if application is made, put
the price so high as to make it prohibi-
tive. The law fixes the license fee as
not less than ten dollars. The aldermen
or the selcctmen can run the figure al
high as they have mind to. One re-
port says one alderman made the state
ment that it would be 5000. And anoth.
er is reported as saying that it will cost
the druggist who gets license in Barre
$1,000. The druggists smile at these
figures. Those who held the fifth class
license last year claim that there was
nothing in it for them, and one declared
that he had lost money, even with the
license fee at ten dollars. The restric-
tions about the sale are close.
There seems to be an unfavorable
disposition toward the holding of a IL
cense by druggists as the three appli-
cants in Montpelier were all turned
down, and only one in Burlington was
granted a permit this spring.
The wind-up Of the batting season
was not 50 bad Saturday night as waa
anticipated, and there was no disturb
ance. Only one arrest was made by the.
police. The streets were crowded with
people, and the remnant sales were very
large. Montpelier and the neighboring
towns poured their quota into the city
| in large numbers Some of the liquor
dealers closed out their stocks and shut
| up shop early ia the evening, while 9TH
ers ran to the eleven o'clock limit.
Brown s. AIurphy's place on North Main
street had to suspend business during
the fire in the rear of their store as it
lot too hot for the patrons.
] The terms Of the license commissions
ers, i. e. Langley, ]. t. Smith and
James Campbell, expired with the fading
4 out of the licenses Saturday. The com
missioners paid their last Official visit
to the licensees late Saturday evening.
| They have posted their last back list
and have turned over the keys Of office.

TROUT SEASON OPENS.
Cold Weather Prevents Very Much Sue

The fact that it is May the first OK.
plains the absence of a considerable
number of men from their accustomed
places this morning. They are off after
the willy trout. And If the present indi-
cations continue they will be after them
for some time before they get them.
The conditions are not. favorable for
good trouting. The heavy snowfall in

spAULDING sLuGGED SPHERE.
Took Ball Game from Northfeld High
Saturday by Score of to 8.

The Spaulding high school boys walk
ed away with the game with Northfeld
high at Intercity park Saturday after
noon, the score standing nine to six,
after an interesting contest. The drizzle
made the ball slippery, and that made
the error column loom up big for both
teams. In fact, there were more errors
than runs, but in spite Of it the home
team held together well and took adj
vantage Of the sky-rocket playing of
its opponent. With The exception Of Ken
eiick and Mackay every man on the
team had misplay chalked up for him
on the scorebook.
Fisher was in the box for Spaulding
and pitched good game, keeping the
hits well scattered, giving but two bases
on balls and striking ont five men. He
also fielded his position well and at the
bat raped out q pretty two-bagger.
Noel in center field caught difficult
tly and at the bat made one of the three
two -baggers. Kcneiick went to the first
base position and Carswell to third. The
new makeup adds greatly to the
strength OF the team. Spaulding had
no difficulty in connecting with La Fra
mas delivery and sent the ball all over
the park. Ayers was one Of the three
to connect for double -sacker.
The next game on the schedule will
be played with Montpelier high on the
seminary campus Wednesday afternoon.
Kenefick win probably pitch for spauld-
ing.

GASOLINE TANK
EXPLODED IN FIRE.
Firemen Had Lively Work Putting Out
Fire in B. Tomasi's Property on
No. Main Street Saturday
Evening.

The new fire department had its first
call from general alarm Saturday
evening at S o'clock for blaze in a.
Tomasi's gasolene house on North Main
street, back Of Brown & Nfurphy's sa-
loon, When the firemen arrived at the
scene, the shed around the gasolene
tank was enveloped in flames which were
fast making their way into barn
nearby.
The gasolene made a difficult FIRE to
extinguish but they did most commend
abe work. The barn is practically sur
rounded by wooden buildings, hardly a
dozen feet away, making veritable
fire trap. When the gasolene tank, con-
tanning from thirty TO forty gallons of
gasolene, exploded, the back sides of
these buildings were enyeloped in flames
for several minutes, and but for the
streams Of water which the firemen
plucAily applied, serious fire would
have developed.
As soon as the gasolene had burned
itself out quick work was made Of the
rest Of the fire. In the barn was part
Of ton of hay which smouldered for
some time, though the danger was over
in an hour after the alarm had sounded
4 horse, COW and a calf which were
in the barn, were safely gotten out.
How the fire started is a mystery.
Chief Gladding said that when he ar
rived at the fire a small stream of gas
olene was running out of the faucet to
the tank and burning as fast as it
came ont Mr. Tomasi fold the chief
that he had drawn no gasolene from the
tank since 8 o'clock in the morning and
could not account for gasolene being
found running out of the faucet which
is the kind that locks with key. The
loss is about 500 and is covered by
insurance.
