Readsboro Man, with jag and Gun, on a
Rampage.


Alfred p. Hall OF Readsboro arrived in
North Adams Tuesday armed with a s.
calibre revolver, and after threatening a
waiter in a local hotel. took charge OF
trolley car and freight train. Hall was
finally overpowered and locked up.
When Hall reached North Adams he
went TO the Richmond hotel for supper.
He had trouble with a waiter in the din
ing room, and by way of emphasizing a
peremptory demand for quicker service,
Hall produced his revolver and threat
ened the man. Hall left the hotel without
making further trouble and boarded an
electric car bound for Williamstown- The
conductor was unable to collect his fare
and a dispute ensuing Hall drew his re-
volver ana hourished It, with the result
that all the other passengers and the con-
duetor fiec.
Hall then abandoned the car and went
TO the Boston and Maine railroad tracks,
where he boarded a slowly moving freight
train. He attempted to make friends with
the crew, but finding that his advances
were not appreciated he drew his revolver
and drove the railroad employees from the
caboose. The conductor signalled the en-
gineer and the train was stopped. Sew
eraI officers were then summoned. They
found Hall writing in the conductor
notebook. He was overpowered and
locked up. The police say that Hall
actions were apparently due to the use
Of liquor.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Lillian Paine Of Parkhm Shot Mys-
terlously

Lillian Paine. II. daughter Of Alexander
Paine OF Parkhill. was the victim Of a
mysterious shooting accident Monday.
She lies at her home in a critical condi-
ton with a rife bullet at the base or the
brSin. Miss Paine took a 22-calibre rife
owned by some member OF the family and
started out Monday afternoon to the
woods with the intention Of shooting
squirrel. She did not return, the family
became alarmed. and about o'clock in
the evening the neighbors organized a
searching party. The girl was found lying
against one side Of the sugar house about
a quarter OF a mile from her home. She
was not wholly conscious. She was taken
home and attended by DR.. Craig. She
told a disconnected story about having
been shot or knocked down by a man.
but the doctor did not think her mental
condition such that reliance could be
placed upon her story. The bullet pene-
trated her skull about an inch and one
half above the right eve. II Is said that
there were powder MARKS on the forehead
and the flesh had been burned. indicating
that the rifle had been discharged close
to her head. Sheriff Lord Of Keene. who
investigated the case. is Of the opinion
that the shooting was accidental

.rbe lumbermen in this vicinity are very
r,ncb interested in the proposed railroad
legislation. especially In the bills com
rellinR railroads to pay 81 per day for
everv day they fail to furnish cars after
they have been notified four days. This
would seem to be a very fair law as II
places the shipper and the railroad on the
same basis, as now the shippers nave
to nay 81 per day demurrage 10 the rail-
roads for every day after the fourth day
that they hold a car either for the pur-
pose Of unloading or loading, while at
present IT is common thing for the
shipper to wait two weeks after ne
orders a car before he gets it. in fact
the RAJ. road suits its own sweet will in
the matter. Then, too, in the matter OF
rates. Jamaica pays the same rate 10
Brattleboro that South Londonderry does
although South Londonderry is nine
mile longer haul than from Jamaica 10
Bratrleboro. and it is the same from
WinhaH and South Londonderry.
The rate on lumber is FIVE cents per
hundred pounds while on chair stock ana
bark il is seven cents; it could readiiy oe
seen why this discrimination OF two Genus
was made when the road was narrow
gauge as IL was much more work to trans
fer chairstock and bark than II was
lumber. but there is no good and valid
reason why this two-cent extra rate
should be kept UP now the ROAD Is staho-
ard gauge and freight does not have TO De
transferred although the Central vermont
paU1-ov comnanv always insisted that
n made no charge for transferring.
About a wear ago a petition was sent to
the railroad commission at the insuga-
zion Of the B. s. Gallup Lumber company
which was signed by every lumber manu-
facturer and shipper in the West river
,,sllev asking that the commission give
them a hearing and to compel the rail-
road company to show cause why there
should be this difference in rates on lum-
her. chairstock and bark, all Of which is
practically the same and shipped IN the
same kind Of cars. Nothing was ever
heard from this petition, however pre-
sumably because the commission had no
powers, therefore the shippers are doubly
anxious that this legislature either give
this commission some power TO make
rulings in regard to freight rates, also
power to enforce them OF else by some
other means give them at least fair
show with the outside world in the sale
Of their products.
The files in the various lumber com
panies' Offices will show letter after
letter saying your price on lumber Is
all right. should be pleased to do business
with you but your freight rates are pro-
bfbitfve Members Of the legislature.
We hone YOU will think this over and see
IL there is any valid reason why Jamaica
Iuubermen should pay the same rate on
their product that Londonderry and
Weston lumbermen. nine miles farther
away. pay; also why, where ooard OF
plank is sawed into chairstock they should
be compelled to pay two cents more a
hundred on it. Truly we need railroad
commission with teeth" Much might be
said about the matter Of sidings and train
service all of which is run on the same
