writes as follows to the Bellows FAILS
Times:
Although my life has kept me away from
Vermont most of the time since / graduat-

deep love for the state and especially for
the section around Grafton and Bellows
Falls. You may know that l have pur-
chased from my mother the old homestead

ment will let up on me little and not IN

firing line of our diplomatic affairs
where one must always be at attention, 10

Ny mission here is perhaps the most in
terestine and responsible that have ever
undertaken. You can realize how difficult
and delicate it is when ] say that it in
wolves the restoration of cordial relations
between Colombia and the United States
which were SO severely strained by the
separation of Panama from Colombia. Ii
may judge however, from the cordial at
titude of the Colombian government and
people toward me, I am making some prog
ress towards the desired end This is
wonderful country with marvellous resources
and possibilities, second only to Mexico
among the Latin American republics, and
vet it is little known or appreciated in the
United States. Bogota is one of the most
agreeable capitals that have ever visited.

Of rapid communication with the outer
world, it is city of great culture. refine
ment and political influence.

early October, despite the fact that it is
only 275 miles north of the equator.

Fred Ainsworth, prominent Williams
town druggist, was shot through the hips
early yesterday morning in the barn OF
Thomas Jameson, about three miles from the
village, being taken for horse thief Mr.
Jameson and his brother heard noise IN
the barn and thought some one was after a
valuable horse they owned. They got a
rife and then shouted to the intruder who
responded that he guessed he was crazy.
He then ran out of the barn toward the
woods. Mr. Jameson shot and the man
fell, probably fatally wounded. 1t was
found to be Mr.. Ainsworth, who is so years
old and unmarried. 1t Is believed that he
was deranged and intended to commit sui

Americans Killed in English Train Wreck

The American line special from Plymouth
carrying AZ passengers who had debarked
Saturday night from the steamer New York
from New York, was wrecked at Salisbury
s3 miles from London early Sunday morn
ing. Twenty-three passengers and four train
men were killed and seven were injured. The
train was running at great speed and rumors
of speed competition are connected with dis
cussion Of the cause Of the disaster. The
locomotive jumped the track at sharI
curve and three passenger coaches were com
pletely wrecked. Fire added to the horror
Of the calamity. An inquest held at Sails
bury Monday was mere formality and gave
no idea of the cause of the accident. Among
the injured Americans was G. II. V. Allen
of Fair Haven, who with Mrs. Allen had
gone over on the New York for tour Of
Europe.
