STRANGE CRIME
Darrell Barnard Shot John Cassidy
without Word of Warn
ing.
THE VICTIM MAY NOT LIVE
AZ Shot Removed from His Body
barnard Attempted to End His
Life by Taking Iodiue-Was
Captured Later and Is Held
for the Grand Jury.

Rutland, Aug. 2i.-Daniel Barnard for
reasons unknown last evening about
seven o'clock went into the %barnyard OF
Isaac German. In Chittenden, and with
out a word emptied the contents of a shot
gun into the body of John Cassidy. who
was at the time milking a COW. Cassidy
is In a critical condition, and 1t Is not at
all unlikely that Barnard. now In custody,
will have 10 face the charge OF murder.
DIR. II. II. swift of Plttsford, who at
tended the wounded man. extracted Il shot
from his flesh.
As a sequel to the shooting. Barnard.
while in hiding from the officers. attempts
ed to take his own life. He swallowed a
considerable quantity Of iodine, but tho
drug would not stay upon his stomach and
his purpose failed.
Barnard was captured this afternoon at
his hiding place on the premises of his
father in Chittenden. not far from .he
scene of the shooting, by Constable J. e.
Tennien of Pttsford. He was evidently
there when the place was searched last
night, but in some way succeeded in evad-
ing the officers In their first search.
Cassidy looked up from his milking just
as Barnard entered the yard, but said
nothing. The next time he glanced up. it
was JtSt VI tIIIlc 10 Stc IphT1ldtu ilS-
charge the weapon full upon him. Ths
cause OF the affair has been a matter Of
mystery. for rs far as known there has
been no bad blood between the two men.
They had been together before during
Thursday. neither had been drinking, and
so there has been nothing but conjecture
as to the reason for Barnard's deed.
There Is nothing 10 substantiate q theory
of mental unhalancc upon the part OF
Barnard. Al q hearing this evening
Barnard waived examination and awaits
the action Of the grand jury. No bail was
fixed. Barnard is all u%nstrung and says
he took the iodine by mistake. Nothing
has developed to show the motive for tha
shooting. Cassidy may recover, but il is
still doubtful.

Wessinser Iron Works.

HI. j. Wessinger, chief mechanical
engineer of the Oliver Iron Mining
company and his brother, VIM. E.
Wessinger have organized the Wes-
singer Iron Works and will put in a
plant at West Duluth.
This plant will manufacture me-
chanical appliances that are the in
ventions of Mr.. Wessinger. He has
a number Of these, nearly all of which
used in connection with mining ma
chinery. In his official capacity with
the Oliver people he has devised a
number Of improvements that he has
placed upon the market.
For two years or more these have
been manufactured at plant at De-
pere, Wis, and the demand for then
has grown TO such proportions that
the plant there has been almost en-
tirely given over to this work. For
some time Mr.. Wessinger has been
to have his own plant and has
now brought this about, selecting a
site at West Duluth, after consider
able investigation and deliberation.

want earthquake predictions now, and
the prophet is popular. the geoIogist
nowhere. A third is heralding the
assassination of the czar of Russia
and the Sultan of Turkey at an early
data prediction which has elements
OF probability about it that prophet
is not needed to discern. Another is
delving into President Roosevelt's flu
ture with grim murder in his eye.
Others have reduced several European
empires to chaos, and still others are
busy with the crops.
The objection to this prophecy bust
ness is that it still further unsettles a
lot of weakened and weak-minded
persons who, if they were let alone,
might go on blowing or knitting and
be of some value in tue world. Terri
fed by the wild imagiaings of these
Iong-maned asses they lose what little
mind they have, and land in an IN
sane hospital.
There are few real prophets in the
world, but they are not sensational
ones. They deal mostly with figures,
which does not appeal to popular
fancy, They predict an eclipse to a
second. and it comes off. But they
are the last persons in the world to de-
duce the course of human events from
conjunctions of Mercury and Jupiter
in the constellation Of Taurus.
The trouble with the prophets
who read human tragedies from the
planets and sun spots is that they
know so much that isn't so.-Wheel-

Suicide at Tower.

Sam Kee, proprietor Of laundry at
Tower committed suicide by cutting
his throat with a razor Monday morn
ing. At first it was thought MUIR
der had been committed. Coroner
Gleason of this city went down and
after examining witnesses pronounced
the case one of suicide. 1t is claimed
that he had been enamored Of a
maiden at Tower for some time and
that two weeks ago he cut off his que
and proclaimed himself a citizen of
the United States. He was young
and fairly well versed in English.
The remains were taken to Duluth

Prophetic Pests.

When a great disaster befalls hui
manity all the prophets come out of
their holes again and predict more
horrors. Why they never predict
peace, good weather and prosperity is
easy to understand. 1t would attract
no attention. Notoriety is what they
live on. They must in order to get it
foretell events that will impress and
alarm. They succeed, and that is
why they are nuisance. In the null
tiplicity of predictions some are reas-
onably sure TO come to pass, and great
is the glory Of the seer.
There is one idiot, living somewhere
in the east, who happened to hit on
earthquakes on the Pacific coast
last fall, and he is simply basking in
the glare of wondering publicity that
is his. The fact that the Pacific coast
has had earthquakes every year since
any body lived there TO record them
seeIhs not to affect the briliancy Of
his aureole in the least. Another
wild-eyed maniac announces the APP
preaching destruction Of Chicago and
New York and is getting crowd to
listen. The quiet statement Of Prof.
Salisbury of Chicago university. editor
of the Journal Of Geology, that the
Lake Michigan basin is surrounded
by geologic strata not susceptible to
earthquakes passes unheeded. People
