Strange Case Of Killing at
Williamstown.
FRED AlNSWORTH VICTIM
Mistaken For Horse Thief and
Killed While Trying to Kill
Himself.
FRED AlNSWORTH VICTIM

Barre, July 5-Fred A. Answorth,
the well known and popular proprietor
OF Wiliamstown drug store, a man
about 63 years old, was fatally wound
ed at an cary hour this morning, II Is
supposed while temporarily insane.
John and Thomas Jameson, who
live on farm alb out two miles from
Williamstown village, attended
Grange meeting there last evening
Thomas reached home shortly after
midnight and saw light In the barn
He went to the house, obtained a 40
calibre rifle and returned to the barn
His brother had arrived by this ii me
and, seeing a man, called to him, ask.
ing him what he wanted. Aims worth
came TO the door and replied: ~ don't
know. guess must be crazy lie
then started TO run. In the darkness
Ainsworth was not recognized, and
Thomas Jameson fired The bullet
penetrated the abdomen OF the fleeing
man, causing mortal wound. Drs
+. b. Watson of Williamstown, and
W. ID. Reid OF this city, we're called,
but were unable to save him, and he
died at noon today.
1t is supposed that Ainswor,h went
to the barn with suicidal intent as a
rope was around his neck when he was
fund. The Jameson brothers own
valuable stallion, and in the dim light
eeing the man and rope, which they
supposed was halter, they supposed
hat the intruder was horse thief.
They expressed their willingness to
surrender 10 the proper officers, il de-
sired, but ii is probable lbat no ar
rests will be made.

from Bennington, was struck by
freight at the river street crossing OF
tn. Boston & Maine railroad in Hoo
sick Falls ard wrecked No one was
injured The trolley car was charge
of Ernest Whitman and william
Green of North Bennington, motor
man and conductor, and was late.
On the crossing the car in some way
got stuck. The conductor had gone up
the track to flag the approaching
freight, and his lantern went out. The
train was right on the car before the
engineer could discover the car was
stalled, and he did not have time to
stop his train.
There were only two or three passen-
gers on the trolley, and they had am
pie time to get off. The trolley car
was badly wrecked but the ucks and
motor we're not badly damaged. SIP
SNYDER 10 Mechanicville was notified
by telephone and a wreckiug crew soon
had the track clear again.

THE 9TH IN WOODFORD.
Much More Enthusiasm Manifested Than Was
Anticipated

At one minute past II O'Clock, mid
night, The sexton and his assistants
irrked the rope and vigorously rang
the church bell for an hour aud half
proclaiming to all the people that the
l30th anniversary of our independence
as nation had arrived.
At the same moment the cannonaders
caused deafening roars to echo, re.
echo and reverberate from mountain
10 valley and vice versa.
Shortly before o. clock shower of
rain began to pour, but this did not
in the least dampen the ardor of tie
boys with the cannon. They had plenty
of powder, and went the whole length
OF the street, a mile and a half keep
ing up their saluting until sunrise.
Then they rested little while and
'opened fire" again at 9 o'clock, and
continued it alternately until after 10
O'Clock Wednesday night. Every
small boy had his hands full of Girls
wold's firecrackers, making an inces-
SAINT crack, fack, snap fusee, fee
Several flags were flying, the Mt
Pleasant house being decorated with
large and small ones.
The party of boys and girls at the
Summit house were really loyal and
patriotic and helped along the cele
brating with their explosives in more
ways than one, those from the "Bay
State" lending hand and voice only
second to the Vermonters, while of
course the lusty Bennington boys were
/ in the lead with their intense ardor
and zeal, Rollin Jenney and Maurice
Wall being the captains. The latter
had several daring horseback rides
during the day on fiery steed, whom
no one else dared to get astride. Ju-
Nor Hawks made the attempt. but
did not succeed.
About noon 30 members of No. 81
Bennington lodge lOGT arrived in two
four-horse loads for a picnic On ac-
count of the heavy shower Good Tenn
plars' hall was opened TO them where
they enjoyed their feast and had a
merry good time. There was a large
number OF other Bennington people in
town during the day.
In the evening Miss Anna G. Park s
cottage and cabin were brilliantly
decorated and Illuminated with Chinese
lanterns, and there were several pri-
vate displays of fireworks, and a big
paper balloon was su, cessfully sent
up by the ladies and gentlemen at the
Summit house.
At Camp Comfort there was also
patriotic enthusiasm manifested, so
taken all in all, Independence day in
Woodford did not pass wholly unob.
served in '06, even if 40 preparation
had been made for IT,
