BIG FUSION RALLY
Addresses by Clement and Billiard
Music Hall Filled to Over
flowing.

The first and only Fusion rally
was held in Woodstock Wednesday
evening and it was large enough to
make two rallies. Music hall was
filled to overlooking, and the ovation
to Perclval w. Clement, candidate
for governor, and V. A. Billiard,
the speakers, was spontaneous and
enthusiastic. AS Chairman ]. S.
Eaton said, "there seemed to be
few people left in Woodstock" "
though the Proctor people ran free
train to White River Junction to &C
commodate those wishing to attend
the rally there.
The Bridgewater band played in
the park before the meeting, and in
the hall the quartet sang several
times.
Chairman Eaton made briet but
entertaining speech in introducing
Mr.. Billiard, and referred to the So
called "renegade Democrats" and
renegade Republicans" of which
the Independent party is said to be
made up, his remarks receiving a
heavy round of applause.
Mr.. Billiard said in beginning his
remarks that he had never asked any
one to vote for him, but for the prin-
ciplcs upon which he stood. The
Republican party seemed to claim,
he said, some special service on be-
half OF Vermont schools, but he had
found that so years ago Vermont
stood nong the first OF the states as
regards school attendance and atten-
ton to education; now it had dropped
to the 27th place in half century Of
Republican rule.
Another machine slogan, was
"Decency in Politics." and this Mr..
Billiard used as topic for scathing
remarks on corrupt campaigns of the
past.
Mr.. Clement was received with
burst of applause when he was in
trOduced by Chairman Eaton. He
referred to the aroused interest in the
Independent movement in opposi-
ton to the machine; the latter, he
said, couldn't reform itself it needs
graft and oil to keep it running. He
referred sarcastically to certain futile
attempts at "reform within the
party" and advised the voters not to
wait longer for reform from the Re
publican politicians.
The matter of increased state ex-

penses was brought to the audience
very convincingly by the speaker
and the results Of the investigation
of state institutions were analyzed
somewhat to the discredit OF the lie
publican managers and apologists.
He made no reckless charge OF graft
but CONDEMNED severely the loose au-
diting of state business and its natural
results.
The audience paid the closest at
tention to the speakers, selection
by the band ending rousing turn
out Of Woodstock voters and others
from a distance.

Shot in SeIf-DefenSe.

George Niles, expert electrician
for the Springfield Electric railroad,
fired three effectual shots for sell de-
Tense into Alfred and Frank Blanch-
ard, at his home in Springfield Sun
day afternoon. The Blanchards are
brothers of the young lady to whom
Niles has been attentive and trouble
had been caused between them.
The BlanChdrds assaulted Niles
while reading in his parlor and a
fierce fight resulted. Niles was nearly
choked to death and warned them
off, but to no effect, and as they
sprang for him the second time he
fred three shots, all taking effect.
After the shooting Niles notified
by telephone Justice OF the Peace NJ.
l.. Lawrence and a deputy sheriff,
who came and arrested him.
1t is not thought that the wounds
OF. either of the brothers will prove
fatal. Andrew was shot in the alb
domen, the bullet passing into his
thigh, while Frank received a bullet
in each leg. According to the story
OF Niles the Blanchards, who were
apparently under the influence of
liquor, entered the house where all
three boarded and created distur-
bance. Niles ordered them to de-
sist, and he says that they then at
tackled him, whereupon he secured a
revolver and fired in self defense.

Bethel Boy Taken to Asylum.

The barns belonging 10 the E. b.

Abbott farm on Christian hill in
Bethel, were consumed by fire the
afternoon of August I6, The prem
Uses were occupied by VIM. Bishop.
William Weeks, a boy II years old,
who boarded in the family of Mr..
Bishop, was asked if he set the fire,
and at first answered that he did and
showed he did it, but later denied it.
His father is driller at the Ellis
quarry and went to Bethel the past
summer from Barre.
The town authorities Of Bethel
considered the matter Of enough i'm
portance to demand the restraint OF
the boy, and the father took his son
to the state hospital for the insane
at Waterbury Saturday. 1t seems
that before Mr.. Weeks and son went
to Bethel there was a fire at Barre
with suspicious circumstances point

The story comes from South hill
in Ludlow that Miss Ida Northup,
while walking from S. S. Mayo's to
her home, about half a mile, one
evening last week, distinctly heard,
in the bushes along the road, the cry
of an animal supposed to be pan
ther. Its cry closely resembled that
of child, and the sounds continued
as though the animal was following
her and were heard by her parents
after she reached home. In addition
to this it was stated that panther
was really seen in Plymouth the
other day, the seer being within a
rod Of the animal, who was on the
opposite side Of the road. 1t is
maintained by net few that the de-
cided increase in the number OF deer,
under the protection of existing law,
induces the coming of these other
wilder and more felociOus providers.
The man behind the gun would
seem to have chance to show his
craftsmanship il panthers are roam
ing on nearby hills.
