"Begin at Home"

You must begin by organizing, first To-

and get it to thinking right; then organize
as much as you like and begin at home.
And then don't think you have done a

Murder at Newnort Center

Dwight A. Niles, aged %, shot and
instantly killed his wife, Louisa M. Niles.
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Asa Lamb, about half a mile from
Newport Center station, at 7 o'clock
Saturday evening, and made his escape.
Niles was a brakeman on the Central
Vermont railway and was injured re-
Gently. He came home few days ago
to recuperate. He was married about a
year ago, but had not been living with
his wife for some time. Saturday after
noon he called at the residence of E. H.
Buck, where she was employed, in New
port, and demanded to see her. She
refused to see him at that time and took
the Canadian Pacific express which
leaves Newport at $50 p. m. for her
fathers home in Newport Center, as she
was accustomed to do Saturday nights
to spend Sunday with her parents. Niles
boarded the train and also left the car at
Newport Center. He followed her to the
house, vainly entreating to have her live
with him again. As she turned her head
to enter the gateway of her house he
drew a revolver from his pocket and
fired one shot which took effect back of
the right ear, passing through her head,
lodging under the left eye. Niles ran
toward the town and was pursued by
officers. Both parties are well known in
Newport Center and Newport village.
Niles is a member of Frontier Lodge,
Odd Fellows, also Co. L, Vermont
National guard. His wife was the
daughter of Asa Lamb, a well-to-do
farmer, and her parents are Frustrated.
Sunday night Niles attempted to cut his
throat at Richford, but was captured
and brought to Newport Monday noon,
where he is lodged in the county Jail.
