Woodbury., Conn, April 25.-Deer
have raised such havoc with the rye

New Yorker, who has extensive
landed interests on the east side of
the Pomperaug Valley, that he has
been compelled to resort to the rife

that If the Waterbury institution was

he did not propose to transport his

Of them anything but himself or her

a subway station.
She came In carrying in one hand a
nun and in the other box of polished
oak that was narrow and proportion
ately high and maybe n foot in length.
That the box was heavy was shown
by the fact that the leather handle
had been stretched somewhat by its
weight.
And apparently its present carrier
had found 1t heavy and was curious
about its weight. for now she set the
box on the platform of one Of those
weighing machines and dropped pen
ny in the slot II weighed ten pounds,
certainly heavy box to carry. That
was all she wanted to know-didn't

OUT OF WORK
Seventeen Year Old Husband
Killed Bis Wife and Then
BimSeIf
MARRIED TWO MONTHS

Salem, Mass, April 25-Harry H
Lebaron, II years of age, to-day shot
and killed his wife, to whom he was
married in February and then COM
mitted suicide. A note left by the
couple showed that they had agreed
to die together. Dependency be-
cause the young husband could not
secure employment is ascribed as the
cause of the tragedy.
The shooting occurred at 49R
Bridge street, where the couple lodg-
ed in the house of the young mans
father. Young Lebaron and his wife
appeared to be in good spirits when
they had breakfast with the other
members of the household this morn
ing. Soon after breakfast the young
mans mother heard pistol shots. She
rushed upstairs to the room occupied
by the couple and found them both
dead. The young woman was lying
on the bed with bullet wound over
her heart. Lebaron was on the floor
having shot himself through the
heart. Death in both cases was in
staneous.
Careful preparations for death had
been made by the couple. Nothing in
the room was disarranged in any way
Several notes were left, all of them
written by the wife. Only one OF
these notes was made public by the
medical examiner.
This note was pinned to an embroi-
dered shirt waist that had been laid
on a desk in the room. 1t was ad-
dressed to the elder Mrs Lebaron and
read as follows:
When | am buried please have
this waist put on me. 1t is the pret-
tiest one have and is the one | was
married in"
Mrs Lebaron was the same age as
her husband, II years. Her maiden
name was Edna May Sanford.

BILLS in CONGRESS
Several VIII Not Be Reported
Until The Currency Bill is
Passed.

Washington, April 25.-That the
public buildings bill will not be re-
ported to the house until it is as
sured that the bill will have the
right of way, the day after it is re-
ported is asserted by Representative
Barthodlt, chairman of the commit
tee on public buildings and grounds.
Mr. Bartholdt made the statement
late yesterday after a meeting of the
committee which lasted for the
greater part Of the afternoon. 1t
is said the reason that the public
buildings bill was not reported yes
terday was that the leaders of the
house have determined to hold the
bill UP as club over the heads of
the members of the house until they
show willingness to pass a cur
rency bill.

Paris Newspapers Talking About
Due de ChauInes's Death.

Paris, April Notwithstanding
the official report that the Duke de
Chaulnes died from natural causes
the Paris newspapers print various
versions as to the manner and place
OF his sudden demise. The Petit
Journal says the duke died in a
small apartment in house belong
ing to his sister, the Duchess Dues
in the Rue vandyck. He retired
there Thursday night. according to
the Petit Journal, and not appear
ing Friday morning aservant entered
the apartment and found him dead
in bed, his features presenting livid
appearance as If decomposition had
set in. Beside the bed, says the
account, were bottles containing CO.
caine, ether and morphine. From
this the newspaper draws the de-
duction that death was due to an
overdose of drugs affecting a natur-
ally weak heart which the duke was
known to suffer from.

that he and Mr. Roosevelt had thor

and that their views coincide per-
fectly. He continued:
II oppose the exaggeration of any
one sport in our colleges. l do not
believe football should be given it's

and | believe does not compare with
rowing as college sport. Instead
of centering our athletic interest on

CORCORERY'S FISTS
Landed Right and Left on Beach
and BlakeSJee Landed in
Cooler.

Superintendent of Police Beach
was almost knocked out this after
noon from blow on the jaw de.iver.
ed by the mighty right hand of John
Corcorkry. Incidentally the superin.
| tendent figured in chase on North
Main street which attracted a large
crowd. Corcorkry is Brooklyn resi-
dent and few days ago was arrested
| by complaint of Ralph N. Blakeslee
his conservator. This afternoon
Blakeslee and the superintendent
were walking down North Main
street and near the Ideal drug store
they encountered Corcorkry, who
stopped to talk
Say, Mr. Blakeslee," he said
isn't there any chance for me to get
any of my money!"
You better go to work." replied
Ralph. While the conversation was
on Beach stepped to one side.
Without saying another word Cor
corkry let fly his right hand and then
the left, and both connected with Mr.
Blakeslee's face. The man who did
the heavy work started to run, but
Superintendent Beach grabbed him.
Corcorkry said he would go along
peacefully, SO the chief did not pay
much attention to him, but allowed
him to walk along without holding
him very tight. He sent Mr. Blakes-
lee into the drug store to telephone
for patrol wagon.
While Mr. Blakeslee was doing the
phone act there were moving pic
lures outside. The superintendent
never dreamed that Corcorkry would
make trouble and had his head
turned when suddenly he received
an awful wallop on his left jaw. He
said for moment he did not know
waht struck him.
He was brought to his senses by
the fieeting form of Corcorkry,
who was beating" it up North Main
street. Beach immediately gave
chase and shouted for pedestrians
to stop Corcorkry. But no one cared
to take chance with the fugitive,
who is a husky man. So Corcorkry
continued his flight and apparently
had a good chance of getting away.
But on Kingsbury street a man al
most as big as himself, hearing the
shouts of the chief ran out and,
grabbing Corcorkry by the neck,
threw him to the ground He was
then brought to the station in the
patrol.
