Lyndonville. One Was an Only
Child.

Two sets of boys wearing apparel
found on the bank Of the river Mon
day evening siren gthened the fears
that had ce7ne with the failure Of
two boys to return home. A few
hours later the fears were confirmed
when two little bodies were removed
from the river, and two homes were
darkeped by the hand Of death. The
victims of the double drowning were
Leo, aged eight, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Beauregard; and William,
aged seven, son of Mr.. and Mrs Elmer
Jock. The details of the drowning
were not known. and probably never
will be known; but the boys went
@ut to the river back of the school,
house Monday afternoon at 3 sc
O'Clock. When Mr. Beauregard gea
home from his work and found his ser
still missing, he started in search
and it was soon found that the Jecl
boy was also missing The search
led to the river and there on the Eanl
they found several articles of ctoth
ing. The river was then searched
resulting in the recovegy of the hodle
at about s 80 10 clock.

HARDWICK ITALIAN SHOT.
Two Hardwick Foreigners Have Row
Sunday and One Shoots Other from
Ambush Later.

Angelo Lenzini, an Italian, was shot
in the back at Hardwick Sunday af-
ternoon probably by Spaniard named
Pedro Ruin, who is at large The
affair is alleged to have grown out of
party held on Saturday afternoon
which was attended by both men and
at which liquor is said to have flown
rather freely. The two men became
engaged in a debate. tLenzini is said
to have used a pitcher to punctuate
his argument. Ruins forehead was
laid open and it required some five
rstitches to close the wound. Ruin
wanted vengeance and it is said laid
in wait for Lenzini on the railroad
short distance from the town. A par
ty OF men, among whom was Lenzini,
came along the track and were startled
by revolver shot from some
bushes behind them. Lenzini reeled
and fell to the ground. The other men
turned their attention to him and the
man who fired the shot and who is al
legged to have been Ruin, escaped.
Lenzlni was rushed to the local hospi-
tai and the physicians made an at
tempt to locate the bullet with probes.
1t was found and proved to be a 32-
calibre missile. States Attorney Guy
Hill OF st. JOhnSbury came and took
charge of the case, and Sheriff Winch
is trying to locate Ruin as the man
who fired the shot. Ruin is a Spaniard
of dark complexion, about 81 years of
age and weighs about $50 pounds. The
bullet took effect in one lung, ranging
upward from the back.

Lifelong Unfortunate Killed Hlmsaif
at Moment Of Luck's Turn.

A French provincial newspaper tells
a story Of the irony of fate The hero
was a notary's clerk, named Lemer-
cier, who had a remarkable series OF
reverses of fortune
He seems to have been q hoodoo,
for something was bound to go wrong
with every Arm he joined in the ca
pacity Of clerk or cashier. Always Ill
paid and wretchedly unhappy, the
youth was in tura a gardener, a por.
ter, a carter and anything else that
enabled him to buy bread, till after
10 years Of a hand-to-mouth struggle
he returned TO his native village Of
Breval, near Nantes, and was taken
In by a charitable person. In vain
he sought for work, and he contracted
some unavoidable small debts.
The other morning an imperative
knocking at the door announced tha
emissaries Of the law The wretched
Lemercier barricaded himself In and
then hanged himself When a lock-
smith had broken open the door Lee
mercier was dead. The intruder had
not come to arrest him. but to an
nounce that distant relative had left.

The chsrIemaans BOSE Tree.

The most venerable rose tree in ex.
istence is said to bloom against the
ancient church Of Hildesheim in Ger
many. Notwithstanding the many
parties which at different times have
been in the ascendency, they all seem
to have respected and tended the rose
tree, which it is said was planted By
Charlemagne, The trunk is now al
most as big as a mans body. There
are FIVE principal limbs trained against
the church, the tree being protected by
iron ratings inclosing an area Of about
rs square feet. The rude German sol.
diers in early ages tended the tree,
Catholics and Protestants, In turn
masters of the town, drained the
ground, the soldiers of Turenne fast
tened up the branches with clamps
and those of Napoleon, a century and
half later, erected the ratings.
