VISITOR
Ray COOmer Of Greensboro Shot
BY Levi Partridge
HALF HEAD BLOWN OFF
Alleged Murderer Wanted to XIII Him
self But Was Prevented by His
Wife.

Barton, Dec. Ray Coomer OF
Greensboro about "a years of age was
shot and killed Saturday in the home
Of Levi Partridge, one mile from Clio
yer village, and Partridge is locked
up on the charge OF killing him. For
some time Coomer has been rather
intimate with Mrs, Partridge and his
attentions have been the cause Of con
siderable trouble in the Partridge fam
lily.
Last July Partridge swore out a war
rant for Coomer on a statutory charge
and he was lodged IN Newport Jail
Mrs. Partridge left home but a recon
ciliation was affected and Partridge
gave bail for CoOmer's release and
warned him to keep strictly away.
OF late his attentions became more
marked, and about three o'clock Sat
urday afternoon Partridge returned
from drawing wood and seeing Coon
er's horse hitched outside, entered the
kitchen. Finding Coomer and his
wife there, It is alleged, Partridge took
down shotgun and fired at COomer
point blank, blowing of one side Of
his head and killing him instantly.
Partridge then threatened to shoot
himself, but his wife prevented him,
and as Boswell Leonard OF Glover hap
pened to be passing. he was called in,
Selectman A. c. Phillips was notified.
and he and Constable A G.. Sargent
arrested Partridge and turned him
over to States Attorney w. NJ. Wright
Of Barton. Partridge was locked up
In the police station here and was la
ter taken TO Newport.
He is about SO years OF age while
his wife is somewhat younger. The
people who knew the existing condit-
ions express no particular surprise al
the tragedy.
DR.. F. r. Hastings OF Barton arrived
at the house less than an hour after
the tragedy. He found Coomers body
stretched ON the floor aud Partridge

room holding the little child of Frank
Wolcott. who was being cared for by
he Partridges. He had revolver
In his possession and at intervals
threatened to kill himself. but his wife
said
Il brought you 70 II; don't kill your
self, perhaps people won't be too hard
on YOU" DR.. Hastings tried to per
suade Partridge to give up his weap-
on hut did not succeed.
Selectman Phillips says that Par
fridge has had considerable domestic
trouble the last two years but does not
place the blame for any OF the trouble
upon Partridge. who is a hard work

REPUBLICS BUREAU WORK
Mr.. Barrett on Needs of Trade With
Latin-America.

Washington, Dec. S.-The chief
necessity at present for the republics
of North America and South America
is fast mail, passengers and express
steamers from one to the other, says
John Barrett, director of the Interna
tional Bureau of American Republics,
in his annual report. He urges the
United States to do its part toward
supplying these steamers. In order
to make the exchange of trade be-
tween the American republics what 1t
should be, the director says, there
should be established in all these
countries banks controlled by the
United States and native capital or
direct and exclusive agencies Of
representative United States banks
Another need is a greater familiarity
on the part of commercial interests
In the United States with the char
acteristics and special demands of the
Latin-American market.
The report advises the business
men of the United States 10 accept
the credit system in vogue through
out the greater part of Latin-Ameri-
ca, even II they do not fancy it.
The characteristics OF the Latin
American market, the report points
out. require sending there as agents
only refined and tactful men who
speak Spanish or Portuguese fiuently.
The work of the bureau has receiy-
ed a great impetus in the last year,
according to the report This was due
largely to the visit Of Secretary Root
to South America and Mexico in 1906
and 1907. the interest OF the diploma
tic representatives OF the Latin
American governments in Washington
and the gift of Andrew Carnegie OF
$4,000 for the erection Of a new
home for the bureau.
