SHOT HIS WIFE.
Joseph Haskins Of Bristol Sends
Three Bullets Into Wife's Body.

sJoseph Haskins. aged about 20 yeafs,
i'shot his wife at their home in Bristol
late Tuesday night. Three bullets from
32-caliber revolver took effect, one in
the back passed around the ribs to the
right side, another went through the
fieshy part of the right side Of the neck,
a third passed through the palm of her
right hand. 1t is expected that Mrs.
Haskins will recover.
Wednesday afternoon Haskins was
bound over to county court and taken to
the Jail at Middlebury. After the shoot
ing which occurred between ten and
eleven o'clock, Haskins forded the river
and went to the ball ground remaining
there several hours. Early Wednesday
morning he returned to his home and
was placed under arrest by Deputy Sher-
itf G. s. Farr assisted by Arthur Prince.
Haskins has always resided here and
has been OF quiet disposition, pleasant
and agreeable and considered one of
Bristol's best citizens. He has been
employed for some years as janitor of
the Bristol Manufacturing company and
has lived happily with his wife, 80 far as
is known. His son is the local post
master.
Two reasons are given, it is said, by
Haskins for his act That it was COM
mitted during moment of temporary
insanity and second that he was under
the spell of a nightmare from which he
did not recover until after the shooting
Mrs. Haskins's version is that her hus-
band came into her room and commenced
talking. She noted that he acted strange
ly and suddenly he began shooting. She
managed to get out of bed and grabbed
the revolver, her arm being burned by
the powder. She ran across the street to
g. w. Norton's where she was cared for
None of her wounds are considered fatal.

citation. The plan will be to have each
subject introduced by some competent
person, and then opportunity will be Civ
en- for questions by all present.
Sunday School workers are urged to
note these topics. and to come with their
questions already written and ready to
hand In to Miss Balch. No name is to
g signed to any question, in order that
greater fl eedom may be felt in writing
questions.
This Institute is bound to be one of the
most valuable opportunities for help in
Sunday School work, and all who are in
terested in the Sunday School are urged
to be present.
If there are any church members who
are not in the Sunday School, they are
especially invited to attend this Institute,
to know whaHthe Sunday School of today
is doing for the Church.
POSER.
About 80 per cent. of the additions to
the Church come every year from the
Sunday School. Only about 60 per cent.
of those in Sunday School are ever con-
verted.
Query: /. What is the Church, apart
from the Sunday School, doing to con.
vert the masses of the people?
2. How could the Church fulfil her
mission without the Sunday school?
Watch for itinerary.
