 Three of the women were not young. although the signs of age had betp modified by careful grooming and dili gent massage. Mrs. Amesbury even looked young with her, slender figure, her shining hair and her grace of gest ture and of carriage.
 But Tressc Stuart was young. and therein lay the difference that made Mrs. Amesbury uneasy.

windows and around the caves of the
rear part of the building In good shape.
1t was more difficult matter, however
to find out the exact location of the
fire but after few minutes Ii was
found to be between. the first and sec
ond floors right near the chimney from
which it had caught. Both of the fire
companies mentioned then put streams
on the smoking mass and soon had the
fire extinguished. The release was
rung in at about l2:45.

was slight. was caused for the most
part by smoke and water. the fire not

WORK ON DAM BEGUN
About 325 Men Now Employed on Con-
nec.icut River at Vernon.

Brattleboro, Dec. SLATER much
preparatory work and some delays due
to high water and storms, the actual
concrete construction work on the
dam across the Connecticut river at
Vernon, five miles south of this village
which will develop $1,000 horsepower
for transmission by electric wires, was
begun yesterday.
The beginning was made on dry
land on the New Hampshire side of
the river, where channel twelve feet
wide has been cut in solid rock founda.
tion to receive the concrete. The big
stone crusher. which is grinding up
rock for the concrete, has capacity
of $50 tons a day. The four pumps
which will empty the cofferdam which
extends from the New Hampshire side
of the river to midstream also were
started yesterday and are pumping out
the water at a rate of 1000 gallons a
minute. The cofferdam probably will
be emptied this week A channel will
be cut liz the rock in the river bed and
the foundation there will be forty feet
wide in the widest place. About 1926
men are employed and the operations
present a lively appearance.

round, with honors even.
Attell had a slight advantage in the
ninth round, during which little harm
was done.
In the tenth round no hard fighting
was done. The fight up to this time
was practically even.
The eleventh was an even round.
Atteil appeared trifle worried in
the twelfth. Moran's right swing to
the jaw in this round was the best
blow of the fight.
The thirteenth was tame. Moran hav-
ing shade the better of 1t.
In the fourteenth round Attell warn
ed Moran for holding while Jeffries
pried the fighters apart. Attell struck
Moran several times after the gong
rang and was repeatedly Kissed by the
crowd. He was reprimanded by the
referee as he took his seat.
Both men displayed some clever
ducking and footwork in the fifteenth,
although Moran's left eye was swollen
as he went to bis corner.
Attel had a good lead in the eight
eenth round and landed some damag-
ing face and body blows, particularly
a right jolt over the heart early In the
round.
Moran had the better of the nine

Attell, with singing left to Mo-
rams nose, started the blood afresh In
tn latter part of the twentieth round.

the center of the ring smiling and chew
ing his gum. Moran rushed and shot
his left to the body. Abe clinched.
On the break Moran tried to get In a
right, but this was blocked, and Attell
| shot left to the chin. Moran rushed
the little fighter to the ropes and lapd-
ed twice ON the body, but the blows
were not hard enough to hurt. Attell
stood off, and jabbed the Britisher
three times on the chip. The round
ended with the men fighting so furi-
ously at close quarters that Jeffries,
as be gave his decision that the fight
| was draw, had much difficulty In
separating the combatants.

CRAZY CH|NAMAN
RUNSAMUCKAND
SHOOTS ONE
Henry Joe Turns Small Revolver
Loose on Crowd
PROBABLY CRAZED BY DOPE
J. G. 6oIio Receives Shot In the Wrist
-chink Arrested and Lodged
In Jail.

Wung King Goo. alias Henry Joe,
the Chink who conducts laundry and
other mysterious things in Hawks
building at the foot of Gage street ran
amuck Tuesday night and tried to
shoot up the town.
Evidently this son of the Flowery
Kingdom has been going wrong in his
top story for some time and his
neighbors for week past have been
more or less leary Of him. States
Attorney Meagher's attention was
called to 1t and he had him looked up,
but just then Joe was comparatively
peaceful and the states attorney put
on further action until after the Mahan
trial.
Early Tuesday evening Joe broke
loose and with revolver and box of
cartridges started in to disturb the
quiet of that peaceful section of the
town, Some people thought he was
using blank cartridges and merely
celebrating New Years eve, while
others were wiser and gave him a
wide berth.
The crazy Chinaman emptied his re-
Volyer several times during the even
ing but only one bullet reached hum.
| an target. J. c. Bolio was struck in
the wrist by one of the lead missiles
| and sustained a painful wound. The
ball which was of small calibre, either
% or 81. was removed later by DR. H.
j. Potter.
1t Is presumed that some of the car.
tridges used by the demented celestial
were blanks. He was absolutely reck.
less In the use of the gun and had
there been bullets in all of the car
tridges there would have been more
| injuries IL not fatalities.
| The police reserves were called out
and while Chief Brazell was telephon.
| ing for help Former Fire Chief Fred
Silver and John Murphy gathered In
the celestial aided by the assistance of
about 200 men and boys standing at a
safe distance.
A procession then formed and escort.
ed the chinaman to the sacred pre-.
cincts of the county Jail, where he is a
drug in the market His room is
better than his company and neither
one is very desirable.
The chinaman is probably dope
fiend and has other bad habits. 1t is
said that he has a first-class arsenal in
his place of business. including guns
knives and tomahawk. People living
In his section think he may have a
place in this world. but that his place
is not here.
