D. B. VAUGHN KILLED.
Shot by Son Of Ex-Congress-
man Moody. at Waynes-
vile

The many friends of Mr.. d. B.
Vaughn in this city were shock
ed to- learn of his tragic death at
the hands of Jim" Moody, son
of Ex-Congressman Moody, on
the streets of Waynesville last
Thursday night.
According to an eve witness,
Moody and Vaughn, between
whom it is said, bad feelings had
existed for some time, met on
Main street. Vaughn, tits said,
called Moody to him, telling the
latter that he, (Vaughn), wished
to apologize for having insulted
Moody some time ago. 1t is said
that Moody thereupon called
Vaughn a ID rascal" and
pulled a revolver which he fired
point blank at his victim. The
bullet lodged in Vaughn's abdo-
men and the wounded man fell
to the street, exclaiming that he
had been shot. The report of
the pistol brought a large crowd
to the scene and in the excite
ment Moody made good his es-
cape. Witnesses claim that
Vaughn had no earthly chance to
defend himself, the action of the
would-be slayer being totally un-
expected.
An operation was performed
on the wounded man the follow
ing morning, but despite all that
medical skill could do for him,
ne died at oi15.
Both principals in the affair
live in Waynesville. Vaughn is
a travelling salesman for UNI
barger and CO., a New York
firm. Moody, as stated, is the
son of the late Congressman
Moody, who was once elected or
the republican ticket to repre-
sent this congressional district
and who was defeated for
. second term by ex-Congressmal
Gudger.
The shooting IS bitterly de
nounced by all classes of citizen
in Waynesville, and no effort, j
, is said, willTbe spared to loeat'
: Vaughn's assailant and bring hin
to speedy trial.
The wounded man has man,
friends in Hendersonville, wher
he has called regularly ON Gus
: toners. Those who know hin
, say that he was not of a quarrel
!. some disposition, but was Away
obliging and affable.

Col. w. G. Corpening, of Ashe-

and gave the Hustler a pleasant
call. He is the oldest railroad
contractor perhaps in the South,
having devoted some 40 years to
that work. He built 200 miles of
the Southern Railroad, and at
tended the first meeting that was
held in Hendersonville for the
purpose of organizing the Spart-
tanburg and Asheville Railroad,
and had many good things to say
for our growing city.

A MESSAGE FROM
Mr.. CRAWFORD.
Editor of the Hustler:

Editor of the Hustler:
| take this opportunity to thank
every democrat in the Tenth dis
trict who did what he could to
sustain the cause of democracy
at the recent election. While
we have been defeated, the party
is neither disorganized nor. dis
eouraged, and, in my judgment,
the district will take its place in
the democratic column at the
next election. The loss of the
Tenth district by the narrow
margin. of 355 should not sur
prise us when we consider that
the Fifth district, which gave
Mr.. Kitchin more than 5, 600 ma
iority two years ago, has been
transferred to the republican
column, and the Eighth district,
with a majority of 800 two
years ago, has elected republic
can by a majority Of 1,600. The
causes and influences which
operated in the overthrow of
those districts also entered as
elements to supplant us in the
Tenth.
Different. causes have contrib
uted to our defeat. The pro-
gressive legislation of the last
general assembly along certain
lines was not satisfactory to
many, and was misrepresented
and misunderstood by others, to
the prejudice of<the democratic
party. And bogus and false is
sues were raised on other ques-
tons, and especially on wood
pulp, lumber and news print
paper, which doubtless lost us
some votes. In addition, there
was not entire harmony and one
ness of purpose among democrats
I'm some of the counties on local
matters, which is apparent after
the smoke has cleared away.
But these things cannot con-
tinue. If our theory of govern
ment is correct, the people have
the wisdom to discover truth and
falsehood, and have the integrity
and manhood to accept the truth
and repudiate the error.
The party in the district has
not lost, but gained votes. The
election returns will show that
the vote is larger by 1,5O0 to
1000 than at any election since
1910. It will also appear that
Mr.. Taft's majority over Mr..
Bryan is several hundred more |
than Mr.. Grants over me, and
that my vote is substantially the
same as the state and local tick
cts.
/ have no complaint to make or
criticism to ,offer. When the YER
dict of the people is rendered, II
am content. But my faith in the
ultimate triumph of the princi-
piles of democracy is mistaken.

DRoUrH AN0 FOREST FIRES.
Many Water Supplies Almost Ex-
hausted.--Damage to Timber.

n0A@NG0s--6 &tuG8G 70 NN0N0Efs
The unparalleled drouth is causing i'm
mense loss and Inconvenience to Vermont
through forest fires and depletion Of wa
ter supplies.
The forest fire which has been raging
on Enosburg hill broke out Oct. Is in
large tract OF spruces owned By DR.. Will
liam Stanford Stevens and much timber
has been destroyed. The fire has swept
over a large area doing much damage.
The cause OF the fire remains unkno n
although hunters were seen there the day
the blaze started. The fire ran over q
section OF about two miles long and near
ly one mile wide. It has run through one
hundred acres owned by Doctor Stevens,
through Clarence Whitcomb's woods, and
M. l. Whitcomb's mountain lot. G. b.
Whitcomb has lost q quantity of valuable
timber. A large force OF men have been
fighting the fire.
A fire on Mount Anthony, Bennington.
has been fought the last week, but with
out much apparent success. There is q
large grass swamp at the top Of the
mountain and the fire made rapid head
way. Fire has also been discovered on
the mountain on the easterly side of the
valley.
A serious forest fire has been raging on
Mount Horrid in Goshen for the past few
days. Nearly a hundred men have been
there fighting the flames. Considera BILE
damage has been done to wood lots
owned by the international Paper Co.,
Baker Bros. of Brandon and to the BattelI
woods.
Forest fires in Plymouth last week
threatened the mountain sides but the
damage was much overestimsted. A fire
started on Saltash mountain Thursday,
Oct. Is, burning over from 100 to 200
acre of stslash," left by timber cutters,
but no standing timber has been de-
stroyed and nc buildings burned. A fire
in Tyson, another section of Plymouth,
burned over few acres, but this was also
controlled.
After several thousand acres OF valuable
timber land on Kirby mountain and Vic
tory hill had been burned over, the fire
fighters checked the progress of the flames
by digging q trench eight miles long. thus
enclosing much of the burning tract.
They have worked INCREASINGLY and one Of
the most tireless workers was Millionaire
Elmer Darling, the owner OF the Fifth
Avenue hotel in New York, who, with
the International Paper company, was the
chief loser in the devastation of the fire.
1t is estimated that between twoa three
thousand acres were burned over, the fire
having started on Kirby mountain
through the carelessness Of some hunter.
At one time the flames were within two
miles OF Lyndonville village and many
farm buildings have been threatened with
destruction. Hundreds of men turned
out to stay. the progress Of the flames,
Mr.. Darling, whose palatiaI summer
home is in Burke, being one Of the first
to respond. Just what his loss will be
and that Of the International paper COM
pany is uncertain. There are besides
many smaller owners who are hard hit BY
the FIRE.

men have been fighting the fire. The
churches in Mendon, Chittenden and
East Pittsford were almost bare of-men
Oct. IS Is a result. The fire was thought
to be under control ct midnight. but the
high winds of the morning famed the
flames so that the fire was less than &
mile from Mendon village last week Mon
day. Two thousand acres Of woodland
have been burned over. The loss so far
is confined to timber and pulpwood.
Fires on Bald mountain in Bennington,
Green mountain in Glastonbury and in
the Red Mill district in Searsburg burned
over large territories last week.
Monday night there was q heavy frost
which deposited 50 much moisture on the
leaves that the fires were checked during
the early morning and forenoon and un-
til the sun again dried out the surface of
the ground and made the litter eombusti-
bic. The same condition prevailed for
some days, but each afternoon it was
necessary to send men to one or all Of
these localities to fight the fires. 1t was
hoped TO check it by means OF beating
and thrsshing with large brooms. special
ly contrived for the purpose, and by
clearing all the roads of any infiammable
material, making gaps which it was
thought would impede the flames consid-
erably.
The village water supply at Stowe,
which held mp remarkably well until last
week. has since then failed rapidly and
the commissioners were Obliged to take
stringent measures to prevent waste.
A fire started last Thursday in the
Rouse woods between the village of Essex
Junction and Hugh Teachout's place,
supposedly from spark from an engine
on the Central Vermont railway. About
thirty-ive acres of light or brush wood
was burned over, reaching through to the
road to North Williston and dangerously
near several houses.
Serious forest fires have been raging
near Oxford. N. H., where Governor
Prouty's firm of Prouty & Miller owns
several thousand acres. A large force of
men has been at work, but II is feared
that the whole lumber tract is doomed.
/ Col. Charles K. Nelson OF Derby Line.
Governor Prouty's chief Of staff, reported
that fires are devastating timber land
owned by him in Belvidere, where q
large force OF men has been employed
fighting flames.
Becoming convinced that the forest
fires on Bald mountain are being set, the
selectmen Of Bennington Friday offered a
reward OF <1OO Tor evidence that would
lead to the conviction OF any offender. At
that time the fire in BicKford hollow, be-
tween Bald mountein in Bennington and
Green mountain in Glastonbury, was
burning more .fercely than at any time
since it was first discovered Sunday
morning.
Fire started Thursday in the white
birches about one quarter Of q mile west
Nsn -. nrkt - a
powder plant buildings at Swanton, and
to prevent its approach nearer to the
plant buildings a long trench was dug.
A large number OF men fought the FIRE
Thursday and Friday to prevent its
spreading and It is now under control,
but it has done some damage to the for
ests west and north Of the plant, and the
Canadian Atlantic railroad yards. II is
supposed the FIRE caught from ires set
near the track by engines.
The fires which have been burning
