The fight was the result OF q
quarrel which arose over small

claimed his victims brother owed
him. Landrun claims that Odum
slurred his family and sneeringly
referred to forgery which had been
|committed and was amicably settled
in the family many years ago. The
quarrel only lasted q few mo-
ments when it came to blows. Spec.
tators of the fight say that Landrun
struck Odom heavy jolt in the left
eye whereupon Odom drew pocket
knife and began sslashing.
Before the bar flies could sep
arate the struggling men Udom had
stabbed his victim three times.
The sharp knife cut q severe cash
across the left, aide OF Landrun's
neck. The. second stab was made
in his left arm and was not serious.
The third was the most serious, the
knife blade piercing the left side OF
the chest and siE1king, Into the flesh
about an inch in depth. Had the
blade been an inch longer the final
blow would probably have ended

DIR. Stuart spoke OF the gambling
evil. The American nation has
gone wild over gambling. 1t has
become a fad to gamble. The mil

cards down at the saloon, the
young sport chucks dice at the

the newsboys in the street, stop

to the home life. He remarked that

that the hope of our nation is in

remarked. In closing he made an

Has1 Some Very Extravagent
lRreq fpls sfageTdAas
MEMBER OF The COUNCIL
Scores the Board Members
Good and Hard.
SAYS Board will Take In its Horns
When II Finds Out Size Of the
Appropriation.

AT the regular meeting OF council
tonight the semi-annual appropria
tions will be made and in order to
make both ends meet and tomake up
for the extravagances Of the retireu
city council, It will be necessary to
cut almost all of the departments.
The service board started out with
the most extravagant ideas and in
stead of something over $4,000 asked
by the board, it will receive only
about half of that sum, because coun-
Gill will have no more to give 1t. The
half yearly tax collection will net
the city about $4,000 and the liquor
tax will add about $1,000, making a
total of $4,000. The safety board has
asked for about $4,000 and as the
board needs practically all Of this to
pay the salaries of the police and
firemen, 1t cannot be cut down to
lany great extent.
The council which retired on jan
|uary 1, drew in advance $4,000 from
the county treasurer and the present
council intends to get along with
|out making 1t necessary to draw in
advance. A bond issue of $4,000 has
been authorized by council to take
up the notes against the city which
are drawing six per cent. interest
An additional issue of about 100000
will be necessary to take care OF
the improvement work started by the
retiring council-"the million dollar
council"
The finance committee Is now COM
posed OF Members J. G.. Setter, w.
j. Gorton and B. F. Waples, the first
named being chairman. The commit
tee went into session at two o'clock
this afternoon and spent several hours
|getting the appropriation ordinance
into shape for tonight's meeting. The
|committee intends that the appropria-
tions shall be kept within bounds, no
matter who is the sufferer.
A member of council took shot
at the service board this morning
saying that for extravaganza the
board is In good way toward eclips-
ing the record of the former council.
The board has employed two men to
look after the city streets and sewers.
+ s. R. Reber and George Blum are
the appointees. Although he Is a
Republican he said that Mr.. Blum. a
1 Democrat, should have been retained,
(which would have made an additional
appointment unnecessary and the city
would have saved money thereby. He
roasted the board for asking for an
appropriation for a new street sweep
'er, when the members OF the service
board have not been in office long
enough to know whether one is need
ed or not. He said that the service
board will have to haul in its horns
somewhat when It finds out how
much money will be appropriated by
the council.

FELL DOWN SHAFT
OF AN ELEVATOR
DR.. Charles S. Boynton Victim Of His
Own Carelessness at His Place of
Business in Burlington.

Burlington, Nav. 1e.--Dr. Charles
Smith Boynton, for the past "a years
employed by the Wells, Richardson
company as chemist and consulting
physician, met instantaneous death late
Saturday afternoon by falling down the
elevator shaft while going to his Office
on the fourth floor of the Well, Richard
son building.
DIR. Boynton had been to his stenog-
raphers' office on the third floor and was
about to take the elevator when the
accident happened He went to the
shaft and pulled the rope to raise the
elevator, which was below him He neg.
lected, however, to adjust a stop catch
which would have caused the elevator
to stop at the third floor, and to this
oversight he owes his death. As the
elevator passed the floor he stepped on
with one foot, and Immediately lost his
balance and fell back, grasping the ele-
vator door with one hand and a bar
that guards the shaft with the other
AS the elevator proceeded upwards his
body swung under it and he soon lost
his hold and dropped 40 feet to the con-
crete bottom Of the shaft. The back of
his head was crushed and he never NOV
ed after striking the base Of the shaft.
Dr.. Boynton was born in Laconia, N
H.. January s, 1886 In 1854 he mar
ried Miss Sarah George of Concord, n.
II. They had one child, Miss May o.

Attempted Murder at Brattleboro Last
Evening--Unknown Man Who Re-

Not Been Found.

Brattleboro, Nov. l6.--At 1880 last
evening, the Sunday quiet of South
Main street was rudely broken by three
revolver shots following which an Italian
was sent rapidly vending his way toward
the woods with blood streaming down
his back. The unknown was coatless
but waited not for medical attention or
warmer clothing. He lodged DIR. Leslie
Edwards and Archie Stockwell, who tried
to help him. Frank j. LaFrance, who
narrowly avoided being hit himself by
stray bullet, was found in a shady cor
ner by two pursuing Italians and had q
lively few moments establishing his iden-
tity
1t appears that the trouble dates back
a week or so when this fugitive from
vengeance ran away with the daughter
of Midio Miancini. The girl came back
in few days but was not married.
Mancini persuaded the young man Of the
advisability of speedy wedding, and
the ceremony was performed. Last night
the happy event was being celebrated
at the Mancini home, when trouble arose
in talking over the elopement.
The police could neither find out from
the jewellers who fired the shots or the
name of the man who has disappeared
with bullet hole in his back.
