RECEIVER is NAMED
TO PROTECT EAGER
J. B. Randoil VIII Have Charge Of
Drawing Lumber Brought and Cut
by the Interstate Lumber Com.
pany in Town OF Newfane.

A petition was brought in the court
Of chancery Tuesday by Walter Eager
OF Newfane 10 have receiver ap.
pointed for the Interstate Lumber
company of Ncwfane To protect him
under his contract with the company.
The petition was signed by Judge W.
H. Taylor and was served Tuesday
by Deputy Sheriff c. !. Knapp on
Frank A. Dewitt Of Newfane and
Fred c. Cutler Of Brookline, agent of
the company. The teSms of the con.
tract show that Eager sold 10 the
company Sept. 10 for $500 all the
standing timber on two of the lots
Of his land. and under the terms of
the contract all Of the lumber was to
be removed in three years. The tim
ber was To be drawn 10 Wellman g mill
in Newfane TO be measured and for
every 1000 feet the company was to
pay s.. Payments were 20 be made
on the first and 18th of every month
until the $500 was paid. The com.
pany placed in the hands of Frank
4. De Witt $500 as forfeit in case
the contract should be broken. About
100000 feet were cut and only $4,000
feet were drawn. The company then
stopped business. In his petition the
orator states that he believes the com.
pany will not resume operations. that
ii will not be able TO draw out the
timber already cut, and that the tim.
ber will rot on the ground and be of
little or no value. The orator further
states that he believes that the com.
pany has parted with substantial
portion of it's assets by allowing a
title to real estate pass out of its
hands TO Benjamin Howard, heavy
creditor. In his prayer the orator
asks that the Interstate company be
from selling or conveying
said lumber, that F. A. De Witt be
enjoined from paying the $500 to the
company and that receiver be ap-
pointed to take charge of the lumber,
draw ii to the mill and sell it and from
the proceeds pay the amount due the
Judge Taylor appointed
Wednesday J. b. Randoll as receiver
and he took personal charge of the
work yesterday. Gibson & Waterman

KILLED HER CHUM
AND SHOT HERSELF
Miss Sarah G. Weed, Sister Of Mrs
George w. Pierce Of This Town,
Committed Act In a Fit OF
Temporary Insanity.

Miss Sarah Chamberlain Weed Of th,
Chestnut Hill district, Philadelphia. q
sister of Mrs. George W. Pierce of this
town, shot and killed Miss Elizabeth
Bailey Hardee Of East Savannah, Ga
Wednesday at the Lawrence school on
the Audubon road in Fenway, Boston
and then committed suicide. The act
was done in state of mental aberra.
| tion due 10 overwork and worry which
reduced Miss Weed 10 nervous pros.
tra,ion and melancholia. She had been
confined in sanatorium in Newton
but escaped Tuesday afternoon. Miss
Weed acted peculiarly Tuesday night
I but Miss Hardee quieted her and as.
sisted her TO bed. During the night
Miss Weed came to Miss Hardee s
room in a state of nervous excitement.
Miss Hardee told her that she might
remain with her during the remainder
of the night. At o clock Wednesday
morning the matron, Mrs. Page, began
10 make arrangements for Miss Weed
20 return to Newton on the early
morning train. A few moments later
Mrs Page heard two pistol shots and
found both women dead in bed.
Miss Hardee and Miss Weed had
been fast friends since their gradua.
tion from Wellesley in 1899. Each
took up the work of teaching and it
had been the ambition of both women
to open school for girls. Several
years of the hardest kind of prepara-
tion for school was just materializing
when Miss Weeds health began to
fail. In August Miss Weed showed
signs of breaking down but this was
in the midst of the opening of the
school which she had put forth unceas.
ing labor TO attain When the school,
known as the Lawrence school, was
opened in September she was obliged
to go to the sanatorium in Newton. /,
No trouble is known to have existed
between Miss Weed and Miss Hardee.
Each was refined, cultured, and liter
airy and seemed to be a complement of
the other. Both were writers of ability
and were successful in getting their
stories in the best magazines. Miss
Weed was a regular contributor to the
Youth S Companion and several other
well known periodicals.. She was born
in Saratoga, N. Y, IN May, 1878.
While young girl she came to Yer
mont and lived in Ludlow. just pre-
vious to her entrance to the Northfield
seminary she lived in Brattleboro for
a time. She was graduated from the
seminary at the head of her class.
Miss Weed then entered Wellesley and
was graduated from there with honors.
She returned to Northfield as teach
er of English and mathematics and
there for three years. She
then went to Boston and taught in |
Newtonville high school. All this time
she and Miss Hardee were working
,ut their scheme for opening school
If their own and this year was to ses
the realization of their ambitions.
Every thing looked toward success.
The school opened with 40 pupils, but
he sad turn of affairs has put an end
o the work.
Miss Weeds body will be taken to
