KILLED WITH PENKNIFE
WATERFOWL SchooIboy Stabbed by Man
With Whom He Quarrclcd.

Watertown, April 12.-Rohert
Downs, a school lad, lies dead in his
home tonight from the effects of
wound in the neck, inflicted by VIII
liam Mclaughlin, aged forty, with
whom he had had trivial dispute.
Downs was on his way to church this
forenoon when he met Mclaughlin at
the railroad station and got int, an
argument which at no time apparent
ly became heated and the knife
wound was inflicted II Is thought with
some element of accident. The knife
was a pocket one with small blade
perhaps not over two inches I'm length,
| and this blade sank into Downs
neck, covering an artery so that he
bled to death In ten minutes. A doc
tor was called and was at Downs
side within five minutes after the
wound was given, but he could not
save the lad. Mclaughlin tried to
run away, but was arrested and taken
to the lookup by Deputy Sheriff Peck.
Coroner Higgins of Litchhcld county,
was notified.

lage board passed resolution an
nexing additional territoy, taking
in all the plated addition to Beach.
This is a good move and Il timely
one. Now for a reorganization
Of our school district and IL new
school house.
There is petition being circu-
lated asking the school board to
call IL special election to vote on
the question of bonding the dis
trict for s., 600 for school house
purposes. This has been voted
ON before and defeated and will
be defeated again if left to the vo-
tiers of our present district: and
moreover, IS, 600 is not sufficient
to build Il school house large
enough to accommodate the children
that will attend school here wear
or two from now. If VIC are 90
ing to build school house let us
build one that will be credit to
the town and at the same time be
big enough to accommodate all our
children for ut least five wears to
come.
In our opinion it would be bet
ter to make Beach an independent
district, including all surrounding
territory adj accnt to the town, and
then put the bonding question to
the voters of the new district.
Bonds for a $40, 600, SIS, 200 or
$50, 900 school house would then
easily carry.
Farmers who live out ten or fif

send their children to a country

than Congressman Gronna and no member
of congress has been more loyal to the in
terests of his constituents. He has re-
manned in congress during all the time
measures were pending of interest to the
state and he has been heardeon the floor in
favor of all measures beneftting the people
of the state. A shrewd business man, a
loyal republican, consistent party man
and an upright and creditable represent
alive of the Scandinavian people, there is
no man in the state a worthier candidate
for Office than Mr.. Gronna and he will have
splendid following at the primaries.
In addition to his good work for the
homesteaders of the state, Mr.. Gronna has
a splendid record as member of congress
in his efforts in behalf Of the farmers. He
has stood for increased rural mail facilities,
for better protection of bank deposits, and
has been numbered among the alert, ener-
getic and valuable members of congress.

not fair to ask them to. Let the
country people pay for their coun-
try schools and let the city people
and people adjacent to the city
build and pay for the city school.
Our district is too large and bonds
to build big city school will never
carry. That is our view but there
is chance for an arguments and
seeing the Importance of the issue
we have secured the opinion of
some of our business men and
farmers, which will be found on
another page. We were not able
to sec them all but we will be glad
to hear from every business man
and property holder in town and
from the farmers too. We would
like everyone to express their opin-
ion on this school proposition in
the columns of the Chronicle, es-
pecially the farmers.
We also suggest that public
mass meeting be held to discuss
the matter and find out how the
people stand, before taking steps
in any direction.
