three young men from the south part Of
the town while passing a wheelwright
shop about 1880 O'Clock at night, were
neld up BY two men who came from the
doorway Of the shop and with pistols pre-
sented demanded q surrender Of their
cash. The robbers got about 36 cents
from their victims. An opinion has been
expressed by some that It IL an even
chance that the revolvers or pistols were
not loaded, but that the whole matter
sport.
That Otto Sandstrom Of West Rutland
met death by foul play is the belief OF his
relatives who came to attend the funeral.

Il. Stone OF Burlington to ascertain the
exact cause Of death. 6andstrom was
supposed to have met his death by
downing while in an intoxicated condi-
ton and no autopsy was performed on
the BODY, but the undertaken now SAYS
that there were marks on the mans body
10 the form OF q large swelling on his abb
domen which might have been caused by
askick or punch. He also says that Doc
tor Ross pumped the mans lungs in an
attempt to find water, but without result,

water came from the lungs to base bis
claim that death was Cue to drowning.

land, who was committed In April for 70
days intoxication sentence, and Mrs.

Frank w. Taylor OF Shrewsbury was
arrested Friday on the charge of poison
ing cattle belonging to ex-senator Frank
L. Russell Of Shrewsbury May Is. Tay-
Tor waived examination and hail was
hxed at 1900. The respondent went to
jail in default Of this amount. Three of
Mr.. Russell's cattle died and FIVE others
we're very sick. There was indication
that poison mixed with salt was placed in
the Russell pasture with the intention OF
killing his herd Of 36 cattle, but a heavy
rain washed much OF the poison away.
When Mr.. Hapgood Of Peru furnished
funds for Mrs. CrOssman's defence in the
case OF assault, the citizens OF Shrew sbury
we're much wrought up and practically
the whole town took sides In the matter.

opposition to Mr.. Hapgood's position and
II Is believed someone who sided with
Mrs. Crossman poisoned Mr.. RusselI's
cattle.

and Frank Moon are in Bennington coun-
~ Jail, charged with assault, but the
charges are to be changed TO something
more serious. The police claimed that
Turner was left unconscious on the bank
of a mill pond which has its outlet into
the river and when partially recovered he
fell into the water. II is supposed that
Turner had a quarrel on the banks of the
mill pond late in the evening with
Thomas Harris. Harris has confessed
that be nit Turner with a pick handle
left lying in the road a few yards from
the pond. When the body was discov-
cred, the scalp appeared sound. but badly
lacerated. The money which Turner had
when be disappeared was found in his
pockets, also a watch, which removes the
murder theory, it is said.
