Joseph Pascal Killed

FLED TO THt WOODS
A Posse OF Fifty Men Now Search.
ing for Him-Crazei With AlcO-
hOl When Deed was Committed.

St. Johnsbury, Aug. About
$50 o'clock last night Joseph Pas
cal, a man about As years of age,
while crazed with liquor, shot
Charles Perkins, aged 72 years, at
the home of the latter about mile
from the little village of South
Walden.
Pascal and his brother, Corliss,
secured two quarts of alcohol yes
terday and consumed about a pint,
both becoming intoxicated. Joseph
Pascal is known as an ugly char
acter and particularly savage when
he is drunk. He attacked his witA
and she fled for her life.
Last evening he took his big 3S-
50 calibre rifle and started out in
pursuit of Mrs. Pascal. Reaching
the home of Mr.. Perkins, a peace
full and highly respected man, he
begun making a disturbance.
Mr. Perkins went to the telephone
TO notify an officer that Pascal
should be arrested This angered
the man and with the butt of his
rifle he smashed five windows and
entering the house smashed the tel
ephone. He then fired at Mr.. Per.
kins, the ball passing through the
right wrist. The wound in itself
apparently was not sufficient TO
cause death end it is supposed that
the excitement aggravated a heart
trouble from which Mr.. Perkins
had suffered, causing instant death
Pascal then broke into the room
where Mrs. Perkins, a woman about
10 years old, had been sick in bed
for a week She succeeded in maxi
ing her escape and sought refuge in
the hen house. Later she was found
in the woodshed chamber
Mr.. Perkins sons, who lived
nearby, aroused by the noise, hur-
ried to the scene, and Pascal fired
on them but did not hit them. He
then returned home secured a fresh
stock of ammunition and took to
the woods. Meanwhile. Hiram
Smith, the hired man, had given a
general alarm, being so severely
frightened that he passed several
houses before he stopped to tell
the story of the tragedy.
Sheriff George F.. Winch, of this
place, was notified. and with States
Attorney R. W. Simonds and Dep
uty Sheriff Harman he made a fast
run in an automobile to the scene
cf the murder, arriving there at S
o'clock this morning.
Pascal had fired occasionally
during the night from a wooded hill
and had threatened vengeance on
anyone who tried to take him. As
he is a dead shot there was no gen.
eral desire to undertake his cap
ture. This morning a posse of
fifty men was assembled and a
search of the woods was begun but
he had not been captured when the
latest messages were received
Dr. B. H. Stone, Of the State
Laboratory of Hygiene, arrived at
II o'clock aud will conduct an au-
topsy.
Corliss Pascal surrendered to the
officers last evening and was lodged

everything about the mine has been
kept in first class condition.
The installation of pump was
necessary on account of the water
encountered at a depth of 1850 feet
in sinking the Mizpah shaft. An
Aldrich horizontal quintuplex cleo
trio pump, of 200 gallons per min
ute capacity, was installed on the
twelfth level of the Mizpah shaft,
connected with the surface by an
armored cable capable of transmit
ting 200 horsepower, and a six-inch
water column was placed in the shaft
to take the discharge from the pump.
Below the twelfth level, in sinking
the shaft, sinking pump is used,
discharging in a crosscut from the
north side of the pump station. Both
pumps have been tried and have
worked successfully from the start.
The flow of water is so small in
quantity that 1t can be easily handled
by the pump. To have bailed would
have interferred with hosting ore,
so that economy suggested the in
stallation of the pump. which has a
surplus capacity sufficient to take
care of at least four times the pres
lent flow of water.
During the past year new vein
was discovered on the 50O-foot level
near the Red Plume shaft. II Is the
eastern extension of the vein mined
by the Tonopah Extension Mining
