CITY HALL
JANITOR !
KILLED |
ROBERT SPAULDING CAUGHT
IN ELEVATOR SHAFT AND
FATALLY INJURED - DIES
SHORTLY AFTERWARD.
HEAD IS CRUSHED OPEN

Robert .Spaulding, head janitor
of the city hall, was :
.r killed this morning at
1915 O'Clock under the elevator
while engaged in his duties.
With A. B. Becker and Thomas
Riley, two prisoners from the city
Jail, Spaulding had been up on the
top floors cleaning up. They had
a box full of rubbish and placed
1t on the lower section of the ele-
vator to take 1t to the cellar. The
three men got on with the box
and went down. AT the gates OF
the elevator on the other floors
people were rafting for service
and Charles johnson, the eleva-
tor man, for a moment forgot that
he had passengers on the lower
section of the machine and start
ed up.
Attempted to Get OFF.
Spaulding had in the meantime
started to get off the elevator.
The cellar floor is about four feet
below the lower floor of the ele-
vator and he got down On the edge
of the elevator and was sitting
there on the floor ready to jump
off when the elevator suddenly
shot up.
Blood Curdling Cry.
Spaulding gave blood curdling
Shrek as teh machine ran up but
1t was too late. His head was
caught on teh bottom of the first
floor of the city hall and crushed
like an eggshell. His cry, how
ever, caused the elevator man
to stop the machine. 1t was let
down again and Spaulding, with
blood gushing from him in
stream, was taken off and laid
upon the floor.
Skull Crushed Open.
His skull was broken across
the forehead and the brain pro-
truded in CHASTITY convolutions.
Blood poured from the eye sock
cts which were empty and stream
ed over the basement floor.
= DR.. Sargentich was called and
he had the injured man taken to
Fannie Paddock hospital but said
nothing could be done to save his
life. He died shortly after ar
riving there.
Both Brocker and Riley were on
the elevator when the accident
happened but were uninjured.
Spaulding was an elderly man,
about so, but was very efficient
janitor. He leaves a widow who
lived with him at the end of JEFF
ferson avenue.

Described as Tyrant.
Before he was interrupted Will
lett had succeeded In making
one of the most vitrolic attacks
ever directed against President
Roosevelt by a member Of con-
gress. He described the presi-
dent as a gargoyle, tyraut,
pigmy descendant of Dutch tradss-
people, an imitation of king, .
bogus hero and a fountain of bill
lingsgate.
Representative willett began
his speech by declaring that Presi-
dent Roosevelt plays tyrant and 10
"a tyrant. Aside from using In
his theme, "the passing of Roose-
velt," the presidents name was
not mentioned during the attack.
'.Good to Laugh At"
"He sees things having bad

maker, '.but the fresh breeze that
sweeps Capitol Hill does not let
the odor linger. He tries our pa-
tience; he Is always good to laugh

Willett further said:
"He was the signer of an tn
subordinate round robin, which
any dignifled war department
would have punished by . sum-
mary courtmartial. He was q
candidate for governor Of New
York and was victorious through
a mere fiuke, when the false halo
of San Juan hill was above hip
head. He was the beneficiary by
an assassination.
"As last crowning piece OF

Care In Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value Of food is meas
ured largely by its purity; the re-
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as a perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker Oats;
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest of
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer Of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem Of removing the husks and black
specks which are so annoying when
other brands are eaten. If you are
convenient to the store buy the reg
ular size packages; If not near the
store. buy the large size family pack

Close O windsor County Court.

Pursuant to adjournment, Windsor
county court re-assembled to try Joseph
Rivers for the alleged kidnapping of
Daisy Redmond, a fifteen-year-old girl
OF Windsor, and taking her to Canada
last year. The two were brought back
to Vermont in March and an information
was filed at the opening of the June term.
When court was ready to adjourn last
July, respondent through his counsel,
Gilbert A. Davis, urged trial as the
respondent did not want to stay in Jail
until December term. The state could
not then go to trial as the girl had just
given birth to baby. So q date was
fixed for trial and it commenced last
week Tuesday. Wednesday afternoon a
verdict of guilty was returned. Sentence
was not passed as the case goes to the
supreme court on construction of the
statute against kidnapping.
Allesandro schettino and his two
brothers, Fernando and Domenico, were
arrsigned on q charge of assault with
intent to kill Alfonso Tisi and Reuben
Gibbon at White River Junction Aug. 1.
They pleaded mot guilty and bail was
fixed for their appearance at the Decem-
Der term.
Final adjournment was had at a. m.
Thursday.
Judge Hall has made q most favorable
impression at his first term in this
county. His ability, fairness and cour-
tesy have commended him alike to law
yers, ..litiRants, jurors and laIl who have
had to do with the business of the term,
at which many cases have been disposed
OF by trial or otherwise.

Mrs. Mary Fairfield, aged so years,

Sunday, Aug. 20, in Essex Junction.
She had lighted a kerosene stove in her
rooms and was about to prepare her

feebleness was able to do little or moth

door locked, they broke it open and
with bucket of water succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames. Mrs. Fairfield
received slight burnsa about the face
and hands. She was given immediate
medical attendance and taken to the
Fanny Allen hospital The walls, CELL
ings, pictures and furnishings were
scorched and blackened.
Fire broke out Sunday, Aug. 20, in
the farm house of John Ryan of Shore
ham, and before help could arrive the
two-story wooden structure and two
valuable barns filled with hay and
straw were in ruins. The loss is esti-
mated at $4,000 with but small insur-
ance. Mr.. and Mrs. Ryan went to Rut-
land few days before to visit relatives
and left their two sons. aged 10 and 90
years, at home. The younger boy retired
early the night Of the fire and the
other was on his way to his room when
he dropped the light which be was carry

Mr.. Ryan lost his wagons and farm tools
and practically everything that he owned.
A serious accident was averted at the
/ Y. NJ. G. A. building in Montpelier last
week Monday, which might have proved

with Edward Richardson and Forrest
Bancroft, we're playing in the gallery of
the gymnasium when Farrar took il into
his head to slide down one OF the posts
which supports the roof and which runs
very close to the edge of the gallery.
The other boys we're at the other end OF
the gallery when Holden Farrar climbed
over the bannister and took hold of the
post for his initial slide. Everything
went all right for the first few feet until
the part Was reached where the gallery
nearly touches the post when young
Farrar was caught by the wrist and held
fast. He could not pull himself up to the
/ gallery and the longer be remained hang
ing by his wrist the frmer it was wedged
in its vice so that it would have been very
difficult to have rescued him. Edward
Richardson, acting secretary of the Y.

aid of few other young men and a lad
der, he was finally lifted out of his pain
full position after hanging there by his
wrist for'nearly half an hour.
