Willing Hands Applaud the Successful

II il ever comes to town, and you
have not already seen it, be sure TO
go. 1t is without doubt superior to
any circus travelling in the United

Ii is the cleanest, most refined and
up-to-date circus in the world. There
is an absence of grating or grafters
that is noticeable. The gentlemen In
charge do not carry that old time cir

neatly dressed, polite and look after
the individual comfort of their patrons
not giving tneir entire time and at
tention to gathering in the shekels.
If the Howe shows ever return to
this city it will have to have two can
vases as large as the one used yes
terday to accommodate the crowd. At
o'clock every reserved seat was Ia
ken and at S:l5 every seat of any
kind was taken. the only available
room being on the ground in front of
the seats. 1'ne tent was packed al
most TO suffocation, and despite the
fact that it was too warm to be com

SEARCHING WOODS
FOR WALDEN
MURDERER
Joseph Pascal Has Not Yet
Been Apprehended
KILLED AGED RESIDENT
Charles Perkins Slain BY Man Who
Suspected Him of Hiding Wife
Husband Had Abused

South Walden, Aug. 5.-While a
posse of fifty men secured the woods
for Joseph Pascal yesterday, an aut-
opsy was held on the body of Charles
Perkins, a respected resident. VINO
was murdered by Pascal late Tues
day night because he thought Perkins
was harboring Mrs Pascal who had
| fled in terror from her drunken hus-
band earlier in the evening. The ira
gedy took place in Perkins home.
Joseph Pascal and his brother Cor
liss had been engaged in a carousal
for two days and Joe started in to
abuse mis- wife and she fled from the
house, taking three children with her.
The husband, in his wrath. followed
her and went to the house of Mr.
Perkins believing that her tracks led
here, and his belief being strengthen
ed by the fact that in times past
when he had pounded his wife she
had been befriended by Perkins peo-
pie.
Reaching the Perkins house shortly
before 10 o'clock, Pascal demanded
his wife and was told that she was
not in the house. Then he went
along to the house of VIII Bradford.
mile from the Perkins place and
two miles from the Pascal home.
Meanwhile Mr.. Perkins telephoned
the authorities for protection. Cor
liss Pascal. having heard aim tele-
phoning, notified Joe that Mr.. Per
kins was after the officers which in
creased Joe's frenzy. Returning to
the Perkins house he began smash
ing the windows and finally crawled
through one windoW into the kitchen.
From there he went into the sitting
ROOM where he saw Mr.. Perkins, a
man of ~ years, standing by the tel
ephone.
Just what took place is not known,
but 1t isN supposed that Pascal fired
at. once, the bullet from the 1885 rifle
penetrating the body through the
ribs. The victim did not bleed pro
fusely but died within a quarter of an
hour.
After killing Mr.. Perkins. Pascal
vented his fury on the telephone in
strument, smashing it to pieces. Hir-
am Smith, the hired man on the Per
kins farm, gave the alarm that Mr..
Perkins had been shot but Joe Pascal
still hung around the house, detying
the neighbors who responded and
shooting once or twice, but not hit
ting anybody 1t is said that he
aimed the rifle at George Perkins, an
other son of his victim, but did not
pull the trigger.
Before the arrival of Sheriff Winch
wno rode thirty miles in his automo-
bile from his home in Mclndoes, stop
ping at ST. Johnsbury to get States
Attorney Simonds and Deputy Sheriff
Hartman. Joe Pascal had escaped in
to the woods. Corliss, his brother,
surrendered himself and is now locked
up in the Hardwick Jail. Sheriff
Winch and a posse of citizens soon
started out on a hunt for the murder
er, and it is expected that they will
get him although the woods are thick
and not easily searched.
The victim of the murder was Y
years old and one of the respected
citizens of the town. He leaves ais
wife and three children, all of whom
are grown up.
