Company X, " ~ G., closed its fair
Saturday evening with the largest at
tendance of the week. Al one time
during the evening the floor was oc-
cupied by the biggest crowd that has
appeared on the dancing floor of For
esters hall in many months.
The star feature of the evening was
the competitive drill between two
squads representing company f, NJ.
V. NJ, of Pittsfield and company X Of
Bennington Capt. A. l.. Chapman Of
the First United States calyalry, sta
toned at Mortified, was 90 judge
and the competition was so close that
it was necessary for him to call the
squads upon the floor for the second
time
The score was done in the follow
ing manner. Each squad was credit
ed with 100 points from which were
deducted five points for an error by a
commissioned officer three points for
an error by sergeant, two points for
an error by corpal and one point for
an error by a private.
From the 100 points the Massachus-
etts squad suffered a reduction Of II
points and the Vermont squad re-
duction of II points. Company K
was therefore declared the winner OF
the silver cup.

Young Man One of the Parties in
Fight on Bank of Till Pond
Saturday Night
his CAP WAS FOuNO FLOATING IN THE WATER
SpIashes Of Blood in Dust of Highway and Piece OF
Scalp With Hair Attached Evidence That Supposed Victim
Had Been Roughly Used--FOur Arrests Made

Thomas Harris of Pownal is in the
county Jail held on the charge of be-
ing implicated in the death of Oscar
Turner of the same town whose body
is believed to be at the bottom of the
| mill pond which formerly furnished
water power for the Wright Health
Underwear factory before the mill was
burned some three years ago. Mrs.
| Harris is known to have been a
witness to the quarrel which the auth
critics are confident resulted in Tur-
ner's death. In Jail also are Frank
Moon and Jim Pratt of Pownal who
are held as witnesses.
1t is a rather strange proceeding to
make arrests on such charges as are
likely to be brought against Harris
without knowing whether or not the
victim of the alleged crime is alive
or dead. The case is peculiar in this
! respect, but enough evidence was cas-
lily obtained Sunday to warrant the
action.
Oscar Turner, for whose body the
! mill pond was dragged Sunday was
last seen lying beside the highway
which skirts the west side of the Hoo
sac river. The time was between II
and II o'clock Saturday night and just
after the quarrel with Harris. Mrs.
Charles Potter, who lives in story
and half house just around the turn
after the road crosses the river, was
awakened by the voices of the per-
sons engaged in the alteration She
partially dressed herself and coming
to the door, called to Harris that she
7 would have him arrested If heidi not
leave the vicinity AT that time, she
says, Turner was lying upon the
ground and Harris was kicking him
about the body. Being considerably
frightened by the occurrence she re-
turned to her room, put on her shoes
and stockings with the intention of
going to the house of neighbor.
When she came to the door for the
second time neither Harris or Turner
were in sight.
Frank Moon was also one of the
last persons to see Turner Saturday
night. In speaking of the incidents
of the night he admits that he was
considerably intoxicated and thus ex-
plains some of his actions With Jim
Pratt he was sitting on doorstep of
one of the houses just over the river
when Harris and his wife came across
the bridge on their way home. The
couple were followed by Turner who
was told by Pratt that Harris, who had
returned from North Adams on the
10:45 car, had a bottle of whiskey in
his possession. Turner, who is said
to have been drinking during the eve
ming, caught up with Harris and his
wife and the trouble began. Moon,

FIRE DEPARTMENT
FIGHTS LIVELY
BLAZE
Barn Occupied by C. Schwartz
on Main Street Burned
LOSS ESTIMATED AT $500
Blaze said to Have Started From
Burning Papers in Adjacent
Alley Way

The most exciting fire to occur in
this town in several months took place
This afternoon when AN alarm was
rung in al 1906 from box 81 at the
corner OF Main and Valentine streets
summoning the department to a blaze
in the rear of the Electric Light Cos
office on Main street. The Stark hose
company arrived within five minutes
after the alarm was sounded and had
stream on the building within
short time. The flames had at this
time gained considerable Roadway
and second alarm was sounded.
The Putnam and Eagle Hose com
panies and the ". II Bradford Hook
and Ladder company came before
1915 and a few minutes later three
streams OF water were being played
on the flames which were soon under
control
The FIRE originated from burning
papers IN the alley way running be
tween the Offices of c. A. Wood and
the Bennington Electric Light com
pany A gust of wind blew piece
OF burning paper to the entrance of
one OF The barn doors around which
quantity Of straw was Uttered.
The fire soon communicated 20 the
building and when the blaze was dis
covered by some bobys on their way
30 school the flames had gained great
headway
The building which is owned by
John Norton was rented by c.
Schwartz Mr Schwartz was able
to get all his wagons, horses, sleighs
etc, removed before the fire reached
them. His loss will consist chiefly of
quantity of hay and grain
The total loss to The building and
contents which is fully covered by in
surance is estimated to be about $500
A crowd Of several hundred per-
sons gathered 10 Sgatch the progress
of the fire. Undoubtedly several pu-
pills will be found missing in the local
schools this afternoon

Discussion had arisen relative to
sending TO Judge w w. Niles some
papers in the case. +. w. Gibson Of
Mr.. Fentons counsel gathered up
some of the records, whereupon Miss
Dunlevy said she took the records
from the files and was therefore res
ponsible for them and she did not
wish Mr.. Gibson to take them away
without giving receipt.
J. X Batchelder of Mr.. Fenton' $
counsel. stated that he objected to
having Miss Dunlevy, party in the
suit, have the custody of the records.
Miss Dunlevy replied that she did not
have the custody of the records,
whereupon Mr. Batchelder charged
her with just having admitted that she
did.
County Clerk F. d f. Stowe said he
had sole custody of the records and
that Miss Dunlevy took them from
the files at his direction.
Mr. Batchelder made some more re
marks which incensed Miss DunleYy,
and she walked over to where he
stood and told him in four short words
what she thought of him.
Mr.. Batchelder retorted in sub
stance that his estimate of her was
sustained. At this point County
Stowe took the papers and locked
them up, and Judge Miles said he hop
ed everybody would go away happy.
The hearing was on Miss Dunlevy's
motion to dissolve an injunction Sc.
cured by Mr.. Fenton restraining her
from proceeding with the trial of the
case in county court until she had re-
turned some letters which We're taken

hut Mr.. Fenton claimed that three
others from Miss Dunlevy to him
were missing and that Miss DunleVy
knew where they were. MISS Dun
levy denied all knowledge OF the
whereabouts of the three missing let
ters.
The principal witness was Mr.. Fen
ton. who said that the three letters
and those returned were together in
his desk at a time when Miss Dun
levy called at his store for an inter
view and had opportunity to take
them from the drawer. He said he
first missed them in April, 1907 just
before the April term of county court.
Miss Dunlevy's counsel sought to
impeach Mr.. Fenton and introduced

who admits that he also had his mind
on the bottle of whiskey in Harris
pocket, had in the meantime left Pratt
and started along the same direction.
When he came up with the three Tur-
ner was lying upon the ground on the
side of the road away from the bank
of the mill pond. Moon says that he
asked Harris if he had hit Turner and
that Harris replied that he would
teach him that me and my wife can
walk along home without being in
suited"
Moon, according to his own state
ment, paid but little attention to Tur-
ner, his already befuddled mind being
so largely taken up with the consider
alton of that bottle of whiskey. The
three went on, leaving Turner lying
in the road, to Harris house. Here
Moon remained, he said until the
whiskey was gone. He then came
back over the same road to the viii
lage. On the way he passed the house
OF George II. Leonard, the second hus-
band of Turner's mother. The young
mans father, Ezra Turner, from
whom Mrs. Leonard was divorced, was
at last accounts living in North Ad-
ans.
When he was not working for some
farmer, Turner lived with his mother
and Moon says that he saw a light
in an upper story window This led
him to believe that Turner had come
to himself and gone home When he
reached the spot where they had left
the young man and saw that there
was no one there he was still further
convinced that Turner was in bed at
the Leonard house and went to his
own home without giving the matter
much more thoughts
Moon says that Harris had a pick
handle in his hand at the time he saw
him standing near the PROSTATE Tur-
ner In front of the Charles Potter
house. Harris, in his answers to the
questions of the states attorney. de-
