ANOTHER MURDER
IN BENNINGTON
Assassin-NIichael Bhillippi-Runs
to the Woods But Later Returns
to His Room and Is Arrested. No.
body Saw the Shooting.

Bennington, Fay 26.-Louis Swan
setu, an Italian youth not quite 20
years Of age, while at work clipping
the lawn at the residence of Charles
H. Dewey, treasurer of the Benning-
ton Countp Savings bank yesterday
afternoon, was shot and almost in
stantly killed by Michael Phillippi,
a fellow Italian employed as coaler
at the Rutland railroad yards. No
one saw the shooting, as soon as he
committed the deed Phillippi ran
through the outskirts of the village
and disappeared in the woods at the
foot Of Mt. Anthony.
Mrs G. II. Harwood, who lives in
the house adjoining the Dewey resi-
dence, was at work in her flower
garden Just across a low hedge. She
saw the two men talking upon the
lawn but was not looking in that
direction when the shot was fired.

fred, but brief examination of the
body disclosed only one wound dir
ectly in the center of the chest. The
victim, Mrs. Harwood said, struggled
and groaned for a minute or more,
but was dead before any one reached
him.
At 1890 last evening, Deputy
Sheriff John Nash arrested Phillippi
az the latters room in this village.
Phillippi made no resistance and
pretented to be surprised at his ar
rest. asking the officer for what he
was held. A 3S-calibre revolver with
two chambers empty was found in
the mans possession.
The cause OF the shooting is as
cribed to trouble over a girl, pret-
ty Italian lass in whose favor the
dead man is said to have overshad-
owed Phillippi who was also her
passionate admirer. The men were
heard Quarreling yesterday morning
as well as yesterday afternoon be-
fore the murder. Phillippi is about
% years old and has lived hree sever

CAT SAVES FAMILY.
Awakens People in Burning Block
at Chester.


Chester, May 26-The old Daven-
port building, a three-stOry struc-
ture on Main street, was badly dam
aged by fire Monday night, the loss
being estimated at $4,000, which is
partially covered by insurance. The
cause of the blaze is unknown. The
building was occupied by R. G.. Rice
G. Co., bakers, and Rollin Rice and
family, consisting of wife and three
children, lived on the second floor.
Mr.. Rice was awakened about
o'clock by the noise made by cat
and when he got up to drive the cat
away he discovered that the room
was full of smoke. He went at once
to the room where Mrs. Rice and the
children were sleeping and found
that their room also was full of
smoke. The occupants were taken
out by the way of a window, clad
only in their night clothes.
The building is owned by Charles
H. Walker, of Rutland and was for
merly used as hotel. A consider
able part of the furniture was taken
out but only after it had been badly
damaged by fire and water. 1t was
fortunate that there was no wind
as there are several other buildings
close by which probably would have
taken fire.

Armature Room Fitted Up at Car
Barn-Other Changes and Improve

Several repairs are being made at
the car barn of the Corry-Deavitt-
Frost company, one section being
made over into a battery room. A
store room is being fitted up for
a winding room where the armatures
will be wound and repaired, ETC., and
room is being evolved for the stor-
age of three more cars, besides other
minor changes which will facilitate
the work at the barns. The COM
pany is splendidly equipped for re-
pair work at present and has relay
machinery to fall back upon in an
emergency. The winding or arma-
lures by its own employees saves
both time and much extra expense,
the armatures having previously
been sent away to be rewound. The
freighting expenses are saved by
having the work done at the local
barns while, very often, an arma-
ture does not need to be entirely re-
wound bge an be fixed as good as
new with NJ much labor.
