VERMONT GIRL SHOT.
Minnie Carbonneau, Formerly Of
Essex Junction, Murdered at
Fort Leavenworth. Kan.


A dispatch from Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas states that Private Charles
ONeii, military prison guard, shot down
Miss Minnie Charbonneau, his sweet
heart, in the presence of several army
officers and their wives in Grant avenue
at Fort Leavenworth Monday.
Miss Charbonneau was the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Charbonneau of
Essex Junction, about 25 years old and
had been married to Edward Demag of
Essex Junction and divorced. She had
worked for family at the Military Post
and last spring went with them to Kan
sas.
O'Neil was jealous of the girl and
called at the home of Capt. Charles N.
Murphy, where she was employed as
maid, shortly after reveille Monday
morning and tried to quarrel with her.
ONeil then came to Leavenworth aud
bought double action revolver and
called on the girl the second time at Capt.
Murphy's home at 10 o'clock.
the girl he intended to kill them both
with it. The girl ran upstairs to Mrs.
Murphy's room and locked herself in,
while Mrs. Murphy telephoned for help.
O'Neil ran away before Lieut.. Russell
Hand the officer of the day, arrived
with detail of soldiers. O'Neil was
atterward captured on the West End
Parade and taken to the front door of
Capt. Murphy's home while the girl was
asked to step to the front door to identify
the prisoner
O'Neil had the revolver concealed in
his coat and pulling it out unnoticed
shot under Lieut. Hands arm and killed
the girl. He shot four times before the
officers or soldiers could oven power him.
O'Nell was rushed to the guard house
and at one o'clock was taken out with a
squad of petty prisoners to be shackled
In the blacksmith shop. He broke and
reached the timber on Sheridan's drive,
Soldiers and guards in the towers of the
military prison tried to stop him with
long shots, but failed.
After hunt of five hours, when ONeil
saw that he could not stay in the timber
he started to sneak along the rifle range
to gain Merritt Lake. He was noticed
by a trooper, who rode up quickly.
OFeil jumped into the lake and made a
pretence at drowning himself. The
soldier levelled a rifle and made him
come out and marched him up Mcclellan
avenue to the guard house as the recall
was sounded.
The soldiers came in on the double
quick and gave hearty cheers over cap
turing the murderer. They are exceed
ingly bitter against O'Nei for the dis
grace he has brought on the uniform.
Miss Charbonneau, the dead girl, was
twenty-five years old, and her home was
at Essex Junction. VT. She came here
with an officers family from Fort Ethan
Allen four months ago. Soldiers are
paying her funeral expenses and will
send her body back to her old mother.
Private William Oosthuyzer of the 9Th
cavalry, who captured O'Neil, was COM
mended and promoted to be a corporal.
He Is veteran of the Boer war and was

Chorus Re ehearsaIs.

The chorus which has been organized
under the direction Of Professor Edwin
ii. Higley meets every Monday night in
the vestry of the Congregational church.
There has been gratifying attendance
thus far, but the invitation to Join is
extended to everyone young or old, citi-
zens as we'll as students in the Summer
Schools. All are invited. There is no
tuition and no charge Of any kind. The
chorus is rehearsing "The Bohemian
Girl, melodious opera, not at all diff
ficult and very pleasing. 1t is the in
tention to present it, together with other
music, at concert to be given in the
town hall at the close of the Summer
Session, Friday evening, August 18th.
1t will be remembered by many that for
several years, while student and also
while professor in college, Mr.. Higley
was a leader in all musical interests in
Midd,e6lrry, conducting, for years the
old Middlebury Choral Society and
otherwise creating musical atmos-
phere in this town that has character
lied the place ever since. AS an
organist, pianist and conductor Professor
Higley has never had superior in Ver-
mont, and he has lost none of his char
.acteristic qualities as an interpreter of
musical thought and expression, but
doubtless has added to his od-time
excellence by his years Of study at home
and abroad. Surely, here is great
opportunity both for those who would
sing for pleasure as well as for those
who would sing to learn.

Crop and Weather Conditions.

Crop and Weather Conditions.
The past week has been more favor.
able for growing crops than the pre-.
ceding ones. 1t has been warmer,
with slight tendency toward showers,
although the total amount OF precipi.
tation has been so slight as to be
hardly appreciable. Seeding is pro-
crossing rapidly, several planters
will finish sowing this week, while
others are making good progress.
With but few exceptions. the stand

OF the rice that is up is looking yellow,
on ccount OF the cool weather. A
good rain at this time would be of
great value to the rice industry in
this section.
Some of the farmers have started
pumping and more will start their
pumps within few days, unless time.
ly rains obviate the necessity of so
doing. From present indications
it would seem that the "over.pro.
duction" statistician had better be
looking for new job this summer.

BIG TEMPERANCE MEETING.
Rev. Geo. II. Fisher Addressed Two
Large Audiences Sunday.

That the people of Welsh are not
dead upon the temperance issue, Just
because the victory was theirs at the
polls last fall, was pretty clearly dem
onstrated here Sunday, by the excep-
tionally large audiences that turned
out to hear Rev. Geo. E. Fisher of
Ohio, speak on the temperance ques-
ton.
Mr.. Fisher, who is Superintendent
of one OF the Ohio district divisions
of the anti-saloon league, is now
spending some time in the temperance
work of this state.
Arrangements were made for him to
speak in the Methodist church here
Sunday morning. A large audience
listened to his address and were so
we'll pleasedsand so much interest was
aroused that the several churches of
the city decided to give up their even
ing services in order that Mr.. Fisher
might again address the people of
Welsh.
The evening service was arranged
to be held in the Congregational
church, but before nearly all the peo-
pie had arrived, the building was full
to Overlooking. In order to accom-.
modate the crowd, the meeting was ad-
journed to the Baptist church, which
was completely filed.
Rev. Fisher, who is one of the
founders and organizers of the anti
saloon league, gave full account of
the organization, purposes and work.
ing methods OF the league, as we'll as
an account of the wonderful amount
OF work it has accomplished during
the past year. He called attention to
the great need of more work in Louis
lana, showing that as nearly all the
southern states have voted liquor out,
Enls state was becoming the dumping
ground wherein the saloon men of
other states, hoped to retrieve their
losses.
The speaker is not fanatical be.
lever in legislation being cure.all
for all the ills of the body polite,
but he said: "While legislation NAV
not make men good, it will make them
awfullv careful" Believing that leg.
gislation could lbe made successful
only to point commisurate with the
ideals of the people, he urged the
need OF educating the people to higher
ideals.
Substantial collections for the work
were taken uD morning aud evening.
At the close of the meeting Mr.. F,
D. Calkins, president of the local di.
vision of the league, issued call for
meeting of the league to be held 10

GOOD SHOOTING AT
ANALOSTAN CLUB

With ideal weather conditions and
before a large and enthusiastic crowd
of interested spectators. including many
prominent people. the Analostan Gun
Club pulled off some very interesting
and at times exciting shooting matches
yesterday afternoon it's grounds
on the Eastern branch near the Ben
ming bridge.
These shoots are a weekly attraction
on the Eastern branch, drawing a large
crowd almost every Saturday, and from
almost every standpoint they were at
that perfection which the members of
the club have striven years to attain
and which was realized long before ex-
pected. Furthermore, one can almost
say that there are no delays to test
the patience of the lockers on and no
mishap to mar the pleasures of the
day.
The match which was stamped as the
feature of the afternoon and in which
most interest was conferred was the
medal match. which is carried on
classes. a, r, G and -, and three
medals are given by the club to the
marksmen having the bets scores at the
end of the year. which is the latter
part of September.
In yesterdays performance j. 4.
Brown, who is one of the oldtimers, and
better known as Bud" Brown. WAS the
hero of the day, pulling down nineteen
pigeons out of twenty shot at. while
c. b. Wise, another veteran. also fin
ished with the same score. Hogan and
OrrSon came next, with eighteen dead
birds to their credit and Wagner, who
is considered as the best of the local
talent and who seemed to have one of
his "off days" followed with seventeen
killed. while Hunter and Steubener had
the same number chalked up to them.
There were many other good matches
on the days card. but taking them d
whole they were not quite up to the high
standard of previous shoots. In the in
dividual shooting of the day Bud" Brown
was again the star, missing only three
birds out of fifty shot at. Capt. Dufour,
Hunter and Monroe also did fairly wells
bringing down l01, 81 and 81. respectively.
