Ga. Mrs. Ella Starks of Holland, the
mother in-law of Madison, made one
of the chief witnesses for the prose-
cution. Mrs. Starks told how she
watched the two men come to the house
twice, and once looked through the
open window and saw lot of red
stamps spread out so they covered
three-fonrths of a table. On another
occasion she saw the table half COW
cred with stamps, about II or IL

nights she listened through stove

one of the men say they had got rid
of the old man Starks and they had
better get rid of her. On cross-ex-
animation it developed that Mrs.
Starks had been married four times,
sentenced to states prison for biga-
my, and placed in the probation Off

Hardwick Youth Shoots Himself.

Using the same revolver with which
J. Vernon Dutton killed himself five
weeks ago Monday, Charles H. Stew
art, of Hardwick, aged "a years, un
married, committed suicide Sunday
evening at 10 o'clock by shooting him
self in the head. No reason for the
act is known. At little before 10
O'Clock Sunday evening the young
man bade his parents good night and
went to his room. A few minutes
later the father heard strange jar.
He started an investigation and re-
ceiving no reply from questions which
he asked his son, made his way to the
room above and found him lying on
the floor with the revolver tightly
clutched in his hand. Stewart was
employed in the local station of the
ST. Johnsbury & Lake Champlain rail-
road, as was Dutton. who killed him
self few weeks ago. The revolver
which Dutton used was owned by
Stewart and was kept at the station.

eide about 10 o'clock Friday night by
shooting. Mr.. Clark, who is train
dispatcher for the Boston & Maine
railroad, reached home about 10
o'clock, and, as he was going hunting
Saturday, he was looking through his
paraphernalia when he missed his
pistol. He asked his wife if she
knew where it was, and just at that
moment shot was heard. Mr.. Clark
thought the noise was in the street.
but his wife was at once alarmed and
the two went to their daughters room
where they found her gasping her
last. The girl had taken the pistol to
bed with her and fired the shot under
the bed clothes. The bullet went
through her heart and death was al
most instantaneous. Temporary in
sanity was the cause Of the act. The
girl was in school as usual Friday.
and in the evening was practising on

First Lecture Week from Tonight.

The first entertainment of the Bar
ton Lecture course will be at Seaver's
hall one week from tonight. The
Eastern Concert company is the at
traction and the management of the
Eastern Hyceum bureau from whom
the talent is purchased this year,
state that it is an attraction equal to
any Barton has ever had. There are
five members of the company, three
istrumental, cello. violin and pianist
and they are each stars, Mr.. Webster,
the cello player being especially fine. A
soprano and a reader are the remain
ng two to make up the party of five.
Miss Bass. the reader is said to be an
exceptionally pleasing reader, SINGER
ity being the keynote of her interpre-
tations, which have a wide range.
1t might not be amiss to refer the
reader to what is said regarding this
company on the Orleans page, the
same company appearing there the
night before coming here. Remember
the date, Wednesday evening, Decem-
Der /.
Between this date and Tuesday
personal call will be made upon the
people of the village to find how many
tickets will be wanted by each family
so make up your mind now and the
solicitor will have to waste ITO time.
I A novel scheme has been planned
for the drawing of seats which will
take place Tuesday evening, next, at
7.30 o'clock. The canvasser will
ascertain how many tickets are want
ed in each household and how much
premium they are willing to pay in
order to get some choice of seats. All
those paying the same sum as pre-
MUM will draw their seats by them
selves. those paying the highest
amount will draw their seats by hav-
ing the first drawing, and those pay
ing the least the last drawing, and
those paying no premium at all will
choose by, the SAME method. This is
a combination of the auction method
in vogue here for many years and the
very popular drawing method in use
at Orleans. Everyone should be on
hand Tuesday evening at the high
school room, whether they will pay
any premium or not. And don't fail
to decide how many tickets you want
so to let the canvasser know. The
remaining dates are: December 12,

kELLAHIN. ENTHUSIASTIC
FOR WAGON ROAD EAST

President Robert Kellahin, of the
Roswell Commercial Club, returned
yesterday from a trip over the wagon
road to the plains country eat of
Roswell and returns enthusiastic ov-
er the proposition of Roswell helpins
build it MP to encourage trade from
the quickly settling country of that
section. Upon his return he appoint t.
ed the following committee to solicit
money among the merchants and citi-
zens generally and to see to the pro-
per expenditure of same and to the
proper rebuilding OF the road: l.. X.
McGaffey, A. PrIit, Herbert Fitzger-
aid, J. w. StockaFd and J. A. Cottins-
ham. 1t is said that $500 will put the
road in good condidtion and Mr.. Kei-
lahin believes that the merchants will
make back the money invested in so
days. The settlement of the country
east has been wonderful and a great
amount of trade can be brought here
by a good road. as the settlers are
going to other points above and below
for the reason that the road is so
bad into Roswell. Another induce
ment is that at least thirty automo-
biles will come to Roswell over the
new road if it is put in condition by
the time of the cattlemen's conven-
tiOn, the first week in April.

COOPER. JR.
TEST|FIES

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 20.-Robin
Cooper one of the defendants in the
CarInack murder case, was a witness
today. He gave a detailed record Of
the movements of himself and his IA
ther on the day of the killing.
Cooper told of meeting his father
in the morning, when the latter told
him he was afraid he was going 70
have trouble with Carmack, because
he had been printing editorials at
tacking his character. He said it was
becoming uncomfortable. His father
declared to him that he had right
to protect himself. Young Cooper told
of efforts to have the matter adjusted
by mutual friends of the Elder Coop
er and Carmack which were fruitless.
One friend returned and reported that
Carmack was in an ugly mood. The
witness started to tell of the remark
of his father that he believed he could
settle the affair if he could have an
interview himself with Carmack, but
the lawyers were on their feet inst
antly objecting, and the court held
the statement of the father incompe-
tent
Cooper told of the efforts to find his
father during the rest of the day and
in the meantime purchasing a pistol
himself. Being asked why he armed
himself, the witness said: ''The mes
sage which father sent Carmack was
very strong, and knowing Carmack
as i did l feared he would resent it."
In the afternoon he met his father
again in the office of family friend
who was endeavoring to intervene in
making an amica,ble adjustmen of
the trouble. In the meantime Governor
Patterson had been appealed to and
sent for the elder Cooper, said the
witness. The father and son left for
the executive mansion together. He
declared his father did not ask hin
to accompany him, as he expected no
trouble. 1t was while on the way to
see the governor at this time that
the meeting with Ca7mack occurred
but before this point in the recital was
reached the court took recess until
this afternoon.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS
ARE TO HAVE ONE DAY

HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS
ARE TO HAVE ONE DAY.
Balmy ibreeZes and buZZing bees
have brought thoughts of base ball in
to the minds of all true fans. Cy
Leland that old, time-tried and fire.
tested organizer, has already begun
to cast about for suitable men to COW
er the different positions On a town
team, and although he suffered finan-
cially last year from his base ball in
vestment, he added another valuable
chapter to his book of personal eNper-
fence in peanut league athletics, and
is showing the true spirit of a sports
man by coming to the front stronger
than ever in his effort to get a little
base ball through the summer months.
Three afternoons Of baseball are
planned for the cattlemen's conven-
ton. The town team promoters desir-
ed all three days, but the committee
in charge decided to give them two
days and the third to the Roswell and
Artesia High Schools, who asked for
a place on the program for one day.
L. L. Johnson and four compat
riots have made arrangements for an
afternoon show at the fair grounds
during the convention, to partake O1
the nature of a riding and roping ex
hibition The Elks will probably help
in carrying out this attraction, and
Curg Johnson says it will be a tor
notcher or nothing.

heavy to the close. Steel common was
hammered down to 46, net loss of

Steel preferred also dropped 3-8.
Others in the list of active issues fell
from two points to substantial frac-
