lay breathing heavily until he got a
grip on himself. Then he tore the
bandanna handkerchief from his neck
and bound up the wound, winding the
bandage as tightly as his strength per
mitted to check the blood flow.
What is it?" asked Jack over his
shoulder.
"Indians. The Apaches are out. I'm
HIT" gasped Dick. He crawled pain
fully and slowly to Jacks side, drag
ging his leg after him. He pulled with
him his rifle, which he picked up as he
passed from the spot where it had
fallen in his first wild rush for water.

Both men spoke scarcely above
whisper, fearing to betray their posi-
lions by the sound of their voices.
Dick lay on his back, gathering strength
to ward off with rifle and revolver the
rush which would come sooner or later.
Jack caught the sound Of falling
stone. Peering cautiously over the
rock, he saw an Indian creeping up a
draw toward them. Throwing his rifle
to his shoulder, he took quick aim and
fred. The Apache jumped to his feet,
ran few steps forward and fell
sprawling. A convulsive shudder shook
him, and he lay STILL

as he saw the result of the shot.
But the exposure Of his head and
shoulders above their barricade had
drawn forth more shots from other
members of the band.
The bullets struck near the two men,
showing that the Apaches had the
range.
Dicks wound was bleeding freely,
but the shock Of the blow had passed
away, and his strength returned.
Drawing his revolver, he crept closer
to Jack, crying, Il can shoot some!"
II reckon you haven't more than q
flesh wound" encouraged Jack. "Can
you crawl to the horse?"
II think l can" answered Dick.
"Then go. Take the trail home. III

An Apache had crawled to the heaG

State Of Vermont.



With no known motive and for no APP
parent cause except a disordered brain,
George Mitchell, aged is, candy maker
in the employ of G. g. Mascot in Barre,
shot the wife OF his employer dead Sun
day afternoon in the living apartments Of
Mr.. Mascot at the rear Of his candy
kitchen. Mrs. Mascot was IS years old
and before her marriage to Mr.. Mascot
was Miss Maud Kelly Of Burlington and
was employed in the Crystal Palace, q
candy kitchen in that city.
After killing Mrs. Mascot, Mitchell
turned the revolver upon himself, evil
IDENTIFY intending to shoot himself
through the head. but the bullet went
wild. The ball entered the head near the
right eye, but evidently did not penetrate
the brain, and he will probably recover.
Mitchell is q lad who a year ago Mr..
Mascot brought from Greece, his native
country. Since be has been employed by
Mr.. Mascot, he has been an inmate OF
his family and Mrs. Mascot had acted as
g mother toward him. Only Saturday,
Mitchell told Mascot that II he had ever
had a mother who was IS good to him as
Mrs. Mascot was, his life would have
been different.
For two or three days, Mr.. Mascot had
noticed that Mitchell was acting strange
/ IL. That afternoon when be asked
/ Mitchell to go for their usual Sunday
stroll, he pleaded illness and remained al
home. As soon as Mascot was out Of the
house he went to the room where Mrs.
Mascot and her two young boys were
and fred the fatal shot.
The revolver was q 3s-calibre Iver
johnson and the ball pierced Mrs. Mas
colts heart. The health officer was o.
the opinion that death was instantaneous
Mr.. Mascot was gone from the hous,
only a very few minutes and On his re
turn he heard his children screaming
Rushing into his living room, he found
the dead body OF his wife and the uncon
scious form Of Mitchell near her on thu
floor. The sight nearly crazed him ans
it was necessary for his friends to care TO
him for a time.
The only explanation Of the terribl
affair by those who know most about thu
case and about the family is that the laC
must have been taken suddenly insane.

What is probably the largest marble
deal which has ever taken place in YER
mont was completed last week Monday,
when George c. Underhill, Rutland
promoter. closed the deal which pur-
chased for New York capitalists, whose
names for the present are not made pub
lie. about twenty farms in the towns OF
Clarendon, Tinmouth ana Dandy, COM
prising nearly 10000 acres.
There is a vein Of marble which starts
in the town Of Brandon and runs south
10 about the center of the town of Dandy
and the farms which have been purchased
are on this vein in a nearly straight line.
Quarries will be opened on the property
and railroad will be built, connecting
the quarries with the main lines of
traffic. The terminal OF the railroad has
not been determined upon, but it may be
at West Rutland, Poultney or Granville,
n. Y. 1t Is not known when the work
OF developing the property will be begun.
For over 100 years it has been known
to few that there were various outcrop-
pings of marble here and there in Tin
mouth and it is now said that the largest
body OF marble in the state has laid all
these years undeyelopec in the one town
of Tinmouth.
A Rutland marble man said that II il
be true that there is a continuous marble
4 vein running through Tinmouth and into
Dandy, as reported, it would contain
much more than half OF all the marble in
the state.

Summer and FAN Seeding and Top
DRESSING.

Many farmers are finding it to their ad-
vantage to seed down during the summer
and fall. claiming that by so doing they
are apt to get much better sscatch''
than they do when they follow the usual
practice aud seed down in the spring.
The same is true regarding top-dresa-
ing grass land. Some Of the most pro-
gressive farmers put on top-dressing inn
mediately after haying, with perhaps a
small application of nitrate OF soda the
following spring.

kurn Hsttin Homes Notes.
The trustees of the New England Kurn
Hattil Homes announce that the new
building at Westminster, VT, for which
the money was 50 generously contributed
last year, is completed and the dedication
will occur in September. Plans are being
made for an interesting occasion at that
time, and notices will be sent through
the press and otherwise in season 30 that
those who are interested in this work
may be present.
IL mHy not be generally known that
the policy of the board of trustees has
been changed somewhat during the past
year. After careful consideration and
study OF the special needs o. this particu-
lar work, considering the relative loca-
tion of the two Homes under their man
agement, Kurn Hattin Home, westmins-
ter, VT, and Warner Memorial Home,
Sections River, VT, it has been decided
to place the administration OF the affairs
OF the Homes with the executive board,
composed OF the president, Hon. w. J.
Van Patten. Burlington, VT. secretary,
Gen. y. g. Williams, and treasurer, E.
L. Walker, Bellows Falls, VT, thus doing
away with the office of superintendent,
the people in charge of each Home being
known as manager and matron. The
Office OF the Homes is located with the
4 treasurer, and all business is transacted
through this Office. The paper published
I in the interest Of the Homes and formerly
sent out from Westminster is now edited
at the office. with correspondent at each
I Home.
Mr.. and Mrs. n w. Packard. who
were engaged for one year to eli the va
cancy caused by the resignation Of Mr..
and Mrs. Bishop, have accepted posi-
tion in the Lyman school, Westhoro.
Mass. and Mr.. and Mrs. McGinnis, who
are employed at North Chelmsford
Mass., have been secured to fill the va
cancy. The trustees feel that in Mr.. and
Mrs. McGinnis they have secured people
admirably adapted by training and expe-
rience for this position. Mr.. MeGinnis
is graduate Of the Military academy,
Bordentown, n. j., aad a Vermont uni
versity man. He will assume the duties
OF teacher in the school aud will stand for
all the educational work with the boys.
The farm viii continue under the direc-
tion of the farm manager, j. ID. Judd,
who. with his vile, has been connected
with Kurn Hattin for six years. Mrs.
McGinnis is the daughter of ex-Mayor
Boynton of Everett, Mass, and adds to
thorough musical education at Boston
conservatory special training for the posi-
tion of matron by course at Simmons

This plan is the result of careful DELHI
Grafton on the part of those who have
the matters in charge and it is believed
will bring equally good if not better re-
suits at a considerable decrease in the
cost for current expenses.

The Buell. Store Burned.

One of the most disastrous fires that
ever came to this village destroyed the
store belonging to s. B. Buell. & Co.
Wednesday night OF last week.
The store was one of the old landmarks
OF the village and was built by s. F.
Frary more than so years ago, the firm
being Harriss q Frary. The old part Of
the store was over 100 years old and at
one time was occupied by Jonathan
Frary, father Of s. f. Frary.
The FIRE was first discovered about
1880 p. m, by Albert Preston, who
promptly gave the alarm. Rev. @. w.
Bennett and Guy Colby were the first to
reach the attic, where the fire must have
been smouldering for some time, al
though there was no smell CT smoke
when Mr.. Buell. and one OF the clerks
made the usual rounds before closing for
the night. Fire extinguishcrs were Of no
avail and, in spite OF the heroic efforts OF
the men, the fire made rapid progress
and the building was burned to the
ground.
Many Of the goods in the front store
were taken into the street and houses OPP
posite. All of the postoflce goods, in
Guiding mail, express supplies, books,
etc. were saved by one of the Harvard
boys in Professor Whites camp.
Men, women and children worked for
two solid hours carrying water and goods
and fighting the fire, which could not be
conquered. The stiffness Of the night
the trees and the heroic work of the anna
teur firenlen saved the house of s. F
Frary, who is in his s7th year. He
stoutly refused to be taken to place o.
safety, but finally reluctantly went to tbs
house of his daughter, Mrs. Buell.. TIT
store belonging to B. F. Quimby wal
damaged and many things were takeI
from the Preston house, as the barn wa
