First Encounter Near the Threat

Push His Army Through LakeViI'e
and MiddIeboro and on to Boston
Plan of Attack Altered.
The first clash at arms between the
red army of invasion which is attempt
ing TO capture Boston, and the blue
army of defense, the latter composed
wholly of Massachusetts militiamen,
took place near Wareham, near the
base Of Cape Cod.
Brigadier General William A. Pew,
commander of the blue army at
Bridgewater, sent his Second brigade
across the Colchester brook, along the
east side of the great cedar swamp,
through Halifax to East Middleboro,
with the extreme left resting at Ware
ham.
The front of the Second brigade's
left had hardly reached Wareham
when a detachment of the red army
cavalry appeared and a sharp en-
counter began.
The object of the attack was un-
loubtedly to draw the blue troops
away from the vicinity of Middleboro
and thus give General Bliss an oppor-
tunity to push the main strength OF
his red army up through Lakeville and

The second brigade of the blue
army resisted the attack of the caval-
ry, however, and it was evident that
General Pew was not going to throw
his strength on his extreme left, and
allow breach at Lakeville.
The First and Second Connecticut
and the Twenty-SecOnd and Seventh
New York infantry, encamped near
East Freetown, started early on the
march. These regiments are the main
body of Brigadier General Tasker III.
Bliss red army of invasion, and it was
evident that their commander wished
to strike the blue army at MiddIeboro.
Bliss had sent small detachment
of cavalry to the blue army's extreme
left at Wareham, hoping, it was sup
posed, to draw away from the vicinity
of Middleboro and Lakeville the main
body of General Pew's forces.
Finding that General Pew did not

TRIES TO KILL HER FAMILY
Chicago Woman Stays Three Of Her
Children and Herself.

At Chicago, Mrs. Marie Hand
zell killed three of her children, in
Guiding twins, and took her own life.
She did it because the burden of liv-
ing under continual stress of pain had
caused. her thread of reason to snap.
At least, such was the cause ascribed
by relatives.
The deed apparently was carefully
planned by the woman and almost re.
suited in the death of Joseph Hand
yell, the father of the family, who is
a furniture maker, and four other
children, who were made slightly i'll.
Mrs Handzell locked the children
and herself in the bathroom of the
brick cottage occupied by the family,
and turned on the gas. James and
Laddie, the twins, she placed in the
bathtub. and Joseph, four years old,
she took in her arms.
Mrs. Handzell who was thirty-eight
years old, was said by neighbors to
have lived practically for the sake OF
her children since last February, when
she left hospital after an operation
which had failed to relieve her from
suffering.
About o'clock in the morning the
father awoke, breathing heavily and
feeling as though there were a great
weight on his breast. He recognized
the influence of gas and by the exer-
ton of his utmost strength threw him.
self from the bed and went in search
of his children. In one bedroom,
sleeping in gas laden atmosphere, he
found Martha. fifteen years; Olga,
twelve years; John, nine years, and
Charles, seven years.
In the gray dawnlight which filtered
through the window of the bathroom
Handzell saw his wife lying stretched
upon IA pallet at the side Of the bath
tub with the motionless body of Jo-
seph in her arms and holding the end
of rubber tube in her mouth. In
the bathtub, wrapped in a quilt, were
the bodies of the twins
