TRAGIC END
OF MAN HUNT
Bodies Of One Officer and One
Prisoner Found
AND TWO MORE ARE SOUGHT
Ellsworth, Me-, Sheriffs Went into Woods
to Capture Suspects in Robbery of
Cottage and Were Drowned
in Upper Green Lake.

Ellsworth, Me-, Nov. 24.--The bodies
of Deputy Sheriff Edward Finn and Cap.
tain Joseph Clough, one of the two pris.
oners of Deputy Finn and High Sheriff
John Webster, were found in Upper
Green lake to-day, removing all doubt
that the two officers and their prison
era were drowned while attempting to
cross the lake yesterday. The lake is
being dragged for the bodies of the
others.
Early investigation revealed the fact
that the two officers drove TO point
near the end Of the lake and, leaving
their horses, set out on foot for a camp
in an isolated spot on the shore, where
it was known two or three men were
stopping and where the officers hoped
To find the loot from the cottage of John
Thorton Of Bangor on Green lake. The
men were suspected Of stealing the prop
erty.
When the officers did not return,
searchers, who visited the camp, found
it deserted, but>there were indications
that it had been left hurriedly with the
intention Of an early return. There
were guns in the rack and food and
clothing in the camp. 1t is thought that
the officers attempted to take their men
across the upper end of the lake in a
boat and that they were swamped by
the gale which was blowing.

MANY DOES SLAUGHTERED
Through Rutland County, But Few
Prosecutions Thus Far.

Rutland. Nov. 24.-The number of does
shot illegally in this vicinity during the
present deer season is unusually large,
Notwithstanding the fact that there has
been snow on the ground all of the
time and with a white background. il
is generally an easy matter to ascertain
at glance whether or not a deer has
antlers. Already 80 does and fawns,
which II is unlawful to kill, have been
reported to County Game Warden F. w.
Hayward and some have been found in
almost every tow nship in the county.
Several hunters are of the opinion that
the number killed is no greater than
usual, the snow ON the ground making
il possible to discover more readily the
traces left by poachers than was the
case in most previous seasons when bare
leaves covered the earth.
In many cases the does have been
found dead, but several wounded ami
mails have been discovered and persons
notifying the county game warden have
been instructed to shoot them in order
to check their suffering.
So far little evidence has been secured
against any of the offenders who direct
ed their bullets at does and fawns but
Mr.. Hayward has instructed his deputies
to make every effort to bring the guilty
hunters to justice.

HAD LONG CHASE
Before Charles Galusha Was Caught For
Vermont Tnal.

Bangor, Nov. 24.--After a chase across
three states, Deputy Sheriff j. ID. Purdy
of Manchester, Vt, with the aid of the
Bangor police captured Charles Gam-
sha, 2S years old, of that town, here
yesterday.
Galusha is wanted on the charge Of
the larceny Of half ton Of copper wire
from the New England Telephone 4
Telegraph company. About week ago
Adolphus Maseur, a brother-in-law Of
Galusha, was arrested in keene, n. H.,
charged with the theft, and implicated
Galusha.
Deputy Sheriff Purdy traced Galusha
to Boston just too late to get his man,
who had engaged to 90 into the Maine
lumber woods for a paper company
P,Tdy came to Maine, reaching kineo
last Sunday, and then plunged into the
widest part of the Maine wilderness
and walked nearly so miles TO the com.
pany's camp on the South branch of the
PeRobscpt, only 10 find that Galusho
had "jacked his job" and gone to Ban

police, who hunted through the 1000 or
more laborers now at work in the burned
district.
Yesterday morning patrolman Harry
Baker discovered man answering to
the description in the pick and shovel
gang excayating for the new high school,

ACCEPT RESIGNATION
OF THEIR PASTOR
Barre Baptists Voted Last Night To
Sever Relations As Early As De-
cember II, As He Wished.

Following the notice of resignation
read by The pastor, Rev. W. E. Braist-
ed, last Sunday morning, largely at
tended meeting Of the members and ad-
herents of the First Baptist church was
held in the church vestry last evening
Rev. Mr.. Braisted presided and after
lengthy consideration of his action
ii was unanimously voted to accept his
resignation. Despite the fact that the
church experiences a keen feeling Of re-
Wet in being compelled to sever the
ties between pastor and people, it was
the general sense of the meeting that
Mr.. Braisted should be granted the OPP
portunity to enlarge the scope of his
work in more extensive field.
Although the constitution Of the church
stipulates certain length Of time, which
shall elapse before the resignation of
pastor becomes effective, the meeting
last night removed such restrictions and
Mr. Braisted was given the privilege
Of leaving for his new field by Decem-
Der IL 1t is likely that he will deliver
his farewell sermon on that day which
falls on Sunday. In the meantime, the
finance committee will take such action
as is necessary toward securing sue
cessor to the resiguing pastor.

the murder of Martha B. Blackstone, is
rapidly drawing to an end, and within

tai testimony to-day.
Dir. G. z. Hooker, county physician,

poison him at the jail After officers
had overpowered the prisoner, he was
quiet for the rest of the day and APP
peared to pay little further attention
to the testimony
Several witnesses for the state testified
that at the time they knew Spencer he
appeared in normal mental condition. A
convict from the state prison, Horace st.
John. Said that while he was in the in
sane asylum he told Spencer that one
who could sing and draw as we'll as
Spencer did not seem to be very insane,
whereupon Spencer made various queer
motions with his head and body and told
witness that if he did not do those
things the doctors would think he was
sane.
The witness testified also that Spencer
said he killed Miss Blackstone instead
of hitting her and making his escape be-
cause dead people tell no tales"
DIR. Leonard A. Baker, first assistant
physician at the Bridgewater hospital
insane department, testified that Spen-
Ger was mentally defective but not in
sane.
DIR. Hosea M. Quinby. superintendent
of the Worcester state insane hospital,
asked if Spencer's movements the night
of the murder coineided with those of
sane man, replied that they We're con-
sistent with the actions of a sane man.
DR.. D. IT. Fuller, visitor for the
state board of insanity, said he exam
ined Spencer in Springfield this fan and
was convinced that he was sane.

HIGH CLASS MINSTRELSY
BY BARRE FUNMAKERS
Knights of Pythias Performers Were
Greeted by Big House Last
Evening and They Earned
the Hearty Applause,

Knights of Pythias minstrels made
their second annual appearance in the
opera house last night before an audi
ence that filled the auditorium and made
good sized crowd in the galleries. The
high degree of excellence which the
"Dokie" funmakers attained last year
was more than maintained on this occa-
sion and expressions of enthusiastic APP
probation were the unanimous rule, with
never an exception, from the moment the
curtain rose to good old southern
plantation melody to that closing part
of the olio where little "Jake" struggled
hopelessly in the clinches of a real live
ghost whose identity did not need to
be revealed.
With the volume of sixty welltrained
voices harmoniously blended, one OF the
finest opening choruses ever heard in
Barre prepared the audience for a rare
feast of fun and music A medley which
included, among dozen Others, such
catchy, tuneful lays as Il Likes You
Honey" "Everybody's Good to Me- and
bye, Bye, Sailor Boy" caught the audi
ence at the first note and the close at
tention then secured never Jagged
throughout the show.
w. A. Drew acted eapably as the con-
versationalist and proved himself a
graceful target for the quips of the
endmen To the blaekfaced men, three
at either end of the circle, belong a deal
of credit for the success of the opening,
Messrs. Ham Bone and Bone Ham, whose
belated arrival was accomplished in an
airship some time after the show began,
were perhaps the stars in the funmaking.
Together they were veritable factory
of laugh producers. The circle soloists,
consisting of William Mercer, William
Hurry. Alexander Mckenzie and William
II. Robertson, as well as Alex. Mckenzie
and his nifty crew Of sailor lads, all
played headline parts in making the
production shining success. Applause
at the close of the first part was of q
deafening kind seldom given even to
local characters on the stage.

BARRE FIRMS WIN
IN RATE CONTENTION
Interstate Commerce Commission Has
Rendered a Decision Which De-
fines a Mausoleum.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 24.-There
has lust been rendered a decision by the
interstate commerce commission under
which the Montpelier & Wells River
railroad and the Central Vermont rail
way must participate in the repayment
of an oyercharge of freight rates paid
on Barre granite. Jones Brothers com
pany Of Barre and Mcdonnell a. Sons
Of Buffalo. N. ", and Barre were the
eomplainants. Jones Brothers are Civ.
en- a refund of S99.S0 and Mcdonnell g.
Sons will be repaid S35262 and SEQ in
demurrage charges. Other railroads over
which the granite was routed participate
in the refund ordered.
incidentally the commission defines
mausoleum as building. II was for
this construction that the granite was
shipped. The controversy arose over the
distinction in rates between monumental
stone and building stone, the companies
contending that the stone was building
stone and as such not subject to the
higher rate assessed by the railroad
classification.
Jones Brothers company shipped three
carloads of granite, weighing 90SO0
pounds, on August and 10, 1910, over
the lines of the Montpelier & Wells
River railroad. Boston & Maine railroad,
Canadian Pacific Railway company, Wa
bash Railroad company, and Illinois Cen
tral Railroad company from Barre to
Paducan. The bills of lading prepared
BY complainant described the shipment
as 10 and 2l boxes of building granite,
dressed mot polishedl. Charges amount
ing to S2l9.56, at a rate of p cents per
100 pounds, were prepaid. After in
spection of the shipment by the delivering
carrier the rate was increased to 32 cents
and $99s0 additional was collected, max
ing the total freight charges S3l9.36.
Complainant asserts that the rate of %
cents should have been applied.
Mcdonnell & Sons shipped three car
loads Of granite, weighing 10000 pounds,
on December 27, 1910, over the lines
Of the Central Vermont Railway COM
pany, New York. New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad company, Pennsylvania
Railroad company, and Louisville 4
Nashville Railroad company from Barre
to Bingham. The Pennsylvania rail
road company was not made a party de.
fendant The bill Of lading describes the
shipments as 43 packages of building
stone. Freight charges we're collected
in the sum Of S67gl2, at a rate of 81
cents. applicable to monumental stone.
Pending controversy respecting the
rate lawfully applicable to the ship
ment, $50 demurrage charges accrued and
wire paid by complainant, and this
amount is included in its claim for
reparation. Complainant contends that
a rate Of % cents on building stone
suitable for the exteror of buildings"
should have been applied.
