Lack of Ammunition Forces Re-
 treat From Agua Prietd.

Under cover of darkness the GOO in- surrectos who have been holding Agua Prieta evacuated the place and disap- peared.
 This was discovered when the 1,20C federal troops under command of Colo, mel Dfaz advanced to attempt a sur. prise attack. They were amazed when they did not meet with resistance and speedily took possession of the town.
 The reason for the retreat of the in. surgents is not known, but it is sup posed that they exhausted their am intuition in the severe fighting and were unable to obtain fresh supplies.
 Seventeen, hours of almost incessant fighting found the rebels holding al. most every position they had gained Then the federals carried the battle to the borders of the town.

 Der Commits Awful Deed.

Grant Rickert, ffty-two years old, proprietor of a large plumbing estab- lishment in South Youngstown, O., killed his wife and two children, fatal ly wounded two other children so that they died later and killed himself. Rickert was losing his sight and was evidently afraid that he would become totally blind and that 1t would make him helpless to care for his family.
 He first wrote a note to Dr. Cross, the coroner, which he left in the house. He said he thought he was going blind, his wife had dizzy spells and that his oldest son and daughter were not in good health. There were other req sons of n like nature, he said. why he was going to do the terrible deed. He knew that his wife wanted to go with him and that he had made up his mind to take her and the children.
 The wife, Celia Rickert, forty five years old, was killed with an ax, and two daughters, Charlotte, eleven years old, and Helen, fifteen years old, were killed in the same way. A son, Ray mond. seven years old, and another daughter, Pearl, eight years old, were also wounded and died in the hospital. The oldest son, Edwin, sixteen years old, was hurt, but will probably recov- CT. Rickert turned the revolver on himself after his wild attack on his family and killed himself with the first ahoT

BIG FISH AND GAME SH OW
New Building Erected for this
Purpose at Addison County Fair

The officials of the Addison County
Agricultural Society are busy with the
details of the 67th annual exhibition
which takes place on the well appointed
grounds here Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday, August 80, 30, 81
and Sept. /. 1t is planned to make
bigger and better fair than has ever
taken place on the grounds before and
the reputation already won in this res
pect places this event in the foremost
ranks of agricultural fairs.
Among the new exhibits will be big
showing of the fish and game of YER
mont and for this display a special build
ing has been erected. The structure
will be 80 feet long by 25 feet wide and it
will be provided with equipment for
the special showing of both game and
fish.
An expert from the government fish
cries department at Washington will be
in attendance during the fair and lend
his aid toward making the exhibit one
Vi BTedI value anu interest,
A host of Addison county residents
have taken hand in gathering together
specimens of the finny tribes and the
animals that still abound about the
state. A herd of dozen deer have this
early been assembled. The collection
promises to be a big one-in fact the big
gest ever seen under one roof in the
state.
Entries for the class races will close
August 25 and each class already has
big entry. The racing schedule will be
the largest in the history. of the society
and in every respect "the great fair of
the Champlain Valley" promises to add
greatly to this reputation.
In recent years, during the days of the
Addison County fair, many of the mer-
chants have shown most commendable
spirit of helpfulness by the tasteful deco
ration of their places of business 1t is
certainly to be hoped that this year will
be no exception, as for many reasons it
is believed that this will be the biggest
and best event the association has vet
held. uniform system of decoration
Is greatly desired, AS by this means most
pleasing effects can be secured. 1t is
understood that possibly some effort will
be made on the part of the association
and the business houses to work together,
thereby ensuing decorations that will not
be costly to any individual if local
decorators would lend their help, this
result could almost be assured.
