Assaulted and Beaten by One-leeged
Man.

Assaulted and Beaten by One-legged
Man.
AS Jerry Nolan and Eugene Cray were
passing through Williams street, near
the gravel bank at the north end of the
village, Thursday afternoon, Sept. IA,
they were attracted to the gravel pit by
the moaning of someone evidently suf-
fering. They went to the spot, which
was somewhat hidden from the street,
and found Cornelius Doyle, a well-known
character about 20 years old, in the
clutches of a heavy, one-legged man,
John Henderson, who was giving Doyle
a terrible beating. They separated the
combatants and called Chiet-of-Polce
Severance, who arrested Henderson, and
Doyle was taken to his home on Pine
street and medical assistance summoned.
1t was found that one of Doyle's arms
was broken between the wrist and ell
bow, and his face and other parts of his
body were bruised badly by Henderson's
crutch.
An investigation was instituted at
once by Grand Juror Warner a. Gra-
ham, and after ascertaining that Doyle's
injuries probably would not prove fatal,
Henderson was arraigned before Judge
George H.. Thompson Saturday, charged
with intoXication and assault, and he
pleaded not guilty. He was brought be-
fore the court again Monday, Doyle be-

witnesses. The evidence showed that
Henderson's residence was in Clare
mont. He had been in Bellows Falls
three or four days as an itinerant needle
peddler, boarding at the Fall Mountain
House. A number of hard characters
from North Walpole had been with him
during the afternoon, and with liquor
which they procured in North Walpole
four or five had become badly intoxi-
Gated, including the two combatants.
The others had left the grave pit pre-
vious to the ARRAY, which probably was
caused by a difference of opinion as to
the relative amount of ardent to which
each was entitled.
The testimony of Doyle was so fire.
quently interpolated with unique express
sions and oaths that it was hard for the
court officials to keep their faces in a
decorous condition. Henderson was SEN
tenced to six months in Jail, and was

rance Tuesday morning.

POPE Is NEAR DEATH.
Pontff Has Painting Spell and Anxiety
ls Felt at Vatican.


ls Felt at Vatican.
Rome. June 20.-The pope has had
another fainting spell. He rallied
quickly upon reaching his private
quarters In the Vatican, but the condi-
tion of his health is causing grave
anxiety.
Although the members of his holi-
ness encourage are strictly forbidden
to mention the subject Of his illness.
or to spread rumors of an alarming
nature, 1t is known that they fear he
may die suddenly Of heart trouble.
The effect of the warm weather has
accentuated the symptoms of depres-
sion and cardiac weakness which Pope
Plus has been exhibiting for con-
siderable time.
His sisters, to whom he is devoutly
attached apparently fear the worst,
for they have taken quarters in a
modest fiat in the Piazza Rusticucci,
very close to the Vatican, and are in
constant telephone communication
with the pope's physicians.
Frequent visits of Cardinal Wives y
Tuto, the confessor and favorite ad-
wiser of his holiness, have caused much
comment within the past two or three
days.
The American correspondent learns
that the pope's illness is from an ad-
vanced stage of arteriosclerosis "a
hardening and thickening Of the walls
of the arteries), due to senile decay.
1t is known that there has been an
"active change of ideas" among the
cardinals stationed here in Rome as
to successor to Plus Y. The general
sentiment seems to favor Cardinal
Rampolla, who would have been elect
ed to the high Office to succeed the
late Leo XIII. save Tor the veto placed
upon his candidacy by the Austrian
government

TO TAKE CARE OF THE LACKA-
WAXEN WILLOWS,

The Ladies' improvement associa-
tion of this place held special
meeting last Friday evening, the
object of which was to consider
the advisability of trimming the
willow trees along the Lackawaxen
river.
AS the borough council had ap-
propriated $25 toward caring for
the trees, the society, at its meeting,
voted to furnish the balance "The
only way the association is able to
do this remarked Miss Petersen,
president of the association to a
Citizen reporter, sis by holding
chain teas. We could do more work
on the trees if there were additional
teas held which in turn would reim-
burse the treasury. More money
would be. appreciated and dona-
tions would be very acceptable for
this purpose just at this time The
experts say that the old willows will
live for 80 to 40 years longer, and
that a new growth will start i'm
mediately They said IL would be
shame to cut down these large,
beautiful trees"
