BEAN PLEADS GUILTY.

Without sign of emotion Arthur
Bean. a 19-year-old Maidstone lad,
stood up in the prisoners cage at the
Essex county courthouse Monday at
Guildhall and pleaded guilty to the
charge of numbering his mother and
his 15-year old sister Nina. The
crime was committed in the Bean
bone last March with no witnesses
present The indictment to which
the lad pleaded today did not fix the
degree of murder and tomorrow
Judge Fred M. Butler of Rutland,
who is presiding, will hear the evil
dence of the prosecution and decide
upon the degree before imposing
sentence. With a rifle slung over his
shoulder. Arthur Bean entered the
March and calmly announced that
his mother and sister had been shot
and killed. He said that he was
hunting the murderers. When the
neighbors reached the Bean home
they found the two women dead on
the floor and Mrs. Beams father,
John Sweet, 103 years old, in clos
ct. The old mans story was to the
effect that his grandson had ordered
him into a closet under penalty OF
getting hurt and that later he hac
heard shots fired. The boy was ar.
rested but stolidly maintained his in,
nocence. 1t was said at the time
that there had been trouble over a
small amount of property left by
young Beams father.

Barton Granite Business.

Gradually Barton granite is finding
its way into the market and is becom-
ing known, and so the granite business
in Barton is gradually expanding with
the prospect in the near future of a
more rapid growth and expansion
than heretofore. Fl. Charland of
Barre has leased the Barnard quarry
which has been the leading quarry for
BARTON stone for the past few years,
for term Of six years, and in the
spring expects to install power der
ricks and much additional equipment
at the quarry and greatly increase
the output. The quarry will be oper-
ated under the name of the Barton
Quarries Company. Mr.. Charland is
a relative of Mr.. Roy of the Roy, As
selin Granite company, and the new
deal will undoubtedly mean a great
impetus to the granite industry here
Prospecting is being continually car
ried on and good quarries are forth
coming in several places on Barton
mountain. Several parties are alsu
interested in locating additional stone
sheds in town and it is hoped the cut
ting end Of the business will be ex-
panded soon.

bert Williams of York, Pa, at st.
Johnsbury, WHO he believed was being
given preference by the superintend-
ent of the United States fish hatchery
there, of which Butterfeld was fore
man and Williams culturists. He
then fatally shot himself. The men,
who had worked together at the fish
hatchery for two years, had always
appeared on the best of terms. But
following the death of Butterfield' S
21-year- old daughter at Milford. lest

morose and quick Of temper. The
fact that Williams Came of a re.

ANOTHER GLOVER FIRE.

Glover suffered another severe fire
early Monday morning when the
Glover Mill, owned by w. A. Merri-
am and Son. was burned to the ground
together with a quantity of hay,
grain, tools and a pair of horses. The
fire apparently started in the horse
sheds connected with the mills and
when discovered about o'clock Mon
day morning the sheds and barn were
all ablaze and with a strong wind it
was impossible even with Glover's
new fre-fighting apparatus and every
other effort, to save the mill. About
$4,000 worth of grain was burned and
the buildings were valued at $4,000 be-
sides the horses, wagons and other
tools and equipment. There was only
about $1,000 worth of insurance. This
is the third bad fire Glover has ex-
perienced in the past few years.
