A Remarkable Life History.
The death of Laura CasweIl last
week in East Montpelier recalled a
famous homicide case that occurred
on September 5, 1889, when Sher-
man CasweH shot and killed George
Gould as he was entering Cutler
house with his bride. Gould's head
was blown off and his body rolled
down a hill into the highway. Cas-
well paid man SO cents to carry
him to Montpelier and met Charles
Def. Bancroft on the street. Mr.
Bancroft innocently asked what had
happened and Caswell supposing
told him the story. He offered no
resistance. Laura Cutler, daughter
of Timothy Cutler, and Caswell were
engaged to be married and he had
bought her wedding dress. Then
George Gould had little money fall
to him and she married Gould in
Worcester. They drove home and
as they were entering the house Cas-
well shot Gould from the chamber
window. During the trial Gould's
widow gave testimony that favored
CasWell, who was convicted of MUIR
der in the second degree. Between
the time of his conviction and the
time he was sent to Windsor Caswell
married her, the ceremony being per-
formed by Hiram A. Huse, the mar
rage being surprise to everyone.
Caswell's pension went to his wife
for while and then stopped. Her
petition later for divorce was de-
MED. When Sherman Caswell was
pardoned by Gov. Mccullough back
in 1902 he came to Montpelier and
now resides here but he and his wife
live apart. Mrs. Caswell has been
housekeeper for Lucius Gould fl
many years, she having peen born
and having died in the same house
this being also the same house at
which the tragedy took place. 1t is
located on the Calais road about a
mile and a half from Montpelier.

FrightfuI Wound From Shot Gun.
Word reached Brattleboro April
4, of the serious accident which befell
Edward Russell of Marlboro the pre-
vious afternoon as he attempted to
pick up a loaded shotgun from
boat and received the entire charge
in his left side below the heart. Rus
sell, who was repairing his boat at
Marlboro, South Pond, had finished
his work and picked up his gun. The
hammer caught and discharged the
weapon. One shot perforated his
left lung. The hole in the mans
side allowed one to see his heart and
other organs. He ran a mile and a
half to the nearest neighbor, who
sent for a physician. Though weak
from loss of blood, Mr.. Russell ex-
planned what had happened to him
and the doctor thinks he will recover,
though his wound is a frightfu1 one.

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNOIN

At Thursdays meeting the following resolution was pre- sented by committee previous ly appointed to review the tenn. perance part of Governor Dona- gheys address to the legislature.
 The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Prescott, (composed of 125 consecrated women) has carefully reviewed Governor Donaghoy's address to the legislature as it relates to the temperance question,
 And whereas, his utterances are not in conformity with the advanced sentiment of the state along this line,
 And whereas, the states which have adopted prohibition show such marked increase in material wealth and such a mark ed decrease in crime, therefore be it
 Resolved, That this body of women deeply deplore that the Governor of Arkansas still as. sumes such a conservative atti tude toward a matter of such vital importance to all the people, especially to the women and children of the state, and further that we memoralize him to follow the example of such staunch men as Elk. Gov. Glenn of North Caro- lima, Gov. StubbS of Kansas, Gov. Hooper of Tennessee and the governors of other states, in reco menending to this legisla- ture aggressive steps being taken toward the total abolition of the traffic in the state"
 The resolution was unanimous ly adopted by thesunion.
