MURDER IN sFAYSTON.
Fighting .Jin'' Baird Killed.
OzaarreI at His Funeral.

Mrs. James Baird, George Watson
and Edward Conway were arrested
Wednesday night in 1.-THE wilderness
between Fayston and Hunting ton,
charged with knowing something
concerning the death of James c..
Baird, found. dead beside the road in
Fayston at an early hour Wednesday
morning. States Attorney J. Ward
Carver, Sheriff E. H. Tracy and
Deputy Lawson were called to pig
con Hollow" in Fayston, to investi-
gate BairdRs death. Baird's head
was badly battered, evidently with a
club or stone. The body was found
between his house and that of Albert
Kingsbury. Baird was As years of
age, married and commonly known
as Fighting Jim" Baird. He has
something of a court record. Baird S
body was found by Charles Croumie,
a teamster. ;Cpoumie was driving a
load of lumber along the highway
when the horses Rhied. Getting off
the team to investigate, Croumie
discovered the body just off the
road. He went to a nearby house
and te1ephoned the town and coun-
ty authorities who Immediately
started for the scene Baird was 40
years old and was quarrelsome when
drinking He had been in many
scrapes and had been arrested and
in Jail number OF times.
His wife, accompanied by her
attorney and the jailor's daughter,
attended the funeral and viewed his
of his relatives. who had gathered
at the house and were bound that
she should not step inside.
Mrs Baird fOunO her husbands
relatives numbering a dozen or more
camped in the house, and showed
their unfriendliness toward her as
soon as she crossed the threshold.
The funeral was slated to come off
at 10 O'Clock and it was II before
the minister began the service. One
man claimed that DR.. Stone, the
state pathologist, who conducted the
autopsy, left instructions that the
coffin should not be opened but as the
remains were in charge of the under
taker, Attorney Bailey didn't see
why such orders were binding and
insisted that his client had right
to see her. husband. Some of the
men threatened to mix things if
Mrs. Baird entered the room where
the body was placed, and for half
an hour there was a battle of words
in which Mrs. Baird showed that she
was past master Constable George
Grandf1eld of Fayston who had drop
ped into the funeral to see that it
was run according to Hoyle, took
sides with Mrs. Baird, and told the
men objecting to her that If there
was mixup they could figure him
in. Cooler heads among the mourn
ers induced. the others to withdraw,
the lid of the coffin was raised, and
after Mr.. Bailey and the constable
peeked into the casket to assure
themselves that the remains were
presentable, Mrs. Baird was permit
ted to view the body. She cried
hard and her grief did not appear to
be put on for the occasion. While
the others went to Waitsfeld with
the body for interment she stayed
behind in the house with her attor-
ney and Mrs. Lawson and picked up
her personal belongings and private
papers which will be left with the
probate court as soon as an admin

1he leading magazines
highly praised Clyde Fitch's
latest farce, The Blue Mouse ,
which Mr.. E. J. Carpenter
will offer here for the End
time next Monday.
The Scrap Book said "The
Blue Streak" is what "The Blue
Mouse" should be called. Ger
tainly it is ratified off at lively
pace, and as there is nothing else
like it in town, shouldn't be sur
prised to see it run as long as Mr..
Fitch's "Gir1s''.
Of course, you might know
from past experience that "The
Blue Mouse" is an actress and not
an animal. It seems to me that
these French and German play
wrights can't evolve comedy that
doesn't circulate around married
man falling in love with a woman
of this sort. The twist in this
case is derived from the. absolute
novelty of the man not loving her
at all, and kissing her only under
protest, because he had hired her to
pose as his wife in order that she
may pluck from the fire the chest
nut of a fat job by reason of his
boss falling in love with her.
When it is stated that he has
wife of his own to whom he is de-
voted, you can have some faint
idea of the complications.

There are many poor homes

Claus is a stranger. To the little
children of these homes the noted
patron saint is more a fable than
with other children, as they never
see any tangible evidences of his
visits. They do not know what he
is like in any way. To them a pair
of shoes. stockings, gloves, or any
of the much needed wearing appar-
el, would mean much; would mean
at least that they are not forgotten
