W.. BROWN IN JAIL
HERE ON SERIOUS
CHARGE
Alleged to Have Fired Shot at
North Bennington Man
NO CAUSE FOR Rash ACT
Generally Believed That Brown lie
Mentally Unbalaneed-Has Wife
and Four Children

William J. Brown, farmer be-
tween 40 and As years of age and liv-
ing about one and one half miles out Of
North Bennington on the White Creek
road, is in the county Jail charged
with attempting to shoot s. w. Center
the proprietor of North Bennington
grocery store.
The offence with which Brown is
charged is alleged to have taken
place on the White Creek road Satur-
day forenoon a short distance out of
the village According to the story
OF Mr.. Center he was driving in the
direction of White Creek Saturday
forenoon taking orders for groceries.
He was accompanied by Edward Nash
a son of Andrew Nash, young
man of Is years who is employed in
the North Bennington paper mill.
About half mile out of the village
the two men in the grocery wagon
met and passed Brown who was on
foot and walking toward the village.
The three persons had no converse
tior at the time of the passing in the
road, The delivery wagon had passed
Brown but a short distance when
Center and Nash were startled by
the report of pistol and turning in
their seats saw Brown coming toward
them with a revolver in his hand
Nash at once called out, You've
got the wrong people, haven't you?
What are you shooting at us for?"
Brown answered, Get out of the
wagon"
There was no getting out of the wag-
on, however. MIR. Center at once used
his whip on the horse and drove out
of range as quickly as possible. AS
soon as he returned TO the village Mr.
Center came to Bennington and made
complaint TO States Attorney Meagh-
Ter. A warrant was issued for Brown s
Iarrest and placed in the hands of Of
ficer Richard Hurley. The officer
was delayed by a thunder storm but
arrived here with his prisoner about
8 o'clock In the evening He brought
with him the revolver with which
Brown is alleged to have done the
shooting, 80 calibre weapon consid
erably larger than pocket size.
There is an impression among many
of the people who are acquainted witt
Brown that the man is mentally un
balanced. He is reported to have
made unwarranted threats against his
neighbors and to have acted strange
ly on a number OF occasions. The
only possible motive that could have
prompted Brown to make the attemp
upon Center's life is a reported diff
Guilty between the two men over the
collection of bill owed to the gro
ceryman by the farmer.
The farm occupied by the Brown
family, in which there are four chill
dren, aged s, II, ~, and IL, is a small
place which Mrs. Brown told Office
Hurley stood in her name.

Won for Present Title

Chicago, Sept. 5.-The geographical
center of the wrestling world is now
more than ever fortified at Humboldt,
Ia, the home of Frank Gotch. More
over, Referee ED" Smith, who pro-
claimed the worlds champion victor
over George Hackenschmidt here yes
terday declared that for the next 10
years there would be no shift of the
wrestling capitol. unless Gotch should
choose to change his place of resi-
dence The Russians showing was
pltiful The crowd decreed that he
had quit" but the defeated challen-
ger, through copious tears, averred
that he entered the arena with a
wrenched knee on which Gotch work
ed and speedily reduced him to a
state of comparative helplessness.
The foreigners nerves were on
edge He spent sleepless night and
was pale when he crawled through the
ropes. DR.. ]. ]. Davis, who examined
both wrestlers declared that though
there might be something wrong
with Hackenschmidt' knee, 1t was not
evident during the examination.
While II took Gotch IA minutes and Is
seconds to gain the R-st fall, the sec.
ond fall required only five minutes
and 80 seconds, which Hackers
chmidt's friends assert, proved that
his knee was in bad condition. Ref
cree Smith Is authority for the state

tai toe lock which won him the match
Hackenschmidt cried out: Don
hurt my toe, and a second later
Don't break my leg" and fell witt
his shoulders to the mat, frothing a.

Gotch is famous, was responsible FOL

the left foot of Hackenschmidt aftei
the second fall had gone five minutes

acknowledged defeat. Hackers

Gotch never was in serious difficult

BEATTlE ON THE STAND
Young Virslnan Charged With Wife
Murder Has Hard Day

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Sept
5-Henry Clay Beattie Jr., indicted
for the murder of his wife, was on the
witness stand six hours Monday. A
vigorous cross examination by the
commonwealth was interrupted In the
evening by adjournment Of court for
the day. Today Prosecutor WendeD-
burg will continue his questions. The
prisoners manner yesterday was cool
and collected, as he unfolded the sor-
did details of his relations with Beu-
lah Binford, II year old girl, for
whom the prosecution alleges Beattie
killed his bride of a year. But not
alone the orgies of the four years be-
fore his marriage and those that pre-
coded the homicide but the grewsome
tale of the attack by the highwayman,
the wild ride to the Owen home at
speed of 55 miles an hour with the
lifeless body of his wife in the ma
chine beside him was given to the
jury. The prisoner by request OF the
prosecution stood up TO full length
and donned the bloodstained coat that
he wore the night of the murder and
ATTEMPTED to explain why blood had
not fiecked certain portions OF the
garment II his wife was reclined
against him in the way he described
The clothes Of the dead woman had
been burned just before the arrest Of
Beattie and as more than one, there
was occasion TO refer to them Prose
cutor Wendenburg exclaimed: .
wish to God we had them here"
Beattie answered questions readily
in an even voice and without emo
ton. In no essential did his version
of the affair yesterday differ from thai
which he gave at the coroner's In
quest or that to which the defense
through its witnesses, hitherto ha
chung. The direct examination last
ed only 2ia hours while the cross ex
animation had proceeded 3h hour
when court adjourned for the day.
Denial after denial came from th'
lips OF the prisoner as Prosecute
Wendenburg questioned him concern
ing the alleged purchase OF shotgun
Ifor him by his cousin. Paul Boattie
and the testimony OF the latter. II
admitted little OF Pauls testimon.
concerning his meeting with him.
The influence OF Beulah Binfor'
upon the case was conspicuou
throughout the day. Counsel for tn
defense twitted the prosecution 10
not putting the girl on the witnes
stand, since the state had subpoenae
her. The prosecution intimated tina
It would call the girl when rebuttal b
