J. T. REMINGTON DEAD
WelI-known Contractor and BuiIde
Passed Away Early This Morning

Well-knoWn Contractor and BuiIde,
Passed Away Early This Morning
J. 7. Remington, a contractor and
builder and one of Bennington's high
ly respected citizens, passed away al
his home on Hillside street early
this morning. He had been i'll for
more than week with a severe
bronchial cold, but had not been con
tinuously confined TO the house. Last
night pneumonia developed and death
resulted in few hours.
julius Tasso Remington was a ma
tive OF Wallingford where he was
born nearly 63 years ago. He was
the son of John X. Remington and
Laura Edgerton, both deceased.
Mr.. Remington came to Bennington
about Is years ago as a superinten-
dent for the Ripley Lumber company
of Poultney. His first work was the
finishing OF the Fred o. Graves resi-
dence on Elm street. Later he built
for the Ripley company the Wells l..
Field house at Old Bennington and
the George Worthington house in that
village He also completed the resi-
dence of Miss Mary X. Sanford.
When the Bennington and Rutland
Railroad company decided to build
the present station the contract was
let TO a Worcester, Mass, firm and
Mr.. Remington was placed in charge
of the construction. When the sta
ton was built he formed a partner
ship with Il. b. Winslow under the
firm name of Winslow & Remington.
This firm conducted a plumbing es-
adjustment on Main street on the
site at present occupied by the No
week building and was also engaged
in general contracting. Mr.. Reming-
ton sold his interest in the firm about
six years ago and formed contract
ing and building partnership with
Seymour +. Wood under the firm
name of Remington 4 Wood. This
firm was in existence for about
three years. Since the dissolution of
the latter partnership Mr.. Remington
had been engaged in general con-
tracing and has carried out many of
the changes in building construction
that have added so much to the i'm
proved appearance of Main street.
Mr.. Remington was the last of his
family. Other than his widow, who
was Kate Kelsey of Salisbury, there
are no survivors. He had no chill
dTen.
Mr.. Remington was a citizen in all
that the word means. He was thor
oughly upright in his dealings, con-
soientious in his work and an adyo-
cate of every movement that had for
its object the progress and the uplift
of the community.
He was a member of the Masonic
order and had been an efficient work
er in the state organization of the
knights of Pythias. During the years
that the latter order had a strong
membership in Bennington and before
the social clubs had attained their
present standing he was one of the
leading knights.
The funeral. which will be private,
will be held from the house alto o.
clock Saturday morning, Rev. w. F..
Meyer, pastor of the Baptist church
officiating. The remains will be TAX
en- to Scottsville, small village
about FIVE miles from Dandy, for in
terment.

a very little coin is better for the
ewes at this time.
If given plenty of pasture and for
age the ewes can be kept in a flesh
gaining condition with very little ad.
ditional grain feed; but if the season
Is exceedingly dry it will pay to sup
ply supplemental feeds at once.
A little dry roughage is eaten with
great relish and many sheep owners
feed a dry ration once a day, thus
getting the ewes gradually accus.
toned to the dry ration before they
are placed in winter quarters. This
provides against deranging the ewes
digestive organs and modifies the in.
fiuence Of the sudden change in feed
Many successful men find that their
ewes take on better flesh and hold

Tod much better than when they mus,

forage crops will cause ewes to takt

RAB1D MuhB EwoKE IN HOUSE.
Animal was Killed, hut Not Until
He'd Smashed I'hinSa Generally.

Spartanburg, Dee A.. Aroused
from their slumbers at ! O'Clock yes
terday morning by furious batter
ing on the front door o. their house,
near Boiling Springs, Charlie Chap
man, who lives on j. D. Collins farm,
and the members of his family, Jump
ed hastily from their beds to find
out who was trying to batter down
the house at that unearthly hour OF
the nighttime, when suddenly the
door fell in with fearful crash and
Mr.. Chapman's fine farm mule gave
furious snort and plunged into the
room and cavOrted around at furi-
our rate,putting the occupants of the
house to flight. 1t was a fearful mo-
ment for Mr.. Chapman and the
members Of his family, for they were
In constant danger Of being struck by
the iron-shod hoofs Of the rabid ami
NAL, or being bitten.The mule lunged
and pitched about the house, rising
up first on his hind legs and paving
the floor, swapping at everything in
sight, then kicking up his hind legs,
knocking tables, chairs and other
pieces Of furniture into smithereens.
When the mad mule first broke
into the dwelling Mr.. Chapman was
oo ulHSlfSu Iutl uS lOSC COnCrOl or
himself, not knowing just how to
handle the situation. He soon re-
covered himself, however, and made
a desperate effort to get the animal
out of the house, though he dared
not venture close to the rabid mule.
He threw open all the doors, think
ing perhaps the mule in his mad
career about the house might per-
chance leap through one Of the open
ings and thus free himself and fam
lily from danger of serious harm. The
mule, however, refused to leave the
dwelling, but held the fort, smashing
furniture in first one room and then
another by it's wild antics.
After trying for more than an
hour to put the mule to flight and
failing, Mr.. Chapman decided to use
force and arms in regaining posses
sion Of his home Securing his gun,
and after seeing that il was heavily
charged, he opened fire on the mad
animal. When the first shot was
fired into the animals head it gave
a hoarse below like some wild beast
Of the jungle and plunged about the
room like whale stuck with har-
poon. He fired again and again, the
fifth shot putting the mule out of
business.
