ANGRY FARMER SHOT
 UNWELCOME GUEST

Frank Fragesse, a trackwalker on the Naugatuck division, near Nauga- tuck Junction, found it impossible to resist the inviting appearance or a fine plot of tomato plants in dot skirting the railroad track this noon. He hadn't had a chance to sink hls feet into a luscious red tomato when there was a heavy report, and he felt 2 stinging sensation in his back. Without stopping to inquire the cause of the commition he vaulted the fence and rushed down to the railroad sta tion at Naugatuck Junction. An angry farmer had discharged a shot gun at him.
 "You look more like a sieve than anything else I can think off, said a fellow laborer, who helped him board a train and accompanied him to this city.
 pr. H. R. Bennett counted 68 punc- lures in the mans neck, back, and legs, each caused by a tiny leaden shot.
 The doctor fshed out IA, then F,ragesse said he didn't like the game and wouldn't play any more. So the doctor cleaned out the wounds as well as he could and sent tie man home.
 Fragesse was a considerable dis tance from the shotgun, elsa the in- juries might have been serious.

MOTOR CYCLE COPS
 CLOSE CALL WHEN PURSUING AUTOlST

In pursuit of Brandon Hendricks, TAO Ellsworth street, Motorcycle Po- liceman Gorgas narrowly escaped dam gerous injury at Fairfield and West avenues, this. forenoon. Gorgas hao a number of complaints as 10 Hen dricks' reckless driving of a high pow cred limousine and other cars, and this forenoon took up his trail at the juno tion of State street and Fairfield ave- nue. as Hendricks came into the city.
 Hendricks speed was ciocked on tke motorcycle speedometer at 40 miles at some parts of the journey. Gorgas was close behind him when he passed West avenue, and at that point a team drove across the street. GorgaS swerved and missed the team by to what spectators seemed but a hair. He continued the chase but owing to the condition of Fairfield avenue did not overtake the motorist until ths car stopped at Jennings garage. Then he took Hendricks to police headquar- ters.
 He accompanied Hendricks to a bank downtown, where the automobiI- ist got a check for $100 cashed. He left the money at headquarters and returned to Black Rock. Hendricks is one of several men interested in the construction of a flying machine in Black Rock. ADVERTISE IN THE FARMER

"A phase of the servant girl ques-

said the nervous woman. "A prepos-
sessing looking girl was brought for

COLTS, CATTLE, SHEEP,

1t has been the aim of the
Highland Live Stock Show
Association from the outset
to encourage stock raisers to
breed UP in all classes of
stock and boost the fact by
exhibiting the same al4lual-
ly at the stock show.
To carry these ideas of the
association into effect and
getit on firm financial basis, it
was necessary-with a limit
ed means-to work on con-
servative lines to meet the
heavy expense, and as fast
as these obligations can be
paid off the associations will
be more generous in prizes
andin extending privileges to
county exhibitors. What
the show and exhibitor need
is cooperation.
Every one should feel an
interest and see the advaIt-
age of a stock show in the
county. More strangers learn
of us by it. 1t makes more
buyers and puts us in the
progressive class.
This year, colts, cattle,
sheep, hogs, etc. will be
entered free of charge. Send
to the secretary a list of
stock and number of classes
you wish entered so they
can be recorded. Don't put
it off. All the classes can
be seen on first page of Recor--
der.

thrashed

SCnuCn TaJner severely.
iSchuch went to police head
quarters and asked for the arrest
of young Neujahr and Wright.
He was referred to a justice of
the peace. He finally swore out
a warrant charging young Neu-
jahr with assault and battery.
But before he left police head
quarters, Schuch told the detec-
tives there that Wright had tried
to poison him during the visit to
Nebraska. No attention was paid
to the charge at the time.
A week passed. The despond-
ency that had settled on Schuch
on the day he was branded in the
federal court seemed to increase
daily. He talked bitterly against
Wright. And he did not seem to
be at all well.
On the morning of the tenth of
March, Schuch did not appear at
his office. He had not arrived by
noon, and here were several peo-
pie waiting to see. him.
A message was sent to the ho-
tel. Schuch was stil1in bed. An
attempt was made to waken him.
He did not answer. The door was
tried. 1t was locked. It finally
was broken in.
Philip Schuch, Jr., was lying in
bed, dead.
A doctor was called. He pro-
nounced death due to heart fail
ure. The coroner took charge of
the body. Schuch's relatives and
friends made arrangements for
the funeral.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-12-28

In the desk was found half pint
bottle of whisky, three-quarters
full. There was writing on the;
label in Schuch's handwriting. It
read:
Gresham, Neb., February e.
Il believe the doctor with, me
fixed his whisky last night. I be-.
came deathly sick after taking a
drink of it. I vomited my head
off" 3
There was no signature.
The contents of the bottle were
analysed. The whisky was found
to contain enough arsenic to kin
a dozen men.
Wright and young Neujahi'
were arrested, the latter merely
because he was involved with
Wright in Schuch's charge of as
sault: Both were charged with
murder in the first degree.
Later, Schuch's stomach and
intestines were examined. There
were quantities of arsenic in the
liver.
But also, there was an abrasion
and break in the duodenum in
teStine. And the heart was more
than twice the normal size; both
of which things might have BEEN
the immediate cause of death.
The thing is more involveda
than it seems.
If Wright fixed" the bottle
of whisky with arsenic at Gresh-
am, Neb., on February q, why
did not Schuch die before March
