Stepson Who Fought With Mothers Husband
Over Auto Pleased With Progress of Case.

Mrs. Keefer if the peace bond which
she secured against her husband is
not violated, after a reasonable time.
In the meantime, both Mr.. and Mrs
Keefer have returned to their re-
spective homes-th- husband to the
home of his mother on Peachtree
Street, the wife to their beautiful
home on East Fourteenth near the
Driving Club.
Mrs. Keefer intends to remain here
temporarily, however, as she is even
now personally experimenting the
construction Of an apartment on
Peachtree Street, which, she says, will
be a home for women who have had
just such trouble in marital relations
as she.
Here, she says, she will live the
simple life-the ideal life, in her opin-
ion-surrounded by her little family,
a son and a daughter, both still well
in their teens. Mrs. Keefer takes
sharp exception to the term Of debu-
tante applied to her daughter.
u don't have such things in my
family" she said, and never intend
to, for I like the dishpans better than
the drawing room. In other words,
am a Socialist"

The Keefer marital relations again
are in statue quo following the SEN
sational turn of affairs Saturday aft
ernoon, when David H. Keefer was
placed under $500 peace bond on
charges preferred in Justice Girar-
deau's court by Mrs. Keefer The
matter for the time being, at least,
probably will end here, as neither Mr.
Keefer nor Mrs. Keefer has indicated
that the controversy viii be renewed.
Mr.. Keefer made bond Saturday
afternoon only after some difficulty
in fact, not until the bond had been
reduced from $1,000 to $500 Mrs
Keefer made no objection to the cut,
however. and every member of the
family, including Jack Macy, Mrs.
Keefer's son, as we'll as Eleanor Macy,
her daughter, left the stuffy little
court apparently well pleased with
the decision. The charge of disorder
ly conduct was docketed against Mr.
Keefer as a result of the difficulty at
the Piedmont Driving Club Friday
night, in which Keefer and young
Macy exchanged blows following a
quarrel over the ownership of an au-
tomobile.
The charge may be withdrawn by

pelier road sustained at least two frac-
tured ribs in his right side this noon,
when he started to stop his horses from
running away at North Barre. Both
horses were muzzled with heavy feed

showed signs of a hurried departure.
Mr. Hayden, who was standing near by,
was about to get his dinner pail out of
the wagon, when the animals began to
move He ran to the head of the nigh
horse. but the animal in turning its
head, struck the man with the feed bag
and knocked him over. One of the heavy
wheels of the wagon passed over the
middle of Mr.. Hayden as he lay in the
road before the horses stopped.
Suffering considerable pain in his side,
Mr.. Hayden regained his feet and called
for someone to summon a physician.
DIR. w. f. Lazell was soon on the scene.
and he carried the injured man home.
This afternoon at the Hayden house it
was stated that Mr.. Hayden was suf-
fering with two fractured ribs and slight
bruises. Other ribs might have been
broken. it was said, although the physi-
clan could not at once determine the
exact extent of the injuries.

BULGAR ORGIES DESCRIBED.
Have Made of Thrace Desert in Few
Months.

London, Aug. 25-The Sublime Porte
has opened direct negotiations with the
Bulgarian delegate, M. Nochevitch, who
has remained in Constantinople since he
went there at the outbreak of the sec
ond war, to negotiate an understanding
with Turkey. 1t is understood that the
Porte remains firm with regard to Adri
anople and Kirk Kilisseh, but is pre-
pared TO make concessions in other
quarters.
Pierre Lott, the French writer, under
Constantinople date sends to the Daily
sions on visiting Adrianople and the sur
rounding districts, Lott says:
"The Bulgarians have made of Thrace
a desert surprising in abomination
everything / have been told and all that
j imagined. With what fury have these
Christian liberators worked in order to
accomplish so much destruction in few
months,"
He describes orgies and massacres and
violation and desertion in all the Tur-
kish village and asserts that Arddi-
anople itself only escaped by miracle
because the Turks arrived a day earlier
than was expected and so defeated the
Bulgarian plans for similar massacre
there.
M. Lott confirms the story of several
thousand Turkish prisoners being herded
on an island and there allowed to starve
to death by the Bplgarians, those who
survived starvation being massaered,
and protests in the strongest terms
against Europe permitting Adrianople
to be handed back to the Bulgarians. He
says to do so would be crime and ex-
presses the belief that the Russians
have been misled and that when they
know all the monstrous truth they will
realize that to take up the cause of "this
small. deeeitful and ferocious people,
this opprobrium of the great slav fam
lily, would be to soil their history with
an indelible stain"

STOPPED ON RIVERS EDGE.
Quebec Automobile Had Several Passen-
gers, Who Narrowly Escaped Injury.

A seven passenger touring car, owned
by A. w Fleck, a wealthy resident OF
Ottawa, Can, and having as passengers,
besides Mr.. Fleck, his wife and two Ia
dies, went over an enbankment near
the Consolidated company's property on
River street in Montpelier Saturday and
stopped within two feet of the brink
of the river.
The party were on their way home
and in turning sharp curve the steer
ing gear became broken, the rod on the
right hand side Of the ear projecting
into the front wheel, breaking two
spokes and then becoming wedged in
such way that it was impossible to
stop the car or change the position of
the wheels. While the chauffeur was
frantically trying to gain control of the
car it pitched over the embankmeut,
threatening the lives of the whole party,
and just before it ssas to slide into the
water he was able to throw on the emer-
gency brake, stopping the big car.
The passengers were taken to the Pa
vilion hotel by auto and when the dam
aged machine was looked over it was
found that one wheel was completely de-
molished. This necessitated the sending
to London for a duplicate. as the car
was of English manufacture and so
heavy ii required four horses to haul
it to garage. The party left yester-
day for Ottawa by train and the dam
aged car was started for that place by
freight this morning.

DEATH WAS CAUSED
BY ARSENIC POISON
William ]. Clifford Died Saturday Aft
ernoon Few Hours After He Took
the Poison-The Funeral to
Be Tuesday.

William j. Clifford. who has been en-
ployed for several years as caretaker
at Hope Cemetery, died at the home of
his brother, John w. Clifford, on the
East Montpelier road Saturday after
noon from the effects Of rat poison
which he took the night before with
suicidal intent, it is believed. DIR. Y. e.
Goodrich who was called as soon as the
mans condition was discovered in the
early morning, exhausted every known
means to counteract the effects OF the
arsenic which existed in the rat poison
in large quantities it is thought. Death
occurred shortly after noon.
Under Superintendent Alexander Han
ton OF the city cemeteries, Clifford had
been employed at the Hope burial ground
for five years. Previously he had been
engaged around the cemetery at inter-
walls for several years back. The man
never married and he lived at his BROTH
er's home. He was never given to mel
ancholy, although of sober mood At
the cemetery he had done the work as
signed to him with little comment, but
with a measure of faithfulness that
could not brook criticism The alleged
the past few years are said to have been
entirely unexpected and quite as un-
explainable by intimate friends and
members of the family.
Clifford is believed to have taken the
poison before retiring Friday night.
Sometime in the early hours of Satur-
day morning, the family heard him NOV
ing about in his room. II was nearly
dawn when his true condition was dis
covered. He was found on the floor, it
is said, and blood was running from a
flesh wound on the head II appeared as
though he had struck the edge Of
table as he fell. A physician was called
and prompt attempt was made to
overcome the effects OF the poison. In
one of his rational moments, Clifford
is said TO have admitted taking the pois-
on. He did not eyince any interest in
the physicians efforts to save his life
and a few hours before death came he
lapsed into a coma.
The means by which Clifford sought
to end it all was found lying by the bed
in bis room in the shape Of small bot
tie labeled poison. Evidently he had in
tended to make sure OF death, for much
Df its contents had been removed. The
physician who examined the liquid
thought it must have contained dead
y percentage OF laudanum and arsenic
Besides his brother, with whom he re-
sidel, Clifford leaves three sisters, Mrs
Warren Swan of Cabot, Mrs Howard
leonard OF Calais and Mrs Bert Potter

FOREST FIRE RAGING
ON MILESTONE HILL
Has Been Burning Since Last Thursday,
But the Total Damage Done Has
Not Been Large.

A call was ISSUED this forenoon III
Barre Town for volunteer fire fighters
to check the progress of a forest fire
that has been raging on Milestone hill
since last Thursday and which assumed
such alarming proportions as to threaten
buildings. The fire has swept over one
side of the hill, burning timber belong
ing to the Milestone Quarry Co., the San
guinetti quarries and the Barre Granite
& Quarry Co., and threatens Wetmore \
Morse and +. l.. Smith & Co. property.
Yesterday the fire was famed by
strong wind and it attracted attention
for miles around. Owing to the long
drouth, the woodland proved easy prey
for the flames. Ploughing up the land
and pulling the stumps appears to be
the only way of fighting the flames.
Fortunately the Toss thus far has not
been great, for the timber is small
The owners of property in that vicin-
ity have appealed to the authorities of
Barre Town for means to fight the fur
ther progress of the fire.
