 Charles Johnson, superintendent of
 the gang working for brown tail moth suppression, and MT. Herlihy of the selectmen's board made big capture
 Wednesday, when they secured 34S winter nests of the moths. Since the moths were discovered in Monson these two men have been out every day when the weather has permitted,
 and up till Wednesday had secured
 but 6S nests. Practically every sec- tion in Monson had been covered but the Silver street section. It was in the orchard of Merrill Stebbins in that section that the 349 nests were taken Wednesday. MT. Herlihy states that the trees in this orchard are practically covered with nests. Great numbers of them will be taken before the work is finished in Silver street From one tree they took 12O nests It was thought that few more days would be all that would be necessary to complete the work, but from pres ent indications many weeks work yet remain to be done.

 An unknown man was found be- side the 0. V. track, just above the quarry spur track, this morning. It | was at first thought that he had been hit by a train, but examination | showed that it was an attempt at sui eide. The man had a revolver and | there was a bullet wound in his head. l He was still living when the first | train for the north went up and he was taken to Palmer on it. The man is we'll dressed and about 40 years of Age.
 Later information shows that the man is Albert Phillips, a stationary engineer. He is well-known locally, having worked for H. D. Moulton and | others. His last position is said to have been with the Cooley house in | Springfield. The cause of his act is | a love affair with a local young | woman, in which has feelings were l not reciprocated. He died in the | baggage room at Palmer this forenoon l without making any statement. The l bullet entered his right temple and | came out behind his left ear. The revolver was found beside him in such a position that it was thought at first that his wound could not have been self-iniflcted. With all the facts ob- tainable, however, there seems but little doubt that it is a case of sui eide. The deceased was a Forester and Red Man. Undertaken Phillips has taken charge of the body and the funeral arrangements have not been perfected. The body was viewed by Medical Examiner Schneider of Pal mer. Officer Crimmins will investi gate the case on the odd chance that there might have been foul play. MT. had but one cent in his pocket.
