HENRY L. PATcHIN DEAD
Found Dead Sunday Afternoon at His
Home In Old Bennington.

Henry l.. Patchin. a life long resi-
dent of Old Bennington, was found
dead Sunday afternoon at his home
on Monument avenue. Death was
undoubtedly due to epilepsy from
which he had been a sufferer for a
number OF years.
Mr.. Patchin had lived alone for
some time. At different periods
there had been a housekeeper at the
home, but lately he had prepared his
own meals and cared for the house
without much assistance. II had
been his custom, however. to take
dinner at the home of Miss Ellen
Scott on the Scott farm on Sunday
and it was because of a breaking of
this routine that his death became
known.
Sunday afternoon John Scott of
this village went TO Old Bennington
to visit his sister and upon his arrival
at the farm he learned of Mr..
Patchin's failure to be present at the
dinner hour. A close friendship had
existed for many years between Miss
Scott and the Patchin family and
Sunday was the second in three years
on which the unfortunate man had
not visited AT the farm.
At his sisters request Mr.. Scott
called at the Patchin home on his re-
turn Journey to this village. The
door was unlocked and there was
nothing unusual in the appearance of
the interior of the house. When Mr..
Scott entered the kitchen he found
MIR. Patchin lying face downward up
on the floor. The body was cold
showing that death had occurred at
least some hours previous and an in
vestigation gave the impression that
Mr.. Patchin must have died some
time Saturday evening.
Mr. Scott Immediately went to the
Walloomsac Inn and returned with
the proprietor, Walter II. Berry. Mr.
Berry summoned DR.. w. +. Putnam
on the telephone and also informed
the authorities. The case was inves-
tigated by First Selectman r. NJ
Crawford anu States Attorney W. J.
Meagher. assisted by Drs. Putnam
and Cole. but as there was no indica
tons that the death was due to other
than natural causes no official action
was taken.
Mr.. Patchin was the son Of Henry
Patchin. one Of the leading citizens
of Old Bennington, and had passed
his entire life in that village. He
was the last survivor. A sister
Mrs. Henry T. Shaw. died in Glen
shaw. Pa. about a year ago.
The remains we're taken to the
Walbridge undertaking rooms. bu
the arrangements for the funeral vii
not be completed until after wort
has been received from his brother
in-law in Pennsylvania

call upon the state to reinforce him

The trouble with the Utes started
a few days ago, when Joseph Stiche,
a Mexican sheep herder, refused TO
allow two Indian hunters to go near
his herd. The herder, according TO
his story, was attacked by the Utes.
He was shot and seriously wounded,
after he had killed one of his as
sailants. The other Ute returned
with the body of his companion to
the Ute reservation, while Stichel
was taken to Cortez.
The death of the Indian aroused
the Utes and band was reported to
have started for Cortez, determined
to demand the blood OF the herder.
Meanwhile the sheriff gathered a
posse and started for the reserva-
ton to arrest Big Rabbit, the sur
vivor of the two who attacked the
Mexican. The Utes fled with Big
Rabbit for the mountains determined
to defend him. There has been con-
siderable local friction over Ute In
dian parties killing game out of sea-

Studying Up on Washington and the
New Buildings There.

Princeton, n. j., Jan. 19.-Presi-
dent elect Wilson disclosed today
that he had obtained a guide book
OF Washington and was reading il
assiduously in his spare moments.
Mr.. Wilson will be practically a
stranger in Washington when he
takes Office He has visited there
little since his youth. He has never
seen some of the Government build
ings erected within the last fifteen
years. When he steps into the White
House in March. it will be the first
time he will have seen the interior of
the Executive Mansion.
The Governor is familiarizing him
self with the location of the various
buildings and, though he is expecting
little leisure, il is likely that his late
afternoon walks will be sightseeing
trips.
The Springlike weather brought a
procession of friends to call at the
Wilson home today. The Governor,
Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Toy, wife OF
Prof Toy of Harvard went walking
during the afternoon.

Writes Novel on Crime-Prisoner
 Needs Money and May Have Book
 New York, July 2S.-Not in the least disturbed because the United States government has ordered him extra dited to Italy, there to stand trial for the murder of his wife, Mary Scott Castle Charlton, at Lake Como, in June, 1910, and, knowing he will be sent from this country within week or 10 days, Porter Charlton stood in the jail in Hudson county, New Jersey, and said to friend: Don't you wor ry. I'll make an engagement with you now to have dinner with me next Christmas at Churchills'."
 So confident is Charlton that the courts of Italy will set him free that he has managed to buoy up the spirits of his father, former Judge Paul Charl- ton, and his stepmother. These two have been staying for the last 10 days at Lillienthal's hotel, opposite the jail, and spend hours daily with the pris- oner.
 It has just become known that Charlton had written a novel dealing with crime in New York. In his three years in Hudson county jail he has made friends with many other prison CTS. He wss very fond of "Old" Burke, an East Side character con- victed of burglary. Burke told Charl- ton all he knew or the underworld and the two outlined the book, Charlton doing the writing.
 The novel is in Charlton's trunk. Whether he will take it to Italy or try to sell it to a publisher is not known. Charlton needs money. It is said all his fathers cash was spent in the eff forts to save the young man from extradi,ion. So, if flair price, is of fered for the book, it will be accepted, 1t is believed

SHOCK FROM CURRENT DID NOT KILL MEN IN LODGE lNlTlA-
 TON, SAY DOCTORS.
BRANDING IS RESPONSIBLE
Hot Iron Prepared in Candidates. Sight, but Rubber Stamp Was Used
 on Chest-May Punish Lodge.

Birmingham, Ala, July 2S.-Ffve Birmingham physicians designated by the coroner to hold a post-mortem eX- animation over Donald A. Kennedy and Christopher Gustin, who died while under initiation into the Loyal Order of Moose, in a report to the cor oner stated that the dead men were suffering from no organic trouble.
 City Electrician Abernathy, who ex- amined the magneto that was used to produce the shock, reported that a normal man could hold the magneto for five hours without any ill effects. This report coupled with the opinion of five of the most reputable phy- sicians in the city, led to the theory that deaths of the men were caused by mental suggestion or by psycho- logical condition
 Although the coroner has reported that the cause of death is unknown he will hold an inquest and continue the investiga
 Twenty-eight other candidates were initiated at the same time as Kennedy and Gustin without experiencing any i'll effects. The particular test to which the men were being subjected is known as the branding iron.
 The candidates are told that they must be branded on the chest with the emblem of the order of Moose For this candidates are placed on a tilt ing board, and while they are beirg placed on the board, one member of the degree team places a band of metal around his ankle connected to a small megneto. The candidate is not blindfolded and can see all the preparations being made to brand him.
 Rubber Stamp Is Used.
 First branding iron is heated from blow torch, and when it is red hot the person holding the torch advances on the candidate as if to brand him with it, but instead another fellow whom the candidate does not see, stamps him with a rubber stamp Cn the chest, and at the same time an other places a piece of metal on the candidates bare shoulder, which com pletes the circuit with the magneto, and the candidate is given a light shock which is supposed to give him the impression that he has been branded by the red hot iron.
 Kennedy was the first man to show signs of illness after receiving this initiation. He left the tilting board extremely pale and three members of the team assisted him to a seat. He smiled and said that he was feeling ill. These were his last words he col lapsed in few minutes and died with out being revived.
 In the meantime three or four can didates had taken the degree. among whom was Gustin. While physician who was present was working over
