AGED MAN KILLED
MSELF " HEN
HOUSE BURNED
Milo Cardwell. 81, Shot Him
self Through Head
RESPONDENT OVER HIS LOSS
Would Have Burned to Death Had
Not Neighbor Broken Into
Blazing Dwelling

North Adams, Oct. 9.-Milo Card
WELL an old resident OF Williams
town, shot himself in the head soon
after his house and barn on the
North Hoosac road had been destroy
ed by fire early yesterday morning,
and was found dead in the little or
chard just back of the smoking ru-
ms of his home. He had been taken
from the burning house by Ernest
Wright hardly an hour before. Mr..
Cardwell had grieved over the death
OF his wife year ago, and the loss
of his home threw him into a state
Of dependency which, 1t is thought,
drove him to take his life.
The fire started soon after 2
O'Clock yesterday morning and was
first discovered by some neighbors,
who saw the flames leaping from the
barn to the house. One of the first
to reach the scene was Ernest
Wright, who at once thought of the
safety of Mr.. Cardwell. who was 80
years of age and feeble. He rushed
to the house and sought to arouse
Mr.. Cardwell by shouting. When this
failed he broke open the front door
and rushed inside. An inside door
was found locked and when this was
broken it crashed back against the
old man, who was standing close to
1t. The rescuer was starteled at find
ing the old man there, but lost no
time in Selling him and dragging
him from the house. He was CON.
pletely dressed and even had ON an
oyercoat and hat, as though he had
Just returned.
Once out of the house, Mr.. Card
well was deeply disturbed over the
loss of his house and mourned the
fact that he was without a home. He
was taken to nearby house, where
cut on his forehead, caused by the
door striking him, was dressed. He
then left for the fire and was last
seen nea- the house. Some two hours
later II was noticed that he was miss
ing. A search was begun for him, IL
being feared that the shock had over
come him.
Shortly after daylight he was
found lying beneath an apple tree a
short distance back of the barn. He
had fired a 32-caliber bullet from a
cheap pistol into his right temple
Death was undoubtedly instantane
Gus. Besides him was his hat, with his
watch. handkerchief, tobacco, mat
ches and purse with a small sun
of money.
Mr. Cardwell had lived in Williams
/ town half a century. occupying the
little house which was burned yes
terday all of that time. His wife died
little more than a year ago anc
since that time he had continual,
mourned her loss. The house was :
one-and-a-half story structure value
ed at $1,000 and the barn was small
valued at 5000. Both were covere.
by insurance. The cause of the fire
is not/known.

BIG TIMBER LAND
DEAL IN TO WIN
OF WOODFORD
thousand Acre Tract Sold BY
w. A. Wall
LOCATED IN HE'LL HOLLOW
Purchaser Is Webster Lumber Com
pany of Springfield, Which Will
Operate on Large Scale

section OF timber land, approx
mately 1000 acres in extent and To-
Gated in the valley known as He'll
Hollow. in the town of Woodford, has
lage to the Webster Lumber com
pany of Springfield. Mass. The deal
is one of the largest of its kind con-
summated in this section in some
time
The previous owners of the proper
ty were Mark Harbour and the late
John Harbour and the land was pur-
chased by Mr. Wall some time after
the death of John Harbour who was
accidentally shot while deer hunting
10 years ago. Little, if any, timber
has been cut from the section since
the death of John Harbour and the
increase in growth has been consid-
cradle. The rapid increase in the
price of lumber and timber land dur
ing recent years has enabled Mr.. VII
all to dispose of the property at q
price several times that which he
paid for it.
The Webster Lumber company
does not expect to operate on the
tract during the coming winter. The
company is negotiating for other
property in the same section and in
the spring it viii start the prelimi-
nary work for big operations in the
winter of 1914-15.

lowed with bounder over Bakers
head, scoring Mathewson and Herzog
and the Giants had two more runs
than were needed, as it ultimately
proved, to win the game.
Aside from the brilliancy of Ma
thewson, the two teams were evenly
matched. Plank was not quite as
steady as his rival in the box, giving
two bases ON balls and hitting one
batter to Mathewson's solitary pass.
The Giants secured seven hits off
Plank to the Athletics eight off Ma
thewson who struck OUT five batters
to Plank's six.
New York had eight left on bases
to Philadelphia's TO- Fletcher, Nc
Lean and Mathewson secured two
hits each, total of six out of the
seven recorded by the Giants.
Baker was the only Athletic play
er to get TO Mathewson for more
than one hit, the home run batsman
being credited with two.

The Tariff and the Wooden Industry

While President Wood has express
ed the opinion that eventually, after
adjustment to the conditions created
by the new tariff law. the American
Wooden Company will be able to com
pete successfully with similar manu-
facturers abroad, il is evident that
many men engaged In the wooden in
dustry fear the effect of the Under
wood bill. One reads in the news
columns of the New York Journal of
Commerce. a paper that has express
ed hearty approval of the democratic
scheme of tariff revision. that
"shTewd observers expect to see a
number OF wooden and wo.sted mills
shut down before the Underwood
Simmons tariff bill has been in OPP
GRAFTON II months" The Journal OF
Commerce mentions mills which
have either already closed OF con-
template doing so in the near fu-
ture." and il says: THE reason
given for the closing of the two mills
named is an unsatisfactory demand.
but the keen competition that is an.
ticipated from Great Britain. Ger.
many. Austria. France and Belgium
is expected to make Il impossible for
number Of weaker mills TO remain
in business There is no doubt that
foreign competitor will be very keen
The only thing FOR American mann
facturers to do is to make every eI
fort to meet this competition.-Rut

DAY OF AToNEMENT
Great Day To Be Observed BY the
Jews Saturday.

With the ancient formula, "Kol
Nldre," chant sung to the melody
said to have been improvised in the
dungeons at the time of the Spanish
inquisition, when the Jews were fore
ed to conduct their services in
caves, cellars, and other hidden
places, Yom Kippur, the day of
tenement, will begin at sunset TO-
morrow in the synagogues of the
entire world and with the exception
of the hours of the night the servic-
es will continue uninterruptedly until
sunset Saturday. which marks the
close of the holy period which began
New Years eve, Oct /. With few ex-
ceptions the Jewish people orthodox
or reformed, will lay aside their
work during this day.
In the orthodox synagogues the
Yom Kippur services will begin at
5 O'Clock Friday afternoon. They
will be resumed at sunrise Saturday
morning and continue until sunset
that day. In the local temple which
is in the Canadian club rooms the
services will begin at s o'clock Fri
day night. They will begin Satur-
day morning again at 10 o'clock,
continue until noon and then be re-
sumed in the afternoon. Here the
services are modernized to some ex-
tent but lack some of the pictures
que settings of orthodox synagogues.
Prayer. fasting and charity repre-
sent the keynote of the day For "a

According to the traditional be-

ed another human being cannot ex-
pect the forgiveness of the -Diety un-

obligations between man and man
and one in which the old adage. ito

Many pious Jews do not leave

KILLED A YEeeMAN
Postmaster at Stiliwter Fights Gang
of Thieves.

Troy, Oct. 7.-Yeggmen bungled
at the work of blowing the Still
water postoffice safe early today by
not deadening the sound, and Post
master Frank Stumpf, awakened
from sound sleep, was able to shoot
one Of the three yeggs as he worked
at the inner doors. The fire was re-
turned by the companions OF the
man at work, and the Postmaster, al
though in danger OF his own life, ex-
changed dozen shots with the fee
ing burglars. The noise awakened
the town, and fifteen minutes after
the explosion, scores OF villagers
were at the scene. Nothing Of value
had been obtained.
The dead 'yegg" was found lying
on the floor directly in front of the
safe and with his face turned to the
doors. The bullet from the heavy
Springfield rifle in the hands of the
postmaster had entered the head
back of the left ear and had come
out OF the right eye, and portions of
the brain were on the floor. Death
must have been instantaneous.
The night OF April 80, 1911, the
Saltwater Postoffice was robbed. but
only a small amount of money and
stamps was secured. However, the
store of John Hamilton in the build.
ing was relieved of several hundred
dollars in jewelry, etc. Bearing
these facts in mind, Postmaster
Stumpf had changed the location of
the safe and had prepared to defend
the Office if the trick should ever
be repeated. He had placed the
safe in front of window, so that 1t
could be seen from his own home
less than 100 feet distant.
The postmaster seized his Spring-
held rifle and shot gun. He saw
the yegg standing in front OF the
postoffice. but he dared not shoot.
because he feared it might be a fell
low-townsman. A little light, how
ever. fiared in the postoffice and the
postmaster fired at the window in
iroat OF the safe. The flash from
his rife had barely died when a bull.
let from a heavy calibre revolver
whizzed past his head, lodging in the
mouse. The postmaster took his
-ONoN', AN"NSu with UuChSHOI, and
returned the fire. The fusillade was
Kept up for several moments until
the robbers fed.
The dead man was well dressed
and wore sort gray Stetson hat
A notebook in pocket contained
only figures. There was a card Of
Roth a. Co., of New York. Five dol.
lars in one-dollar bills composed his
roll" A diamond pin in his tie
was worth perhaps $50. He had a
large hirty-eight-calibre revolver
en- his person, and this leads to the
belief that his companions were
similarly armed.
The safe. which is equipped with
outer and inner doors, is almost a
wreck. though the inner doors we're
intact. The outer doors were blown
OIL, and it was the noise OF this ex.
plosion that awakened Saltwater.
The hole for the nitro-glycerine had
been drilled in the inner doors. but
the charge had not been exploded
The postoffice Is located near the
heart OF the village at Main and
Lake streets.
