lodged in the kidney. Bedford has
been too weak to allow of an opera
ton for the removal Of the bullet.
Therein lies the danger. The bullet
in the kidney may cripple BelfOrd for
life.
The Tribune this morning publish
ed hystericaI story in which it de-
clared that it is the gamblers who
are prosecuting AnnenbeTg.
The Day Book has seen no evil
dence of this being so; indeed The
Day Book never has heard of any
of the big gamblers of the city who
suffered from any fear of the Trib-
une or had any idea that the LTrib-
une might attack them; only the lit
tie gamblers who have no friends
fear the Tribune.
However, the Tribune might be
correct in saying that the gamblers
are responsible for the Indictment of
Annenberg, and if this be so, the
community owes at least one deep
debt of gratitude to the gamblers.
Another of the TribUne's hystericaI
statements this morning is that wit
nesses of the shooting whose state
ments favored the Tribune's repre-
sentatives and did not favor the gam
blers, were of course not called (be-
fore the grand jury by Hoyne."
The Day Book made a thorough
search for witnesses of the shooting
the day the shooting occurred. It
found at least a dozen persons who
were near enough to see how the
shooting occurred. Not one of them
told story that favored the Trib-
une's representatives"
Either the Tribune or Annenberg,
however, retained Tom Mcclure,
head of the Mcclure & White Detec-
tive Agency, Immediately after the
shooting to obtain witnesses favor
able to the defense"
Mcclure has chosen to keep a dark

It is hard to see just what gam.
blers have to do with the shooting
of BelfOrds by Annenberg.
The shooting followed a Tribune
night raid, the alleged purpose Of
which was to get a gambling picture
to use with gambling story.
But the shooting of Bedford by An
nenberg did not occur during the
raid on Larnan's pool hall by the
Tribune; it occurred after that raid
was over, and BeIford did not come
out of Larman's pool hall and is not
a professional or regular gambler.
The Tribune is using talk about
gamblers as a red herring to make
more difficult its gUnman's trail.
Also, if the Tribune found Lar
mans pool hall to be such a terrible
gambling dive, why has not the
Tribune published the picture it's
photographers took of Larman's pool
hall?
Is it possible that Edward S. Beck,
managing editor Of the Tribune, won
the freedom of Max Annenberg the
gUnman last Sunday by promising
Police Captain StOren not to publish
the picture it had taken of Larman's
pool hall?
One would think that after
newspapers wild raid to get a gam
bling picture had been followed by
the almost fatal shooting of man,
that that newspaper would think the
picture bought. at high enough price
to be worth using.

GIRLS THROWN INTO DITCH,
When Horse Ran Away In Burlington
Yesterday.

Burlington, June l6.--A runaway, u
which little Helen Murray, aged 10
and Mary and Ursula Dwyer aged
eight and six, respectively, narrowly es'
caped being dangerously injured, oe,
Cured yesterday afternoon, and all
three of the children were more or less
seriously hurt. A horse belonging to
Thomas Redmond was left standing for
a few minutes in the rear Of his home
by +. J. Dwyer, father of two OF the
children, and the three little girls
climbed into the buggy. The horse be-
came frightened and with the three
children dashed around the house and
out on North Champlain street. At
tie corner of Pearl street the animal
turned suddenly and went up Pearl
street toward his stable, throwing all
three girls into the gutter.
The little Murray girl is probably
the most seriously injured and was un-
conscious when carried into the house
of her parents Dr. aud Mrs. +. +. Muir
ray. She was in such nervous con-
dition last evening that her exact in
juries could not be discovered but she
seems to be suffering from perhaps a
broken arm and other injuries. Ursu-
Ia Dwyer is apparently the least in
jured as she is suffering only from the
shock, but her slightly older sister re-
ceiyed a severe confusion in the back

GAVE WOMAN A FRIGHT.
Man Got Into House and Was Rummag-
ing About When Seen.

Patrick Malloy, a man supposed to
have come from St. Albans. in some way
entered the home of 0verseer of the
Poor w. c. Lamphere in Montpelier some
time after midnight Saturday night,
while in an alleged intoxicated condition,
and badly frightened Mrs. NJ. J. Dooley,
who resides there and who was sitting
up waiting for her husband to return
from the car barn. She saw the man
rlmmaging about the hallway, and her
scream brought Mr.. Lsmphere 10 the
scene. The man was hiding behind por-
there's when Mr.. Lamphere arrived, and
after a tussle he was ordered from the
premises and the police were summoned.
They found him hatless near the Wells
River station and locked him up on
charge of intoxication.
IL is not believed robbery was the
motive of the mans entrance TO the
house. owing TO his alleged condition. and
il Is supposed he wandered in by mis-
take, though Il was supposed the house
was securely fastened for the night.
II was Malloy who. about two years
ago. cleared everybody out Of Farrar's
restaurant. when several men were called
to help the officers in arresting him.

Angelo ~acio, Brick Ma
sor - :, Electrocuted on
S Granite Street.
HE CAME IN CONTACT
WITH OPEN WIRE
Use of Pulmotor Failed to
Restore the Victim, Death
Probably instantaneous

fatal step by Angelo Loeacio of 10
Foster street, stone mason, while en-
gagged on brick work at the Granite
street sub-station of the Consolidated
Lighting Co. shortly after 80 o'clock
this afternoon caused him to fall on a
wire carrying current of $4,000 volt
age, causing death instantaneously.
The electrocuted man was removed
and placed in one Of the working rooms
OF the building while employees of the
Consolidated company immediately tele.
phoned to the eompany's head offices in
the Aldrich building with call for the
newly received pulmotor. Clerks of the
offices hurried to the scene with the pul.
motor and with the aid of physicians
worked over the body of the man for
nearly twenty minutes when it was de-
cided that efforts TO restore life with
the apparatus would be futile.
The electric current transmitting this
great voltage burnt hole into the
right side of Locacio's body and bad
ly burned the inside of his left leg 1t
is believed by the attending physicians
and the employees that his death was in
Simultaneous.
Locacio was engaged in cementing a
brick aperture in the transformer room
at a height of about twenty five feet
above the ground floor. There was no
one within sight of the man. but it is
thought that he was standing on a small
steel projection with his body extend
ing towards the patch he was cement
ing and he missed his footing and fell
onto the uninsulated wire.
His cries for assistance were heard
by Guy l.. Norris, meter tester, who
Immediately turned out the current and
ran aloft with assistance Aided by
George Morehouse, a carpenter, who was
employed on the building, Norris re-
leased Locacio from the wire and car
ried him below. Norris straightway sum-
moned physicians and Drs. P. S. Duffy
and William Mcfarland were those first
to respond. Attaches to the main Offices
were soon on the scene with pulmotor
and the work of the physicians and
Norris was untiring until il was GER
tain that it was beyond human power
to restore respiration. Locacio was
man about thirty four years old and
leaves, besides his wife, four children.

HORSES GET SPEED MANIA.
Do Fast Runs in Different Parts of the
City,

Elmer NJ. Folsom of Railroad street,
who drives delivery team for the Barre
Steam laundry, came down stairs from
the home of one of his Summer street
customers Saturday evening just in time
to see his horse rounding the corner of
Elm street at a merry clip. A few mo-
ments before he had left the animal
peacefully grazing by the roadside as he
toted a washing into the house. The
same glimpse that caught the disappear
ing horse also included feeting glance
at an automobile which Mr.. Folsom says
had frightened his horse into running
away. The motor party was departing
from the scene with all speed, it is said,
and Mr.. Folsom did not have time to
learn the owners name, He is sure that
the automobile driver did not come back
to see how much damage had been done.
The laundry horse was brought to
standstill a few blocks up Elm street.
Neither the cart nor the horse was much
the worse for the incident.
Late Saturday afternoon one of East
man Bros delivery horses started from
John street in the absence of its driver,
Ben Gilley. and came down Blackwell
street hill at a killing pace. People
along the street thought the beast must
collide with post or tree but it
steered clear course TO the bridge, aft
erwards an easy turn at the corner of
North Main street, and slackened its
speed only when the store was reached.
Mr.. Gilley caught up with his horse
some time later in the afternoon. John
street residents say dog started the
animal on its fight.

TWO BURLINGTON BOYS
INJURED BY AUTO
Their Team Struck by Machine in Dark
ness and Occupants Narrowly Es-
capped Death.

Burlington. June 16.--As the result
OF the dust aud OF the failure OF one
Of the street lights to burn, Lyman
prim and Dwight Warner were seriously
injured and narrowly escaped being
killed Saturday night on North avenue.
The boys were driving home toward
Malletts Bay about 1890 o'clock and
had reached place about 100 yards
solth Of the Barker place when the
accident occurred. An electric car had
Just passed and they were driving
slowly along when an automobile IN
charge OF Louis Alpert ran full force in
70 them. The machine was going in the
same direction but Alpert was unable
to see ahead OF him on account OF the
dust which was the result OF the un-
sprinkled road. Directly overhead was
light and had this been in operation
il would have served to warn Alpert of
what was in front of him. But, as
is frequently the case about the city,
the light was not burning.
The buggy was smashed into kindling
wood and both boys were thrown a
considerable distance into the air. Prim
iaitded near the fence on the opposite
side OF the road and, besides being bad
~ bruised. sustained a broken arm.
Warner kept hold of the reins and was
dragged by the frightened horse so that
one shoe was entirely worn off: He was
also badly bruised and the extent Of his
injuries is not yet known. Passengers
from the electric ear alighted and the
injured boys were carried into the home
OF Charles Barker, where a physician
attended them 1t was deemed best to
send Prim to the Mary Fletcher hos
pital. Warner was taken to his home.
The buggy is the property of Warner
and il considered total loss. The horse
was uninjured, although the spectators
saw that he was raised into the air at
the time of the impact. This accident
took place only short distance from
the scene of another accident few
years ago in which Robert Clark was
killed.

SUES TRUSTEE OF FUND.
Emma Beach Hazelton Says Her Grand
father Left $4,000.

Burlington, June l6.-The chancery
suit of Emma Beach Hazeton vs. Elihu
b. Taft, trustee of trust fund under
the will of the late Socrates Beach. was
filed in county court Saturday. Under
the terms of the will, Socrates Beach,
who died Nov. l5, 1904 left as trust
fund, his estate in this city, until the
death of his son, Joseph T. Beach. The
estate is then to be divided equally
among the grandchildren, but provides
that meantime the trustee shall pay to
the grandchildren such sums as in his
judgment are warranted. Mrs. Beach,
grandchild, asks the court to direct
the trustee to pay her such sums as in
her present financial condition seem war
ranted and alleges that the trustee has
in his possession real and personal estate
to the value of $4,000. The oratrix also
asks for an accounting of the estate.
One of the provisions of the trust is
that should Emma Beach, the oratrix,
marry, she should receive $500. This
sum has been paid by the trustee.

The chief credit for the victory belongs
to Clint Merlo of the Nationals.
Another event of the afternoon that
lent much interest was the annual base
ball contest between the Nationals and
The Americans, selected groups OF ball
nlavers. The contest was declared off
after eleven innings of the most siren
uous and nerve racking kind, neeSer
having been able to make more than six
rGns. Effective pitching by p Merlo
resulted in the Nationals being able to
hold the Americans, who were reputed
to be strong. Joe" Stumpf assisted
Merlo in the box and the duties of
hackstopping fell to Eddie Anderson.
Joseph Giampolini started the game on
the mound for the Americans and was
forced to retire early in the game. DIR.
@. 4. Barr succeeded him and twirled
ball.
To conclude the afternoons outing. a
two-mile run was staged. As great
elaborate preparations had been made
fer this event a great deal of interest
vas centered in its outcome. The race
was won BY Duncan Mcmillan in eX-
ceptionally fast time. Mr.. Mcmillan
showed true form and never tagged
minute during the course around the
oval. Others that participated in the
race were r. Anderson, ID. Merlo, and
John Frontini.

HORSE OBJECTED TO AUTO.
Yanked Driver Out of Seat and Dragged
Him Some Distance.

Two men who said they lived in
Nebsterville took an engaging part in
runaway Saturday night that threat
ened at one time to have a serious out
come. According to the story OF an
eve witness, the men were proceeding
along. Highland avenue from Academy
street and it was after the horse got
halfway down the avenue that he took
a sudden fit of fright at an automobile
near the curhing in front of the residence
OF Rev. w. J. NJ Beattie. The horse
gave such an unexpected start that the
driver was thrown from his seat TO the
street, although he managed to retain
his grasp on the reins Still the horse
persisted in being on the move. The man
clung to the reins for distance of
FIVE rods, so bystanders say, before he
gave up the struggle and let the animal
have its way.
In the dragging process, the first oe-
cupant to leave the carriage was severely
bruised about the face and on the ad-
vice OF several who came TO his assist
ance he walked over to DR.. V. G. Good
ricn's office on Washington street not
far away.
DR.. Goodrich dressed a long but rath
er superficial wound on the left side
OF The face and told his patient to go
home and be cautious. Meanwhile A.
h. Lane started in pursuit of the err
rant horse and the other occupant, who
was supposed 10 be helplessly clinging
10 the seat, since the reins were dang
ling on the ground when the rig was
last seen disappearing up Washington
street. As it transpired. however, the
remaining principal in the team had
the reins and soon had the
horse turned around and headed for the
scene OF the mishap. The injured man
WAS assisted to the carriage afterwards
AMI the two started for Websterville.

attended memorial service in the
morning in the garrison church at Pots

to keep the crowds of people and vehi-

has been brilliantly decorated, was so
crowded throughout Sunday that ingress
from the Brandenburg gate and from
die Schloss had to be prohibited The
street was filled with mass of human
itv in which it was difficult to make
any progress, while street ears, 'buss-
es and other public eonveyances were
jammed together. Probably never be-
fore were there SO many visitors in
Berlin.
