SandersC Comments ont Circum-
tances Connected with
Two Big Fires
ATTENTION CALLED
TO CONDOLENCES
Feeling That Fire Fiend May Have
Been at Work-AlI Hose Is Wet,
and More Probably Will Be Ordered

The aftermath of the two fires that
did nearly 100000 damage in Brattle
boro Tuesday night and Wednesday
morning finds steadily increasing
suspicion that both may have been
started by the hand of a fire fiend 1t
Is pointed out that conditions that OBJ
tanned make it easily possible. Some
condolences are being cited as pos
sib1e causes.
Fire Chief Harvey Sanders still
maintains that the second fire was set
When asked this morning what his
opinion was as to the origin of the
first one, he hesitated and replied:
q don't know, any more than
actually know the second was set.
But according to Mr.. Mosher and his
stable employees if the fire started in
the rear of his carriage house it was
set, for no one had reason to be in
there and there was absolutely moth
ing IN there to cause a fire from spon-
taneous combustion
There is a difference of opinion
among some of those who were first
on the scene as to whether the fire
started ia the rear of the carriage
house Of Mosher & Tucker or in the
rear of the Valley Grain Co. build
ing.
Men who helped draw out two OF
the coaches owned BY Mosher@& Tuck
er declare that they were able to &C
clear to the rear of the building t.
get them and that the fire was in tbs
| rear of the Valley Grain Co s build
ing and spread from that to Moshel
| & Tucker s building
The Valley Grain people declare tha'

Especial to The Reformer.(
ANDONER, Vt, Nov.


\ double murder Was committed in 81
monsville a village in this town, yesterday
afternoon, Mr. and Mrs Henry F. Wig
gins being shot down in cold blood. and
suspicion points to "a son-in-law of the vic
TINS, George Edward Warner, black
smith. who has disappeared and who it is
thought may have committed suicide.
Divorce proceedings were begun by War
ner's wife recently on the ground OF
abuse, and as the action was started, it is
understood, at the instigation of Mr..
and Mrs. Wiggins, the townspeople and
officers believe that the murders were
committed through revenge No other
possible motive has been suggested.
The frantic ringing of telephone on
the farmers line which runs through the
hamlet of Simonsville aroused the curiosity
of subscribers on the line with the result
that the double murder was brought to
light, the bodies OF Mr. and Mrs Wiggin
being found IN the barn and woodshed
adjoining their home early last evening
The bodies were left where they We're
discovered until States Attorney Raymond
Trainor of White River junction and Dr.
G. T. Dalton and DR. b. H. Stone of the
state laboratory in Burlington could come
to this town to investigate the affair aud
to hold autopsies.
1t is claimed that sometime yesterday
morning Warner called upon his wife, who
/ Z 4l.a ,,.,.,. ,,,,g4,. - S.;,.1..,,.,-; "a
abused her BY pounding her Mrs War
ner, it IS said, notified her father of tia,
abuse of her husband, and Mr.. Virgins
who lived about three-quarters of a mile
from Simonsville, went to talk the matter
over with his daughter He left Simons
vile about :; o'clock in the afternoon fol
his home and about Is o'clock last evenin,
another son-ln-law of the dead couple
Ramsdell Amsden, heard the telephon,
ringing the call of the Wiggins home A
no reply was made to the call he listened
and became suspicious that something wa
wrong.
Neighbors Find Bodies.
He went to the home of his father-in
law. but could lind no signs Of the family
Becoming alarmer he notified neiehhor
and after search of an houl the body O
Mrs Virgins was found secreted IN th
EwoodShed The woman evidently had bee
dead some time She had been shot twic
through the head The body of her hu.
band was found about three hours late
hidden under straw in stall in the barr
Suspicion immediately pointed to Nal
ner and search was instituted but ut
late homr last night no trace of the ma
could be found. Noodchoppers claim tha
they heard shots about q o'clock, whic
led to the belief that Warner had kilie
himself
When AR Ams,len entered the house h
! found that a window had been broken b
two bullets, evidently fired from outsid
the house. The assumption is that Wa
ner knew Of his father-ill-laws visit I
Mrs. Warner and that the man then b.

Speculation in London.

LONDON, Nov. >, 1.20 y. m.-Although
England continued today to await with
some uneasiness official news as to the fate
OF certain OF her warships in the Pacific
which were engaged Sunday with Ger
man fleet off the coast of Chile, this
anxiety has been in measure counter
balanced by the apparently favorable situa-
tion of the allied forces, both In eastern
and western arenas.
The first German rush FOR the French
coast having been checked, the news OF
the next few days will determine the cor
rectness or falsity OF the prediction as to
the seriousness of renewed German at
tempts to get to the coast by a more south
erly route. There was nothing IN the re-
port from West Flanders this forenoon to
Indicate the trend of the new German at
tack although Gpres continues to figure
in the dispatches as the military key
against which the Germans propose to de-
liver their hardest blows
Opinion here is divided as to whether
this fresh attempt to open a way to the
channel will rival in intensity the struggle
along the lser Some British optimists
contend that the apparent exhaustion OF
the Germans Is an Indication that they
are really planning to fall back as they
ana before Palis on the entTanchmrnts
they have been SO carefully preparing
everywhere back OF their line 1t this
does occur it viii mean another period OF
siege warfare along the entire front in Bel
GUM and France, a condition which prob
ably Will persist until one side or the other
starts off on new tangent, as did the
IGermans on their coastal attempt thus
creating some new area OF hostilities.
