Sheriff's Posse
SAYS he WILL DIE FIGHTING
Edward BeardsIey of Sumr,erdalS
Charged With Probable Fatal
Shooting

Mayville,. \. Y, Jan. l4.---Edward
Beardsley, the Summerdale farmer,
who perhaps fatally shot John G. W.
Putnam, overseer Of the poor OF

where the shooting occurred and a
posse of 90 armed men Is on guard.
In the sherlff's force are half 4
dozen crack shots who are under in
structions to fire at Beardsley when
ever he shows himself.
Fear OF wounding Mrs. Beardsley
or the nine children In the house
with the desperate was the reason
for the sheriff's order combining the
shooting TO the sharpshooters.
Only three or four shots were fired
during the day, Beardsley keeping IN
der cover most OF the time.
Late this afternoon Timothy Van
else. the rural free delivery mail car
rier, and William Walker, friend of
Beardsley. walked boldly up to The
front door OF the house. Beardsley
refused to admit them. but talked to
them through broken window for a
short time. He declared THAI he
would resist arrest until he was dead
His friends urged him to surrender
for the sake of the children and
Beardsley finally promised to give
himself up tomorrow.
Mrs. Beardsley came to the win
dow and begged the men TO bring
food and lirewoud, She said there
was no fire in tbe house and that the
children were starving. The chill
dren could be heard whimpering and
crying In an adjoining room.
Van else and Walker reported
these conditions to Sheriff Anderson.
The sheriff sent two men TO the
house with food. They had orders to
rush Beardsley il they succeeded in
side
When they approached the house,
however Beardsley covered them
with a rifle and made them pass the
food through window.
The men on guard last night suf.
fered from the severe cold Tonight,
deputies built huge bonfire in a ra-
vine short distance from the house
and the men We're sent out in squads
OF five every hour to guard the house.
All were armed with rifles and had
orders from the sheriff 10 shoe, ii

FIRE ON MILL STREET
Tenement Occupied by Reuben Par
ker Badly Damaged by Water

Shortly before o'clock this morn
ing fire was discovered in the tene.
ment house on Min street occupied
by Reuben Parker, an employee In the
Holden-Leonard company mill. The
fire started in an upper room and the
cause is more or less of mystery as
the room has not been used as sleep
ing quarters recently by any member
OF the family.
With the assistance OF neighbors
and the members of the fire depart
ment much OF the. furniture was re-
moved before water was turned into
the house. The fire itself caused but
little damage, but smoke and water
combined put the interior OF the
house in pretty bad shape.
The house is n double tenemen>
owned by Mrs Mary A. Nash and the
loss on the building VIII be between
500 and $1,000. Il will be necessary
to replaster and repaper before the
tenement can again be occupied. The
other tenement sustained no damage.

SUMMER HOMES
Clayton Babcock IArrested at
Wii!iamst0Wn
STOLEN GOODS RECOVERED
Babcock Warned BY Wife When
House Was Searched Avoided
Capture >for Several Hours

Clayton Babcock was arrested un'
der sensational circumstances at his
home on Water street, Williamstown
Mass. Yesterday morning at 800
o'clock by Deputy Sheriff Joseph
Richards and Constable Thomas Dun
frey. charged with burglarizing the
summer residences Of James NJ. lde
and George A. Cluett of Troy ana
committing larceny at the home or
Mrs. Harry Leake, a prominent resi-
dent of Williamstown. He was ar
raigned before Judge Tenny yester-
day afternoon on The three charges.
The Ide case was continued general
w. decision was reserved in the
Leake case, and in the Cluett case
Babccck was held under $1,000
bond for his appearance before the
grand Jury at Pitts1eld. The latest
report was that he had not been able
to secure bail and would doubtless 80
to Jail.
TUESDAY afternoon the two officers
of the law, who had received inf2r-
nation to the effect that Babcock,
who was employed looking after the
cattle on the Cluett farm, was mixed
up in the burglaries, went to hic
home on Water street, which is locgt-
ed on the farm The officers found
Mrs. Babcock home and, as soon as
she learned that they were after her
husband, she hurried across the fields
to sound the alarm al the cattle barn
where he was at work. a careful
search of the house brough results
for carefully packed away in
trunk was a mirror bearing the name
Mrs. G. A. Cluett' on the back. and
four blankets which Mr.. Cluett later
said were the property of James M.
Ide, whose summer home is near
that of the Cluetts. Both summer
homes We're burglarized about a
month ago.
After completing their search OF
the house, the officers started out to
arrest Babcock, but his wife had sue
ceeded in warning him and he had
disappeared. They then returned to
the center OF the town and later went
back to the house. arriving there at
O'Clock in the evening. Suspecting
that Babcock intended to return

SURE SIGNS OF DEATH.
Guided by Them, There Is Little Dam
ger Of Premature Burial.

There is widespread belief among
educated persons that burial while
still alive is. though not probable. at
least possible. AS evidence of this be-
lief one has but 10 notice how many
persons leave instructions IN their wills
for the taking of special precautions
TO guard against this most dreadful OF
catastrophles.
When embalming takes place. or
course. there is no possibility OF being
buried alive. yet being killed by en-
balmlng fuid instead of being allowed
to revive and spend many more years
on earth Is not the fate one would Sc

sign Of death-namely. putrefaction-
yet there are many other signs. no one

sence of putrefaction. make the diagno-
sis absolutely sure.
The heart may stop beating. but this
does not necessarily mean that the pa
tent Is dead. The writer recalls a
case in his personal observation when
a woman's heart stopped beating thir'
ty-four times IN twelve hours and each
time was started M again by injec-
lions OF brandy and of nitroglycerin.
That Is more than six years ago. and
the woman is alive and strong today.
II is often very difficult to tell the
precise moment of death. but when
the heart refuses TO respond 10 stimu'
lntion. when the body becomes rigid.
when the blood coagulates and the eye.
balls become faced and lose their ten
sion. then there is no doubt that death
has come. The greatest safeguard
against premature burial is the length

Comfortable winter weather pre-,

The low figure is record breaker
for any town on the Canadian border

will probably stand as the low mark
for the state during the past rs years
at least.
