DESPoNDENT woMAN's ACT.
Mrs. Abbie Patterson Moran of Brattle.
boro Hanged Herself.

Brattleboro, Feb. 2.-Mrs. Abbie Pat
terson Moran, SO years, widow of Dennis
J. Moran, committed suicide about one
o'clock yesterday afternoon in her home
on Central street by hanging herself
with a short piece of clothes line extend
ed from the post of her bed. She had
been in poor health for nearly a year
and respondent at one time, but her
friends did not anticipate such rash
act.
She evidently premeditated the act as
she asked Mrs Barrett to come up stairs
when she returned from church, saying
that if the front door was locked she
could come up the back way, as she al
ways left that entrance unlocked. Cas-
per Moran, a nephew by marriage, went
to the house shortly after one o'clock
and, being unable TO arouse his aunt,
inquired of Mr.. Barretts people, who
felt sure she was upstairs. After anoth-
er trial at the front door, Mrs. Barrett
went up the back way and found Mrs.
Moran on her knees but did not discover
the rope around her neck until she had
taken hold of her. She called the neigh
bors and John Skinner and Hugh Agnew
cut the rope at once.
DIR. Wheeler was summoned but it
was thought she had been dead about
half an hour. Miss Hope Howard, who
lived with her. was away over Sunday.
Mrs. Moran was born in Londonderry
October |, 1850. She was a member of
the Universalist church and Dennis Re-
bekah lodge of this town. She is sur
vived by two brothers, John Patterson
of Walpole and Edwin Patterson of Put
ney, and three sisters, Mrs. Frank Dun
bar of Somerville, Mass, Mrs. Nellie NJ.
Coolidge of State street, Springfield, and
Mrs. William Blithe of Peru street, the
same city.

FRUIT TREES CANNOT
ESCAPE TAXATION
CheIan County Assessor Notified to As
SeSS Orchard PrOperty-PeaCh
Trees Being Cut Out

The state tax commission has noti-
fed the CheIan county assessor that it
will take the same position in reference
TO the assessment of fruit trees that the
old commission did, expecting assess
ors to add the value of fruit trees to
orchard property which they are val
uing. All the horticultural counties
with the exception of Chelan have
been following this method, in effect
disregasdiDg the exemption law, the
constitutionality of which has been
seriously questioned.
According to the report of District
Horticultural Inspector Darlington to
the state department of agriculture,
approximately so per cent Of the bear
ing peach trees of Chelan county have
been taken out during the past year.
The report shows greater production
of fruit in the district, comprising Che
Ian, Okanogan, Grant and Douglas
counties, than ever before, and con-
siderably better prices received than in
1912.

This boy for several reasons was I'M
able to do the work and it was
thought that his time could be spent
more profitably in taking some more
preliminary training. We think
that this is quite a remarkable rec
ord, for generally the number has
been much larger.
The second period which just
closed seemed 80 be productive of
better work than the first one.
There were fewer failures than we
ever had. There were almost a
