EUGENE HAMLETT
KILLED BY TRAIN
Failing to Get Auto to Take Him from
Randolph to Home in Braintree Satur-
day Night, He Apparently Boarded a
Freight Train, from Which He
Jumped or Was Thrown.

Randolph, June 2l.---A. f. Lamb was
summoned to Braintree on Sunday morn
ing to care for the body of man which
had been discovered on the track at
an early hour Sunday morning. 1t was
found to be Eugene Hamlet, who, in
company with Richard Jacobs, was here
Saturday evening and made an attempt
to get an auto to take him home. Fail
ing in this, it is thought that they board
ed the freight train which leaves here
about midnight. and when near the
Braintree station Hamlet jumped off or
fell between the ears and was killed. Sew
eral trains must have passed over him
as his legs were horribly mangled; and
it is thought that death must have come
within five or ten minutes from the loss
of blood The two were seen at Bethel
on Saturday, but they evidently came
here early in the evening as they were
seen by several.
Eugene Hamlett was employed by
Frank Batchelder and is thought to have
been about 40 years of age, and is sur
vived by wife who was in Barre at
the time of the death. The Braintree
health officer authorized A. F. Lamb, the
to take the body here and
care for it, and it is now awaiting the
OF friends. No further par
ticulars have been gained, and so far
as is known here, Jacobs has not been
seen.

BARRE HAS A CHANCE
To Make Shrapnel To Be Used in the
European War.

Agents credited with representing am
munition solicitors who are stationed in
New York in the interests of the British
and French governments, were in the
city Saturday and Sunday endeavoring
to place with local firm large order
for hrapnel. One of the men called at
the South Main street plant of Trow &
Holden and broached the subject Of in
stslling machinery for the manufacture
of shrapnel. 1t was intimated that con-
tracts offered would keep the firm work.
ing to capacity should it see fit to 60
into the shrapnel business. Machine
shops in Montpelier were also visited
and the agents are reported to have gone
so far as to submit blue print speciica-
tions. Trow & Holden have the offer
under advisement, although a member of
the firm intimsted to-day that the agent
received little encouragement when he
called at their plant. Trow g. Holden
are busy supplying the demands of their
tool trade customers and feel that any
venture in the field of ammunition man
ufacturing would necessarily interfere
with the output of their esta blished
product
One or two Vermont firms have al
ready signed contracts for the manu-
faeture of shrapnel, the +. r. Patch
Manufacturing Co. of Rutland being one
of these. A hurried call from the front
is said to be responsible for the placing
of large number of war orders lately
received by American manufacturers and
invariably the contracts for shrapnel
have received first preference.

for producing an explosion at given
time.
Grearson & Lane, the Burnham's |
meadow granite manufacturers, have
also been approached by agents with war
orders.
