torial Is thusly:

to the point where the contests are

they are all wrong. The general

BACHANOWSKY IS
HELD WITHOUT BAIL

of Frank SaliskewsKy by Poison
ing-Experts Testify.

Felix Bachanowslly of Winchester,

The state was represented by At
troney General j. 2. Tuttle and
Charles A. Madden OF keene, acting
for County Solicitor o. Z. Cain. At
torney Roy NJ. Pickard OF Keene rep
resented the respondent.
Evidence was introduced by the
state to show that Bachanowsky
bought Il quantity OF Fowler's solu-
tion of arsenic Dee. II and Is, and u
few days later tried TO buy some white
arsenic. Other evidence was to the
effect that Bachanowsky and Mrs.
Saliskewsky were friendly and that
Saliskewsky was taken i'll Dec. 16.
There was also some evidence that
Bachanowsky had taken Il trip to Bos-
ton previous to this. Saliskewsky was
attended by a physician at home un-
til Dee. %, when he was taken to the
hospital in Keene, where he died four
days later. He had, the evidence tend
ed to show, all the symptoms of ar
senical poisoning. 1875. ..

$3.50 OF FUND GOES
FOR CONDENSED MILK
David Willard Points Out Need-30..
600 Babies Born In Belgium Since
Beginning of the War.

David Willard, who las been organ
izing surgical dressings committees in
various parts of Windham county and
elsewhere, writes from New York to
o Brattleboro friend:
'tYou would be Interested, I-tbiiik,
to know what l have4been doing about
the fund now collecting in Braftleboro.
1t seemed advisable to me to expend
$3.50 of the amount we had on hand,
leaving the balance as nucleus for
what l am still gathering.
4 have communicated with the Bel
GUM relief fund, and they tell me that
although splendid results were obtain
ed from their appeal for canned milk,
published week ago Sunday, sufficient
has not yet been received to meet the
tremendously pressing demand of the
moment.
You have heard, of course, that
since the beginning of the war 10000
babies have been born to the desperate
Belgium mothers. And born where, and
how and to what? To rags, to ruin, to
desolation, to the fury of storm and
fire and carnage; but-let US not be
forced to add TO starvation There
fore, as the Belgium relief fund re-
quests, ] have caused to be placed
| through q friend of mine in the com
mission business, an order for $3.50
worth of condensed milk.

Sporting Neus
CLEVER BOXING
IN 10-ROUND BOUT
ReilIey Of New York in Better Con
dttion than Springfield Man
Neither Man Was Damaged.

frankie Sheehan of Springfield,
lass, and Barney Kelley of New
ork, the veteran of over 500 ring
Jattles and coming young boxer re
,pectivelv, met last evening III the
Armorv IN the final bout, che of 10
.ounds. The attendance was slightly
.arger than at the last staging of rho
istic game and In the final bout there
vas more boxing skill displayed than
N the star bout u week ago, but the
meu did not work so hard.
Sheehan did not appear to be IN
such good condition rs his younger OPP
Jonent and certainly showed a DISPOSE
ion to clinch with Il frequency that
slowed up the rounds. ReiIley fol
lowed the agreement to break clean
md did no hanging on. Sheehan was
leyer in distress enough to cause rea-
son to clineh unless it was because OF
his poor physical condition.
There were Il few intervals in the
match when the men stood toe to toe
aud snapped punches. Reilley landed
more effective blows than did Sheehan
but the veteran appeared not to mind
them. In the Last round the first view
of the claret appeared as Il tiny
stream trickled down the side of
Reilly face. The appearance of
neither man was damaged by the
encounter. As 4. boxing exhibition
some clever lodging, ducking and side
stepping were shCwn by both.
In the second bout, which was
scheduled to go six rounds, John Gar
ritv OF Company ] pulled off the
gloves at the end Of the fourth round
announcing that he had understood
that was the limit of the bout. His
| opponent was ''Dick' Pollard of Hins-
| dale, n. H., who was making his first
| appearance in any ring. Clarity prob
| ably scored the most points, rushing
his lanky opponent during the first
| three rounds, but Pollard began to dis.
cover that he had u right hand and
sometime early in the third round he
landed "a blow on ,Garrity's cheek
| that had resulted in sizeable bunch
when the bout came to an end.
The preliminary was between
kid Clune and Young Ken
nedy, both of BrattfetJUro. Kennedy
showed q surprising ability as q. two
handed boxer. and while Clune kept
him busy Kennedy scored the more
points. -f~
Edward Schiller was referee anc
did not have a very hard time.

Every British Merchant Vessel Found
to Be Destroyed-United States and
Scandinavia Affected by the Proc
lamation. '.~
LONDON, Feb. >. 4 German proc
lamation declaring "the waters around
Great Britain and Ireland, including
the whole English channel, q war zone
from and after Feb. Is, reached Lon
don yesterday.
The first impression created by the
declaration was that the German gov
eminent had committed the greatest
of all blunders which could be laid at
the door of German statecraft. 1t is
regarded here as more materially af
fecting interests of neutral nations than
endangering British supplies.
The proclamation says that "every
enemy merchant ship, found in this
zone, will be destroyed, even if it is
impossible to avert dangers which
threaten the crew and passengers. >
England, however, sees the chief
blunder i'll this part of the communica-
ton: "Also, neutral ships in the war
zone are in danger, as in consequence
of the misuse of neutral flags ordered
by the British government on Jan.
81 and in view of the hazards OF naval
warfare, it cannot always be avoided
that attacks meant for enemy ships
