BODY OF

The body of Frank Pianna, who has
been missing for a month, was found
yesterday morning by a trio of
hunters in a clump of sagebrush four
and n half miles northwest of Alkali
Springs and within two miles of the
tunnel in which Piannia pitched his
camp. From all indications he had
been dead for many days. The
theory now accepted by the most
dubious as a fact that Pianna came
to his death as a result of suffering
an attack of dementia, was further
borne out by the absence of shoes on
the dead mans feet.-Goldheld Tri-

BRADSTREETS WEEKLY
VERMONT TRADE REPORT

Bradstreet's Burlington office reports
there appears to be an upward tendency
in orders received by the State manu-
featuring interests in certain lines, With
manufacturers of overalls and garments
this is true, the Increase coming mainly
from western points. Business In this
line from State retailers, however, shows
only moderate buying. Some wooden
mills epo plants fully employed, this
having been made possible by orders re-
ceived from foreign countries. There is
also noted a continuance In the demand
for machinery from abroad and one Of
the State machine plants reports sufl-
cient business abroad to keep present
force employed into May next. An i'm.
provement Is also noted among the knit
goods manufacturers During the past
week the active operations in lumber
camps nave been noted, this having been
made possible by the recent snow fall,
which has also given employment in a
small way to labor in the large places.
The demand for foodstuffs continue rea-

sold at I to 8 cents and feeders at o to

in prices of sheep and lambs. arrivals
being small and quickly absorbed. Best
lambs are quoted at 5 cents the range
being 8 to s cents, with sheep selling
at 4 to s cents.
Cutting off the western supply of hogs
makes a serious difference for those who
usually kill at the abattoir. as the sup

Arrivals Of hogs from the West have
been about normal for the week, the
total kill by the Boston packers being
$500 hogs, against 1900 for the preced
ing week and D.0OO for the same week
last year. Since January /, 1915. the
total kill by the Boston packers has been
1877 900 hogs, against 1850 for the Same
period in 1914. Future shipments from
western points are a matter of consid-
cradle uncertainty, as all the big stock
yards have been closed for disinfection.
Shipping will be resumed as soon as
considered safe. but there is likely to
be some falling off in the volume for
a while, except from outside country
stations,
Exports of pork products hold up we'll,

available the volume is large. Total ex-
ports for the week by the Boston pack

Connecticut Crime Yelled in
Mystery-New Britain Police
and State Detectives Confess
They Are Baffled.
REVENGE SURPASSED MOTIVE
Or Possibly R0bbery-Victim
Had Received Threatening
Letters, His Private Papers
We're Rifed and Burglars
Tools Are Found in House.

Nc~ Britain, Conn, Feb. "a double
murder. the circumstances Of which are
yelled in mystery. was discovered in the
rectory OF ST. Andrews Lithuanian Cath
Ollie Church here to-day, the victims being
the Rev. Joseph Ieebris and his house
keeper. Miss Iva Il. Gilman. Bullet
wounds were found in both bodies and
ropes had been ted tightly around their
neCks.
Miss Gilman body was found in an
attic room, the door of which was lock-
ed and the key broken in the lock. The
priests body WAS in his stucy on the first
floor. The rectory had been ransacked.
Four empty cartridge shells and several
tools such as are used by burglars were
found in the house.
After an Investigation lasting all day,
local and state police admitted tonight
they We're bafned. From the facts that
the priest had received threatening let
tors demanding money and that desk
drawers and cabinets containing private
papers had been riled the police lean to
the theory that the motive may have
been revenge or robbery.
PRIEST KILLED FIRST.
The circumstances indicate, the police
say, that the priest was killed first and
that Miss Gilman, hearing the scuffle,
and coming to his rescue was chased up
stairs, and shot and stranEled. Strangula-
ton probably was the immediate cause
of her death. one of the two bullet
wounds in the priests body had pierced
the heart. \. cord was tied around his
neck, also.
The doors and windows of the rectorv
were securely fastened. When the priest
failed to attend mass. the parishioners
investigated. y snail boy crawled
through a cellar wiz, ow and discovered
the crime.
Members Of the congregation have
taken preliminary steps toward Offering
a reward for the apprehension of tn,
murderer or murdorers. Nm autopsy will

AUTOPSY PERFORMED.
a partial autopsy performed on the
body of the Rev. Father Zeebris late
tonight disclosed that four bullets
had entered the body anyone of which
would have caused death. A prelim-
mary autopsy on Miss Gilman's body
showed that the wound supported at
first to have been made by a bullet,
WAS probably made by a large ice
pick, which was found nearby.
The police learned definitely that
the priest had recently expressed fears
for his life and that "A few nights ago,
upon returning from a late sick call,
he had insisted upon one of his par
ishioners accompanying him to the
rectory. - aid that he made bit
