CHARGED COLONEL
SAID HE'D SHOOT
Commander at Fort Ethan Allen Com
planned OF BY Employer
of Chauffeur.

Burlington, Jan. ll.--Col w. ]. Mich
olson, commandant at Fort Ethan Al
len, has been made the subject of an
investigation by the war department on
the complaint OF the W. G. Reynolds
company OF this city that Col Nicholson
threatened to shoot the company's chauf.
feur, Lyman Spooner
The complaint followed an incident
near st. Michael's college in Colchester
q few days before Christmas when
Spooner, in the company's auto truck,
passed a carriage in the highway in
which were Mrs. Nicholson and her
daughter. Col Nicholson maintains that
the Reynolds ear was being driven about
40 miles an hour and the high speed
started up his horses and frightened his
wife.
Not long after the incident, Col Mich
olson appeared at the Reynolds store
aud was met by manager Frank @. Lyon.
Col. Nicholson remarked, Mr.. Lyon al
legged, that if the chauffeur ever fright
ened Mrs. Nicholson again he would
shoot Spooner. The latter was in and
confronted DY the cOlonel.
Spooner denied driving the car at an
excessive speed and declared he did not
brighten the horses. Col. Nicholson is
then alleged to have repeated the shoot
ing threat
As the officer was departing Mr.. Lyon
says he asked him if he really meant
what he said. Col. Nicholson, it is al
legged, replied that he positively did
mean it.
Mr.. Lyon wrote Secretary Of War Gar
rison on the subject. He also set letters
to Senator w. p. Dillingham; and to Rep
resentative Frank L. Greene at Washing
tom
The war department acted promptly
md Col. Chamberlain of Governors is
and came to the city few days ago
md conducted an investigation. The |
hearing was held in the store. Lyon, |
Spooner and Others who were present at |
he time Col, Nicholson had his CONVEX
,ation with the manager gave testimony.
No further action has yet been taken. !
