Mystery of the Bloomington Found
ling May Be Solved.

The mystery surrounding the child
left at the home of C. W. Skinner in
Bloomington two weeks ago Sunday,
is thought to have been solved. The
authorities got busy upon one or two
slight clues and two different "leads"
bring up at the same place.
The automobile track found in
front of the Skinner house has been
found to be track Identical with the
track made by the car of a certain
Canadian physician, who lives Just
across the line in Beebe, P. Q. This
doctor, said to be Gilfillan by name,
has a very unsavory reputation in
this part of Vermont. It is said he
has been supporting a child in Can
ada, but is no longer financially able
to do so, and the belief is that he con-
veyed the child by his car to the farm
in Bloomington, where it was left.
The horse blanket spoken of as being
left with the child, is of Canadian
make and strengthens the opinion
that the child came from across the
line.
The Monitor is unable to learn the
particulars of the case across the line
but Bloomington authorities are sat-
isfed that the child came from Can
ada and that the story of the child as
related above is substantially true.
AS legal procedure seems to be out
Of the question in this case, interna-
5iOnal complications entering into it,
5he child will probably be given away
and legally adopted by someone.

days.
Altha Dutton was born in Royal
ton July 3, 1856, the only child of
Edward F. Dutton and Mary Baldwin
Dutton. When Mrs. Pierce was about
three years old, the family came to

In the winter of 1905, Mr.. and Mrs.
Pierce went to Pasadena, Calf, on
account of the i'll health of Mr..

he died there Feb. 21, 1906. Since
his death Mrs. Pierce has never re-
covered from the great loss she sus-
tanned
Mrs. Pierce was woman of strong

L. P. Case.

In the passing of Levi P. Case on
the morning Of November 5, Barton
loses one of it's oldest residents.
Levi Parsons Case was born in
Coventry, October 9, 1927, the son of
Rev. Lyman Case and Phoebe Hollis
ter Case. His early life was spent in
Coventry and he received his educa-
tion in the public schools of Coventry
and the academy at Bloomington.
In the early fifties he went to New
York state where for many years he
was a successful photographer He
was married November 3, 1862 to
Sarah E. Leonard at Westville, N. Y,
and to them four children were born,
Charles E., who died in infancy, Nellie
E., now Mrs. Fl. J. Stannard, Laura
B., and Bertha L., who died in 1891,
at the age of fourteen years.
Returning to Coventry, where he
lived for several years, Mr.. Case in
the fall of 1882, came to Barton onto
the farm west of the village, now
owned by c. T. Miles, where he lived
until the summer of 1911, when the
buildings were burned.
Mr.. Case had been in failing health
for several years and during his long
illness was very patient, and although
unable to read on account of failing
sight, never lost interest in public af-
fairs. He was a genial, kind-hearted
man, one who never wished i'll of any
one, highly respected, of upright
character, a Christian gentleman of
the old school.
He is survived by his wife, two
daughters, Mrs. II. J. Stannard and
Laura B. Case, and one brother,
Charles H. Case of Chicago. Services
were held at the home Tuesday after
non, Nov. Z, at 1.30 o'clock. The
bearers were A. R. Wakeman, R. M.
Gllmour and Milo Owen, old neigh
bors of the deceased, and C. T. Miles
who now owns the Case farm. Inter
ment was in the family lot in We'll
come 0. Brown cemetery.

Boy Shot and Killed in Row at Island
Pond

The state dailies have printed some
sensational stories about the shooting
of a boy at Island Pond. The truth
of the story appears to be about as
follows:
Archie Riggie, 16 years old, son
of John Riggie, was shot and almost
instantly killed Wednesday night of
last week in a tenement of Miss Vina
Mousseau on Railroad street. Doctors
were summoned but the lad lived only
a few minutes after their arrival.
This tragedy was the outcome of a
quarrel, somewhat of the nature of a
family feud and a drunken brawl, but
the victim was not one of the parties
engaged and, as is quite often the
case, was an innocent party.
There are many reports as to the
trouble leading up to the shooting, all
of which may have more or less truth,
but are lacking in the real facts in
the case. There was a row, bad blood
was shown, threats were made and
finally a revolver was brought into
play and a lad paid the penalty with
his life. Archie was standing near
the door of the tenement of Mrs. Stan
ley when the bullets struck him. Two
shots were fired, one entering the
side of the neck just below the ear,
and the other passing through the
heart. The bullets came near hitting
Mrs. Stanley.
Deputy Sheriff E. A. Bemis was
summoned and was soon on the scene.
He Immediately got the states attor-
ney, Claire R. Powell, and a hasty in
vestigation was made.
Thursday forenoon Attorney Gen
eral Barber Of Brattleboro and DR.. B.
H. Stone Of the state laboratory of
hygiene arrived and an investigation
followed. At this hearing the parties
undergoing Investigation were repre-
sented by J. Rolfe Searles, attorney,
of St. Johnsbury.
No arrests have been made at this
writing.
