A. W. LoCKLIN IN TROUBLE.
Cashed Check for $4,000 Received from
Sale in Fathers Estate.

Mortified, Oct. 2l.--There were no
new developments this morning in the
case brought against Arthur W. Locklin,
who was held Yesterday on the charge of
larceny and placed under bail of $4,000
for hearing Monday.
After the southbound noon train had
left the Mortified station yesterday Dr.
William b. Mayo was advised that Lock
lin, who was administrator of the estate
of his father, A. J. Locklin, and for whom
DIR. Mayo and NJ Z. Chase were bonds
men, had cashed check for $4,000 that
morning and gone away. On Thursday
Locklin, under license from the probate
court, sold some bank stock to the
amount of S2,200 represented by the
check he had cashed. Yesterday he pur-
chased new travelling bag and new
suit of clothes and was seen at the rail
road station as the noon train pulled in.
Chief of Police J. NJ. Donahue was
called into the case, warrant for lar
ceny was issued, and the wires were kept
sizzling in an attempt to locate Locklin
en- route for Boston, New York or Can
ada.
When it became apparent from reports
received that he had not boarded the
train an automobile was chartered and
Chief of Police Donahue started for
Northfeld Falls, the former home Of
Loekln, where he was found at the rail
road station, from which he emerged as
the northbound mail train whistled in.
He was brought to the office of VIII
liam c. White, acquainted with the
DI
thing like $3.50 of the $4,000. He had
most of this in belt on his person and
spending the balance for
his own use.
1t is reported that he endeavored to
persuade his wife, formerly Eva Alden,
to accompany him and that she refused
to go. 1t is also reported that he showed
the check TO several people and that his
actions aroused the suspicious that he
was intending to make a getaway.

Soon Died

Marshfeld. Oct 2l.-Everett Tanner,
aged IA, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Tan
ner of this village, was almost instantly
killed yesterday afternoon by the acci-
dental discharge OF shotgun while out
hunting with Victor Pitkin, aged 8, and
the son of Ozias Pitkin. The boys, carry
ing the gun and trap, went to a pond
on the Tanner farm located about mile
and a quarter from this village on the
road to Cabot.
On arriving at the pond, they made
preparations to go out on the pond after
wild ducks which are accustomed to feed
there. The Tanner boy carried the shot
gun and thrust it, butt first, into the
boat, 1t is probable that the trigger hit
the seat in being thrown into the boat,
as the weapon was discharged when the
muzzle was pointed directly at the Tan
ner boy. The charge entered the right
breast, and the boy screamed and fell
backward. His young companion ran to
the house on the Tanner farm, occupied
by Mr. Bucklin, and got him to come.
On reaching the pond Mr.. Bucklin
found the Tanner boy lying near the edge
of the pond The injured youth gasped
twice and then expired. Mr.. Bucklin
notified Mr.. Tanner in this village and
DR., f. z. Corson, the town health officer,

looking viper pointing menaeingly at his
pliers. Removing loose strip of bark
that acted as a shelter for the adders, the

MAY BE MURDER
Authorities are Investigating Mystery
at Rutland, Mass.-Bodies Were
Some Distance Apart.

Rutland, Mass, Oct. 2l.-The authori-
ties to-day were investigating the pos
sibility that the two bodies found yes
terday were victims of a murder. One
body was discovered in the woods near
North Rutland and Princeton and was
identified as that of James Ryan, who
disappeared early in September. The
medical examiner said the jawbone was
fractured. A loaded shotgun lay beside
the body. The second body, that of a
woman, was unearthed by farmer while
digging in rubbish near the barn.
An autopsy revealed they might have
been strangled. The only clue to identi-
fication was that woman employed on
the farm early last summer disappeared
in July. Her husband, farmland. said
the woman had gone away and the next
day he left town.

U. S. TROOPS FIRED UPON.
There Were No Casualties on the Amer
lean Side.

San Antonio, Tex, Oct 2l.-American
troops and Mexicans clashed near San
Jose, in the Big Bend country Thursday
afternoon, according TO Il report received
by General Funston last night from Col.
Joseph Castor, commander OF the dis
trict. The fight lasted forty-tiye min
utes. No losses were suffered by the
Americans and information is lacking re-
garding loss among the Mexicans.
Colonel Gaston's report said band
of about thirty Mexicans opened fire on
a detachment composed of twenty-three
men of the sixth cavalry and Texas
National Guard cavalry squadron, en-
gagged in patrol duty between Preside
and Buidosa. Lieutenant Cudington, of
the Texas squadron, commanding the
troops, ordered his men to return the fire.
A vigorous exchange of shots contin-
ued for As minutes, the Americans and
Mexicans firing in skirmish formation
from covered positions on either side of
the Rio Grande. Information from Col
CASTOR did not indicate that the United
States troops crossed in pursuit of the
Mexicans. After the fight Lieutenant
Cudington returned to Rudiosa with his
command.
Whether the Mexicans were de facto
government troops or members of ban
dit band, was not known by General
Funston last night.
Washington, Oct. 2l-General Funston,
last night on the exchange of
shots across the border at San Jose, said
that late reports reaching him indicated
the American troops were fired on 'by
drunken Mexicans."
The dispatch made no mention of firing
by the American troopers and said there
were no casualties on either side. OIL
cials here were inclined to attach little
significance to the incident, believing that
the irresponsible band had blundered on
the detachment of Americans, and had
withdrawn after firing a few desultory
shots. There was nothing in General
Funston's dispatch, it was said, to indi-
,ate prolonged engagement.

TO GET OUT THE VOTE.
Republican State Committee Is Planning
Activities for Two Weeks.

\ Chairman Stanley c. Wilson of the
! Republican state committee, accompanied
by governor candidate Horace +. Graham
attended meeting of the several towr
committees held at White River June
tion yesterday. The gathering was one
in which much interest was shown in
both the national and state elections
| Mr.. Wilson emphasized the Importance
OF arousing interest among the voters
and of getting out the full vote on Nov
IL. Candidate Graham's tall, was largely
on state policies and from what he said
he will, as governor, place a restraining
hand on unnecessary expenditures.
member of the state committee said
to-day:
"The Republican state committee is
outlining somewhat vigorous campaign
for the two weeks preceding election day.
The question has been frequently asked
since headquarters were opened at Mont
plier Why campaign with no contests
for state offices and why should Vermont
wage a campaign for the national ticket
with the state safely Republican, The
question at first may seem reasonab BILE,
but upon second thought, does not seem
to stand rigid analysis. Vermont has a
reputation that has been maintained for
years. Her solid, or practically solid,
Republican vote has attracted the atten-
tion of the people the country over. If
in the former September state elections
majority of 80 odd thousand was Civ
en- the state ticket, it was set down as
showing how the election would go for
the national ticket the next November
"The purpose of the campaign is there
fore evident. The state committee de-
sires one of these old time ma iorities in
November same indication of loyal.
ty to Republican policies and to the cam
didates for president and vice president
as has so many times been made by the
voters of the state.
with a national ticket that is de-
light to all true Republicans and with a
state ticket composed 'of men whose abil-
ity has already been shown in offices OF
trust, every voter should show his 10y
atty to party and his appreciation of the
candidates by going to the polls on Nov.
I.
"Beniamin Gates, candidate for state
auditor, will spend the next two weeks
at Republican headquarters in charge of
the speaking schedule. 1t is planned to
have as many rallies in the several coun-
ties as there are available speakers and
the indications are that the people are
taking an interest and desire to hear the
spoken word as much in this campaign
as in any in the past. Rallies may be
arranged through the town committees,
who viii complete the final arrangements
with the state committee.
Thousands of lithograph likenesses of
presidential candidate Hughes have been
sent to every sftion OF the state and
much literature of national character
las been forwarded to the town commit
,ees for distribution.
From now till election day the state
committee will be busy, and it is the
earnest hope that the voters will rally to
he polls and pile up one of those old |
ime, stimulating and invigorating ma
critics for both the national and state
icket."
