Ho1way Company, Auburn, Me. 3,
wholesale -four, grain and feed
dealers, have been making Island
Pond a point for the reshipment of
flour and feed. The business has
been so favorable as to cause the
firm to make plans for enlarging
their storehouse and make this a
distributing point.
The business Of the Holway Co. g,
at Island Pond is looked after by
Frank Paquette, jr. Tuesday Mr..
Coombs of Auburn, Me-, of the
firm of Holway Co., was in town
and took up the matter of enlarg-
ing their plant here, with Mr..
Paquette. Their plans are to
double the capacity of the store
house, making it large enough to
hold fifty carloads of -four, grain
and feed. This work is favorably
considered by the company and it
is hoped it will materialize and
make a permanent business at Is
land Pond. If this work is done
as planned it will be of great con-
venience to dealers in this vicinity
for they can get much quicker
shipments and lower rates, and in
fact have a wholesale firm within
easy reach.

BENNINGTON MURDER.
Body of William Costello Found
with Bullet Holes in Head
Slayer at Large.

The body of William Costello, 80,
who was employed in the washing
room of the Holden Leonard Co.
Woolen Mill of Bennington, was
found on the trolley tracks Saturday
night with two bullet holes in the
back of the head. The county and
local officials, with no apparent clue
to guide them are endeavoring to
run down the young mans murder
er. Costello was seen at the Ameri-
can House bar-room at nine o'clock
Saturday night. Half an hour later
he was lying dead beside the Ben
nington and North Bennington troll
ley track nearly half mile from
the hotel. 1t was midnight, however,
before the officers were informed of
the tragedy. Drunken men along
the line of the trolley tracks are no
uncommon sight Saturday nights
and it was not until drunk at the
Soldiers Home crossing had been
reported by several crews that a car
was stopped for investigation. When
the car reached the village a passen-
ger told Chief of Police Brazil that
he thought there was a dead man
near the track and when the officer
reached the scene the passengers
suspicious were confirmed
States Attorney Frank C. Archi-
bald, who lives at Manchester, 25
miles north of Bennington, arrived
early Monday morning by auto
mobile and took charge of the in
vestigation. DR.. B. H. Stone of
Burlington, the States pathologist,
reached Bennington Monday after
noon, to perform the autopsy. One
of the bullets struck the side of Cos
tello's neck and came out through
the upper lip. The other penetrated
back of the head at the base of the
brain, probably causing instant
death.
Nothing in the nature of a clue
developed during the day except the
finding of five empty 32-calibre re-
volver shells near a watering trough
about hundred yards from the
spot where the body was discovered.
The night watchman at the Benning-
ton Scale company's plant, the build
ing nearest the scene of the tragedy,
states that he heard five shots in
quick succession about $50 in the
evening.
Costello was an inoffensive fellow
and not disposed to be quarrelsome
even when under the influence of
liquor.
