Was Shot in Neck and Side

Island Pond, VT, Nov. 10 - Archie
Rigdie, aged Is, was killed Wednesday
evening, shot in the neck and in the
side, when he ran to the assistance of
his brother OWL Rigdie. who had been
pursued home and into the hallway OF
the house where he was living. No ar
rests have been made. Judge E. j.
Nelson of the county court and States
Attorney c. r. Powell are making an
investigation which promises to last
through Saturday at least
Young Rigdie died about o'clock.
an hour after the fatal shots were fired
and so many were mixed up in the hos
tile demonstration against OWL Rigdie
that neither positive assurance of the
slayer or indirect evidence tending to
point out the guilty man has been OBJ
tainable up to Friday afternoon. News
of the crime did not become widely
known until many hours after 1t was
committed
OWL Rigdie was concerned in wordy
quarrel in the village early in the eve
ming of Wednesday and he incurred the
displeasure of half a dozen who had
gathered around him in the center of
the village. They followed him when
he started back to his boarding plac e
in tenement house on Railroad street.
One of the courageous members of this
squad attempted to whip Rigdie on the
way up the street but desisted as Rig
die is powerfully built and is more than
a match for any ordinary man. The
ntire parity went all the way to the
int ho hol Of
the house. Even then they were cau-
tious about pitching in. and Rigdie
seemed able to stand off the whole half
dozen.
His younger brother, Archie. had
learned that his brother was likely to
get into trouble, SO he ran over from
the home of his mother, who lives on
Alder street, and forced his way into
the house. He had been there but a
few minutes when two shots rang out
and Archie staggered out of the house,
crying. 'They have shot me-" He tried
to get home unassisted, but was met
by others who were finding out some
thing of the commotion. He died an
hour later.
The fact that there had been blood
shed seemed to have reduced the
fighting spirit of the scene and the an
CRY men dispersed in few minutes
without other shots being fired or any
concerted attack being made on OWL
hidgie. -..-''
There are no police officers on duty
in the village and criminal officers are
constables and deputy sheriffs. A long
line of witnesses has been rounded up
in the probe to fix the responsibility
for the murder. 1t is said that the Of
! ficers have the names of the six or
seven men who were in the squad in
the tenement house at the time young
Ridge was shot and it is believed that
at least one and perhaps more of
! them will disclose the name of the
man who did the shooting.
The weapon has not been found and
the caliber of the revolver is not
known as neither bullet has been
found. 1t is believed the same man
fired both shots which took effect and
together caused the young mans
death. -..'
