&iGHT W. SHELDON
TAKES HIS LIFE
Despondent Because Of Poor Health,
Former Dorset Man Shoots Himself
with Rifle.

with Rifle.
Dwight w. Sheldon Of School street,
Rutland, aged 63 years, took his life
in his bedroom at his home Sunday
morning between and 6 o'clock,
blowing of one side Of his head with
a rifle Lying on the floor during the
temporary absence Of his wife from
the room, he laid the weapon upon his
body and fired it by pushing the trig-
ger with curtain stick The 3S.cal-
iber ball struck his chin and inflicted
a ghastly wound Death was nearly
instantaneous
Mr.. Sheldon was n sufferer from
cancer of the stomach and his deed is
attributed to his physical condition.
He underwent surgical operation
last February and had not been in
good health since that time. He had
been great sufferer for long
period
No member Of the family had any
| idea that Mr. Sheldon contemplated
any such act but the way in which he
| took his life leaves them TO believe
that he had carefully planned the
affair
Mrs. Sheldon arose at o'clock to
get glass of egg and milk for her
husband and when she returned to the
room with it he was sitting on the
bed and partially dressed. She went
to the upper floor of the house and
few moments later, after the shot was
heard by other members of the family,
she returned to the bedroom and found
the body. The nourishmcnt was un-
touched on a stand. Mrs Sheldon did
not hear the noise of the explosion be-
cause the water was running from
faucet in the bath room whore she
was.
Mr.. Sheldon was born in Hampton,
N. Y, and spent most of his earlier
life in Dorset where he was married TO
Mary Minerva Frost, December a,
1877. Later they moved to Peru and
lived there 10 years. Subsequently
Mr.. and Mrs. Sheldon resided in West
Wardsboro, Marlboro, Rutland and
Mendon, going to Rutland to live the
second time about two months ago.
Besides his wife, Mr.. Sheldon is sur
vived by three daughters, Mrs. r. H.
Dean of WilliamsviIle, Mrs. James S.
Munger of Rutland and Mrs. David j.
Munger Of Orwell, and three sons.
Aaron w. Sheldon of Mendon, Charles
7. Of Mendon and Ernest w. Of Rut-
land, Four brothers also survive,

LOOK OUT FOR PEDDLERS
They May be Agents of the Kaiser.
Must be Rooted Out.

Must be Rooted Out.
Peddlers who may be German spies
or agents or burglars and sneak
thieves are going to be looked after
more closely in the State of Vermont.
1t is proposed not to allow suspicious
characters TO travel around on other
errands under the guise of peddling.
Tax Commissioner Charles A. Plumley
has addressed the following letter to
all sheriffs, deputies and police oiIicers
in the State:
Montpelier, VT, July 7, 1917.
Dear Sir:-As a police officer you
understand just as well as ] do that
there are those engaged in the busi-
ness of peddling who are really the
advance agents" of organized gangs
Of burglars, sneak thieves and crooks.
| have information from a source
which consider absolutely reliable 10
tho effect that this country is "plas-
tered with peddlerg, canvassers and
hoboes who are only peddling as side
line, and are in fact, in the pay Of the
German government.
] am making it my business TO ask
you TO see TO it that no unidentified, or
person is permitted to ped
die from house TO house in your town.
The time TO lock the door is before the
horse is stolen, and we should make 1t
our business TO know who these people
are that are travelling across our state
as peddlers, canvassers
and hoboes.
am not an alarmist, but In view
Jf what | know and have reason 10
believe TO be true, am convinced that
rom the standpoint Of our protection
slone this matter deserves our more
.areful attention, ! bespeak your CO.
operation. Eternal vigilance is the
,rice Of liberty"
Yours very truly,
CHARLES A. PLUMLEY.

ALL STATE TROOPS DRAFTED
INTO ARMY or THE L. :.

Order Goes Into Effect August 5th
Vermont Boys 10 MoboIize on Jul,
25ih Presidents Order will Pcrmi,
Of Transporting Guards 10 Battle
Front.
Washington, July 9-The last step
necessary 10 make the entire national
guard available for duty in France
was taken today by President Wilson
with the issue OF proclamation draft
ing the state troops into the army Of
the United State. on August 5th.
To make certain that the purpose
Of the national defense act is carried
out the proclamation also specifically
declares the men drafted TO be dis
charged from the old militia status on
that date.
In that way the constitutional re-
straint upon use Of the militia outside
the country is avoided and the way
paved for sending the regiments to
the European front
Prior to the application Of the draft,
regiments in the northern and eastern
sections Of the country are called into
the federal service as national guards
men in two inerements to be modified
on July 18th and 25th.
Many units are already federalized
and presumably they will be mobilized
with the other troops from their
states. The guards from the other
states will be mobilized on the day Of
the draft. The arrangement was nee
essary TO provide for movement Of the
regiments south TO their concentration
camps without congestion and TO the
same end the division Of the states in
10 these increments was revised from
the original schedule.
The operative date of the draft was
delayed until August 5th so that all
regiments can be taken into the army
simultaneously.
Fourteen Camps Selected
Fourteen camp sites for the l6 tao
teal divisions into which the guard
will be organized for war purposes
have already been selected and the
militia bureau is preparing the rail
way routing Of the troops to their
camps. Seven Of the sites are in the
southeastern department, five in the
southern department and two in the
western. The two others will be in the
southeastern department and until
they are approved assignment Of reg
iments to camps and divisions cannot
be fully worked out. The only two
divisions positively assigned, the 10th,
including the California guard, which
will go to Linda Vista, Cal, and the
20th, including Oregon, Washington
and other states in the northwest
which will go to Ualo Alto, Cal.

"Danvis Folks"
"Do all that you can toward accum-
ulating information of value which

that can be operated by windmills,

Maybe you don't entirely agree with

eipts." Maybe you have learned bet
ar ones from the food scientists
lodern amendments to Aunt Jer-
sha's original motion. But food ex-
erts are quite in agreement with this
arly champion that corn meal is one
{ the most wholesome foods and that
1cre is no important dietetic differ
nee between corn and wheat as
,urces Of body fuel. And we're all
greed that there is patriotic obliga-
on to conserve food. So the duty be-

ave pointed out, there need be no sac
flee of palatability if corn meal is
made and served.
