A Suspicion.
(Rutland News

There is well defined suspicion in the
minds of the officials OF Windham county
that the man who shot and killed the aged
deer hunter, 5. Sawyer, in Townshend
Monday himself knew that he had shot
a human being. The facts III the case as
far as they are disclosed seem to snbstane
tiate this suspicion. 1t would look like
a bit of eowardice similar to that when
an. automobile driver kills a pedestrian
and skulls away, iii an attempt TO keep
his identity a secret No doubt II thor

made and no stone left unturned which
will fix the responsibility for this killing

WANT R. R. MEN FOR SERVICE
 WITH A. E. F.

Sergt. T. s. o'Brien, G. s. l., of the local Army Recruiting Station, 926 Main street, this city. has receiv- ed instructions from his chief, Col. B. P. Nicklin, to make special efforts to obtain qualified railway men for immediate service with the American forces in France and Germany; 253 men are needed to constitute a com pany of Engineers for use in railway operation and maint tenance, qualified as follows: Train despatchers, 8; roundnouse foremen, 10; IocomouIve engineers, 25; locomo i've firemen, l25; conductors, 25; brakemen, AZ; yardmasters, 10; station agents, 10; telegraph operators, 6; machinists, I5; boilernakers, 15; blacksmiths, 5; Alpemen, $; punpmen, Z; towermen, 60; sWitchmen, A.
 Ennsument Tor this service may be for a period of one Or three years, and former military service will not be required. Men who do not consru CT themselves fully qualified in any of the above positions. but who have had experience in similar work, and whose general intelligence warrants the be- lief that they would rapidly qualify in any one of these positions can be accepted also for this service.
 Further instructions nave been re- ceived to make special effort to ob- tain applicants for enlistment in the following arms of the service:
 Medical Department for service in Hawaii. This department has been closed for all branches for the past two months, and as only 100 men are needed to fill the present existing quo,a ln the Medical Department in that country, it is thought that the number of men desired will be quickly obained, as it is considered a very desirable country to serve in.
 The Corps of Engineers is also in need of recruits, for service at home or abroad. Men with common school education are bound to mahe good in this branch of service. There is plenty of opportunity for men in this arm of the service to advance to non-commissioned grades.
 For full par .iculars apply to the sergeant in charge of the Army Re- c:'uit:nS Station, 925 Main street.
