Decoration Day Plans.

Barton hopes to make Decoration
day this year a memorable occasion
by giving the boys returned and re-
turning from the great war a promi-
nent place in the exercises of the day.
AS heretofore a parade is planned
to form at / o'clock at the school
house, marshalled by J. A. Pearson.
All organizations are invited and
urged TO go in the parade, and an es-
pecial invitation is extended to all
boys from this community who have
returned or return before that date
to form on.
The parade will march to the GEM
etery accompanied by the band and
return to the place of formation and
Immediately following the disband-
ing the address of the day will be
given by Rev. NJ. A. Turner in
Seaver's opera hall.
In view of the thinning ranks of
the G. A R. and the special reasons
why this year of all others should be
made to rank foremost among the
Decoration days of the years let every
organization in town plan to take its
part in the events of the day Plans
are in charge of E. G. Collision, COM
mander of Geo. W. Quimby Post.

ROY TO QUARRY GRANITE
Further Development of Barton
Granite Expected by New Move.

T. F. Roy, who operates the Roy
granite sheds, the largest in Barton,
has completed arrangements with H.
S. Fisk, whereby Mr.. Roy begins
quarrying operations under a much
larger scale than has ever before
been undertaken in Barton.
William Folsom of Hardwick, an
experienced quarryman, with a gang
of five men, has already begun oper-
ations on the Fisk quarry on Barton
mountain for Mr.. Roy. This gang
will be increased to II men and two
electric hoists will be used and mod
ern equipment of all kinds will be
installed with the idea of quite ex-
tensive quarrying operations.
The stock will not only be used for
the local sheds but shipped to granite
sheds in other places. Barre stock is
now so extremely high and freight
rates so exorbitant that Mr.. Roy has
good assurance of an outside market
for much Barton granite This means
substantial addition to the business
of the town in many respects and
perhaps presages much further ac-
tivity in the granite business in Bar
ton.

The Barre Murder Mystery.

Mystery still surrounds the murder
of Mrs. Harry Il. Broadwell in Barre
a week ago Saturday night. Early
Sunday morning the naked body of
Mrs Broadwell, was found in gar
den in the center of the city, just off
a path leading from two of Barre's
main streets.
Authorities, including States Attor-
ney Davis, Attorney General Archi-
bald and James r. Wood of Boston,
one of the best known detectives in
New England, have been working on
the case almost continually and state
that they are slowly but surely get
ting the story of the murder in small
bits from many different sources and
are weaving a web about the guilty
person or persons from which they
cannot escape.
Friends of Mrs. BroadwelPs from
Boston and other cities have been
summoned to tell of their knowledge
of Mrs Broadwell's friends and many
witnesses have been summoned be-
fore the authorities and questioned.
No arrests have actually been
made but this is not to say, however,
that no persons are under surveil-
lance Mrs. Belle Parker, who for
several years has kept a rooming
house in Barre; George Long, who
roomed at the Parker home, and Ga
brielle Bianchi, a stone cutter, resid-
ing in Montreal, all three Of whom
have previously been much mention
ed in connection with Investigations,
are being detained by the authorities
pending a final move TO clear up the
mystery.
Though they have spent all their
time since last Sunday in rooms in
Barre Hotel, though they are being
closely guarded, and though they are
having their meals sent up 20 them,
they are not under arrest. The au-
thorities insist upon this fact.
They are merely the guests Of the
county. That they remain in their
rooms is because they desire 10 do so.
That they are essential witnesses Is
the only admission the authorities
will make.
However, this much may be said,
that though no arrests have been
made. these three persons are under
the closest surveillance.

B. A. Wins First Game of Season.

Barton took a one-sided game of
baseball, the first of the season, from
the Craftsbury academy team on the
fair ground Saturday afternoon by a
score of "a to z.
The local boys showed considerable
form, Paul Buchanan in right field,
George Carter at second base and
Ross Wright in the pitchers box,
made an especially good showing.
Someone said Wright was right as
right-hand pitcher, striking out ten
men, and also right as a batter, get
ting one three-bag and one two-base
hits.
Rowell, the opposing pitcher, threw
a good game, but was given rather
ragged support. The team from
team of good fellows. If the local
boys keep their heads the prospect
for the team is very encouraging.
The game was two hours in play
ing, Tower and Dubois umpiring.
The score:
Inning 1884 567S9
Barton 225 22137 O-2d
Craftsbury ? 30 1902 O 0-7
The boys ought to have better sup
port, especially with the form they
are showing. In the case of Satur-
days game the guarantee to Crafts
bury was SO and but $3.50 was taken
in gate receipts.

Found Dead in Essex County Forest

The body of an unknown man was
found Sunday in the town of Bruns-
wick, across the Connecticut river
from North Stratford, N. H., face
downward in a bog hole on a lonely
logging road, long ago abandoned.
The body had probably laid there
many weeks.
The mans identity is unknown.
There was nothing upon him to give
any clue as to who he was. He was
about SO years of age, five feet, nine
inches tall and weighed about I65
pounds. Authorities are conducting
an investigation under States At
torney G. r. Powell of Essex county.
A fisherman, George Bushey, of
North Stratford, came upon the body
The lonely logging road leading deep
into the woods has not been used for
some years. 1t was last travelled by
persons who went over it last fall. So
far as known, no other man has been
over it since that time.
This fact, taken in conjunction
with the summer attire on the body
thin summer suit, summer underwear
and low shoes with white socks
makes it practically certain that the
body had been there all winter.
The body was in a fair state of
preservation but it would be impossi-
BILE, it is said, for anyone to make
face.
1t is believed that the man did not
meet with foul play, though that is
possible. 1t is supposed, however,
that he became lost and fell from ex-
haustion. dying where he fell, far
from any habitation or highway that
is travelled.
AS to who he was, it is thought he
NAV have been one Of the many wan
dering men who went to that section
to work in the logging camps, secure
small sum of money and then quit.
Many men come from Boston and VI
cinity, work for a little while and
then disappear.

THEIR FINISH IN SIGHT

It is said that when Dr. Karl Liebknecht, the late leader of the radical wing of the German Socialists, beganto write for the newspapers and spread his Socialist propaganda among the people, he did not want to sign his own name, so he cast about for proper name that would inspire. He went into history and found 9 Roman gladiator, one "Spartacus' who had given much trouble, Lebknecht then signed his articles "Dr. Spartacus." Thus his followers called themselves "Spartacans" and since the assassination of their leader, the radicals or Reds in Germany who are giving the new Ger man government so much trouble have gone by the name of "Spartacans." But according to in- dications, their finish is in sight.
