STILL MAKING SUGAR
BACK IN GRANVILLE
One Producer Gathered 200 Buckets of
Sap Last Tuesday.

Bethel, May T.. Sugaring is still in
progress in Granville and other noun
tain sections, OF the White river valley.
In Granville on Tuesday Mr.. Ford, one
of the sugar makers, gathered 2oo
buckets of sap. To date he has made
600 gallons of syrup. There has been
no hot spell, such as usually occurs
in April.
Prices for immediate sales have been
Sl.75 to 81 for syrup in barrels at the
Randolph market; $3.50 for choice syr-
up in GALLON cans, and SO for the same
quality, when special customers were
found, here or elsewhere. There is no
doubt that producers, but advertising
their goods in the cities, would get the
higher price named for the whole OF
their prime product. Many prefer
early sales and returns at less price
The season was an average one in this
valley.

George Dey Slashed His
Throat Last Evening and
Soon Bled to Death
HAD BEEN DRINKING,
ACTING STRANGELY Y
Killed Himself at the c. 4
clearinghouse o q.
Main Str .$

George Dey, SITTER, slashed
his throat with a ~ in his room at
the Cleary boarding house at $50 North
Main street, last evening about $3.50
o'clock and before his act was discov-
cred the man had bled to death.
The last person to see him alive was
John Hendrick, who in passing his
room on his way down to supper asked
him if he was going to eat. The reply
was, "No." While the boarders were
seated about the table a strange noise
was heard up stairs, believed now to
have been the thud Of his body, when
he fell to the floor. Mr.. Cleary, who
was just coming to his supper, was
informed Of the strange actions Of Mr.,
Dey and went to the room to learn
the cause of the disturbance He was
accompanied by John Hendrick, and
the two men found the man lying face
downward in a pool of blood. He was
pulseless. A doctor and the chief Of
police were Immediately notified.
The iugular vein had been com.
pletey severed and the mans head
nearly cut off by his act. Apparently
he had done this while seated on tho
edge of the bed. where he was last
seen by Mr.. Hcndrick
His actions of late have been some
what peculiar and it is said by several
he had been drinking. He was about
the Cleary home yesterday all day,
acting strangely and causing Mrs,
Cleary to become alarmed at his ac'
tions, though he bore no signs of in
toxication then.
For the past four years he had
been faithful worker at, the Hebert &
Ladrie stoneshed, and with Mr.. Ladrie
left the care of his bank book and
savings AT the time of labor trouble
here he drew a considerable sum with
the intention of leaving the city to find
employment. Besides his few personal
belongings he leaves $50 on miney and
a $50 Liberty bond, all of which are in
the care of his employer, who by con
siderable persuasion had caused him to
leave this in the bank.
Dey has no relatives in Barre so far
as known. though wife and son,
George, are believed TO survive him. He
parted from his family about seven or
eight years ago, his son going TO Scot
land. while his wife is believed to be
living in or about Boston.
1t is expected that the funeral viii
be held from Perry & Noonan's UNDER
taking rooms tomorrow afternoon at
2 o'clock.
