A shotgun the man owned had been
used for the deed, and was found
near him where 1t had fallen. The
muzzle of the gun had been placed
beneath his chin to do its deadly
work, and one shoe had been removed
to enable him to pull the trigger with
his toe. The shot entered under
meath the chin, and except for the
large hole there the features were
not otherwise disfigured, the charge
going upward into the head. but not

Charles Alotto came to Eureka
from Ely last Fall and since early in
the Summer has been employed by
Mrs. Kate Tognoni in preparing and
serving ice cream, soft drinks and
short orders at the Tognoni parlors

public in serving 1t. and regrets are
being expressed at his untimely
passing.

PRESENCE OF TROOPS
HAS QUIE7ZNG EFFECT
ON REBELLIMG MINERS
ENTIRE VILLAGES
LEAVING RUSSIA
Because of Deadly Famine Conditions
Crops Are Very
Light.

Baranowitchi, Russia. Sept. (By
the Associated Press Refugees pass
ing through this city from districts IN
northeastern Russia declare that the
entire lower Volga basin, the region
through which flows the Don river, and
the districts along the lower courses OF
the Dnieper and Bug are stricken by
the scourge of famine. In conversation
with DR.. Roy Smith, head of the Amer
lean Red Cross medical unit here, they
tell of severe drought, grain destroyed
by the intense heat, and of hunger,
starvation and disease.
During the past two months DR..
Smith has been collecting reports from
refugees, and they have agreed that
the acreage cultivated this yeai would
be the smallest on record, partly owing
to the lack of seed, horses, implements
and workers, and partly because the
soviet government took the surplus
grain grown by every farmer cultivat-
ing more than five hectars of land. Viz
tually the entire country between the
35th meridian of longitude and the
Ishim river, in Siberia, is suffering in
some degree, the refugees declare.
The soviet government issued orders
that any person having house should
not be allowed to go to Siberia from
the famine district, and it is asserted
that whole villages have been burned
so that the owners of houses in them
would have an excuse to leave. As a
result entire villages are migrating to-
ward Siberia, or have started toward
Poland. The government, unable to pro-
cure food for soldiers in the famine
district has been obliged to move its
troops to more favored localities.

Contingent r e &C h e d
There Last Night

Charleston, w. Va, Sept. 3,-tBy
the Associated Press The last OF
the federal troops ordered into the dis
turbed counties of the southwestern
party OF the state arrived to-day and
took up positions designated by
Brigadier General Fl. II. Bandholtz,

county, behind the lines OF armed
bands up the mountain at the Logan
county line The soldiers arrived late
and did not leave the % cars that con
yeyedthem to Madison. A strong guard

Both the federal and state military
authorities believed to-day will see
the end of the belligerency on the
Boone Logan boundary and that min
ers and Others gathered there will rap
idly disperse and return to their homes
under the protection of the federal
troops.
International Vice President Philip
Murray of the United Mine Workers
expressed his personal judgment in a
statement last night that the presence
of the federal troops will result in i'm
mediate quiet being restored.
"The men will welcome the federal
troops with open arms" he added Dis
trict Vive President William Petry of
Charleston said he had assurances from
the men that they would not oppose
the regular troops.

trouble and ii is not expected the 1000
trooDs held in reserve in army camps
will be needed.
There were reports early to-day of
a movement toward home in progress
late Yesterday. 1t was expected the
federal authorities would reach de-
cision to- day on the question of de-
elaring some form of martial law in
the Kanawha, Boone, Logan and Mingo
counties.
Telephone and telegraph communi-
cation with Fayette county was in

ing a fine game behind the bat for

for baseball in the amateur teams
about Barre and was coached by
Charlie Hoernle at Goddard seminary
and later at St. Johnsbury, where
Hoernle is manager of the team. The
st. Johnsbury Caledonian has the
following to say about young Starr.
Bernie broke into professional ball
in 1919, playing the season with More
town. In 1920 he slternsted playing
part of the time with Moretown and
the remainder with Barre. He did come
twirling, worked in the outfeld and

time. He passed through most sue

He is probably the heaviest hit.er
on the team and the compilation Of av-
