BODY MUTILATED BY
 FAST EXPRESS TRAIN
Leander "Bonham" Deott In- stantIy Killed While Walk
 ing on Track
Second Tragedy Near Meehaniesviile
 Bridge

Leander. more familiarly and gen. erally known as "Bonham" Deott, a resident of West Thompson, was in- stantly killed and his body badly mu- tilated, when he was struck by New York bound express train while walk ing on the railroad tracks of the New York. New Haven < Hartford Rail road just north of the bridge over the tracks at Mechanicsville, Sunday af- ternoon about half past one o'clock. Deott was widower and was sixty years old.
 The speeding express rounded the curve and the engineer saw man on the track, but too fate to bring the train to n stop. When Deott was struck his body was hurled upon the pilot of the locomotive and bounced from this position to the side of the raidroads right of way. The train was brought to a standstill and mem bers of the crew rushed back. The dismembered and badly mutilated body was discovered. denoting that death had been instantaneous.
 Body Removed
 Dr. R. c. Paine, medical examiner of the town of Thompson, was sum moned and, after making an investiga- tion, gave permission for the removal of the body, which was brought to A. Gilman's undertaking rooms.
 Deott was well known in West Thompson, Mechanicsville and Put nam. where he had been mill work CT. For some time he lived alone in a small house near West Thompson vil- lage. He has three brothers. Lewis and Nose of West Thompson, and Hen ry of Putnam.
 The funeral service and mass was held from Sacred Heart church, West Thompson, Tuesday morning, followed by burial in St. Mary's cemetery.
 Second Tragedy
 It was near this same spot that a double tragedy occurred a week pre- vious when Albert Anesty and Harry Peckford of Clovertown, N. F., were killed when an automobile in which they were riding plunged over the em- hankment near the bridge at an early hour Sunday morning.

it's duty for a period of several years. In the first scheme he suggests that the present l beams be renewed and heavier ones installed to comply with the law. This, he says. is not feasible or economical, as trusses themselves could not carry the required load, and he therefore suggests than an addition al floor beam in the center of each panel be installed. Strengthening trusses. he says. is out of the question, and must be supported from under meath.
 The second scheme Is similar 10 the first with the exception that instead of wood bents and longitudinal l beams, two light trusses would be used upon which the present and new intermedi- ate floor would rest. The trusses un- der the bridge would make more per manent solution and leave the water unobstructed. but the cost would be much greater.
 More Permanent Solution
 The report that the bridge is unsafe for any load has caused some uneasi- ness on the part of the selectmen and has raised a problem regarding the ne- cessity of closing the bridge for ve- hicuiar travel. 1t is understood that further investigation will be made re- garding this phase of the situation, and the future action of the board re- garding closing the bridge will then be determined.
 The selectTnen are also contemplat- ing further examination of the bridge so that they may have a clear state ment to make to the voters at the an- nual town meeting. It will finally be for the voters to say what shall be done to remedy the present situation.

Three judging teams entered con- tests at State Fair with teams from the other counties Tn the state. Six dairy club members, six poultry club members. and two girls in home-mak- ine proved themselves capable of hold ing their own against club members from other counties.
 Both the dairy and poultry judging teams averaged above the hall m num- her of points scored. which, though not remarkable. Is most encouraging. The high dairy judge was Howard John son of the Woodstock Junior Dairy Club. who tied for sixth place in the state Robert Oehrig of the Windham Center "Wideawakes" was high Judge of poultry on his team.
 Miss Katherine Mara of Windham's Iolly Cookers placed third in the judging of All articles of sewing,

 A baking powder biscuit demonstra- ion was given by the Misses Katherine Mara and Helen Thompkins from Windham's Jolly Cookers" They were so successful that the judges ate every biscuit while still hot The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and "Actions speak louder than words"
 Miss Lea Cuoghi gave a poultry de- monstration on the culling Of birds, for which she will receive ribbon.
 This is the first time teams have gone from this county to Hartford either 10 judge or demonstrate. With as little experience as they have had fl iv worthy of note that, without ex- ception. the teams averaged well above the half. showing the fine start for next year when results are looked for from Windham county.

Fox Avoids Faux
Pas and Resumes
FOxing Caprices

d. A. Fox, nrent Bismarck visitor,
has avoided a faux pas and is con-
tinuing his foxing caprices in the
vicinity of Butte, Mont, according
to information received by the Bur-
leigh county sheriff's office.
Arriving in Butte on the evening
of October 8, Fox passed several
worthless checks to oil stations and
clothiers there, married Miss Mae
E. Morris, Cheyenne, Wyo., regis
tered with his new wife at Butte
hotel, and deserted her the next
morning.
Leaving Bismarck in a stolen car,
Fox has stolen four other automo-
biles since he left North Dakota, at
Butte, Columbus, BLINDS, and Miles
City.
He passed a worthless check to
buy an overcoat, which he later
traded for some gasoline and cash.
He gave a worthless check in pur-
chasing some dresses for his wife.
Telling his wife that he feared
robbery in the hotel, he took all of
her money, Sis, for safekeeping, and
his wife hasn't seen him since. She
is working in Butte to get enough
money to pay her carfare back to
Cheyenne.
Fox entered Bismarck October
and passed some worthless checks,
one to Homer Bryan for the use of
an automobile, which he later stole.
Butte officials, confident of ar
resting the man, are continuing
search for him.
