The Indecent" conduct of the
Rutland young men, arrested on Wednes-
day, as reported to US was decidedly
shameful and outrageous. 1t seems they
entered a school house near the village,
drove out the scholars, attempted foul
assault upon the lady teacher, and then
besmeared the desks. Having accom-
plished this dirty work, they entered a
farmers house and grossly insulted his
wife, and then coming across an old man
and his wife in their sleigh, they upset
them into the snow, and maltreated
them in most disgusting manner
They are said to have been terribly in
toxicated at the time, and when they be-
came sensible of the criminality of their
doings fed across the mountains into
Windsor county, closely followed by
Deputy Sheriff Peabody of Pttsford,
who lily arrested them in the town of
Sharon. The name of the ringleader in
this brutal and extraordinary affair is
VIM. Leonard, alias VIM. Pratt.
= One dark night. two weeks ago,
stranger, with double team, containing
four grown people and three children,
passed the crossing by Hovey's mill, in
I
St. Johnsbury, and, by mistake, went
down the railroad cut The folks in c.
F. Deans house seeing them, ran out and
alarmed them, when they had proceeded
few rods. Just then, the evening train
whistled at Ely's new buildings, only 60
rods off. 1t was critical moment
| The track was narrow and the snow at
the sides deep. Charles Connolly caught
one horse by the bits, but the glare of the
approaching head light confused him,
and he refused to stir. Connolly then
gave him powerful blow, and knocked
him into the snow, and just as the sleigh
was rolled up the engine Numbered by,
grazing the side of it. Deans little girl
got upon the ground in the right moment
and seeing little girl pulled her from
the track, and both were covered with
snow thrown up by the pillow. This is
one of the narrowest escapes from ter
-ible accident. we have heard of in long
time.-Lyndon Union.
