The WESTON ARSON CAsE.-We made
brief mention last week of the arrest
of one Arson Howard, charged with
burning hotel owned by him, and the
house of G. w. Sprague in Weston, in
the winter of 1912. He is latterly
said to have lived in Londonderry. The
motives ascribed to Howard for commit
ting the arson are to obtain the insur-
ance on his own property, and crafty
his hatred of Sprague. A "war wild
ow," with whom he had been consorting,
but had recently dropped for new
DEAL" peached on him, and he is now in
Jail at Woodstock. He is the same fell
low that stole a horse and sold il on the
Fair Grounds at Rutland, during the
late State Fair, but OBJ aiming bail on his
arrest, has since been at large.
From an account in the Rutland
Globe it appears, that before the build
ings we're burnt he engaged two other
persons to do the job for him, but that
one failed because he got too drunk, and
the boy because he relented. Howard
was residing at North Londonderry at
the time and carried the boy, named Al
bee, in cask and deposited him in the
barn where the fire was to be started,
and among the incidents of this per-
formance was that he at first placed the
cask wrong end up thus laying the boy
head down of which he gave notice be-
fore Howard left, when the cask was
turned and left. When the dark hour
arrived for darker deed, the boy burst
his Trojan she'll and fearing to apply the
torch, wendell bis way home, and some
time sfterward Howard set the fire him.
self. This boy is now one of the wit.
nesses in the case which appears very
strong against Howard, who procured
bail last fall by his mother mortgaging
her farm. Witherell who was with him
in the horse case last fall, is now in Jail
at Newfane and will probably be tried
the present term.

The school superintendent Election
at New Haven.

EDITOR OF BELLOWS FALLS TINES
In your paper OF last week FRIDAY.
April 100 notice slight disregard for,
and more than all, complete transver-
sion of the facts relating to our late cleo
ton OF superintendent of common
schools.
Capt A. E. Leavenworth is the man
who has been our superintendent for
years, and he is the gentleman who, con-
trary TO the wishes OF the voters of our
town, was ousted by clique of ten or
twelve men, S. b. M. Cowles never has
been chosen to fill that flee. Being the
candidate of this secretly organized band
of very select few of our voters, he was
nominated and declared elected, to fill
the chair of inspector OF public in
struction." Why this phrase was used
your readers can best imagine for them
selves. And in behalf of our town al
low me to say that Capt. Leavenworth
would have continued to hold his office
had ballot been called FOR and the
voice of the people heard.
With high sense of honor, and with
such sterling integrity and manliness of
character as Capt. Leavenworth, no man
could ever be suspected of accepting a
" nomination made in low tone of
voice and one not heard by a MAORI
ty Of the voters present"
But such nomination was made, but
by the opposing party and while Capt.
LIS friends were not on the alert. Hence
his temporary removal from a chair
which S. B. M. Cowles illegally occupies.
At our next election we may expect to
see Capt. L. reinstalied for we feel duty
bound to support man who is so widely
known as an able and efficient instruct
or, and who, as superintendent of our
common schools, has always merited our
commentator and esteem.
If you will insert these lines in your
paper you will correct gross mistake,
and justify those who desire fair play"
