LAND-HIS LATEST ARREST.
Another move in the warfare against
II. w. Love of Rutland was enacted
Friday night. About eleven p. M,
Love was arrested by Police Albert
Matthews (the Bardwell house portrr)
and hustled to the village lookup.
where he was confined, and Matthews
thereupon secreted himself, so that al
though search was made for him by
friends of Love for the purpose of hav-
ing the justice bail him, Matthews
could not he found nor the warrant on
which the arrest was made. Tie war
rant was IA criminal charge of black
mail, prosecuted by Grand Juror Spell
man, and returrable before Justice
Bailey. Several gentlemen were wait
ing nearly all night, ready to go be-
fore the Justice to bail Love, and JUS
tlce Bailey said he was ready at mo-
ment's notice to take the bail. About
five o'clock Judge Neazey of the Su-
preme court issued writ of habeas
corpus, directed to Chief of Police
Mead, who had Il key to the lookup,
and Love was brought before Judge
Neazey and pending the hearing on the
labeas corpus was placed in the custo-
dy of b. w. Mar shall, and later in the
morning the hearing was adjourned till
Thursday next, Love being released
on bail. Grave charges are made
against the arresting officer and the
grand juror as to the regularity of the
issuing of the warrant. Pending the

a correspondent of the st. Adams
Messenger writes of a refuge for un-
willing taxpayers, known as .No-

the lister is unknown and the collector
never comes. 1t Is situated where the
corners of five towns, Stockbridre.
Sherburne, MendOn, Chittenden and

they do not, and consequently the peo-

While temperance people are not
disposed to look with complacency on
the license system, it is gratifying in
dication that in cities and towns in the
west, where licenses are granted, there
is a disposition to fix the price for
granting them at high figure, which
j. more consistent with the claims of
license men for their system.
