THE HANOVER MURDER.

Amy, the murderer of Christie
Warden at Hanover, n H., is still
at large-or at least his whereabouts
are yet unknown to the authorities,
in spite of a great deal Of effort on
their part. The failure to get hold
of any clue to his hiding-place during
all these days since the commission
of the fearful crime lends additional
force to the belief that Amy has
suicided and that sooner or later his
body will be found, If indeed there
is nothing to this supposition, and
the murderer is still alive, the failure
to find him is hard to explain, for it
would seem rather difficult thing
for such a criminal to successfully
elude for so long a time the vigilance
Of the law in these times Of rapid
communica ton. Since our last issue
a number of suspected persons have
been arrested in various places. but
no one of them has proved to be the
much-wanted Almy. One thing is
certain-too much time was allowed
to elapse between the hour of the
crime and the beginning of
thorough search for the murderer,
and whether or not an accomplice
was in waiting to carry him away,
Amy thus had altogether too
good a start on his pursuers. 1t is
to be hoped that ere many dayspas
the whereabouts of the murderer
may be revealed, and that if he is
taken alive he may receive the pun
ishment which he so richly deserves.

DEATH OF AN EX-GOVERNOR

Ex-Gov. Paul Dillingham; of Water
bury died on Sunday evening last, at
the advanced age of 90 years. He
was the oldest living ex-governor of
Vermont and had held a prominent
place in connection with state affairs.
He was born in ShutesDury. Mass,
August 10, 1899, and was the. seventh
child of a family of seven sons and
five daughters, his grandfathe hav-
ing been a soldier in the ''old French
War" and his father serving val
iantlv in the war of the revolution.
The ex-governor came to Waterbury
when six years old, and had ever
since resided there, honored by all
who knew him; he was admitted to
the bar in 1882, and for many years
led the profession in Vermont, having
great power over juries; was origin
ally democrat, but declared him
self republican in 1861; was elect
ed to Congress in 1913; lieutenant
governor in 1862; inaugurated as
governor in October, 1865, and was
called upon to make two appoint
ments of U. S. senators to fill vacan-
cies caused by the deaths of Senators
Collamer and Foot-Hon L. P.
Poland Of this town being one of
the appointees. Seven children of
Gov. Dillingham; reached maturity,
and he had the satisfaction. of seeing
one son, William P, take position as
governor Of the state. Deceased
was man who filled all high posi-
tions we'll and had ever at heart the
interests of the nation and state.

DEVELOPING ALASKA.

Lieut.. Glave, who was with
Stanley, and who has recently been
exploring the Alaskan country, sees
favorable prospects for the develop
ment of that unknown and hitherto
inaccessible part of the continent.
He bases his hope in this regard on
the fact that transportation by pack
horse has been proved practicable
there, and thinks nothing can now
prevent Alaska's assuming a impor-
tant position in the commercial
world, sinceit has wonderful mineral
resources. Glave draws an inviting
picture of that region where, he says,
after the difficult barriers have been
crossed, "a splendid country is reach
ed, with deep, swift streams and
lakes we'll stocked with fish and, fine
pasture and wild fruits in abund-
ance"
If Alaska has so much to contri-
butte to the already great reputation
of this country of ours, the more
rapidly the developing process is
carried on there the better.

SIX-INCH TROUT.

Occasionally, through the news
papers, the public are informed of the
infection and payment of a fine for
catching trout in violation of that
wonderfully constructed law which
requires the speckled beauties to be
at least six inches long before they
tumble into the sportsman's basket
or take position on his ''string."
But such infections of the penalty
are rare; and when one in strolling
about among these mountain brooks
meets with numerous long strings
and heavy baskets of trout wherein
the six-inch species are in a large
minority, he is led to regard that
particular statute as a very dead
letter. 1t is safe to say that no law
on the books appeals less to the con-
science Of the average citizen, or is
less regarded as worthy of strict
obedience than this same six-inch
clause of the fish laws of the state.
Those unfortunates who have paid
the fine for doing what the law said
they must not, are in a position to
be talked to as were the occupants
of certain jail some years since. A
company of gospel-workers were
holding services in the jail, when one
of the would-be doors of good adj
dressed the prisoners in the following
candid way: "Yon are no worse
than the rest of us, boys; but the
trouble is you have been found out
and we haven't"

Governor Page told a Free Press
man the other day that there was no
limit to the business that could be
done at the extra session of the legis-
lature; that in his message he should
call attention to the two important
subjects which had made an extra
session advisable, and possibly to
the matter of further appropria-
ton for the worlds fair; that he
should probably appoint Senator
Edmunds' successor as early as Aug
ust %; and that he was in favor of
using the direct tax fund for educa-
tional purposes.

There is something a triHe chilly
about recent weather reports from
North Dakota. where light frosts
appeared during last week. Forum
atelv, grain was not injured; but
frosts in July seem considerably out
of place and naturally tend to make
the farmer somewhat uneasy. The
general outlook for crops out that
way is excellent, if late reports are
to be relied upon.

months. He is now at New Bedford

thing but encouraging.

were futile, as it appeared that the
friends of the pugilists had the law
on their side and that nothing could
prevent disgraceful fight. But just
about week before the affair was
to come off some of the clergy and
officers Of the Y. NJ. c. A. reused up
and started petition to prevent it.
Some lawyer with a good memory
looked the law up and found clause
that forbade all kinds of sparring
contests, with or without gloves.
With the law on their side they
were very jubilant and the result
was that the governor called out
the militia to suppress the contest,
should they endeavor to carry it
through.
But the funny part remains to be
noticed. The same law, by its
bungling construction, makes the
most innocent use of the gloves for
physical exercise a criminal act, and
as boxing has been constantly
taught and practiced in the Y. NJ. c.
A. by its officers and members
they are as guilty as the worst prize
fighter.
Minnesota's eXecuti tive officers are
all right; it is her legislators that
need looking after.

THE MINNESOTA PRIZE FIGHT.

About two months ago the Mime
sofa Athletic club arranged for a
prize fight between Bob Fitzsim-
mons of Australia and Jim Hall for
a purse of $4,000, offered by the
club. Nothing was said against the
proposed match and all the arrange
ments had been completed, including
the erection of a large auditorium
capable of seating 5000 people, fitted
with 10 private wires for the use of
the press. All protests to the mayor

PROCTOR THE NAN.

Ever since the resignation of Sena-
tor Edmunds in April the people of
Vermont have been wondering whom
Gov. Page would appoint as his
successor Almost Immediately
there were a number of candidates
mentioned, nearly a score of them in
fact, but good many newspapers
and great many citizens believed
that Secretary Proctor ought to be
appointed and so declared them
selves soon after Mr. Edmunds'
resignation was announced. This
feeling has grown stronger ever
since and Secretary Proctor is today
by far the strongest candidate in
the race. The appointment will
probably be made just before the
special session of the legislature,
which will be called the last week in
August, and it is generally believed
that our present secretary of war will
be called upon to resign an office he
has so we'll filled to accept another
for which his long experience in
public life so well qualities him.
Gov. Page will make an excellent ap-
pointment if he names Hon. Redfeld
Proctor as the successor of Hon.
George F. Edmunds, and such
decision will meet with the heartiest
approval of all.

The gift was a fitting testimonial to

The death of the late Geo. W.

that town. The records say Daniel
Cahoon, ST., was one Of the original

papers in 1888. His son Daniel, jr.,
that year came up and dropped the
first trees. Another son, William,
came in 1875 and settled on the falls
where the Hall mill stands. Daniel,
jr., died in 1898, and the Cahoon
race of Lyndon descends from Will
liam who was for many of the
first years the most prominent man
in town, holding the office of town
clerk for years, between 1905 and
1912, state counsellor four years,
judge of the county court several
years, lieu tenant-governor in 1920
21, and representative in congress
from 1929 till his death in 1888.
