Telephone Wires Cut During Thursday
Night.


Last Thursday night people living near
the post office We're aroused by the bark
ing of a large dog and saw three men in
the street making what appeared in the
darkness mysterious motions, but in
perfect silence. After a time two of
them ran up on the piazza OF Swett's
store, when lady called out and asked
what they were doing. They left I'M
mediately, but in Jour or five houses the
ladies were too much frightened to sleep,
and so sat watching III the darkness.
Half an hour later two men came III
sight from near Mrs. Swett's barn. AT
ter some time they were asked again
what they wanted AS they passed one
place lady called out, Give an account
of yourself, Toe," and was promptly
answered by a volley of oaths. Finally
two men went out to look for them
and found the telephone wires cut and
cooled up near the hay scales. Neither
this nor other crimes should be passed
over lightly, but the offenders if known
should be brought to justice before still
greater crimes are attempted.

Well Known Farmer Killed by a
Horses Kick.

Horses Kick.
Luther Pike Cheney of this place met
with a sudden and violent death on Fri
day last While in the hay field and try
ing to lift a foot of one of the horses over
the trace, he was kicked in the breast,
and died soon after. He was the son OF
Dantorth and Lois Cheney, was born in
Waterford, Nov. 2, 1918. He was the
oldest of fourteen children, of whom nine
survive him. He married Mary E. Tag
CART December %, 1913; of their four
Belle Cheney, widow of Edward E.
Smith. Though Mr.. Cheney survived
the fatal blow for few minutes, henever
recovered consciousness. There was
probably an instant of wonder as to
what had happened, and then the glorles
of heaven burst upon his aston1shed
vision. He had been a resident of st.
Johnsbury for "a years, and by his sun
ny cheeriness which the mists of age had
no power to dim, by his transformations
charity, and by his kindly, sympathetic
heart, he had endeared himself to the
hosts OF friends who mourn his depart
ure. He had been the only sexton of
our little cemetery, and with but three
exceptions has stood by every open grave
there. He was devoted to every interest
OF the church, and was a man of great
public spirit. He died in the full posses
sion of his powers; no decay, no weari-
ness of old age upon him. no burdens
from impaired health; fresh, genial,
vigorous; his work was completed.
There is no sadness in such death. His
funeral was held on Sunday crowded
house testified to the great love and es-
TEEN with which the community regarded
him. Rev. A. F. Hertel preached from
II: Samuel i:25, How are the mighty
fallen in the midst of the BATTLE" and
paid eloquent tribute to the sterling quail
ties of the man who had been suddenly
caught up into heaven The floral of
terings were many and beautiful. There
were palms sent by Col. Franklin Fair
banks, an exquisite wreath from "his
Glass; and many other ernblems of re-
spect and affection. The bereaved family

SOUTH RYEGATE.
of ANDREW GiIfiIIau

Andrew Gilfllan passed away suddenly
on Sabbath evening, July 10th, IN his
18th year. The previous Sabbath he was
at church, and retired at night in usual
health. Sometime in the night he had
a bad spell, and had hard fall, and 1T is
supposed had shock. He was sick just
a week and suffered much, but never a
murmur passed his lips. He was the sixth
son of David Gilhllan, who settled in Bar
net nearly 100 years ago. There were
seven sons in the family and every one
had sister" OF this family only two
survive-Robert in Burke, and John in
Bloomington. Educational advantages
were very limited. but these children re-
ceived q training which fitted them for
their 1ifework, and it was well and faith
fully done. Hewing out house from
the primeval forest and supporting a
family required strong arms and brave
hearts. Andrew, with five of his brothers,
spent many years in Orleans county and
cleared hundreds of acres of forest land ;
the rugged labor seemed to attract them.
Andrew married Elizabeth Nelson OF
Ryegate Feb. oath, 1916. They moved
to South Ryegate "a years ago. Long
were they spared to each other and short
was their separation, Mrs. Gilfllan dying
on the 18th of last October. w n. G1lhl-
Ian is their only child. Honest, faithful,
thorough, with strong love of all that is
good and true, with a dislike of sham
and fraud too great for expression, MIR.
Gilfillan has passed to his reward, not
wealthy, but rich in that priceless treas
ure, "a good name"
