THREE SAVAGE HORSES.
"PrOr." o. II. Gleason VIII Attempt to
Conquer Them Before Going Abroad.

prof" o. II. Gleason VIII Attempt to
Conquer Them Before Going Abroad.
prof" O. r. Gleason, the Jamaica boy
who has won a reputation as the greatest
trainer of wild horses in America, has
made arrangements for a trip abroad, but
before leaving he will attempt more won
derful feat than has ever been performed.
His managers, Milbank d Sombrey, have
secured New England and the British
provinces for the most vicious horses they
could find. They have secured three saw
age horses, pronounced by their owners
unmanageable and untamable. These vi
cious brutes Prof. Gleason agrees TO meet,
"subdue, conquer and break" inside of 12O
minutes. The managers will pay him
$1,000 if he succeeds; if he should fail, he
will get nothing.
One of the horses was called by its fond
owner Gypsy Girl, but was soon better
known as the Vermont Terror A more
vicious mare has never been seen in Bos-
ton. The Burlington Demon is a 9-year-
old, feared and hated by every man who
has ever attempted TO put a bride on him.
Robert r., now Owned in Ontario, has a
bad record. There is no bad trait known
to the horse family that this dangerous
beast does not possess. He is strong, ugly
and treacherous, and has never met his
master
Armed expert revolver marksmen will at
once dispatch any one of these ferocious
horses should it be found necessary 10 dc
so to save Gleason. This remarkable ex-
hibition will take place at the Mechanics
building in Boston, Dec. /.

FRED II. HARRIS.

The death of Frederick II. Harris, which
the community had known to be imminent
for several weeks past, took place at his
home on Oak street last Saturday evening.
An affection of the heart seems to have
been hereditary in his family, his two
brothers having died from this cause.
Some three or four years ago the disease
developed in Mr.. Harris, and after more or
less acute attacks from time to time in
September last he was seized with the final
prostrating attack which he has borne with
remarkable cheerfulness and fortitude.
Mr.. Harris was the son of Erastus Har-
ris, a well known citizen of Chesterfield,
n. H., and was born in that town Jan. 26,
1926. His education was received in the
common schools and in the old Chesterfield
academy on the hill. In 1852 he went to
California by way of the Isthmus, in com
pany with his two brothers, Thatcher Per
ry, and others, where he remained about
three years and then returned home. In
1860 he removed to Brattleboro and this
has since been his home. Besides his
| brother, Francis W., a prominent and
| highly esteemed citizen of Brattleboro, who
died here May Il, 1876, and Warren S.,
who died in Fitchburg, Mass, about two
years ago, he had three sisters the eldest
of whom, the wife of Rev. Josiah Marvin,
died in st. Paul, Mimi, in 1858. The
other two survive him. In October, 1858,
Mr.. Harris married Abbie A. NJ. Daggett
of WesUmoreland, N, II. Two children
were born TO them, Charles A, now treas.
urer of the Brattleboro savings bank, and
a daughter, Julia, who died in 1868, aged
about four years.
Mr.. Harris's chief occupation was that Of
a builder which he followed successfully
for many years. His most prominent work
in Brattleboro was the construction of the
new High school building, for which hi
and o. II. Buttertield were the contractors
At one time he was engaged on large con
tracts for the erection of stations and othe
buildings for new railroads then being Duil
in Canada and in Michigan.
In his personal characteristics Mr.. Harri
was man of genial nature, of deep feel
ing, and spontaneous sympathy Few wer
so sure as he to find the bright side of an,
perplexing or distressing situation, an,
none was quicker to excuse the faults o
another and find the good in every one
To these qualities he united a steadfas
, adherence to what he believed to be right
In his religious faith he was a Universe
list, and in his death the Brattleboro SC
ciety loses a stanch ard devoted supporter
To his family and intimate friends tn
+ perfect calmness and unfailing cheerfulnes
with which he contemplated the end whic
, he knew TO be inevitable will always abid
! a comforting and inspiring memory.
The funeral was held at the house Tues
, day afternoon, when a very large compan
of neighbors and of the business men {
the town gathered to pay their last tribut
of respect, The services were performe
by Rev. f. w. Sprague, and +. II. Mile
