The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1893-09-13

REV. A. II. WEBB, pastor of Trinity
church, leaves no opportunity to speak
word of cOmmendaton for the Kelley
treatment go unimproved. In recent SER
mon at the camp-ground at Northheld he
referred to this subject. He said that in the
past, when asked by those cursed with the
drink disease what to do, he had urged them
to turn to God; now he could conscien
tiously advise them to take the Keeley treat
ment, for he believed in that way they were
truly turning to God. His sermon on this
occasion made a strong impression on all
who heard it, and his practical view OF the
Kelley treatment shows him to be possessed
of sound Judgment as well as an eloquent
tongue.
AN individual who registered at the Ex-
change Hotel as A. Kimball, Lowell, Mass,
arrived in town last week Tuesday evening.
Acting under instructions from Sheriff
Charles o. Hurlburt of Lebanon, n. H.,
Policeman Hunt arrested the man Thursday
evening. He is wanted at Newport Deba-
non and Laconia, n. H., for defrauding
hotel keepers, and for the more serious
crime of horse stealing. He has recently
stolen teams from Newport and Laconia
The one taken from the latter place was re-
covered at Sharon, Vt. Sheriff Hurlburt
arrived in town Thursday evening, and
| took Kimball to Lebanon Friday morning.
He consented to accompany the officer with
out requisition papers

ELMER CUMMINGS of Barre, to whom ref
erence was made last week for his disgrace
| full conduct in the Lewis cemetery on re-
| cent Sunday, called at the WATCHMAN
Office last week, and characterized as false
! every statement that was made regarding
| himself. He denies that he was intoxicated,
that any one was with him when he was
there on Sunday lettering a monument, or
that Frank Lawrence or any one else was in
the cemetery with lady while he was there
at work. He explained the cause of the
Root monument remaining tipped over so
| long by saying that after they were ready
to letter it an error in the inscription that
was to be cut was discovered, and it was
necessary to postpone the work until that
was rectified. The facts as stated last week
were given to the loc al editor of the WATCH
man by Warren Ellis, who lives in that To-
cality, aud on whom at present rests the
burden of proof of his statements.
