THE BENNINGTON BANNER, FRIDAY. MARCH 8. 1894

Thaddeus Brownell, who were to fight a
| duel with revolvers, were reheaTsing
their parts when a ball from Bates S
pistol struck Brownell in the side, but
fortunately struck hard substance in
the clothing and Brownell escaped with
only slight abrasion of the skin, whi;h
is quite sore, but not at all serious.
Bates supposed he was using blank car
tridges
Before the town meeting, there was a
caucus" Monday evening, in answer
to call published by posting" and
signed by committee, not as individuals
but collectively, in a bunch, by means of
the phrase, 'by order of the committee"
Who composed this COMMITTEE" no
nounced that its number was Fifteen"
and then the question took the form of
an enigma, recalling game, which a
few years ago, puzzled everybody, and
even made some "crazy," called the "15
puzzle" But when the time came for
the meeting" the mystery began to
evolve truly, when one, armed with the
"calr' in his hand, called the caucus"
to order and acted as Chairman to
"chooss a Moderator" A move was
then made in the game which was rev.
elation of its secrets. Of course this
meeting in all of its details was a worry
primitive one. Although seats were pro-
Yided, everyone preferred to stand on his
feet, and yhen the meeting was
called to order, it seemed to be sin or
der" to yell as loud as one could. The
"call' was for illegal voters" but boys
had as much to say and filed as much
space as the men. Everybody seemed to
be trying to key his voice up to the
"pitch" of the Moderator's voice. OF
course individuals were in some respects
very demonstrative as they often are in
primitive" meetings. A few were very
inuocGtiue. The Moderator, too, by the
raising of the palms of his hands heaven
ward by his frequent genudections,
by turning his face eastwardly, suggested
that he might have "Islamitic" tenden-
cies, insinuating, that in Pownal politics,
there is one Allah, and his future proph-
ct is me, The town meeting Tuesday
was of course sequence of the eau
GUS" and little time was required to
make our annual election of town officers,
and be it said to the credit of all con-
cerned, notwithstanding our "extrava-
gances" in manners and forms" which
some may call grotesque, our choice of
officers was good one, as will readily
appear by your town lists, and will af-
ford perhaps key to the Pownal puz-
zle of 80" AJAX.
