A STOLEN SOPHOMORE.


The freshmen Mt the University are very
jubilant over their success in OBTAINING the
president of the class of '96 from accom-
panying his classmates to Montreal, where
they held their class banquet Friday evening.
A few weeks ago the freshmen got away for
their class supper in Rutland without any of
the sophomores mistrusting they were going
until after they had left. Since then they
have been on the lookout for the departure
OF the sophomores and at last discovered
that they were intending to leave some
time Thursday. One sophomore left
on the ) o'clock train Thursday. A
few freshmen who were at the depot, seized
and searched his baggage to see if they
could get any further clue TO their plans.
The sophs put on bland smile when it was
known that the freshmen had gained moth
ing.
The freshmen kept a sharp watch and
about % of them went to the depot about 3
o'clock Saturday morning and found about
half dozen sophomorcs waiting there. As
soon MS the train appeared the sophs made a
rush for it but were held back by the fresh
men. More sophs now commenced strag
Cling in. They were met by the '9I men
outside the depot and their baggage search
ed for menus, etc. Considerable talk was
INDUCED in until the 4:25 a. m. train ap-
peared, when posse of about a dozen sophs
rushed in from the back side of the depot
where they had been hiding, and attempted
to board the train. A general melee fol-
lowed As the president of the sopho-
more class was boarding the train he
was seized and hustled into closed car
riage which was in waiting. He shouted to
his comrades for help, but they were too
busy in getting aboard themselves to render
any assistance No other sophomore was
detained but nearly all of their umbrellas
were broken, about half dozen canes taken
away from them and part of their bag
gage detained. The team containing the
president drove away to parts unknown
after the train left 1t was understood that
the police were looking after the lost man
during the day. Posters Offering a
reward for the return of the class
president and some of the captured articles,
were scattered about the city during the
day.

A SUNDAY NIGHT FIRE.
Horse Barn and Contents, Including Four
Horses of r. NJ. Wolcott of Colchester
Burned,


Burned.
The horse barn of Fred NJ Wolcott of
Colchester was destroyed by fire Sunday
night There were two or three tons of hay
in the barn, four horses, wagons and farm
ing tools which were burned and totally
destroyed. The loss is estimated to be about
$1,000, and is fully covered by insurance,
which is placed through the agency
of General I. S. Peck of this city.
The loss has already received the
usual prompt attention. Mr.. Wolcott awoke
about midnight, and, looking out of the
window Of his room, saw his barn on fire.
Neither he nor his hired man smoke and
there was no combustble material in the
building so that Mr.. Wolcott is at loss to
understand how the fire could have orig
mated. He has eremies he says, but he
cannot believe any of them would be guilty
of destroying his property just for revenge.
Mr. Wolcott is one of the petit jurors at
this term of County Court.
