RleuSED TIE JUDGE.

Nlin''4 SAC LA N, 0wn Ideas About
fe'iiuy II tory.
Very funny things happen sometimes
in q courtroom. II cannot be expected
that witnesses will always understand
how they should answer questions, and
they are occasionally responsible for
very amusing incidents Any trouble
with them is generally due to the law
ycrs on the opposite side, although
there have been instances where the
judge has been responsible for the
gravity Of the courtroom being dis
turbed.
There is a certain Judge in this coun-
try who is noted for his unfailing
courtesy TO lawyers, prisoners ind wit
nesscs, and yet, on one occasion, he had
to undergo rebulSc bya negro in open
court for what the latter looked upon
as rudcnesS
A murder case was being tried before
this judge, and the states attorney had
negro ON the witness stand who had
seen the shooting
The negro became intensely inter
estcd IN the story he was telling. Ills
big eyes were fixed upon the LAWYER
who was questioning him, and he
seemed to think there was no other
person in the Groom, Ilcwas trembling
with excitement, so much so that he
ssammered, and he told his story as If
he was having strictly private and
confidential conversation with the
states attorney.
'An den, boss he said in solemn
and awc-struck tones, "j-j-jes ez
we're a-comin roun' de cornal sab, |
seen him long o de lamp pos. ="
"What time was this?' asked the
judge.
The witness paused just fora second,
us II something had disturbed him;
but then, without turning his head he
went ON;
"J-j-jes as | war a-comin' roun' de

The judge raped the desk before
him smartly with his gavel
stop he said 1.-The court is ask

you come around the corncr?'
Again the witness stopped and made
motion with his hand as II he were

The Road Races.

Indications point to most successful
road meet next Saturday. 1t is expected
that the number covering the ten miles,
from here to North Bennington and re-
turn will be large, as nearly all of the
fast riders of the town and several from
out of town have already entered, and
new entries are being received daily.
Rutland and Manchester have been heard
from and it is expected that nearly all of
the near by towns will be represented.
There will be eight or ten prizes in all,
one half of them to be awarded as time
prizes, for those covering the course in
the shortest time, and the other half as
place prizes, for those first reaching the
finish. In order to give all an equal OPP
portunity of winning prize, this will
be handicap race.
From the number and character of the
entries some exciting races and good
sport is insured. The start and finish
will be on the main street, probably near
the Putnam square. Five o'clock in the
afternoon is the time for starting.
Entries close next Thursday night. All
are invited to participate. Entry blanks
may be obtained of any of the Club
members.

OBITUARY.
Fred m. Thomas,

The announcement of the death last
Friday evening of Fred NJ. Thomas,
while not surprise was a shock to the
community who had hoped against hope
that he might recover from the effects
of the operation that he underwent a
week before, and which was the direct
cause of his death.
Mr.. Thomas was born in White Creek,
N. Y, thirty-seven years ago A greater
portion of his life had been spent in this
town, either at Bennington Falls or in
this village. For several years he was in
the grocery business, in the firm of
Thomas & Lake in the building now oc-
cupied by John V. Hall & Son.
When William Campbell came here
and started his mill Mr.. Thomas went to
work for him, and beginning at the lower
round worked his way up to the posi-
ton of superintendent. He was highly
esteemed, not only by all connected with
the mill, but by all who knew him.
Mr.. Thomas was one of the eleven
charter members of the Stark Hose Com
pany and is the first one of the number
to be taken away. His is also the first
death of an active member since the
company was organized. He took an
active interest in the affairs of the com
pany and for the past four years was It's
president.
The funeral was largely attended from
his late residence on Washington street
Monday morning, Rev. Chas. r. Sey-
mour conducting the services. A quar-
tette composed of E. E. Long, Chas. II.
Bennett, Edward c. Bennett and II. l.
Norton sang Lead Kindly Light and
'Still, Still With Thee" Stark Hose
Company attended in body in uniform,
and there was large delegation of en-
ployees from Campbell's mill.
The floral tributes were many. Stark
Hose sent a handsome emblem in the
shape of five pointed star. The en-
ployees of Campbel's mill sent broken
wheel resting against pillar of roses.
The remains were taken to North Ben
nington for interment, being accompan-
led by Chief Engineer Tiffany and as
sistants and the Stark Hose. The
bearers were: A. W. Braisted, c. H.
Barnes, c. F. VanVleck, F. o, Graves,
Geo. Matthews, Harry T. Cush man, all
members of Sark Hose. Mr.. Thomas
leaves wife, the daughter of ]. O. BanUS
of North Bennington. One day last week
the father of Mr.. Thomas was over to
see him. After his return home, in the
evening, he fell and broke one leg, this
accident preventing his attendance at
the funeral.

HIs Roll Of RIIIs Wont Q utdoors.

Among the many out-of-town persons
who came to this city to- celebrate the
Fourth was N. G. Colvin of North Ben
nington. During the day he is said to
have been in several public resorts, where
he displayed large roll of bills and
boosted of his wealth. He made the ac-
quaintance of William Lillis, young
man of the upper part of the city. The
pair was at the Revere House about 8
o'clock in the evening. Colvin waved
aloft roll of bills said to contain S153.
While he was displaying his money, it is
charged, Lillis seized the roll and dashed
out of the door. Lillis was taken into
custody. In police court this morning
Colvin failed to appear and Lillis was
discharged.-Troy Times, Friday.

The Special Village Meeting.

There was much larger attendance at
the special meeting this afternoon than
at either of the two former meetings, to
consider the question of purchasing the
Water Works.
The first business was the reading of
the report of the Commissioners, which
has already appeared in pamphlet form
and distributed through the village.
Following this, Maj. A. B. Valentine,
for the Water Commissioners, presented
the following resolutions: Resolved
That the Village of Bennington purchase
the corporate rights, franchises and
other property of the Bennington Water
Company, in pursuance of Section - of
the charter of said Company.
There was some discussion on the res
olutions, A. P. Childs speaking against,
w. B. Sheldon, Richard NJ. Houghton
and Olin Scott in favor
Upon the call of question, it was de-
cided to vote by ballot and that the
check list be used. John V. Carney, A.
j. Dewey, L. P. Norton were appointed
tellers. The result of the vote was as
follows: Yes, 92; No, 1876.
Following the announcement of the
vote, A. B. Valentine presented the fol
lowing:
Resolved, That the Board of Water
Commissioners be discharged from any
further duties in the purchase of the
Water Works.
The resolution was carried almost
unanimously, and the meeting adjourned.

Fell From a Window.

A man who gave his name as joe
Lally and his residence at North Dorset,
went to the Frear House, Troy, about
noon Friday as a guest. He requested
the clerk to register for him. Late in
the afternoon he went to his room, No.
"a. Shortly before o'clock the cook
found him lying in narrow area be-
tween the hotel and the barn in its rear.
He had fallen from the second story win
dow to the brick pavement below. His
face was covered with blood but he was
not unconscious and was able to walk in
to the hotel. DR.. Mclean was sum-
moned and afterward the ambulance,
and Lally, who is about 60 years old, was
taken to the Troy hospital. 1t was
found that he had sustained severe
scalp wound, but no broken bones. He
fell about 30 feet and his escape from
more serious injury is considered re.
markable. He is resting quietly and
will recover. 1t is thought that while
leaning from the window he became dir
zy and lost his balance.
The latest reports are chat Lally, who
is in the Troy hospital, is improving and
will be out in few days.
