war, and the president considered him one
If his most valuable aids among the war
governors of the north Like Linsoln,
Frederick Holbrook is a man of the plain
people. He was born in Warehouse Point
Conn, Feb. 10, 1918, and was the son of
John Holbrook and Sarah Knowlton Hol-
brook, who were among the earliest set
tiers of Brattleboro.
Young Holbrook's early life was passed
upon his fathers farm, and although his
educational advantages were meager no
read and studieda great deal at home. Ho
became contributor to the leading asri-
cultural papers of the day, and his CON
slant writing gave him clear and force
full style that showed to advantage later
in his state papers and letters. 1t is said
that Secretary Stanton once remarked
that Governor Holbrook' S letters were
among the best of the day, and that after
reading one of them he always knew ex-
actly what the governor meant.
Holbrook' S early training led him to be
one of the Originators of the Vermont
State Agricultural society and made him
well known to an immense number Of
Vermonters even before he sought guber-
Material honors. For quarter Of cen
fury he has been president of the Vermont
Savings bank and for AZ years he has been
a trustee of the Vermont State asylum.
When he became governor in October,
1861, he recommended that one-half the
war expenses be paid by direct taxation
and that the remainder be funded on long
term bonds. The Legislature followed his
advice, ana Vermont was the first state,
it is said, to complete the payment of her
war debt. After the battle of Antietam
Governor Holbrook wrote to President
Lincoln suggesting that he ask the north
for 900, 600 more men, and shortly there
after the president issued his call for 300,-
900. Governor Holbrook was very active
in raising troops. and Vermont sent four
regiments under the nine months call.
She also sent the first regiment under tho
three years call, and all her soldiers were
volunteers

THE LEADER KILLED
A Fight With the Rock
Island Robbers.
OTHERS ESCAPED TO THE WOODS
Tho Dead Man Fully Identified An
Aggregate Reward OF $4,000 Out
for Him--Other Rewards.

HENNEssEY, o. T., April 5.-Part of
the posse in pursuit of the bandits who
robbed the Rock Island train near
Dover, Wednesday night, came upon the
gang thirty-five miles west of Hennessey
at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
A fight ensued in which one of the
robbers was killed and others wounded.
As soon as the robbers were sighted the
Deputies jumped from their horses and
used them as breastworks. While the
robbers made an attempt to retreat two
of their horses were shot from under
them and one man was killed. An
others leg was broken, but he managed
to get on his horse; another was badly
hit, but be too succeeded in getting
away. The marshals gave chase to the
retreating outlaws and finally cornered
them in a bunch of timber about two
miles from the scene of the battle. A
waiting game is being played as the out
laws must have food and water.
The dead man was brought to Hen
nessey at IL O'Clock last night, and has
been positively identified as Dick Yea
ger, alias Gyp Wyatt, on whose head
there is an aggregate reward of over
$1,000, including 81 900 offered yester-
day for each of the robbers by the Rock
Island. He was identified by United
States Marshal Graves and 6. G. Krepps,
q farmer who was acquainted with
Wyatt. He was also identified as one of
the Dover robbers by the entire crew
this morning as they passed here. Con-
ductor Mack says he was the leader.
In his possession was found the sack the
porter was compelled to hold while the
passengers deposited their valuables in

Williams sim in Havana.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Surprise is ex-
pressed in diplomatic circles that United
States Consul-General Williams still
continues to discharge official functions
at Havana. More than a month. ago
Spain requested his recall because of his
alleged sympathy with the insurrection.
1t is now understood that Spain has
made another demand for change at
Havana. There is no probability, how
ever, that Williams will for the present
be recalled. Possibly the delay of Spain
in replying to Gresham's note may ac-
count for the delay in accedipg to SPAIN IS
request for the removal of Williams.

The Jury I'm the Taylor Case Discharged.
CARRoLLToN, Mo-, April 5.-The jury,
in the Taylor case came into court at
9 80 this morning, and reported that
they could not agree. The jury stood
seven for conviction and five against.
The judge thereupon discharged them.
At 9 80 the jury was brought into the
courtroom, and Judge Rucker asked
Gentlemen, is there any prospect that
you will agree on a verdict?"
"None whatever" replied Foreman
George Fleming.
''What do you say?" asked the Judge.
"There is no show whatever" replied
several jurymen.
''Do you stand now as you stood from
the first?' asked the judge.
The foreman replied: "The first bal
lot was seven for conviction and FIVE for
acquittal, and the result remained un-
changed during all future ballots"
Judge Rucker ordered the clerk to en-
ter disagreement and discharged the
jury, and continued the case till the
next term of court. AS the jurors filed
out they were Missed, hooted and reviled
by people gathered about the court
house. It is the general opinion here
that Carroll county, has been disgraced
by the five jurors who stood out for ac-

Smith, an insane patient, was brought

throat cut. Some four weeks ago Smith
slashed himself with razor while de-
mented, cutting through the Iarynx and
into the windpipe. Physicians sewed
up the wound which is about four inches
long, but on Tuesday Smith secured an
old jackknife and sawed open the old
wound. The cut now presents a horri-

old wound having healed some. Smith
now has to breathe through the hole in
his neck and can only speak by placing
his hands over the opening and pressing
the edges of the cut together, and then
