THE SHEEP BREEDERS

Hold Their Annual Meeting at Middlebury
Attendance Small, and the Interest at
Low Ebb.
THE eighteenth annual meeting Of the
Vermont Sheep Breeders ASS citation was
held at Middlebury last Wednesday. Ow-
ing, no doubt, to the depressed condition OF
the sheep-raising industry in Vermont, the
attendance was the smallest in the history
of the society. The office of secretary went
begging because of the reduction OF the
salary to $500, but Mr.. Chapman was finally
prevailed upon to accept it. The associa-
ton was in session less than two hours.
The following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: President, Harry e. Sanford
Of West Cornwall; first vice-president, j. j.
Crane of Bridport; second vice-president,
Charles Remele of Middlebury secretary,
Charles III. Chapman of Ferrisburgh; treas
urer, Fred HI. Harrington of Brandon; di-
rectors, Cyrus H. Smith of Town Line.
Byron Smith of Addison, Ira l.. Hamlin of
Cornwall and V. V. Blackmer of Orwell;
committee on pedigrees, Edgar N. Bissell Of
East Shoreham, q. P. Crane Of Bridport and
Louis A. Skiff Of Middlebury.

DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.

The Desperadoes Compel the Engineer to
Assist Them.
THE south. bound Cotton Belt train was
held up near Mcneil, Ark, last Thursday
night. by two desperadoes, who looted the
station, but the train was signaled to stop.
1t ia thought that tho two men got on here
in the brief interval that the train stopped.
About one mile south Of the station the en-
gineer was told to stop his train. He obeyed
instructions, and, upon being commanded
to accompany the.robbers to the express
car, did so. The engineer was compelled at
the point OF a revolver to ask the express
messenger for admittance to the car. Once
inside the work was quickly done. The
amount taken from the safe is not known.
Railroad men have no details and refuse to
say whether the amount of money taken out
from Memphis was large.
