Physicians along the Vermont border
have again been notified that they will
not be allowed to practice medicine in
the province of Quebec unless they COM
ply with the provincial law, which re.
quireS years study in some Canadian
college. The enforcement of this law is
inCOnvenient to the Canadians living
near the line who have always employed
American physicians, not perhaps as a
matter of choice, but of necessity and to
the saving of large expense.
Another place in Vermont where deer
are said to be plentiful is Bridgewater
Centre. A few days ago one came into
the road at the lower end of the village,
looked up the street, cropped the grass
by the roadside, but as some people tried
to get near, it ran back to the mountain.
Another came INTO the shallow water at
the mill pond and played in the water
nearly an hour.
Willis X. Jackson of Barre, telegraph

and placed under $500 bonds for his ap-
pearance at the hearing to be held Aug

Dr. B. C. Senton of Rutland attempted

accused of being intimate with his wife.
The intimacy it is said commenced about
| two years ago. Last spling DR.. SeutOn
ordered Quinn to leave the place or he
would shoot. Quinn went away and
came back only once, but the doctor did
not see him. He returned again yester-
day and met the doctor twice each time
! on different street Quinn'S house is
just across the street from the doctors,
though not directly opposite. The doc
tor watched lis chance and when Quinn
came out to walk down the road the
wronged husband was waitinng with a
revolver. Just as Quinn came within
range DR.. Senton fired three shots neith-
er of them taking effect. The last one
was fired with the doctor running after
him. At this point the doctor was per-
suaded to stop by A. Van Harwood, a
Herald reporter, who lives near by. DR..
Senton declares that he meant to shoot
Quinn, while Quinn does not deny to his
friends his intimacy with Mrs. SentOu.
| The affair has caused a great sensation.
! John Quinn is a son of Michael Quinn
who it is said is very wealthy. He is
one of the Quinn brothers who manage
the summer hotel at Lake Dunmore.

A number of Boston SportsmeE are
SAID to have bargained for a large tract
of land in Stratton not far from the place
where Daniel Webster addressed the big
! Wing convention in 1910. 1t is proposed
by the purchasers to establish for them
selves and friends great fish and game
preserve, to dam the stream which is
tributary to the Deerfed, 10 build cot
tages as well as alarge fish hatchery, and
most of all to protect the forests from
the lumbermen. Some 600 acres have
deem selected right in the heart of the
Green mountains and IN a section where
the best trout fishing is found. If the
waters can be properly protected for Il
! period of five years, it is reasonable o
expect that the preserve will afford the
! finest sport to be found in New England,
, tine waters well adapted to trout breed
| ing, while the dense forest gives ample
protection to large game, including bear
and deer, the latter having become quite
numerous in recent years. The scheme
is to buy the land and possibly enclose
| part of the tract and to make the place a
sort of summer rendezvous for a num-
! Der of BOstouians. There are two nat
ural ponds in the section which Just TEEN
with trout, but whether they are includ
ed in the purchase is not definitely
known.
