The affair was about the only thing

ing evidence as TO the fracas and intends
to lay the matter clearly before the fre
commissioners a the meeting next Wed

are TO blame. he questioned two OF the
men yesterday. but could not get a clear
statement out OF either At Ballard he
interviewed Marshal Diggs and got a
clear. full statement from him.
Diggs told the chief that about 10
o'clock Friday night. while standing on
the opposite side Of the street from tho
dance hall, he heard some loud talking
and much profane language He went
over and found McGinnis. Collins. Barnes
and Finch Niddler. He Tequ~ted them
10 stop their loud talking and swearing,
as ladies were passing, when one Of the
men-he does not remember who-asked
him who he was Il am the marshal OF
this city" said he.
We'll, I don't care who YOU are. 7 can
YOU and the whole town" answered
the man that spoke 10 him first. and At
the same time Jumped At him and knock
81 him down. Two OF the men standing
with him also pitched in and kicked him
about the body. lie pulled his gun and
nrcd on hearing the shot the men scat
tered Finch Niddler jumping over
fence Digs started after him ana COM
rnanded him 20 throw up his hands In
stead OF doing this. he hurled rock at
the marshal who fired and winged him
This shot knocked the fight out If the
whole crowd. and they were placed under
arrest. but released soon after upon de-
posting bail.
Digs says that Barnes tried TO stop
the row in every way. but was unsuccess-
fui McGinnis was shot once in the arm
and Finch Ni6dler got hit twice Their
wounds were dressed by DR.. Thompson.

Pomona Grange Meeting.

Windham County Pomona Grange
met with Protective Grange in their
new hall at Brattleboro Wednesday. The
morning session was devoted to bust
ness, reports from several oranges
showing an increase in membership
and decided increase in interest for
grangel work Several new members
were instructed in the 9TH degree after
which dinner was served in the ban
quet hall. The ladies fully appreciat-
| ed their new kitchen with all modern
improvements, making the after dinner
work pleasure, not task. The af
ternoon session was open to the public.
First on the programme was music by
the choir: the address of welcome was
given by the Master, G. W. Pierce,
and was responded to by Mrs. Julia
Newton ofiVernon Grange. in which she
spoke of the progress the grange as an
organization was making. was glad the
! time had come when families could go
to the grange together: she thought
parents should try and have more time
to devote TO the education of their chill
drcn and the interests of their families.
piano duet was finely rendered by
Misses Lila and Carrie Clark receiv-
ing hearty encore, to which they
kindly responded. \ recitation by Miss
Louise Williams was given in very
pleasing manner, receiving hearty
applause which it well merited. \
bird song by little Clara Eames was
well received. The question for dis
cussion What Occupation Affords the
best Opportunities for the Enjoyment
of Life?' was opened by c. ID. Whit
man. He thought farming stood at
the head If one was fitted for ana loved
the work. He brought out some very
excellent ideas illustrating with anus
ing anecdotes, but summed up the
whole in short sentence that what
ever work one loved and was adapted
for was the one they could get the most
enjoyment from. f. o. Lee of Vernon,
gave an excellent essay on the same
subject. He thought to be a success
full farmer one should love the work.
He considered the grange great help
and educator of the farmer Mrs. o.
L. Ware thought that whatever occu-
patton one followed they received the
most satisfactory enjoyment when they
were doing the most good for others,
citing as examples lives of clergyGien
and physicians and although she con-
sidered farming preferable to all 9th
ers, did not agree with some of the
speakers who thought all farmers
should educate their boys for farmers,
then all ministers sons should be min
listers or doctors boys all doctors. DIR.
Garrison being called upon, gave some
experiences in physicians work,
the previous speakers
theory of enjoyment in doing good for
and relieving the distress of others.
Further remarks were made by Mr..
Goodenough, Mrs. Eames. Mrs. Ed
wards and others. all finally arriving
at o7e conclusion that whatever occu-
patton one was fitted for was the one
which afforded them the best oppor-
tunities for the enjoyment of life. -
