Last fall and this spring % acres OF
the permanent camp ground of the V.
N. G. near Fort Ethan Allen have
been graded and feeded, but owing to
the dryness OF the season sufficient
turf has not been formed to make it
desirable to hold the annual muster
there this year. 1t is thought best to
give the ground more time to solidify
before it is disturbed. Col. Webb
las very kindly offered Gov. Wood
bury "Oakledge," his estate just south
If the Howard Park, Burlington, for
he use of the National Guard for its
annual muster in August. Gov. Wood

PostoRce Burglary.

Burglars entered Hartford Tuesday
night OF last week and forced an en-.
trance to the postoffice and store be-
longing to Allen l.. Peasc. Abol
two dollars and one hundred and fifty
stamps were taken from the postoffice,
and six revolvers, a box of files and
about two dollars in change from the
store. w. S. Chase, jeweer in the
same room, is unable to estimate his
loss at present, but small quantity of
plated-ware is all that is missing. The
poslotiice at White River Junction
was probably visited by the same
gang, at which place three dollars in
money and about sixteen hundred
stamps were taken.
James +. Atwood, one OF the most
skillful postoffice robbers in the coun-
try, was arrested at New York Friday
for the crime. When Atwood was
searched at police headquarters, a
number Of Canadian coins were found
upon him and also one of the bags in
which postage stamps are kept at the
postofiice. The most convincing evil
dcnce the prisoner had in his posses
sion was a memorandum blank which
belonged to Postmaster Fitzpatrick of
White River Junction.
Postotfice Inspector Jacobs secured
warrant from the United States
court Friday morning and took it to
Essex market court where Atwood
was arraigned. The prisoner served
term of two years and six months in
Albany penitentiary for robbery of
postofiices in Syracuse and Whitestone
in 1892.

Fire at Guilford.


The two factory buildings, lum
Der shed and small house attached
used as storehouse, all owned by S
A. Smith q Co., and the barns anC
sheds of K. P. Squires at the old Boy
den place in Guilford, were burned
last Thursday night with all the con
tents, and Mr.. Squires's house wai
badly damaged by the fire, but was
saved by steamer company No. Vi

the Brattleboro firemen practically the
whole village of GuilforI would have
been destroyed. The wind was blow.
ing the flames toward another store
house owned by Smith Il Co., and
from there they would have leaped to
the Congregational parsonage and
thence to the other buildings.
The fire broke out about 10 O'Clock
in what was formerly a small dwell
ing house attached to the lumber shed.
The house was all ablaze when seen,
alarm was soon givel and, as the viii
lage is without fire protection, not
muchcould have been done without
the help from Brattleboro.
Two men entered the building where
the fire started about 1880 to get some
material. One theory is that they
may have dropped match in light
ing a pipe and another is that the fire
was incendiary. All the buildings and
the contents were very dry and of a
highly combustible nature.
The loss will probably amount to
about $4,000; partly insured.

Larned, Kan, Aug. IA tornado of
considerable velocity swept over the
southern part of this county about 5:5o
o'clock Wednesday evening and the
damage to crops. buildings. windmills.
etc. will probably reach into the thou
sands.
The storm gathered about due south

farm houses. laying the fields of corn
in its path fiat upon the ground.
The Missouri Pacific railroad tele-

The storm struck PaWnee Rock, a
small town about nine miles east Of
here, and the damage there was great,
but at this time cannot be estimated.
The Moses brothers grain elevator
was turned over on it's side and is a
complete wreck. The Santa Fe com
pany windmill was picked up and
slammed against J. R. Bakers grain
elevator, which is badly damaged. The
Postal Telegraph Co.'S wires
We're torn down and communication
east over that line was cut off for sew
eral hours last night.
The two churches of the town were
moved from their foundations and left
in a badly damaged condition. Much

Robert J Makes Phenomenal
Time at Columbus.
Defeats Frank Agan and the

The Fastest Fourth Heat Ever
Made By a PAGER.

ONE HEAT 1902 3-4.

Columbus, O., Aug. Robert J.
again demonstrated yesterday that he
is the greatest PAGER ever harnessed to
a sulky. Frank Agan was again the
favorite in the free-for- all pace, and re-
lying upon his remarkable performance
at Cleveland, nearly every horseman
on the track backed him to win.
The first heat was paced in 2:03A.
Agan lowered his record half a second
and broke the track record. The sec
ond and third heats in 2.O41A were con
sidered phenomenal, but the crowd was
not prepared for the great surprise
when the fastest fourth heat ever paced
or trotted was made, the time being
2.O2A.
1t was about 2:3O when the first
great heat was paced. The sky was
covered with heavy black clouds that
fOrebOded a storm and scarcely a breeze
stirred. The track was faster than any
day since the races began. The i'm
menSe grand stand was filed with peO
pie ana there was a perfect jam in the
betting sheds. There were three start
ers in the race, Frank Agan, driven by
Mccarthy; Robert J., driven by Starr
and RUbenstein, driven by Laird. Geers
expected to drive Robert J., but had not
sufficiently recovered from the accident
of Wednesday.
In the first heat Agan took the lead
and held it all the way around, with
Rubenstein second and Robert J. third.
In the second heat Agan took the lead
and Rubenstein dropped behind Robert
J. before the first quarter was passed.
Robert J. kept a close second all the
way around to the stretch, when he
began to move up. Just at the finish
Agan was pulled off his feet and Robert
J. went under the wire a length ahead.
The third heat was almost a repeti-
ton of the second.
In the fourth a TlrpftU start wa m
Rubenstein set the pace. the three
horses going in a bunch almost to the
three-quarter pole with Agan in the
lead. After this Rubenstein dropped
back and Robert J., as in the previous
heat, Rugged Agan's sulky until it
turned into the stretch when Robert J.
moved up and passed under the wire a
length ahead of Agan.
The time in the last heat was: 311h
1:OO12, 1:31, 2:02A. Summaries

CANTON Will SEE BRYAN.
A Band and Thousands of People Will
Be at the Railroad Station.

Canton, O., Aug. MAJOR Mckinley
will be at his home next Monday when
nominee Bryan passes through Canton
at 1924 p. m, on his way to Madison
Square Garden, New York, for his Off
cia1 notification. Secretary John c.
Harmony of the Canton Bryan club
returned home this morning and said
to the Associated Press reporter that
he understood q subscription list had
been passed around for funds to hire
a band to go to the Pennsylvania sta
ton and greet Mr.. Bryan.
Beyond this" said Mr. Harmony, Il
think nothing has been done. I do not
expect to serve as secretary of the club
after tonight. This evening the club
will hold a meeting and may decide up
on some formal demonstration. Mr..
Bryan will travel on a regular train. I
do not expect he will stop here except
for the usual few minutes the train
stops. He may speak from the rear
platform, but I cannot talk knowingly
as to that All that I think that can
be safely said now, is that there will
probably be a band at the station and
that thousands OF people will doubt
less gather to see him pass through
the town.

A CASE OF BATTLES.
Blues Lose Their Head in the Fatal
Fifth Also the Game

One little wild throw by Catcher Hall
and the game was lost for Topeka at
Athletic park yesterday
By that throw Fatty Faulkner was
allowed to score and with him three
others Hall and Sawyer had Faux
ner cOrraled between third base and
the plate. The game was easy. The
only thing to do was to touch Faux
ner with the ball. Fatty is not spry
and it would seem not a difficult thing
to do, but Hall lost his usual equanim-
ity and tossed the bali ten feet wide of
Faulkner and everybody scored that
could.
Switzer was pitching a magnificent
game for Topeka, but in that fatal fifth
inning he went up in the air. After
Halls wild throw Switzer tossed the
ball to little Wingert of Junction City
Wingert is small H is a boy, but
the way he went after the ball made
the hearts of the Topeka players tired
1t went off his bat like q cannon ball
and when it stopped it was several feet
outside of the left field fence and Win
CERT and three other players made the
When the official scorer recovered
from the shock he had Junction City
credited with eight runs in the fifth in
ming and there ends the story.
After that Pa SWitzer Weakened up
and buckled down to work. He struck
out three men in succession. He
played like a fiend and so did every one
else, but Topeka could not score. To
peka made four in the first two in the
second and three in the fourth, and it
seemed to be all their way, but two in
first and eight in the fifth made more
runs for Junction City.
Following is the score;
Topeka ..............4 2 3 0 o. 9
Junction City .......2 0 0 8 0 0 80
