An Electric Railroad for nlnsdaIe.

Several of our citizens interested in an
electric road from Hinsdale to Brattleboro
met at Hotel Ashuelot Friday afternoon
bill was perfected which was presented
by Representative Jeffords az Concord to
incorporate the Hnsdale and Brattleboro
Railroad Light and Power company. This
charter would allow the road to be extend
ed to the Massachusetts line where it is ex-
pected that a road would be built to con-
meet with the Turner's Falls and Greenfield
Electric Railroad company. 1t is hoped
by everybody that the charter will be OBJ
tanned. Perhaps it would give Hinsdale a
boom, which it is in need of very much.
Mr.. Craig of Marlboro also gave notice at
Concord of the introduction of a bill in
cooperating the Keene and Hinsdale Elec-
trio Railroad company.

OilotlbCi ilis
, From Aaron Gamble OF ChetopS
: township, Wilson county we learn the
J following as regards the "lost child
matter of last Saturday. 1t seem:
that Jas. Wininger and family were al
Neodesoa on Saturday and got HON {
about midnight Saturday night and
went to bed. About o'clock Sunday
morning they heard noise at the
north side Of the house, but paid nc
attention to IT until few minutes
later they heard the same noise at
the south side Of the house; 1t sound
ed, they said like child whimpering
just out side the door Mr.. Wininger
opened the door and found small
child on the doorstep. He was sur
prised to see a child alone at his house
at this time of night, so he took the
little fellow in the house and put it to
bed. Mr.. Wininger suspicioned that
something was wrong so he sent his
son over to Squire Aliens and also to
James Coughs to.ask that these gen.
tlemen come to his house at once and
take charge of the child as he did not
know what to do with it, at the same
time he went over to see Mr.. Counts
his nearest neighbor to see if he could
| help him solve the MYSTERY. Mr..
Counts told him that Mr.. Crockett's
baby had been away from home since
six O'Clock Saturday evening. Mr..
Wininger proceeded to Mr.. Crockett's
home and informed Mrs, Crockett
that the baby was at his house and
told her to come down to his house
and remain with the child till the
township trustee came. Mr.. Winln-
ger then returned to his home. In a
few minutes one of the McDonold
boys came to Winingers house and
wanted to take the baby. Mr.. Win
niger told him he had sent for the
trustee and didSnot intend to give
the child up till he came; before
great while Will Newland appeared
on the scene and demanded the child;
Mr.. Wininger was very much alarm
ed and was satisfied by this time that
a job had been put up on him, so he
also refused to let Mr.. Newland have
the child; in short time Mr.. Crock
ct came and demanded the child
whereupon Mr. Wininger gave the
little tot to its father.
Before long, Squire Allen and trus-
tee Cough came to Mr.. Winingers'
and when he told them what he had
done they said he had done exactly
right in the matter, Mr.. Wininger's
folks say that the child did not seem
to have cried any as its face was clean,
and as its feet were also clean, they
did not believe the child had walked |
to their house, which is about mile |
from Mr.. CrOckett's. The neighbors |
are badly worked up over this matter,
and it is the general verdict, so Mr.. |
Gamble tells US, that it was job put |
up On Mr.. Wininger to get the public |
turned against him before the New
land-Wininger trial comes up in court. |
Mr. Gamble is one of the hest citi-
zens Of Wilson county; he entered his
farm in Chetopa township in 1869 and |
has remained on the same place ever
since, We incline to think his state
ment of the case is fair and impair
tial one.
1t is unfortunate indeed that the
good people of Chetopa township
should have such feud exist in their
midst.
