been indicted by the grand jury on the
charge Of burning the court house and
that as an officer Of the law, it was his

that the county attorney sent a telegram
to knight at Dayton, Ohio, advising him
to look out for the officers, but knight
never received it. 1t is suggested that the

RICE's COMEDIANS.
They Are Playing 90 Packed Houses
This Week - Harry MRnteIl,"
Former BrattIebOro Boy.

Rice's Comedians, now playing at the
Auditorium, are strengthening the reputa-
ton made last year. The company is an
exceptionally strong one, and it seems
almost impossible that it can produce such
excellent plays with such a strong cast, for
the small price Of admission. There have
been several changes in the company since
last year, and for the better. The singing
and dancing speciaties deserve special
mention. Charles p. Rice is a very clever
actor, and pleases the audience from the
start. He is equally good in drama and
comedy. Big Charles Frey is a G jod com
edian, and is much liked here.
Harry Mantell "a former Brattleboro
boy has met with much favor, and his
singing and dancing, done in an artistic
manner, deserve and receive justly earned
applause. He will be remembered By the
name OF William Barry, and was clerk in
Wizards drug store for a number Of years.
He appeared here on the stage as an anna
teur in the old "Star" Ministries. He
began playing in variety companies soon
after he left Br&ttleboro, but Joined this

Knight Released.

Waterman, Martin q Hit, counsel for
Knight, on writ of habeas corpus asked
for bis release yesterday morning, arguing
that the authority of Sheriff Gordon was
not sufficient to hold him. The hearing
was before Judge II. II. Wheeler, and il
would have taken place sooner, but both
Judge Wheeler and Judge Tyler were out
of town. Judge Wheeler entertained the
same view as did Knights counsel, and
Knight was released. In his remarks
Judge Wheeler said that had Knight been
notorious criminal, or that had the evil
dence at hand in this case tended to show
that Knight was guilty, he would have felt
at liberty 10 continue the case until the
arrival OF the proper papers for Knights
removal. After Knights release Sheriff
Gordon was called to the telephone by

close Grand Master Nicholson stepped for

elegant combination past grand masters
past grand high priests ami past grand
commanders jewel. Col. Haskius was
not prepared for the occasion, bur il is
said that under the impulse of the moment
he responded more httingly than would
have been possible with preparation. The
jewel consists of three heavy ornate gold
bars, fastened together by gold chains
From the first bar by shorter chains is
suspended the charm of the past grand
master, from the second bar that of the
past grand high priest and from the third
that OF the past grand commander, the latter
being set with a diamond. There are in

MIR. Miller In Woodstock.

The Woodstock Age contains the fol-
lowing in its account of the recent rendi-
tioD of The Holy City" in that village:
The opening number of the second part
OF the program, Alteration was beauti-
fully rendered by the orchestra, and this
was followed by a grandly sung bass solo
by Mr. +. H. Miller of Dummerston. His
voice is of rare power and sweetness. and
this number was one of the most impress
siye features of the program"
The Woodstock Standard says of Mr..
Miller's Interpretation of this number:
after the instrumental introduction to
the second part of the program entitled
Alteration perhaps the grandest and
most impressive solo number of the whole
compost ion was sung by E. II. Miller of
Dummerston, supported by the orchestra
and by the chorus in subdued response
The theme of the cir is from Revelation,
Behold | create new heavens and
new earth the tabernacle of
God is with men, Mr.. Miller is a stranger
to Woodstock. He is gifted with a bari
tone voice of rare power. The audience
were not prepared to expect such impress
sive Interpretation as Mr.. Miller gave of
this magnificent composition, given with a
mastery thrill, the effect of which will not
soon be forgotten by those who heard it"
