The last act of the tar and feather
drama took place at Bennington Sat
urday, Oct, 8, when two of the So
called rioters were given a small fine
for breach of the peace. Only one
witness being called, and that being
Williams himself, soon satisfied the
Judge that he Justly deserved the coat
of tar and feathers which no doubt
he received. After the case was set
tied some of the boys were escorted
through Masonic Hall, others were
invited to visit Odd Fellows Hall,
still others were invited to visit the
Soldiers Home. All went home
happy and with light heart and
smiling face, except Williams who
started off with bunch of bananas
and a dissatisfied grin on his face.
Several of the most respected men
in town accompanied the boys to
Bennington and stated the case clear
ly and intelligently to States Attor-
ney Bates.
If the town could be rid of the

To the Editor of Sitter:

To the Editor Of Sitter:
In behalf of the respectable citi
zens of Winhall and surrounding
towns that have thus far been misin-
formed in regard to the so-called
Reputable Citizens of Winhall that
signed the petition to States Attor-
ney Bates, to prosecute certain per-
sons of this place, who were said to
be connected with the Tar and Feath-
er Festival which took place at one
Dwight Bourns, when one Mile
Williams of States Prison fame was
treated to a coat of tar and feathers
and ride on rail-
wish here to give you a list of the
names of the signers of said petition
as they were on the original document:
First was Charles Starks, who fur
nishes home to many strange dog
and at whose residence the pigs
and chickens have full swing of the
kitchen, is easily recognized by all
travellers through the middle town of
Winhall.
Second was Harry G. Benson, who
must have been in mesmerized state
of mind, as he says he did not know
what he was signing.
Third, was Dwight Bourn who ask
ed the boys of the village to go and
get said Williams out of his house as
he could not get him out himself.
He is also father to the young girls
that were entertaining young Will
liams against their fathers wishes.
Fourth, was George E. Brooks, a
frequent visitor at Bourn's.
Fifth, Lewis Brooks, who offered
to furnish rope to tie Williams with,
also father of George E. Brooks.
Sixth, French lunatic, fit SUBJ
ject for the Brattleboro Retreat, at
Charles Douglass.
Seventh, Irving Johnson, one of
those reputable citizens that has his
taxes abated.
Eighth, Mike Smith, said Starks'
son-in-law.
Ninth, Frank Starks. son of Chas.
Starks.
Tenth, H. B. Grover, an aged
town charge that cannot write his
own name and who Starks says had
his daughter, Stella, sign it for him.
Last of all was II. j. Young's
name, a brother of Rufus Young,
that is serving time for horse stealing.
The above is true list of the So.
called reputable citizens that signed
the original petition and they certain
| Iy have q reputation.
Kindly publish this in response to
the numerous other articles that have
heretofore appeared.
| will also further state that every
upright, honorable man and woman in
town is glad of what was done and
upholds the boys in all that was done.
Truly yours,
f. w. JOHNSON.
