One of the cases to come before the
U. S. court at the Brooks House,
Brattleboro, recently was that Of the
United States against Peter ID. Bedor
Of Swanton. Bedor was charged with
aiding and abetting the smuggling of
goods into this country. He pleaded
guilty and was fined $40, which he
paid. The circumstances occurred
during last winter. Bedor was aware
that another person was attempting
to smuggle goods and he told him
that the officers were after him and
that he had better run. The SNUG
gler did so and escaped. The CONVEX
sation was overheard by person who
preferred charges against Bedor.
Last week the three and half years
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Mum
son Of Fairfax, while her mother was
gone took the griddle off the stove
and the lace in the sleeves OF her dress
caught fire. She rushed outdoors TO
her mother, who took the child in her
arms to a neighbours, after trying to
extinguish the fire with a pail OF wa
ter. They succeeded in quenching the
fire but not before the child was so
horribly burned on every part Of her
body that the physicians think she
will not recover. Mrs. Munson's
hands were so badly burned that the
bones OF her fingers are bare in places
and of course she is unable to care for
her child at all.
