5000 Pounds of Wool Stolen in
Grafton.
An innocent Wan Locked Up over Night
charged with the Crime.

Charged with the Crime.
Warner g. Townsend of Grafton recent
lv reported to States Attorney Rohb the
theft of about 5000 pounds of wool, which
was part of much larger amount that
he had stored in an unoccupied house on
one of his farms in that town Il is not
known when it was taken, as it had been
in the house for some time. The theft was
covered up by taking the wool from the
middle of large pile and filling the hole
with empty sap tubs, and covering it with
other wool tleeces, so the pile has looked all
right until it was examined recently and
the theft discovered. The officers are
working upon the matter and will probably
find the guilty party.
During the investigations thus far, sus-
picion rested for a time upon a party who
has proven himself entirely innocent, but
has suffered the uncomfortable experience
of being locked up over one night The
records of j. f. Alexander at SaXtons Riv-
er showed that he had purchased a quantity
of wool of Vernon Smith and as the Off
GERS were following out all sales of wool in
this vicinity and seeing where it was pro-
cured he was questioned. He told a
straight story as to its being part of his
wool. which came from his half of that
raised upon farm which he had of Alvin
Wright in Westminster, and the other
half was Mr.. Wright's.
States Attorney Robb visited Mr.. Wright,
who replied to his questioning that Mr..
Smith had taken no wool from his farm,
and that not a pound of wool raised there
had been taken by Smith. In addition he
stated to Robb that he had no knowledge
regarding Mr.. Smith having had a pound
of wool from any source.
As the story told by Mr. Wright so fiat
ly contradicted Mr.. Smiths statement the
officers supposed they had a sure case
against him, and he was arrested at lO
o'clock Monday night at his farm, anC
brought here to the village lookup. Mr.
Wright and other witnesses We're summon
ed for a hearing Tuesday morning, but
when the time came Mr., Wright went
back upon what he told the night before
acknowledging that the wool had been div
ided as Mr.. Smith claimed. Not only thi
but Mr. Smith produced in addition to Mr.
Wright's true story" the man who help
ed him get the wool from Wright's barn tc
Saxtons River, fully sustaining his limo
cence. Mr.. Robb ordered Smith released
at once, and was profuse in his apologies

Attacked bv a peer.

Experience with deer are common in
Bennington county, but the encounter
which Lewis Sprsgue OF Readsboro had
with a deer one day last week was alto
gether out Of the ordinary run. As

road, only few rods from the dam, he
came across a full-grown deer, and before
he had time to think the deer came at him,
knocking him down. When the man fell
the deer ran away. The tracks Of the
man and the animal show that Sprague's
story was true.

HOW THE VOTE STOOD
Los Angeles First Choice for the N. e.
A. Next Year

City Superintendent Foshay writes the
chamber of commerce concerning the
choice of Los Angeles as the place of meet
ing for the annual convention of the Ma
tional Educational association in 1899, as
fellows:
are victorious. Only one vote was taken
and In that vote first choice gave Los An
geles 20, Salt Lake u, Portland s, Tacoma 8.
This. as you see, made 1t unnecessary for
any further action to be taken by the di-
rectory. giving 1t to Los Angeles without a
question. We have done our part and GER
tainly have gained great victory.
Much credit is due to the helpers had
with me, to the chamber of commerce and
other organizations, their contributions and
invitations. Hurrah for our side.'
