Sheldon Junction, Oct. i2.--Ihe safe In

morning at O'Clock. The ROBBERS gained

one dollar in money from a cigar case.

by the explosion Of the safe and the next
noise heard was the slipping of a bar

went to n register and fired four shots at
the burglars but they made their escape
from the wirGow. Before the smCke

was learned that they first tried to enter
the store of Maynard & Marsh. but were
frightened away by the barking of a dog
and the clerk calling to them and asking
what was wanted.
AT Mr.. Dirkee's they first tried to enter
by the front door by the use of bar and

tions which should not be mentioned in

mont lawyer at his best he should be seen
Immediately after enjoying one of those
banquets Landlord Viles can serve. He Is
full then, not of that which inebriates,
but of Wit, sarcasm and the best of pleas
antry. This is the condition which pre-
vailed tonight at the annual banquet of
the Vermont Bar association held at the
Pavilion,
At the table of honor were seated Toast
master c. =. Hogan; on his right GOV.
Smith. Congressman Powers, Judges Start
and Thompson, George w Wing and
Judge Carleton of Montpelier; on his loft
were Chief Justice Ross, Hon. H. c. Ide,
recently chief justice of Samoa, Judge
Rowell, ex-Gov. Dillingham;, Rev. A. n.
Lewis and Speaker Haskins,
After an hour of pleasant chat and dis
cussion of the menu, cigars were passed
and Toastmaster Hogan called for order.
The first toast responded TO was Ver-
mont, and his EXcellency Gov. Il. G.
bmith was the speaker. The governor
spoke of the pleasure Of meeting again
with lawyers after a forced absence Of
twenty years, and thanked them for CIV
Ing him opportunity to speak to them.
Character is tho product OF environment
and the varied lanscapes of the State
with their ups and downs forces "a young
man to think and think hard. This is
what has given the State such prominent
men and he then gave list Of prominent
residents, closing mis- list with the name
of Dewey and closed by declaring that
Dewey's victories opened new oppor.
tunity for the country and the residents
of Vermont.
Hon. II. Henry Powers, Congressman ct
the First Vermont district spoke for the
Supreme Court. He paid very high tri-
butte to this by comparing it with the
national courts and lawyers who appear
before it, He said Judges of the Su.
preme Court OF the United could give nc
clearer charges than vera delivered In
Vermont courts. He then called atten-
tion to the ability of Vermont lawyers
saying he could pick out fifty members OF
the Vermont bar who could present cases
ably In the Supreme Court at Washing
ton. Vermont he's greater mowers thar

ing limited so much by tho constitution

The Governors Glee club of st. Albans
then sang and were obliged to respond to
an encore. This was followed by the
ablcst speech of the occasion by Hon. IL.
c. lde of ST. Johnsbury. late chief JUS
ticc to Samoa, who spoke on Law in the
Pacific. He first gave some personal eX-
pcriences with natives in the courts, tell
ing how they brought him presents before
the trial, saying he saw the dawn of civ
i!izaton there ana probably later they
would be able to give presents such as
are now given by Americans who seek
favor with the courts. He closed by tell
ing of the special English common law.
The natives in the Pacific accept 1t with
great favor because ii Is based on Justice

neard, the grounds of decision stated.

taken down.
The glee club sang another selection.
and Speaker Haskins was introduced to
speak for the Vermont Legislature. lie

which he made n strong plea for the re-
tcntion of the Jury system lie spoke of
the distrust of the people by great cor
poratons and trusts and the fear of these
organizations of appearing before jury
of the common people. lie believed that
this system had better be retained, as he
believed 1t was the greatest safeguard
of the people against oppression and dis
trust of the courts of justice. The glce
