a BOGUS PRIEST
Buncoed w. W. NeVvcomb out of SI1
BY Ordering Communion Service.

Buncoed w. W. NewcOmb out of SI1
BY Ordering II Communion Service.
The bogus priest, who has operated in
several New England cities visited Fitch
burg Mass, Thursday, and victimized W.
W. Newcomb, a former well known Brat
tleboro jeweler, who is now manager Of /.
Il. Pratt ~ Co.'S store in that city. The
bogus priest wished to buy a communion
service. The firm had none in stock, but
MI Newcomb assured him that one could
be secured before Sunday. A selection
was made from an illustrated catalogue.
The stranger explained all details so
carefully that NJ. Newcomb had no suspi-
cions OF dishonesty. and when check for
So was presented he accepted it without
question and gave the stranger S14. The
check was deposited as $50, but the bank
teller noticed that the last figure was two.
Mr.. Newcomb thought he would write to
the priest to tell him OF the error, but his
next thought was that he did not have the
priests name or address.
The man said the service was for ST. Jo-
seph's church in Ashby. Nh. Newcomb
found on inquiry that there was no such
church. The check was drawn on a Lowell
bank in the name OF J. c. Forbes, but the
name was fictitious The swindler tried
the same game on a furniture store in
Fitchburg, but the firm refused to accept
the check, saying the bank deposit for the
day had been made. The communion ser
vice game was worked successfully few
days ago in Springfield, Mass, the order
being given for "St. Mary's church, Meri-
den. Conn"

The ouaarlennial AppraisaI.

The listers, who have been at work for
a number of days on the quadriennial ap-
praisal of real estate, report that thus far
the appraisal has kept up to the figures of
the last appraisal. They are often asked
when there will be an opportunity for
real estate owners to appeal from their ap-
praisal to the board OF civil authority. The
Vermont statutes require that the list
shall be returned to the town clerks office
on or before the fourth Tuesday in July.
Section 392 of the Vermont statutes
says: IA person aggrieved by the ap-
praisal of the listers may within three
days after the list is required by law to be
returned TO the town clerks office, appeal
to the board of civil authority in the town
where the real estate is situated. and shall
give immediate notice to the town clerk
and to one of the listers In the case Of
the annual inventories it is discretionary
with the listers when they shall call
meeting OF the board of civil authority,
but in the case of the quadriennial ap-
praisal the time is fixed by law,

MORE BRIDGE BIDS.
Hut They Were Not Satisfactory Al
though within the Appropriation of
$4,000.

nut Ihey were MOI Satisfactory Al
though within the Appropriation of
$4,000.
Two OF the firms whose bids for the pro-
posed stone arch over MILESTONE brook at
Main street were opened and announced
last Saturday took advantage Of the priv
lege accorded them by the selectmen to
prepare and bid upon plans and specfca-
tions of their own al o'clock Tuesday
night. They were the George +. Lyons
Granite company OF Brattleboro and Ward
u Douglass OF Barre.
The first received was that of the Lyons
company, which was within the appropri-
alton of $1,000 made by the town The
plan of this company was to make the
arch somewhat shorter than the one
called for by the plan of the consulting ell
gineer, Newton {. Bond, of North Adams,
and to construct oyerhanging iron side
walks. 1t differed also from Mr.. Bonds
plan in several important points, and left
several pieces of work to be done by the
town, which would make the cost exceed
in the end the $4,000 appropriation.
The bid of Ward d Douglass was also
within the appropriation, but the select
men would not accept ii for the reason
that its permanency was not guaranteed.
The selectmen have been asked to consid-
er proposition for an arch of combi-
nation of iron and stone and they may de-
eide 10 inspect a certain arch built of this
material. Such an arch could be built for
a reasonable sum, but the fact that none
of them have been Fuilt until recently
makes it impossible to determine how
great would be its lasting qualities.
Nj. Bond believes that if the appropria-
ton had been $4,000, as was suggested
at the special town meeting, it would have
been sufficient to have built such al arch
as the selectmen desire The indications
are that the present bridge will be replaced
by first-class iron one, which can be put
on in go days.
800 Panes Of Glass Broken.
Residents of Prospect Hill who saw
pieces of board, window sash, limbs, etc.
whirling above the tops of the trees in the
direction of c. L. Aliens during the storm
Sunday afternoon concluded that the ele-
ments at that point had assumed the pro-
portions of a cyclone, and they were not
far from right, The door of one of MI
Aliens greenhouses was open at the time
and through the doorway the wind rushed
with such force that several sections of
window sash were lifted high in the air
one large board being carried to the height
of several hundred feet. Window sashes
were twisted into splinters, Two other
houses were damaged and 500 panes of
glass were broken. The plants in the
gre enhouse were not damaged.

The shooting gallery which located on

valuable goods Yesterday morning by two
of its employees. The proprietor went
away Sunday and the man who usually
slept in the tent went to a hotel Sunday
evening on account Of the rain The two
other men employed there evidently de-
cided to go into business for themselves
and they skipped on the early train Mon
day morning, taking several rifles and a
large amount Of apparatus with them.
The proprietor notified the police in towns

and in the afternoon received word that
two men answering his description were
in Indian Orchard, Mass. The men, one
of whom was negro, will probably be ar
rested and brought back here.
