States Attorney Darling went to West
Fairlee last week Wednesday to prosecute
a novel case. Myron Wilmot, the we'll
known stage driver, procured United
States flag several weeks ago, and nailed
o
route from West Fairlee to Ely station 1t
hung there until a week ago Saturday,
when a young Englishman named Fred
Reeves, who was visiting relatives In that
vicinity, tore 1t down and carried it away.
He WIS seen with 1t in West Fairlee that
evening and was requested to carry 1t
back. He acted rather smart about it and
refused TO replace it. The people OF West
Fairlee, and especially the veterans, we're
beginning to get indignant, and IL Reeves
had not left as he did, would probably
have made 1t lively for him. Complaint
was entered to the states attorney Sun
day afternoon. On the following Monday
morning Reeves caused the flag to be re-
placed, but the authorities considered that
this did not atone for the crime OF steal
ing it. Monday afternoon Reeves was arr
rested at Barre on complaint of the states
attorney and was taken to West Fairlee
Tuesday where he was arraigned before
Justice Paul. he pleaded guilty to taking
the flag and was sen fenced to pay fne
and costs amounting to over S25. Reeves
can congratulate himself that his tearing
down of the stars and stripes occurred In
a strictly lava hiding community. Tar,
feathers and rsil would have been the
least punishment he would have encoun-
tered in some sections.
