small stakes at first, and Monday one was
run at Barre for 500 side Speakman
beat Hart by two yards. On an electric
car after the race one Of the quartet of
runners told a Montpelier Record man the
story of how the betting men from Ashue-
lot and Bellows Falls were ilseced.
The Montpelier Argus has a stor7 to the
effect that Speakman and Hart disappear
ed after the race, and that they worked a
game to beat Crawford, who seemed to act
as general manager of the sprinting events.
/ This was probably bluff
The fourth member of the quartet was
/ known as Rice. He ran race at North
| field, but did not appear in the races at
Barre. Rice was Jack Doyle Of Adams
Crawford was Fred Britton of South Had

! Pittsield, Mass, and Speakman was John
Mahan of Clinton, Mass
Britton is sail to be the leader Of the

and former base ball player, and adds

the horse as he attempted to rise. Help

BACK FROM PORTO RICO.
Walter {. Pettee. Now in Brattieboro.
saw Service ms CAVaIryman,

Walter c. Pettee of Troop c. BROOKLYN
cavalry, came to Brattleboro Monday
night, being called here by the death of
the young son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred L.
Simpson. Mr.. Pettee is Mrs. Simpsons
brother, He has made an enviable repu-
tation as an artist. He returned TO this
country only few days ago after active
service as a cavalryman in Porto Rico
His troop spent four weeks on the island,
and acted as body guard TO Gen. Wilson.
Mr.. Pettee was a member of the advance
guard of about 100 men who covered the
retreat of the Spaniards. They were often
very near the enemy, and saved several
bridges where holes had been dug for ex-
plosives which Were never ignited. The
Spaniards were completely unnerved by
the appearance of the big American
horses and the dash and pluck of the
American soldiers. The Spaniards in
Porto Rico were mounted on ponies, and
the soldiers had been accustomed to do
everything leisurely. MI Pettee thinks
there would have been great loss of life
but for the sudd Il termination of the war
as the Spaniards held a strongly fortified
mountain pass which the Americans were
preparing to attack when the news o. peace
was received.
