THE GAME WAS FATAL.

Norman r.. Winchester, IL, Was struck
Behind the Ear with Base Rail- at
south Londonderry anG Died Few
Hours Later.
A sad accident occurred at South Lon
donderry Friday afternoon, resulting in the
death of Norman E., 11-year-Old son of
Mr.. and Mrs Fred Winchester. Young
Winchester and a crowd of village boys
were playing ball and he had just made a
hit. He was running to first base when
the ball thrown by George Smith to the
first baseman, hit Winchester behind the
right ear The boy sat down immediate
ly and a crowd of his paymates gathered
around him.
He soon got up, however, and watched
the game for about II minutes before
starting for his home, which was only a
short distance away. When he got home
he told his mother about the accident and
she bathed his head and told him to lie
down on the sofa. The boy obeyed, but
soon got up, went to his room and lay
down on his bed.
His mother went into the room few
minutes after and found him much worse.
She Immediately told the boys father, who
called physician but nothing could bt
done for the child. He remained in g
semi-conscious state until about II O'Clock
in the evening, when the end came. The
cause of the death was conclusion of thu
brain.
The funeral was held at the house Tues
| day at 1890 o'clock. The death of youns
Winchester comes as great shock to al
the young people in the village, and es
pecially to George Smith, who threw thu
ball, although no blame is attached to him
His parents are among the best-knowl
| people of the village.

IN FAVOR OF THE TOWN.
In the Case of =. IL. LRLeIle vs.. Town
of NeWfane.

The Supreme Court Renders IA Decision
in the Case of =. II. LazeIIe vs.. Town
of Newfane.
The state supreme court rendered its de-
cision Monday in the case of Leslie 5. La
zelle, administrator, VS.. the town of New
fame, sustaining the decision of the county
court, which was in favor OF the town.
This case has attracted great deal of in
terest. 1t was a suit to recover 5000 for
Stillman II. Lazelle of Dover, the only
surviving heir and next of kin to Emily 5.
Lazele, who was killed by being thrown
from bridge to some rocks on Sept. 20,
1895. Both legs and both arms were brok-
en- and her head was crushed, causing
death in 10 minutes. No one saw the ac-
cident and Stillman II. Lazelle afterward
had no recollection about it, he being seri-
ously injured in the same accident.
The case was tried at the March term OF
the county court in 1897, c. c. Fits and
l.. NJ Read appearing for the plaintitf and
Haskins and Waterman, Martin ~ Hit for
the town. The plaintiff claimed that one
or two large rocks had been taken from
the bed of the road and dumped near the
highway and that they had tendency to
frighten horses. The testimony of the de-
fence was to the effect that the rocks were
| taken out of the road by the road commits
siOner and that the larger of them was
covered with brush. The horse which
| Stillman Lazelle was then driving had
passed the rocks several times without
| showing fright and that on that day the
horse, which was but six years old, had
been shod for the first time. The supreme
court has not yet given its reasons for the
| decision.

BRArTLEBoRo ACADEMY WON.

Brattleboro High school Made Yale
Finish, but CIark's Catch Ended Their
Chances.
The Brattleboro High school base ball
team opened it's season Saturday with
game with Brattleboro academy on the
Centreville grounds. The two teams
proved to be very evenly matched and the
game was an exciting one throughout, es-
pecially the last two innings. The superior
work of Fisher in the box, together with
a lack of practice in batting on the part OF
the High school boys, accounts for the
victory of the academy.
Willard pitched seven innings for the
High school, after which Brasor waa put
into the box. Sanders put up a remark
ably good game behind the bat. The High
school boys made six runs in the ninth
inning and stood a very good chance OF
tying the score, had it not been for Clark,
who made circus catch of what looked
like safe hit off Wellman's bat. The
game showed that the High school has
material for good team, and with prac-
tice it ought to be developed into winning
form.
The team will probably play a return
game with Brattleboro academy on the
island, Saturday

YOU WALK AT THE BRIDGE.
Electric Cars Cannot Pass Owing to "A
Broken Truss---SpecIal Town Meeting
TO See About IA New Bridge.

Broken Truss---SpeciAl Town Meeting
TO See About IA New Bridge.
The middle truss on the east side of the
Main street bridge is broken short off six
feet from the south abutment wall. An
drew Horton discovered that the truss was
cracked Tuesday and appearances indicate
that it had been in that condition for some
time. Just when the break was completed
is not known but it was discovered soon
after the first electric car crossed the bridge
this morning.
Baiiff Fleming notified the railroad com
pany not TO run more cars over. The
break is under the east track Of the rail-
road and the bridge at that point has set
tied from four TO six inches. A car was
lacked over to the west track during this
forenoon and was rolled across from the
south side so that there would be two cars
to run between the bridge and West Brat
tleboro.
The bridge was built in 1869. 1t has
been apparent for some time that it would
be necessary, sooner or later, to build a
new bridge and the selectmen believe that
the time has now come when this must be
done.
They will probably call a special town
meeting week from next Saturday to see
if the town will allow them TO appropriate
an amount of money sufficient for this
purpose. Meanwhile the bridge will b'
propped up.

SEIZED THE BEER.
BrattIrboro Officers HRided Italian
quarters at West Enumeration and
Brought Away II Neg Of Beer.


The residents in the Italian quarter at
the West Dummerston granite quarry were
surprised Saturday night by the appear
ance of Sheriff k. +. Gordon, Deputy
Sheriff f. W. Mcclure aud Officer c. c..
Turner armed with a search and seizure
warrant from States Attorney Robb.
The officers visited first the dwelling
house of Marco Marcellas, where they
found keg of beer, which they seized,
There was evidence that the traffic had
been conducted there to a large extent
The boarding house of Louie /ancan
was next visited but no contraband goods
were found. The officers then went to
West Dummerston village and raided the
pool room of p. F. Mccarthy, opposite
j. T. Townsend's store, but found moth
ing but keg of rice beer.
No date has been set for trial. A
boarder at Marcelas's claimed TO own the
beer found at that place, but as the beer
was in Marcellas's possession and as the
warrant covered his premises the prosecu-
ton will be against Marcellas and if he is
able to prove that the beer was not his
| the boarder will be held for it.

Butter
Talk

The fact that the quality of Butter
marketed today largely depends upon the grade of
salt used admits of no argument
Two qualifications in Dairy Salt are indispen
sable
Ist. Absolute purity which insures good
flavor and keeping qualities.
I'd. Quickncss in dssolving insuring
perfect distribution with a minimum
amount of working
The fact that all the prize butter made in
Mainc New Hampshire, Vermont, and Connecticut
last year sailed with Worcester Salt, and that
90 per cent of the creamery and dairy men in
New England nothing but Worcester, proves
beyond a doubt that Worcester is the Standard Of
Dairy Salt, and embodies the above indispensable
qualifications. Also Best for Table and Kitchen.
