Death OF Mrs. Alice Duane.

The death of Mrs. Alice Patrick Duane
which occurred at Mrs. w. d. Leonard's
in Winhall where she was then residing,
| on the 7th deserves more than a passing
| notice.. The man or woman who brings
up large and respectable family adds to
the wealth and worth of the world and
the living are honoring themselves! in
paying just tribute to such one when
death ends their earthly career.
Mrs. Duane was an educated lady Of
refined sensiblities, devoted to her fami-
ly, loving wife and kind mother. In
the rearing of her children she ever had
in view their development into high and
exalted man and womanhood, and in this
her ideal was nearer reached than falls
to the lot of many families. she was the
mother of ten children six of whom are
now living, John Connolly, by a first
husband, in Ludlow, Bernard Duane in
Ashburnham, Mass, Henry in Cambridge
N. Y, John j. in Elizabethtown, Tenn.
Mrs. A. A. Benson in Winhall and Mrs.
w. j. Cudworth in So. Ashburnham,
Mass.
Alice Casey was born in Tpperary,
Ireland in 1922 In lS42 she married
William Connolly by whom she had two
children, one now living above mentioned.
Connolly died in lS47 and two years later
she married Patrick Duane by whom she
had eight children, five now living. In
1851 Mr.. and Mrs. Duane came to Amer
lea landing at Boston. They lived in
that city.for five years and then came to
Vermont, stopping first in Londonderry
where they remained for two years then
going to Winhall where the remainder of
their lives were spent, Mr.. Duane dying
thirteen years ago. Here, under adverse
and trying circumstances, the Duane
family was brought up and to the mother
ly care and intelligent guidance of her
whose lips are now sealed in death, each
member is largely indebted for his or her
standing in community and prosperity.
Today, though the earth is her only man
tie and her voice is buried IN the depths
of eternity, these children can say with
the poet:
ga mother is mother still,
The holiest thing alive
Peace to her memory
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist church in Bondville Sunday
and was largely attended. Rev. Mr.
Putnam officiated and the interment made
in the village cemetery.
All the children were present except
Bernard and John Duane who We're de-
tanned by sickness

BEHIND THE BARS.
Ben Robinson, of Near Rush Hill, in
Trouble-He Struck Howard
Basket With a Rock.

Ben Robinson, who worked for
Robert Dorgan, LEI Rush Hill, was
placed in jail Monday for assaulting
Howard Basket, the 15.year-old son
of J. N. Baskett, of West Mexico.
Last Saturday young Basket and
the 13-year-old son of j. V. Williams
went out east in a road art to shoot
doves. They met Robinson in the
road coming to town and in trying to
pass him a row ensued which resulted
later in Robinson striking Basket in
the head with a rock infiicting a severe
cut on the top of his head about an
inch long.
Monday a state warrant was issued
for Robinson and thst night Harry
Atchison and Cecil Basket went after
Robinson. They went to the house
but failed to find him. After watching
the house a while they saw him enter,
but when they went after him they
could not effect an entrance. They
came back to town and were re-en-
forced by Price johnson and Ned
Hutton. Returning toward Rush Hill,
not far from Mexico, they accidentally
ran upon Robinson in a wagon with
his family endeavoring to get away.
| He was taken into custody and driven
to the county Jail, his wife and chill
dren being taken to a hotel and the
team to the livery stable.
Robinson says he was justified in
what he did; that Basket brought on
the trouble. The trial will bring out
the facts. The preliminary will prob.
ably be held in a few days.
