Last Friday morning, February 17th
occurred the death of Deacon Franklin
Dearborn, aged GO years. who had been
for many years the leading citizen on East
Hill and prominent citizen of the town,
born October 2, 1929. the eldest of several
children and reared n farmers boy.
Franklin, on tho death of his father,
Wilder Dearborn, IN 1856 assumed the care
Of the family and became proprietor OF
the farm where he spent tho remainder
of his life. In 1859 he was married to Syl-
via Folsom of Tunbridge, by whom he had
four children, l.. Herbert, and three
daughters, the eldest Of them married to
Principal John NJ Comstock of Chelsea
Academy. the other two. Minnie and Hat
tie being yet unmarried. The son died In
January, 1892, aged 80 years. his death be-
ing a hard blow from which the father
never recovered. Always interested in
education he was elected a member of the
first board of school directors in town un-
der the town system, in 1893. For years
before that he had often been selectman
and justice of the peace and held minor
offices besides. But his main interest was
shown in his devotion to the Congrega-
tional church of which he became a men,
Der in 1852 and in 1872 deacon being also
superintendent of the Sunday School for
twenty-five years. He was very efficient
in the performance of all religious duties
and led such an exemplary life that the
whole community came to revere and de-
pend upon him. Indeed the practical ma
ture of his piety became an axiom in his
town. The funeral took place at the
church on Sunday afternoon, his former
pastor for nearly twenty years. Rev. f..

RALESTIER VS.. KIPIING.

1t is announced that Beatty Ba-

his brotherin-law, Rudyard Kip
ling. Tor alleged malicious prosecution.
Beatty Balestier was "a reporter on n New
York newspaper i've or six years ago and
then he settled down on little farm near
Brattleboro. lie is younger than his bro
Their, Charles Wolcott Ralestier, who died
several years ago and between whom and
Kiplins there was a warm friendship.
Mr.. kiplng showed no inclination to be-
come intimate with his neighbors when
he moved into his house THE Naulahka"
near Brattleboro. and such of them as be-
came obstrusive were srubbed. Mr.. Kip
ling let it be understood that he wanted
to select his acquaintances and that other
people would oblige him by not intruding
This only whetted the curiosity of some
of his neighbors, and when his disagree
mcnt with his brother-in-iaw whom he
charged with threatening to kill him, was
submitted to the courts for settlement tho
interest in the trial was such that well-to-
do citizens perChed in window seats and
wherever they could wedge in to hear the
testimony. one of the lawyers in the case
said that if the trial could have been held
as an attraction at the county fair 1t
would have drawn 1900 persons at 81 a
head. The ordeal was disagreeable for
Mr., Kiping, although he had the sympa-
thy of many friends. Mr.. Kipling invari-
ably declines TO be interviewed in this
country, but one of the yellow journals,
thinking that after the court proceeding
he might be- induced to talk for publca-
ton, sent young woman up to Brattle-
boro to see him. When she reached Kip
lings house She sent him a note telling
him that she had come all the way from
New York to interview him and that even
If he would not say anything please
couldn't she not SEQ him for moment
The only response to this was kipling' S
private secretary, who politely requested
the yellow journals representative to
leave. If Balestier's action should ever
get into court in Brattleboro Mr.. Kipling
may he sure of an audience such as never
has gathered in that place for any pur-
pose.
