ments that he was injured in the shoulder
and afterwards took out policy in this
| company with one Joe Emerson, who has
since been discharged as agent. Mr.. Nell
| son put in what he supposed was an honest
| claim but the company refused to entertain
it. The matter was settled Friday by Mr..
Adams refunding to Mr.. Nelson all the pre-
miums he had paid in, and paying all costs
in the matter so far Mr.. Nelson then sur
rendered his policy and the matter was set
tied. There Is no doubt but what the claim
could have been successfully resisted by
the company in court, but they preferred to
| settle, and obtain possession of policy that
was issued by an irresponsible agent
There was one feature Of the city meeting
on Friday evening which was far from be-
| ing dull, to wit, the ILLUSTRATED" lecture on
the Golden Fleece property by III. W.
Kemp. 1t reminded one observer OF the
moonlight scene in the illustrated lecture
on the "Rocky Mountains" by Artemas
Ward. In Mr.. Kemps lecture, the hall
was darkened and what il said to have
| been, by those who were near enough to
make 1t out, drawing Of the Golden
Fleece and adjacent property was projected
on screen by small magic lantern. AS
Mr. Kemp explained the lay of the land
Mayor Senter attempted to also locate it on
the screen with his index finger, but the
particular spot sought by the mayor was
like the Irishman's flea, when he put his
finger on it, 1t wasn't there. The operator
in trying to get better focus by shifting the
slide kept the mayor hopping about trying to
locate the places referred to by Mr..
Kemp. The whole thing was an apt
illustration OF the scheme Of buying the
property. 1t has been focused upon the
people from time to time but they have
kept shifting it off their financial screen.
Charles Terrio, the twelve-years-old son
OF Joseph Terrlo, who was arrested Monday
afternoon on the charge Of stealing Shet-
land pony from William Cassie of Barre,
was taken before Justice A. G. Fay of that
city and a hearing in the case is set for Sat
urday afternoon in Barre. The lads bail
was fixed at $500 which was furnished and
the boy released from custody. The boys
story of the affair is that Saturday after
noon he visited Barre and went to the sta
bles Of Mr.. Cassie where other boys were
saddling ponies preparatory to taking a
ride by permission Of the owner. Young
| Terrio asked the other boys If they thought
Mr.. Cassie would object to his taking ride
| too, and upon their stating they thought it
would be all right he saddled one of the
| ponies and rode to this city, arriving about
six o'clock in the evening. He purchased
| the animal some oats and carefully cared
for it intending to return it the next morn
ing but his plan was frustrated by an officer
coming to the city Saturday evening and
taking the animal back to Barre. Those
who are acquainted with the facts in the
case do not believe the boy intended to
steal the pony as in all his acts he did not
attempt to conceal any Of his movements.
