Mr.. Boutwell, Named
as Trial Justice for
Fourth Time.

A SHAKE-UP PROMISED

North Brookfeld April 6.-Sylvander
Boutwell, today received notice that at
Yesterdays meeting of the governors
council, he was reappointed trial JUS
tice for North Brookfield and the first
congratulations he received except
from the members of his own family,
were those of The Spy. 1t is the
fourth time that Massachusetts govern
ors have appointed him trial justice,
and the probabilities are that his re-
appointments will continue just as long
as he cares to mete out justice in his
district
He has Just completed his tenth year
as trial justice, and during this time
he has met with no opposition for the
office by any one ambitious to pass
judgment on criminals. Nor is there
any Likelihood that any one will enter
competition against him, if at the end
of the three years for which he has
lust been appointed he should decide to
stand for another term. If any one
has the hardihood to so act, his chances
will be slim. as the 10 years during
which the venerable gentleman has
acted as trial justice have been
fraught with success.
Justice Boutwell, was appointed to the
position which he now holds shortly
after the demise of Charles E. jerks,
who had administered here for several
years. His thorough knowledge of the
town. its needs and its people made
him at that time the best man for the
place, and as he was available, he was
appointed without delay His record
in office has borne out the judgment
of the men who placed him there, and
even breakers who are not gener-
ally inclined to waste any love on men
in his position, are prone to admit that
he is as lenient as any one in this po-
sition could well be.
Like many other men who have be-
come prominent in North Brool1fieid in
different walks of life, Justice Both
well was born in Oakham. 1t is pc
culiar fact that large number of the
towns we'll known men claim that lit
tie village nestled in among the hills
as their birthplace, but it is a fact,
nevertheless. The present trial justice

Grafton, April 6.-The officers of the
First Baptist Sunday school, as chosen
for the ensuing year, are John Chaplin,
superintendent; Miss Lillian Goddard,
assistant superintendent; John L.
Bishop, treasurer; George Hitchings,
secretary; Alfred Dupre, librarian. Mr..
Chaplin, who was chosen superintend-
ent, succeeds Cyrus r. Axtell, who has
held the position during the past sew
enteen years, and steps aside for
younger leaders.
The prospects are now fair that
Grafton will again be one of the lead
ing interschOlastic base ball towns of
the league, which has in the past two
years been composed Of this town,
Whitinsville, NOrthbridge, WestbOro,
Milford and Upton. Last year Grafton
finished second place and held a good
position during the whole season. The
high school students are anxious to be
in the league this year. and with the
strong representatives they bid fair to
again hold place near the head of
the list.
f. E. Guy Of Worcester furnished
monograph selections at the social of
the Baptist Society, which was held in
the church parlors last evening. A

entertainment. A book sociap will be
held at the same place on the evening

came into prominence here, and for

When a crowd of the older men of

of State Detective Peleg f. Murray of
Worcester, the young girl was found a
short time ago in that city, where she
had been placed in a private house of
refuge.
The Danbruski girl is but 16 years of
age, and left home under very mys-
FERROUS circumstances about two
months ago. The family supposed that
she had retired as usual one night, and
were struck with establishment when
she could not be found in the morning
