CASHIER FOUND GUILTY.

The trial of Harry Casner. who is
now pretty we'll known on this side
OF the mountain, on the charge of
charge Of horse stealing, was begun
in Rutland County court Tuesday
morning and the case was concluded
Wednesday. AT $50 o'clock the jury
returned Il verdict OF guilty.
Casner himselfappeared unmovcd,
but his mother was brokcn-hearte,l
and burst into tears. Casner was
taken back to the county Jail at the
conclusion of the trial by Deputy
Sheriff Stearns. He will probably
be sentenced soon.
Among the prosecutions witnesses
from Woodstock were Clinton
Mower, Deputy Sheriff Thomas and
Hiel Thompson, the latter two talk
ing part in the shooting following
the Quechee robbery.
Casner was called to the stand in
the afternoon. The young man told
plausible story and made good
appearance, says the Rutland Her.
aid. He said he came to Vermont
from Asbury Park, \. j., on the in
vitation of Cowdrey, who promised
him some good hunting. When
they left Cowdrey's home in Castle
ton and went to Rutland they were
on their way to the mountains, where
Cowdrey said they could gather gnm
worth ST. a pound When they got
there the respondent changed his
mind and declined to 60 to the
mountains. Cowdrey then proposed
that they hire a team and dive to
Proctor and see his relatives. Cas-.
ner assented to this, and after some
trouble thcv obtained rig at Cand-
lish's stable. Respondent did not
know where Proctor was, and so
was not surprised when they drove
over the mountain. After they had
been riding about two hours Cow
drey told the respondent that he was
Il horse thief, us thew had passed the
place for which they had hired the
team. "Now you're in it," said
Cowdrey, according to the witness,
"and you nave got to stand by me,
or | will put bullet through YOU"
On cross-eXamination Casner de-
scribed the robbery of Scott Tink-
ham at Quechoe, laying the blame
for the whole affair on Cowdrey.
He said he knew nothing of Cow
drey's intention until they had almost
lcached the door of the store, when
Cowdrey threatened to shoot him it
he backed out.
AWAITING TRIAL IN WINDSOR
COUNTY.
Cowdrey has pleaded gr,ii48tv to
horse stealing. Both men will be
sentenced and be brought to Wind
sor to remain until the Windsor
County court opens, then will be
tried for the Quechec burglary and
for the shooting affair.

BROKEN BRlC-A-BRACS.

Mr.. Major. the famous cement man, of
New York. explains some very interesting
facts abOnt Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard ar
ticle know that it is many hundred per
cent, better than other cements for which
similar claims are made. but great many
do not know why. The simple reason is
that Mr.. Major uses the best materials
ever discovered and other manufacturers
do not use them, because they are too eX-
pensive and do not allow large profits Mr..
Major tells us that one of the elements of
his cement costs 80 Is Il pound. and an
OF her costs 1896 a gallon, while large
glue upon the market are nothing more
than sixteen-cent glue. dissolved in water
or citric acid, and in some cases, altered
slightly in color and odor by the addition
of cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails ut fifteen and
twenty-five cents bottle, and when u
dealer tries to sell a substitute you can de-
pend upon it that his only object is to make
larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much
As any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this is douby true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the bene-
fit of Mr. Majors advertising, which now
amounts to over 5000 II month. throughout
the country. Estab ished in 1876.
