FINED 500 AND COSTS.

Lewis Z,ncRn OF west DummerstOn
Fell a Victim to states Attorney Bar
ber's watchfuIness---Got Beer Under
Cover of Darkness.
Lewis Zincan of West Dummerston took
another degree in prohibition Wednesday
night and yesterday morning, paying
$126 SO in "dues." Zancan is an Italian
and he is employed in the granite quarry
in West Dummerston. He also keeps
boarding house for the convenience of
other employees at the quarry. A year ago
Brattleboro officers raided his place Of bust
ness and found liquor, and Imcan was
fined for violating the prohibitory law.
The officers have been suspicious Of him
ever since, but they have had no conclu-
sive evidence against him.
On Wednesday night States Attorney
Barber saw Zancan drive through Main
street and across the covered bridge toward
the brewery. In his wagon were two kegs
which led the states attorney to believe
that Zancan's mission was to get the kegs
filled. He notified Chief of-Police Hall to
watch for Iancan and to arrest him il he
reappeared on this side of the river. That
was about II o'clock. Soon afterward
Zancan reappeared and Chief Hall started
TO make the arrest, but Iancan whipped his
horse and was soon out of Mr.. Halls
reach.
Sheriff Gordon and Mr. Barber then Sc
cured team and started in pursuit of
Zancan. They drove past him a short
distance south of G. d. Whitman's place.
Sheriff Gordon then got out of his car
rage, and Iancan was easily caught. He
protested that Mr.. Gordon had made a
mistake, that he had nothing in his kegs,
etc, but the bluff did not work, and the
kegs were taken to Mr.. Whitman's house
where it was found that they contained
lager beer.
Zancan was brought back to this village
and was placed in the lookup, where he
remained over night. Yesterday morning
be telephoned TO West Dummerston for
his brother and another Italian, and the
three agreed upon what course to pursue
During the forenoon a hearing was held
before Justice 7. J. d. CudwOrth. The
beer was ordered destroyed and the costs
amounting to Sl6.l6, taxed against Zan-
can. Iancan was then arraigned before
Justice Cudworth. He pleaded guilty to
the charge of keeping With the intent to
sell, and he was fined 500 and costs
amounting TO $12G So Zancan immedi-
ately drew the money from one of the
banks and settled Zlncan said be had
been getting two loads week from the
brewery for his own use.

AN ASPARAGUS AFFAIR.
The Annual FAir and Festival by the
Congregational Women, and the Feat
ares That Made IL Success.

ureh IhAt Made It success.
The annual fair and festival last even
| ing by the women of the Congregational
church was, as one man expressed II for
emphasis, ian asparagus affair." A very
| large attendance, beautiful decorations, an
excellent supper and an enjoyable enter
tainment were the features which made
it an unqualified success. The supper was
served from $50 to 1870 o'clock. The
tables extended from the centre diagonally
across the vestry to the corners of the
room, and over them were ropes of aspara-
gus which made pretty effect. The sides
and windows of the room were also hand
somely decorated with asparagus and
daisies.
In the south end of the vestry were
| booths where aprons, flowers and fancy
articles were sold. The apron booth was
decorated in green and was presided over
by Mrs. W. F. Root and Mrs. w. A. Gil
bert; the flower booth was in white and
was in charge of Miss Edith Green and
Miss Marcia Parker, and the booth for
fancy articles, which was in green, was in
charge of Mrs. S. O. Miner, Mrs. f. D.
Whitney and Mrs. D. p. Webster. In the
vestibule candy was sold by Miss Ella
Waite and Miss Pearl Gibson from green
and white booth, and cook books entitled
1.-THE Centre Church Cuisine" made up
of recipes by the women of the parish,
were sold by Miss Genevieve Slate and
Miss Emma Dutton.
After supper Organist Leitsinger gave
recital for half an hour, which was thor
oughly enjoyed and appreciated. A con-
cert program was then rendered in the
church, consisting of an organ piece by
Mr. Leitsinger; reading "Nydia," from
Last Days of Pompeii," Litton by Miss
Rosamond Taylor of Brooklyn, N. Y; a
duet "A Flight of Clouds" by Mrs. John
Frost and Miss Stebbins of Vernon; "a
Sisterly Scheme" by Miss Taylor; Tuscan
folk song, Nearest and Dearest" by Mrs.
Frost and Miss Stebbins, and two short
readings by Miss Taylor AS a reader
Miss Taylor ranks among the best who
have appeared in Brattleboro in recent
years. Although her selections varied
widely in sentiment her mastery of one
was as complete as that of another, and
her charming personality, pleasant voice
and excellent stage presence made her
work especially noteworthy.
The receipts were about $500. The fair
was under the supervision of Mrs. Fremont
Hamilton, chairman of the hospitality
committee

Deaf and Dumb Girl Restored to Her
Mother.

Chief of-Police Hall solved a peculiar
case early this week by locating the parents
of deaf and dumb girl who was found at
the railroad station Saturday afternoon.
The little girl was about eight years old,
and when found was crying and was APP
parently in deep distress. One of the
women connected with the Elite Stock
company, which is playing at Brookside
park, saw the girl and, taking pity on her,
took her to the hotel in West Brattleboro
where she was staying. Mr.. Hall was no.
titled, but he was unable to make out
much from the girl as she could read and
write but little, From a box which she
had with her, on which was the name of
Susie Robertson, he found that she came
from an institute for the deaf and dumb in
Northampton. He telephoned the insti-
tuition Sunday night and Monday Mr.. WAR,
steward of the school, came to Brattle-
boro 1t seems that the school closed last
week and the children were being sent to
their homes. The Robertson girls mother
formerly lived in Amherst, but she recent
ly moved to Bondvllle. She promised to
meet her daughter here Saturday and so
the girl was left here by the matron who
was passing through Brattleboro with 9th
er students. The mother failed to keep
her agreement, and but for the kindness of
the actress the child would have been
friendless Mr.. WAR took the child to
Bondville Monday night. She had good
time while here, the members of the com
pany treating her with great kindness.
The people of West Brattleboro refused
to believe that the girl was deaf and dumb,
thinking the company were attempting
to play some advertising dodge upon them.
