Walter Curtis was before the district

for disturbing the peace and escaping from

months in the house of correction. one
month being for escaping from the officer.
Curtis is man with record, as he served
term of five years in state prison for TAX

field several years ago, and is now on his
fourth sentence at the Greenfield Jail. He
was in the Jail at the time of the O'Neil
murder trial, and was a government wit

had with some of his fellow prisoners. He
has been driving an ore team from the Da-

ANNIv ERsARY EXERCISES.

At the close of the morning service at
the Baptist church last Sunday, the ami
versary Bible school exercises took place.
and the attendance reached high-water
mark-4G5 being present, more than at
any service in the history of the school ex-
cept possibly on rally days.
The superintendent at the opening in
troduced Erastus +. White of Natick.
Mass, as the oldest living superintend-
ent. Mr.. White was superintendent dnr-
ing the years of 1S54-55, but during the
latter year left town for Michigan, where
he lived for 30 to 40 years, and has recent
ly moved to Massachusetts. He spoke with
much interest regarding the former days
in the history of the school, giving some
interesting and amusing instances in con-
nection Herewith He stated a fact con-
corning the early history of the school
which has always been a noticeable feature
In the management, namely: that the corps
of teachers was exceptionally devoted and
helpful, and because of this the labors of
the superintendent were comparatively easy
and pleasant.
After Mr.. Whites remarks, Superin-
I tendent Hawley called on S. II. Warren.
who served the school as superintendent
in 1877 and 1878, and Gen Estey, who
served IN similar capacity from 1879 TO
1884 1t was evidently surprise to very
many members of the school that these
brethren had ever served in that capacity.
as they have been at the head of flourish
ing classes for many years.
The superintendent address, of course,
covered somewhat the same ground as the
morning anniversary sermon, and no es-
pecial reproduction of it is therefore neces-
sary.
Although the church was organized in
April, 1910, the Bible school was not form
ed until the second Sunday in June.
The present incumbent of the superin-
tendent's office was elected in 1885, and
has served continuously since that time.
The present membership of the school,
including the home department, is about
600, with an average attendance in the
main school of about 800, and in the home
department of about 70. About 1876 new
names have been added to the roll during
the past year.

Mccormick Hung in EGigy.

West SwRnzey Man Who Said He Was
Robbed by Woman In New York Also
Warned 10 Leave TOwn---NOt a Minis
ter.
Frank O. Mccormick of West Swanzey.
reported recently to have been robbed Of
$500 by a woman in New York city, the
amount in one despatch being placed at
$500, while posing as a clergym n, met
with warm reception on his return home.
Tuesday night an effigy of Mccormick
was hung by a crowd of citizens between
two fiagpoles on the West Swanzey village
common, amid jibes and jeers, the blow
ing of horns and a general hubbub. The
effigy was rugged out with dress suit and
a large gold brick was held in one hand.
An emphatic notice to leave town at once
was also sent Mccormick at his home.
Wednesday morning the effigy was cut
down, placed in wagon, and triumphant
ly carted through the streets of the village.
Mccormick, during his three years resi-
dence in West Swanzey, has made his
home with his mother who is a house
keeper. He has a wife and child. For
merly he was a freight brakeman, but of
late has posed as an artist. People who
know him are incredulous about the
amount of money involved in the alleged
robbery, for they say he has had no occu-
patton besides selling stereopticon pictures
that would yield him such sum.

That it does not always pay to play the
Good Samaritan in New York was the
lesson Rev. Frank Mccormick OF West
Swanzey, Y. II learned Friday night. 1t
cost him 5000 to learn.
Rev. Mr.. Mccormick, who was staying
at the Grand Union hotel, was walking up
Fifth avenue shortly after 8 o'clock Friday
night. At 10th street he noticed woman
staggering and about to fall He hastened
to her side.
Are you faint, madame?" asked the
minister, at the same time supporting her.
"Only wrenched ankle,n the woman
replied. Hold me for a moment and I'll be
all right SO the minister held her for
several minutes, he admits-until the pain
decreased, and then, with gallant bow, he

few blocks farther up the avenue the
minister had occasion to feel in the pocket
of his long frock coat. He discovered the
pocket empty. A wallet containing S2S in
cash and S57l in certified checks was gone.
Also package of letters.

After he had telegraphed to his wife at

package containing his empty wallet and
his papers. Across the face of the wrap.

Political schem. That Failed.

IRON the barre Times OF Saturday.
The latest move of the Plumley cohorts
in this city is to attempt to influence ad-
mirers of ex-Gov. Dillingham; to vote for
Plumley delegates on the alleged ground
that Gen. Grout has recently promised his
support to Col. Haskins. II will be an
easy lot of flies that are caught by this
kind of molasses. Gen. Grout is one of
the shrewdest politicians who ever dwelt
within the borders of Vermont and lust at
present he is doing his prettiest to keep
the supporters of all the candidates for
the lower house as friendly to himself as
possible. At all times though the general
is a man of wit and political sagacity and
naturally he has edged away from Plumley
little of late when he saw that Plumley
was proving a weak candidate with no pos
sible chance for success. Don't be fooled.
The contest is between Stafford and Has
kils and ii Gen. Grout coquettes with
Haskins it is because he cannot with Stat
ford and because he realizes that Plumley
will not figure in the final result anyway.
