Frank Shaw and Dustin Shaw broke out
OF Woodstock Jail sometime in the night
between MONDAY and Tuesday. About
five a. m. Tuesday they put In an appear
ance at Horace Hatchs and asked for
their guns, which had been left with
James Hatch. They accounted for their
being out of jail by saying they bad been
bailed out. Officers secured the country
Tues day and Wednesday, but have found
no further trace Of them. They were in
Jail on charges of deer killing and lar
ceny. They have lived on the hill road
between Gaysville and Stoekbridge Com
mon for the past year.
J. ID. Eaton, special agent Of the Conti-
mental Fire Insurance Co., was in town
and settled and paid for the loss sustained
/ by j. II. Waldo in his brick house by the
small fire OF the 10Th. The matter was left
to the appraisal OF Frank Lyman, who
calculated the cost OF the repairs and this
sum was materially increased by Mr..
I Eaton to cover "incidentals." The old
Continental has certainly a reputation
second to no company for square and
prompt settlements. The insurance OF Il.
/ T. Arnold on bis Martin farm barn and OF
Mrs. Eunice Lincoln on her dwelling
burned last winter were also in the Con-
tinentRl and these losses were settled with
the same promptltSde and satisfaction to
the parties.
The sparring bout between Thomas
Maddren % this town and Frank Dunn of
Graniteville at Armorv hall, Montpelier,
! Wednesday evening OF last week resulted
in draw at the end OF the tenth round.
The crowd was we'll satisfied and not one
could be found to say that the affair was
anything other than a fair and square
fight. AT the end of the tenth round
Referee Jerry Donahue announced that
be was unable to decide which had done
the better work and asked the contest
ants to spar another round. Maddren re-
fused, saying be was 43 years old and had
agreed to spar only ten rounds, at the end |
OF which the decision should be given,and /
appealed to the audience, which agreed /
with him. The referee then declared the /
match a draw and all seemed satisfied /
With the decision. There were about 400 /
present and each contestant received /
.l6.25. Mr.. Maddren was born in Lon /
don, Eng, and has been well-known |
sparrer in his day.
As the Workmen have been tearing
down the railroad wooden bridge near the
depot they have thrown the debris into
the river and the school boys have tished
out the boards below and made RATS.
About half past ten Monday morning
John Hartwell stepped on one OF these
RATS and Julian Foster gave the raft a
slight push that sent IL out into the
stream. The current is quite swift and
before long the boy was in mid stream
and a mile and a halt OF water between
him and the Blue Hill dam. He had a
board in his hands and by padding he
brought bis craft close to the island and
Jumped off. He was now monarch OF all
be surveyed-a veritable miniature Rob-
inson Crusoe. He patroled the islanu
from end to end IN search OF the goat and
faithful Friday, but the weather has been
cold and they had not Matched out.
After dinner his father, W. II. Hartwell,
chartered the boat OF Teddy Bowen and
with the aid Of r. W. Morse. chronometer,
gallant rescue was effected with ID. ="
Rogers, captain, and Charles Pecor, first
mate. Congressman Grout has kindly
consented TO introduce a bill to build a
government lighthouse at the head Of the
slsnd for future mariners.
