pig took her little ones and walked

State Fish and Game league, has re-
ceived positive assurance that Vice
President Roosevelt will be present
and speak at the annual banquet OF
the league to be held Sept 6. The
day previous he win speak at the Yer
mont officers reunion at Burlington.

ing is to be held at Isle La Motto
again. Senator Proctor is entitled to
considerable credit in securing Vice

Farms during his stay in Vermont and
it is probable he will accept.
Extensive swindling operations,
carried on by an alleged publishing
company of Philadelphia have been
brought to light. The plan consisted
OF engaging a man to manage an Of
fee with promise OF a salary of Sl25
per month with a commission on sales,
I all expenses to be paid by the COM
ipany. By these promises and various
attractive representations the victim
was induced to sign a deceptice con-
tract and deposit $500 security tor the
stock to be placed in his care, when
the company, which it appears does
business under various names, I'M
loads lot of unsuitable books on him
and is not heard from again. The
game has been worked in Burlington,
Lyndonyllle and Waterbury and nu-
merous attempts to work it in other
towns in the state have been reported.
The operations were conducted so
cleverly as TO catch men of consider
able business experience.
The win of the late Aldace +. Wal
ker, chairman of the board of direc-
tors of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railway system, has been
filed for probate in New York city. He
leaves an estate of $4,000. Mrs.
Katherine Walker the widow, receives
100000 in bonds of the road. The
testator creates two trust funds. which
are placed in the hands of his son,
Roberts Walker. The income OF one
of these trust funds, which is S27 600,
| is TO be paid TO the testator's sister,
/ Mary Manning Walker of Northamp-
ton. Mass. The income from the sec
ond trust, of $4,000, goes to Mrs. Kate
| Robinson Shaw, the widow of the tes-
tator's wife's brother. Henry +. Wal
ker of New York, a brother Of the
! testator. receives $500, and Middle
bury college gets the same amount.
| The testator's children, Robert Harold

1t is expected that the stockholders
of the looted Farmers National bank
of Vergennes will at once be assessed
by the comptroller of the currency to
make up for the stealings OF Cashier
| ID. III. Lewis. An assessment OF 80 per
cent, perhaps 40, is looked Tor Lieut..
Gov NJ. +. Allen of Ferrisburg, vice
president OF the bank, said that the
total deficit will probably not exceed
$4,000, and that $3.50 of this
amount has already been secured, Sl0,-
600 from the Surety company in which
the cashier was bonded. and S2j, 900
which was presumably furnished by
Mrs. Frances Hallett of Boston. He
thought the story that Mrs. Hallett
wanted her money back was true, but
that il was matter between Lewis
and her, rather than for the bank to
settle. Depositors will lose nothing.
The people of Vergennes are still TO a
large extent wonderfully loyal to
Cashier Lewis, who seemingly keeps
his nerve and takes things as matters
of course.
Frank Nichols OF North Cambridge
was arrested last week for starving
and ill-treating his farm animals. He
pleaded guilty TO prodding his horses
with two-inch wire nails fastened in
the end of stick, making the animals

able and crazy. To the charge of
overlooking his team to such an extent
that one of the animals fell in the
harness, when he hitched another
horse to the fallen animals collar and
hauled him up the hill while lying on
his side, thus taking the skin off his
side, he pleaded guilty, and was fined
| $50 and costs of S12.ll, which he paid.
Mr.. Nichols is reputed TO be wealthy
and a regular church attendant. He is
reported as having said to the states
attorney that if he again felt the need
of using his brad on his horses he
should do so, law or no law, but
should take good care no one was
present. The officers served notice ON
him forbidding him to again use any
of his five horses until they were in a
fit condition.
