STATE OF VERMONT

The Washington correspondent of
the Free Press sends the following,
which is of general interest:
Within few days it is expected
that a suit will be held in the court
of claims to recover a considerable
sum for the State of Vermont on ac-
count of money expended during the
civil war in the equipment of troops.
The exact amount to be specified in
the suit is not known, but the pa
pers are now at Montpelier. The suit
has been prepared by Gen. John B.
Cotton, of this city, formerly of Lew
iston, Me-. and once law partner of
Senator Frye of that State, and by
William f. White, the Senator $
grandson. They have large law
office on f street, this city, and are
specialists in that class of work. The
favorable outcome of the suit is said
to be a certainty, based on recent
decision of some two weeks ago i'll the
court of claims favorable to Maine,
by which that State RECEIVERS some
$l31, 000
Briefly, the ground for recovery is
this: Complying with the order of
President Lincoln early i'll the war,
Vermont, as did many other northern
states, raised money to equip several
regiments of troops. The federal gov
eminent pledged itself to reimburse
the states for expenses incurred in this
work. AS Vermont did not have suffi-
cient money in the State treasury
bonds were sold to raise the necessary
funds. After some years the princi-
pal of these bonds was paid but the
government held that it could not
pay interest money. This interest
amounted to very large sums, as the
bonds ran for several years. Although
the claim was pressed for interest il
was of no avail. Finally q decision
was rendered by the courts favorably
to New York state. Taking this as q
cue Gen. Cotton some two years age
arranged with Maine to press he1
claim for interest and after long argu.
ments and much delay he has secured
favorable decision for that State, as
we'll as for Rhode Island and New
Hampshire. Now he has arranged
with Vermont authorities to try theiI
suit. With the favorable decision in
the other cases, the way is thought tC
be clear for Vermont.
Gen. Cotton is also taking up SINH
lar claims for numerous other states
of similar character After the de.
cision by the Court of Claims an ap-
preparation by Congress becomes nee.
essary but that is not at all &difficult.

SERIOUS CHARGE

Frank Bowman of B IRE at whose house
Miss Grace Hutton was retained while alb
sent from home recently, has been arrest
ed, charged with criminal assault on Miss
Hutton and has been taken to Montpelier
jail pending n hearing.
Bowman is also charged with adultery
with young woman resident of his fam
lily When the officers went to arrest him
about midnight Wednesday night il is said
they found him under compromising con-
ditions The case bids fair to be one of
the most unsavory ever aired in this
county AMI the greatest sympathy is felt
for Miss Hutton and her family as it APP
pears she was inYeigled to the owman
place and kept there against her will.
The arrest was made by Chief Brown
and Deputy Clark on warrant issued by
States Attorney Hoar and the case will
go directly into county court on an in
formation filed by Mr. Hoar Bowman
was badly scared when arrested. 1t was
reported that he was preparing to skip
and the house was surrounded by officers
when the arrest was made.
States Attorney Hoar, in speaking of
Bowmans cTse today, said he had mol
pressed the other charges he made against
Bowman when he was arrested and there
is but one against him, that of rape, but
he will probably bring others later as the
evidence is opened up to him.
Mr.. Hoar said from what he has learned
so far the case is one of the most degrad-
ing he has ever known and that Mrs
Bowman will undoubtedly be tried as
principal with her husband.
Bowman is brutal and boorsh in ap-
pearance He has resided in Barre for
the past six or eight years, he and his
wife rooming at the Hutton house at one
time OF late he has been employed as
Jumper at the granite works of Ryle &
Crimmius of this city
Mr.. Hcar says that from the evidence it
| appears Bowman had rented house in
N ontpelier and intended to make it one
| of i'll repute. When being brought to this
city by Deputy Sheriff Camp on Wednes-
| day, Bowman pointed out the house to
| the officer. 1t was at the Pioneer village.
| 1t is understood by MIR. Hoar that on
| the night the Hutton girl disappeared she
| came back to Barre and to the Bowman
house with Montpelier young man. AS
| he is known he will probably figure in the
| case
Bowman and his wife urged Miss Hut
| ton to stay with them and 90 to Mont
| pelier and reside with them, where her
| father could never find her Finally
when the officers were narrowing down
| the clue for her search she returned &c
| her home, where she was found
Miss Hutton's family connections in
| clude some of the most respectable and
| highly esteemed people of Barre and they
have the sympathy of the community
Bowman was brought into county court
| Wednesday afternoon and bail was fixed
| at $1,000 He could not furnish surety ano
| is now in jail to await trial.

and Then Wonder What Ais them.
Your watch stops. You shake it, Still
it refuses to go. You take it to the jeweler.
He first looks to see if the hands are caught.
If not, he takes out the balance wheel and
examines the pin and pivots. He may not
find the real trouble for days. Often the
watch is simply run down and the owner
doesn't notice it, which seems funny. The
human body gets out of order. We call
that "disease," giving it some description
or other, according to location and symp-
toms. We take the body to the body

what he thinks best. Sometimes he sets it

DESERTED HIS FAMILY.

A family consisting of a wife and
three small children living at the vii
lage of South Barre, is minus hus-
band and father under circumstances
that indicates either insanity on his
part or the meanest kind of wilful de-
sertion On Tuesday morning Deem
Der 3, John Winterson left home car
rying his dinner pail and leaving his
wife and children to suppose that he
was going to work as usual at one of
the quarries at Graniteville where
he had been employed.
He has not since been seen by his
family or by any of his acquaintance
at South Barre.
When he did not return at night his
wife became alarmed and walked two
miles through the snow to see the
quarry foreman only to find out that
her husband had quarrelled with the
foreman and had been discharged and
paid off receiving considerable sum
due him. Mrs. Winterson then thought
her husband had met with some acct
dent and labored under great mental
strain until Wednesday night when
she got letter from Mr.. Winterson' S
brother, living in Montreal.
The letter stated that her husband
had been there but had left to go to
England, where he was born and grew
up, coming to America only few
years ago. No explanation of his
conduct was given. Mrs. Winterson
was left with three small children
and in delicate health and without
money. The family would have suf-
fered had they not been assisted by
the neighbors. There was no trouble
between husband and wife. Mrs.
Winterson is a quiet, reserved young
woman and is much liked by the
neighbors
