Mileage Case Decided.

The supreme court has handed down
their d, cision in the Caledonia county
mileage case of D. F. Holden of Hard
wick VS.. the Rutland Railroad Company,
affirming the decision of the county court
in favor of the defendant corpora
ton to recover its costs. Judge Watson
wrote the opinion, which has been con-
Cured in by the other judges. F. H. But
ton and W. H. Button of Middlebury,
were attorneys for the railroad, and were
assisted by Harry BIodgett.
The case grew out OF mistake mace
BY the ticket seller OF the railroad, who
wrote upon a mileage ticket purchased
by the plaintiff at the Burlington station
in November, 1897, the name of A F.
Holden instead of D. F. Holden as the
person entitled to use of ticket. The
plaintiff, who resided in Hardwick, used
the ticket once, but upon a second trip
from Burlington to Rutland the conduc-
tor refused to receive the mileage in pay
ment Of fare and caused the arrest OF the
plaintiff, and trial was had before
Justice OF the peace in Rutland upon a
complaint charging the plaintiff with
evading payment of fare. Holden was
adiudged guilty was fined two dollars
and costs, but upon appeal to the Rut-
land county court the complaint was
adjudged insufficient upon demurrer and
he was discharged.
He thereupou commenced suit against
the railroad, through his attorney, E H.
Deavit, of Montpelier, claiming damages
! of SIS 600. The case went TO the SUI
preme court on a demurrer being filed
to the declaration, but the supreme court
decided that the declaration was INSULT
Gent and rtmanded the case to the
county court for trial on the merits
The case was tried at county court at
St. Tohrsbury, in June, 1900, when Chief
| Judge Taft directed verd ct for the de-
fendant, it appearing that the mileage
ticket was purchased by the plaintiff
with money obtained from ticket bro,
ker in Hardwick, for whom the plaintiff
bought the ticket, and it also appeared
that the broker had written the name OF
Rosie Holden, the plaintiffs daughter,
upon the ticket as a member OF the

Burglars Battle with Citizens.

in a brick building occupied by C. A..
Marshall, merchant, and after a des-
perate running battle with citizens,
in which Marshall was slightly wound

fatally shot, escaped with a small
amount of booty. The safe contained
several hundred dollars in cash and
many valuable papers and all was

London, April S.-Lord Kitchener

ments are in progress for the speedy
relief Of further companies. He thus
appears to be endeavoring to meet
the demand that fresh troops be sent

The Pretoria correspondent Of the

trymen against hoping for an early
termination Of hostilities or believ.
ing the stories that the Beers are
tired Of war, says: ut becomes daily
more evident that the Beers intend
to fight to q finish. Many are sur
rendering, but they are men Of no
standing. The real fighting men are
still on commando; and, although the
recently successful British operations
tend TO bring the end nearer, 1t Is
evident that the Beers must be COM

C0MNISSARY FRAUDS
Gen. Macarthur Gables That They
Are Not Very Serious
PRESS REPORTS SAID TO BIZ INEXACT


Washington, April A cablegram
was received yesterday at the war de-
partment from Gen. Macarthur at
Manila saying that the commissary
frauds were being investigated and
they were not of sufficient gravity to
cause concern, the press reports be-
ing misleading and inexact. Gen.
MacArthur's dispatch, as well MS other
information received concerning the
frauds, leave considerable doubt as
to the exact character Of these alleged
populations. Gen. Macarthur speaks
OF "sales." These sales consist of
savings by the soldiers on the regular
rations issued, which they ore al
lowed to dispose of for their own
benefit. Generally the savings are
made a company matter and are dis
posed OF in bulk 70 the highest bid
ders. They may be returned to the
commissary department and bought
In by the government at cost price,
but there is no reason why they
should not be sold elsewhere II the
company fund should so desire. As
army rations do not pay the usual
duty imposed on similar goods used
for private consumption, the soldiers
could make quite a profit on their
savings If they were of considerable
amount. Sales from commissary
stores, not including the regular ra-
ton, are made to officers and men,
but only upon certificate or declara-
ton that they are for the personal
use Of the purchaser. It is said that
no great amount Of such sales could
be used by any person or persons
without detection. Officers or men
purchasing such stores and re-selling
them would be guilty Of violating the
army regulations and would be sub
feet to court-martial. As to the other
savings they are upon the regular ra-
tions issued to each company. They
might be in -four, meat, sugar or any
number Of staplc articles included in
