ORLEANS COUNTY COURT.

County Court opened Wednesday
morning, with Judge Tyler presiding,
assisted by Judges Mathews and
Cleveland. After prayer by Rev. Mr..
Newell, the docket was called, and
adjourned until two O'Clock.
In the afternoon the court instruct
ed the grand and petit jurors in their
duties, and the case Of Edward Lafam
VS.. the Missisquoi Pulp Co. was called
and a Jury empanelled, consisting
of Messrs. Adams and Rollins
of Greensboro, Arthur and King of
Glover, Beebe Of Westmore, Clark Of
Irasburgh, Lunt of Derby, Merrill of
Craftsbury, Pinney of Holland, Sar-
gent and Wright of Coventry, and
Wakeman ofJay. This case was tried
last March, and the jury disagreed.
The condition of the docket indicates
q short term, but the grand jury may
turn out some business which will
Iengthen it.
The Laham case continued through
Thursday, and at adjournment the
defence had nearly completed their
case, ready for the rebuttal of the
plaintiff. The plaintiff claims dam
ages for an injury to his left hand by
being caught in the gears of a pump,
which he claims the defendant told
him to oil as part of his duties. The
defendant denies this and says that
he volunteered to oil it and was very
careless in doing so. There is a con-
fiict in the testimony, and the defend
ants offer the evidence of several
witnesses to contradict the plaintiff.
The arguments in the case ofLaflam
VS.. the DIissisquoi Pulp Co., occupied
nearly all day Friday. j. W. Red
mond for the plaintiff, and George
Young and A. A. Hall for the defense.
Judge Tyler charged the jury, and
gave them the case at 4p. m. and they
agreed in a short time, giving the
plaintiff verdict for S1400. The case
will no doubt go to the supreme court.
The grand jury reported at 4:20 p. m.
and handed in three true bills.
NOTES.
Col. A. A. Hall of st. Albans is in
attendance upon court.
William B. Wall of Randolph, ex-

tor, all-round politician, was in at

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY SHOT.

President Mckinley was shot while
| holding a public reception at the Pan
American exposition last Friday af-
ternoon. Two shots were fred, one
taking effect in the breast and passing
upward was removed while the other
passed through the stomach and is
lod ged in the muscles of the back.
The president was shot at the moment
of a remarkable demonstration of the
popular affection in which he is held.
Thousands of people were in attend
ance at the public reception and the
would be assassin had no trouble in
getting to the side of the president
and when shaking his hand drew a
revolver and fred two shots before
he could be seized. The president
was immediately taken to a hospital
and the best medical authority in the
city was summoned. The assassin
was seized before he had time to lower
his smokinS revolver, and a dozen of
the officers crushed him to the floor.
The artillery and guard cleared the
building and the assassin was taken
in charge by the soldiers. He gave
his name as Leon Czolgosz, stated that
he was born in Detroit and is twenty
eight years old. When asked why he
shot President Mckinley he replied,
81 am an anarchist. I only did my
duty"
The assassin had been laying in
wait for several days with the inten-
ton of killing the president at the
first opportunity. He claims that he
was the originator CT the plan but it is
thought by the police that there are
others come cted with him.
The president is in very critical
condition and peritonitis is feared.
An incision was made in the abdomen
and the intestines were examined and
it was found they had not been per
forated.
Mrs. Mckinley received the news
calmly and is bearing up under the
shock very well.
News received this morning is to
the effect that the president is resting
well and is as comfortable as could be
expected, with chances fair for his
recovery.

The meeting of the Vermont Fish

Friday was well attended and was a
most enjoyable affair. Ex-Lieut. Gov.
n. w. Fisk extended the freedom of
the island to the visitors and made
every effort to make the day an enjoy
able one. Much credit is due Presi
dent Titcomb and those who assisted
him in making up the excellent pro-
gram and for the manner in which it
was carried out. Many distinguished
visitors were present, among them
being Vice Pres. Roosevelt, who was
heartily cheered and whose remarks
were listened to with great interest.
While each speaker emphasized the
fact that there was to be no politics in
the speeches one speaker created con-
siderable merriment by stating that
he had not seen a man who appeared
to be fishing or hunting but that all
were"sawing wood" Amore extend

the American people could be shown
than that manifested Friday by the one

the Kalamazoo hospital at 4 o'clock
Wednesday morning. lie underwent an
operation for appendicitis Friday even
inc of last week, and was apparently
making a rapid recovery, when death
came suddenly. A post mortem showed
that formation on the heart, probably
resulting from an attack of pneumonia
five years ago, was responsible for his
death,
Mr.. Crane was but little past y years
old, and was rising young lawyer. lie
was well and favorably known in Paw

before the operation was performed, ano
made a pleasant call at the office of The
True Northerner.
His father and mother were on The

probable arrangements for the funera
will be delayed until their arrival il

The plurality of 2,l6S in favor OF Judge
Montgomery puts Van Buren, back
where the county belongs in the way OF
republican majority. The republicans
carried every township in the county for
both state and county ticket. Under
such conditions, the voters of the party
should be ashamed to elect II democrat
supervisors and turn the board over to
the control of the enemy.
