GOLDEN WEDDING

Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbur f. Braman OF this
city on Sunday, June 9, celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary. Be
cause OF the fact that the anniversary fell
on Sunday and that Mr.. and Mrs. Braman
are both in feeble health, the event was not
publicly observed.
Mr.. Braman is one of the business men
OF Montpelier OF a former generation and
has always been held in the highest es-
TEEN. He was born in Washington, July
IS, 1926. Mrs. Braman was born in Chelsea,
February lS, 1878 They were married at
Chelsea, June 81 1851. by Rev o. NJ Legate
the then Methodist pastor at Chelsea. I'M
mediately after their marriage they came TO
Montpelier to reside. For five years Mr.
Braman was clerk in the hardware store of
Hubbard q Blake He then bought ont
the concern and took in George w. Tilden
OF Barre as partner under the firm name
of Braman % Tilden. This firm continued
TO do large Wholesale and retail hardware
business in Montpelier for eight years when
Mr.. Tiden retired and Mr.. Braman took in
j. Warren Lamb az a partner. AT the end
OF another five years the business was sold
to T. q. Barrows who has since continued
1t and is yet in active business life.
Mr., Bramau was one OF the original
founders Of the Union Mutual Fire Insur.
ance Company OF Montpelier. During the
early struggles of that company, before it
bad gained the solid financial strength it
enjoys today, Mr. Braman was one of its
strongest supporters. AS director, seore.
tary, and teasurer Of the company, he al
ways welded a laboring oar. He retired
from the dictatorship of the company in
1878 and since that time has not been in act
i've business. Mr.. and Mrs. Braman have
no children. Surrounded by all the COM
forts of life In their declining years, and
possessing the confidence and esteem Of all
who know them, and who have known
them through their long life, the congrstu-
latons that will be extended to them ss
they reach the fittieth milestone of their
life's journey together, will be hearty and
sincere.

1868. which equals Sl32.S4 as

q large part of the labor on his q

was 1872 per acre, it still left him
the handsome profit of 500 per

speaker in Holly received closer
attention and never has one more

at the head Of the philosophical
department Of the Colorado State
university. BE has made .
thorough study Of pedagogical
questions, including extended
courses in Germany and Wor-
cester. He is author of text
book on Rhetoric and is an ac-
knowledgeti authority in certain
lines Of literary work. His eni.
nent ability and experience along
these two lines qualify him to pre-
sent the great dramatists portrayal
of character as seen from the
view points of both, the psycholo-
gist and litterateur. 1t is no slight
tribute to the intelligence of his
audience to say that it was able to
follow him through his exhaustive
study of the adolescent characters
of Shakespeare and to appreciate
the pc dagogical theories and prin-
ciples enyolyed.

WHAT WAS THEIR PuRposE7
Guard at the Mckinley Tomb Tells q
Strange Story Of Two
Pr0wlers.

Canton, o.. Sept. 3O.-A strange
story came from Westlawn cemetery
last night, where a company of regu-
lars from Fort Wayne, Mich, are
guarding the vault in which the BODY
OF the late President Mckinley lies.
1t is to the effect that the guard on
duty on top of the vault fired shot
at one man who refused to heed his
challenge; that the shot was diverted
by another man who appeared from
another direction and that an effort
was made to stab the guard. Military
regulations prevent either the Off
GERS or the men of the post from be-
Ing quoted on any matter connected
with their service and for this reason
Capt. Biddle, who is in command, was
obliged to decline to be quoted at
the camp last night. He will make
full report to his superiors at once.
While there seems to be no doubt
that at least two providers attempted
to reach the vault, there is much diff
ference of opinion as to the object of
the intruders, who evidently made
good their escape, as the cemetery
has been searched over in vain.
