The drug store bars are in many
cases elaborate, and liquor is served
by white-coated keepers with all
the freedom of licensed commun-
ity. You can get any fancy drink
you wish and partake of free lunch
that is in many cases elaborate.
Hotels sell with the same freedom
when there is no crusade on. When
the temperance societies get to work
the bars are shut and the liquor is
served in small bottles iD rooms.
A room is rented for fifty cents and
the amount is duly paid. The mon
ey is deducted from the first round
of drinks, SO the purchaser is not
out anything. Having regularly
hired room the authorities cannot
break in without search warrant,
and by the time that it is procured
the place will be vacant.
"The "illicits"-rumsellers who
do rot stand in with the prosecu-
tors-have a hard time of it, but
they manage to make living and
in some instances get rich. There
is section of Rutland called "Ne-
braska" where the 'illicits'' do
thriving business.
The same is true of sections in all
the larger towns and cities. The
ways taken to fool the authorities
are, to say the least, ingenious.
Whiskey bibles were common up
to few years ago. This device

compartment with a plug in it. To
get the whiskey you opened the
book until you struck the compart-
ment containing the liquor. The
plug was then removed-likewise
the whiskey.
Not long ago it was noted tha9
men congregated in the back yard
of a suspected "illicit." There Wis
its were made at night, and one by
one they were seen to deposit mon
ey with the suspect and then ap-
proach a maple tree. The tree was
inspected, but it was not until, it
was felled that the authorities dis
covered tank inside. This was
connected with a tap made by bor-
ing a small hole in the bark. The
tank had been inserted by drilling
a hole down into the trunk from
pointr where two limbs separated.
The proprietor is now serving time
in the state house of correction,
where he polishes marble.

Baker City, July 26.-William
Buchanan shot his nose off Thurs
day evening, while out hunting on
the Osborn ranch, 10 miles north.
west of this city. He was hunting
with a shotgun when by some
means the piece was accidentally
discharged, the load passing upward
in front of his face in such man
ner as to almost sever his nose
from his face. The member was
left hanging by strip of skin, and
Mr.. Buchanan said he was about
to pull it off and throw it away,
Wien he decided that he had better
let it alone. He was brought to
this city yesterday and placed in
the hospital. The physicians think
they can save his nose, or at least
they have replaced it and are going
to try to save it.

HUNGER -CRAzED DOGS
AMERICAN WOMAN WOMAN IN
FRANCE KILLED BY GREAT
DANES.

New York, July 26.-Mme. Ed
mund Sempis, who before her mar
riage year ago was Miss Louise
Rutherford, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
has been set upon, says Paris dis
patch to the World, by two hunger
maddened Great Dane dogs. which
had been secured to guard her hus-
bands country house at Anneccy-
lake, and so terribly injured that
she died two hours after the acci-
dent.
M. sempis is prominent bust
ness man in Paris. His home is
at Anneccylake, an isolated spot.
Following an attempt by burglars to
enter the place, he purchased two
powerful Great Danes as guards.
The dogs proved so ferocious that
they were confined in an iron in
closure during the daytime for the
sa fety of the family. NJ. Sempis
was advised to starve them, SO,
when food was given to them, they
would remember kindly their bene-
factors. So they had nothing to
eat for two days.
Nine. Sempis did not accompany
her husband and their guests, who
started for drive. She noticed
the dogs while she was walking in
the yard, knowing that they had
been without food, and determined
to feed them, as they were appar-
emily quiet. The instant Nine.
Sempis entered the iron inclosure,
the Great Danes leaped upon her
like hungry tigers. They bore her
to the ground and as she vainly
sought to defend herself, their teeth
sank in her arms and body. Her
struggles apparently maddened the
ANIMALS the more.
The coachman heard the screams
of Nine. Sempis. She begged the
man to save her. He ran to the
stable for a pitchfork. When he re-
turned the Great Danes had fear
fully torn their victim. The coach
man fought the brutes into corner
and kept them there until the cook
summoned neighbors and carried
Nine. sempis from the inclosure in
a dying condition.
A few minutes after M. Sempis
and his guests returned she sue
cumbed to her injuries after ex-
changing a few words with her hus-
band, who is nearly crazed by the
terrible accident.

GENERAL DENIAL
Made by Defence in Case OF Mutual Fire

Montpelier, April 1.-The plaintiff in the
case OF the Union Mutual Fire Insurance
vs.. A. r. Dugar, rested this fcre-
noon and since that time the defense has
been putting in evidence. The case has
been all the way through an interesting
one to observe and there have been moro
onlookcrS in the court room than is usual
during civil cases. The plaintiff claims
that Dugar hired Warren Hayford to burn
the buildings on the DuSar place in Wood
bury IN order that Dugar might get the in
suranCc. HaYford testihes that he did
burn them and was paid before hand for
so doing besides being treated to liquor
and being given a bottle of alcohol to take
with him. There was several witnesses 10
corrobordte Hayford as to certain parts OF
his story
rhc defense denies all connection or
knowledge hy Dugar of the fire until after
wards and claims that there was ill-fecing
be tween the tenants of the place and Hay
ford and that Haylord had made threats
against him. The tenant moved out the
day before the fire. 1t is likely that the
case viii take at least one day more be-
fore its conclusion.
