HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The seniors assisted at town meet
ing Tuesday. 1t is the general opinion
of the class that If Mr.. Eames does as
well as road commissioner as he has
as janitor all will be well.
The sophomores have arranged a
game of basket ball with Brattleboro
Academy, to take place tomorrow
night between the halves of the game
between Leland & Gray and Guilford
Street.
The sophomore basket ball team
was defeated SO to Saturday evening
at West Brattleboro by the strong
Guilford Street team. The team had
not met for practice since the first
game, consequently they were unable
to gauge their shots. However, the
boys were in the game all the time.
but they were no match for their
heavier and stronger opponents
Crosier shot the only basket for the
sophomores and played a good defen-
sive game. Stafford and r. Coane led
in the scoring and, with Briggs, gave
a good exhibition of combination shoot
ing, keeping the ball in their own ter
ritory most of the time and shooting
basket after basket with remarkable
accuracy.

RICHARDSON MARKET SOLD.
c. o. Abbott of White River Junction
is the New roprietor-Busines
Wac Established 40 Years Ago

Was Established 40 Years Ago
The Richardson meat market on
Elliot street soon will pass into new
hands. having been sold the past week
to G. o. Abbott of White River juno
ton. Mr. Abbott made an effort to
buy the market several months ago,
but terms were not agreed upon. He
came to Brattleboro again Feb. 20 and
the sale practically was made at that
time but was not formally closed I'M
til this week He will take posses
sion a week from next Monday. The
market has been owned by Lucius II.
Richardson and Fred A. Richardson
since the death of their brother, r.. Is.
Richardson whose interest they
bought of his estate. The business
was established AZ years ago by the
late william f. Richardson. and ever
since then his son. l.. H. Richardson,
has been associated with it.
w. F. Richardson probably was the
best known market man and cattle
buyer in southern Vermont and in the
nearby towns in New Hampshire and
Massachusetts,, the Richardson name
for a large part of those AZ years has
been familiar to almost every house
hold in that territory. The late
proprietors of the business state that
they have made no definite business
plans for the future except that they
will carry on their farm, of which
there are $50 acres in the south part
of the town and 400 acres in West
Brattleboro. besides smaller parcels
elsewhere.
l.. II. Richardson says his reason for
selling is that he has been in the bust
ness long enough, and that he wants to
have little time to himself in which
he can enjoy the pleasures of life. He
has not had vacation in more than
30 years. but has devoted his entire
time to his business, from early morn
ing until late at night. He does not
intend to engage actively in business
| again. otherwise he would not have
sold out
Mr.. Abbott has not bought the real
estate, but has leased the market and
, bought the three meat carts. two order
wagons and six horses. He will bring
other horses with him. He has had a
meat market in Lebanon. n. H. II
! years and owns a wholesale meat bust
ness in White River Junction. His
! son-in-law owns market in Spring
| field, this state which will be sold, his
| son-in-law coming to Brattleboro to as
| sist in running the local market. Mr..
| Richardson commends the new pro-
! prietors to the Brattleboro public and
states that the two families are such
| as the town will be pleased to claim
as residents.
In welcoming the new corners Brat
| tleboro regrets that the time has come
when the Richardson's see fit to dis
| pose of the business and unites in

of their long service, their business
capacity and their fair and honest
! business methods.

A New Librarian,

A meeting of the trustees of the
Brattleboro Free library was held
Wednesday evening to take up the
question of appointing a new librarian.
A conference had been held with Mr..
Bradley previous to the meeting to
learn his wishes in the matter. II was
recognized by the trustees that Mr..
Bradley's increasing years and his lin
tied strength made it his due that he
should be relieved in large measure
or the responsibility for the daily rou-
tine of work. and that he should en-
JOY the freedom which he has richly
earned. At the same time, it was
felt that the library ought to retain the
benefit of his long experience, his
wide reading, and his intimate ac-
quaintance with books. 1t was there
fore suggested and unanimously de.
cided, that Mr.. Bradley be made libra
rian emeritus. This arrangement, it
was stated, was not only satisfactory.
but highly pleasing to Mr. Bradley,
who had said, when consulted, that
he should consider it an honor to con-
tinue his connection with the library
in this way. 1t is an arrangement
which will commend itself to all users
or the library who realize how faith
full and devoted have been the valuable
services given to the library by Mr..
Bradley through long term of years.
The trustees then elected Miss Lucy
Wade Perry to be librarian. Miss
Perry had been recommended to the
trustees as woman of unusual quail
fications for this position. She is a ma
tive of Salem, Mass. Her father was
Hon. Jairus Perry, distinguished law
yer of that city, and the author of
standard law book, Perry on Trusts"
After receiving her academic educa-
ton at the High school in Salem and
at Smith College. Miss Perry fitted
herself for her special work at the
Pratt Institute Library School in
Brooklyn, N. Y. She has recently
catalogued the excellent public library
at Fairhaven, Mass. Miss Perry's
training has been in the direction of
the modern idea of making the public
library positive means of education,
and an important feature of her work
in Brattleboro will undoubtedly be in
the way Of introducing the boys and
girls and other young folk to the best
books and of helping them to make the
best use of them.

FORMER BOY DESPERATE.
Frank King, Arrested for Burglary in
Kankakee, IT,, Bears Strong Resem-
bIance to Jimmie I<inq."

bIance to Jimmie King"
The Utica Globe contained a long
article recently, from Kankakee, ILL.,,
describing the exploits of Frank
King, a burglar who has confessed
that he robbed several stores in
that city. He attempted to enter one
store when he had been drinking heav-
lily. but on going up from the cellar
which he had entered he struck the
wrong door and stumbled into a ktch-'
en-. The man of the house, one Vath,
seized him by the collar. BY appear
ing more intoxicated than he was King
gave the impression that he thought
he was in the cellar of the saloon next
door and had come up through the
floor by mistake. Vath released him,
but the next day King was arrested,
and some things he had stolen were
found on him. He had spent all the
money he had obtained by burglaries.
King has made a confession in a very
witty vein, claiming that he worked
steadily in a newspaper office, and
that he robbed stores at night so that
he could buy presents for his best
girl" Kings picture in the Utica
Globe has a strong resemblance to
Jimmie" King, the boy desperate,
who committed several crimes in
Brattleboro and vicinity about ten
years ago. Jimmie King hid in the
woods several weeks in the west part
of this town and in Guilford, and it is
believed that he had an accompice
who furnished him with food King
was afterward heard from in Massa-
chusetts towns near Northampton,
where he burglarized houses and es-
capped. although officers were hot on
his trail repeatedly.

MILITARY WHIST LAST NIGHT
An lnspiritng Scene and a Delight
full Social Occasion at Festival Hall
Last Evening.

Military whist, heralded as a de-
lightful social function and a pretty
spectacle, more than maintained its
reputation as brought out in Festival
hall last evening under the auspices
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution. Each whist table was
designated as a fort. marked by flag
which hung over it, bearing its name
The flag and insignia thus required
and the arrangement of the forts in
rows or sections in order to systema-
tie the movements of the players give
the military aspect to the game In
addition to the 40 flags suspended over
the tables, the hall was handsomely
decorated with flags and bunting.

ing formed above the platform at the
east end of the hall, while flags on

The playing began and the players
moved from one table to another at
the sound of the bugle, and the points
were shown by miniature flags dis
played above and at the sides of the
tables. Bert Wood, the bugler for
Company I, sounded the calls. The
playing began about $50, and con-
