Richard Standish OF Montpelier ob-

TELEGRAM to the effect that he had
money wagered on the game Of base
ball which he umpired Monday be-
tween Goddard and NJ. S The item
did not say that he actually did have
a bet up, out that it was said that he
did. All sorts OF stories are likely to
be manufactured when there is bitter
feeling between two teams. In justice
to Mr.. Standsh it is only fair to say
that there is no ground for the state.
ment which was made by supporters
Of the Barre team.
A laughable entertainment that
would form plot for farce COM
edy took place in front Of the City
Hotel Tuesday afternoon The actors
we're Eli Drury and number OF
Gypsies. Drury said something to
one OF the women which she claims
was an insult although Drury denies
it. This remark caused two of the
men to alight from Gypsy wagon,
and in remarkable short space OF
time. Drury was rising from the
ground where he had fallen, at about
the same time that the husband Of
the Gypsy woman had alit hted from
his wagon. A younger member
OF the Gypsy Band about this time
tried to horse whip Ell Drury, but
was prevented from doing so by
special police officer "Abe" Mann,
VIII" was promptly on the scene to
quell any di turbance. Officer Mann
advised the Gypsies to drive on
which they did, leaving Drury to tell
the spectators how mnch of fighter
he was and that he could whip the
whole crowd forgetting to explain
how he had fallen to the ground
anxious for fight Drury followed
after the roaming band and In haste
special Officer Mann hurried to the
scene to prevent bloodshed. The
Gypsy whose wife claimed she was In.
suited, went il. search of Chiel OF Po-
lice Brown. He talked to Drury and
the fighting element in Eli subsidized.
This ''Street show had lasted
only 10 minutes No blood shed. A
large amount of profanity. One man
had measured his length on the ground,
and Oncer Abe Mann had showed
great nerve in preventing a serious
and possibly fatal fight between Drury
and the Gypsy.
