OBITUARY..
MRS. JANE c. STOW

MkS. JANE Z. STOW =.
The passing on ont of this life on March IL
OF Mrs. l.. w. Stow is worthy of more than a
passing thought. Jane c. Munger was born
Aug. 20. 1917, in the east part of Middlebury.
still known as Munger street, inheriting
much of the vigor OF both body ana mind
which was so characteristic of the first set
tiers OF Vermont. Her father died when she
was four years old, leaving 10 children. Later
her mother was married to Mr.. Ayres of Wey
bridge, where her youth was spent, and
where she commenced the Christian life,
uniting with the Methodist church and retain
ing her relation herewith until ls6S, when
she and her husband united with the COngre
gational church of New Haven. She was
married to l.. W. Stow Jan. 6, 1886, since which
time her home has been in New Haven. Mr.
Stow died In June. lss6. For GO years Mrs
Stow has resided here, knowing both JOY
and sorrow, yet whatever the circumstances
she was ever the cheerful, active, trusting,
true-hearted Christian woman. In All the re
lationships of life she was ready to give of
her best to others. Early in life she adopted
the motto that "what is worth doing ut all
is worth doing we'll" II seemed easy for her
to accomplish much in many ways. While
she was exceedingly careful in all matters
pertaining to homemaking or keeping, she
| yet found time daily for the quiet hour with
the Bible and the Master. Until within the
last few years Mrs. stow was eyer ready to
| lend n helping hand to those in need, relicv-
! ing by kindly ministries, yet finding Il way TO
be pre- sent Mt all church gatherings, being for
years president of the Ladies' Aid society
Until the last sickness she was a constant at
tendant at the sabbath service and sabbath
school, for years as II teacher ever interested
! in finding the practical side of truth. Truly
she was " faithful unto DEATH" Can we doubt
that she has received "the crown of life"
One brother survives-George w, who re-
sides in Cotton, \. Y, ana one daughter
Alice Langdon, who resides at the old home
also one grandson. "

SCIENTIFIC BOXING CONTEST.
A Merry Mill Was Pulled CT at the
Tivoli Last Evening.

The lovers OF the manly art were
entertained by a display of fistic
science at the Tivoli last night which
resulted in Henry Brooks being count
ed out as the result of a stiff blow
under the heart delivered by the re.
doutable Eddie Croak.
The main bout was preceded by a
sparring match between two amateurs
who furnished amusement for the
crowd by some quick exchanges and
fought the game to a draw. Brooks
and Croak entered the ring in the
pink of physical perfection and 1t
looked as If the bout would be drawn
out.
Some trouble was experienced in
getting a referee, but at length
Frenchy Navarino was chosen and
the gong was sounded. The first
round was a series of clinches and
the referee was carried off his feet
several times. The second and third
rounds were almost the same with
the exception of a few light exchanges
and Brooks seemed to be trying to
wear his man out. James Weaver
was called to referee in the fourth
and kept the men apart with the re
suit that the exchanges were a little
faster until in a mix-up at the ring
side Croak landed three blows, one
over the kidneys. an uppercut on the
jaw and put Brooks out with a ter
rife jab in the region Of the heart
The bout. though no blood was drawn
thoroughly demonstrated that CroaE
Is a little too fast for the ordinary
exponent of the art Of boxing.

TRACY ONCE AGAIN.
Notorious Outlaw Reappears Near
Columbia River.

Spokane, Wash, July 31.-A Wenat-
chic special to the Spokane Review
From 10 o'clock yesterday morning
until 8 at night, Harry Tracy was an
unwelcome guest at the ranch of w. A.
Sanders and S. j. McEldowney, six
miles down the Columbia river. Tracy
came out of the Cascades riding one
horse, packing another and leading a
third in reserve. He carried a Win
chester and two revolvers.
He took dinner and supper at the
ranch keeping the men well covered
while he ate. Toward evening he
forced McEldowney to bring him two
fresh horses and turn loose his jadel
animals.
He then took Sanders saddle and
ordered McEldowney to go with him
to a hand ferry ten miles down the
Colorado, but Mrs. McEldowney be-
gan to cry, so Tracy said he would
not insist or that and left alone. He
threatened that If his presence were
made known he would return and do
some killing. He headed south. He
Tailed exactly with Tracy's descrip-
tion. even to the mole on his face.
He gave a complete account OF his
experiences since escaping from Sa.
lem including the killing Of Merrill
and his narrow escape from capture
at Seattle. He said that two of the

IMPORTANT CAPTURE.
kid" Royals is Arrested by Stock
Inspector Jack Teal.

The Glasgow Review of the second
inst. has the following account of the
capture of kid" Royals, who is not
unacquainted with the interior of our
Fergus County Jail:
Stock Inspector Jack Teal made IN
important capture Thursday after
noon about thirty miles north of Pop
lar on Poplar river. He was eating
dinner at the ranch of Henry Kern
when a lone horseman rode up, hitcG-
ed his animal to the corral fence and
sat down to dinner. Teal noticed that
during the meal the man was uneasy
and shifted about in his chair mean
while glancing at the star that was
pinned on the inspectors vest. The
fellow had scarcely finished his meal
when he picked up his hat. hastily
walked out to the horse, swung in the
saddle and galloped off. At this juno
ture Teal inquired of one of the Kern
boys who the visitor was that had
just left and was informed that 1t
was kid" Royals. Teal immediate
ly remembered that there was a war
rant in the sherif's Office at Glasgow
for the arrest of a man answering u
that description and name and that
Meagher county was offering a re-
ward of $3.50 for his apprehension.
He fastened out to the corral, sad
died the horse in sight and started in
hot pursuit. The chase lay to the
northeast and after fifteen miles Of
fast riding, in which both riders al
ternately had the advantage, Royals
was captured finally while attempting
to hide in the waters of Poplar river.
When his horse gave out he rode
him into the river in about five feet
of water, dismounted and prepared
of water. dismounted and prepared
a breast works. The sight Of a rife.
however, gave him the chills and
when the inspector threw down on
him he went to grabbing for the sky
with both hands, and asked il he
should bring out his gun, an ugly
looking revolver. He was taken TO
Poplar and brought to Glasgow Fri
day morning. Royals is wanted for
horse stealing over in Meagher cou:s
ty and the authorities there have
been informed OF his capture. There
is no doubt but what he has been
operating with the gang north of Cul
bertson and he may be wanted here
after the Meagher county courts get
through with him.

Why He Changed His Mind.
