And in Woodstock, Too.

Take your thoughts off Mount
Pelee tor moment and consider,
what happened in Brattleboro. The
slumbering volcano Of party irregu-
larity blew its head off Saturday
night and the we'll built up struc-
lures Of republican peace and order
were buried under the dust that
came from the eruption. 1t is
mild way of saying that the repub-
lican caucus elected delegates to the
state convention favorable to Per.
cival w. Clement, the man who, in
dress suit with vaudeville acco npa-
niment, has assaulted the prohibi-
ton law and the republican machine
in the interest of local option, offer

saulted. There was lot OF men
standing around. He WAS arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Peck, who took
his gun and led him, weak and
trembling, up to Deputy Sheriff
Spafford's Office, Wilson crying
"Oh, my God!" when told few
minutes later that he had probably
killed a man.
AT his own request he was brought
to Woodstock jail that night.
Some rebuttal evidence was to til.
effect that Wilson displayed his re-
volver on Monday preceding the
tragedy, saying, ~ am not afraid

ent denied these statements.
The defense rested at sac Tues
day and the case was argued Wed

Bribery at the Caucuses.

Persistent reports of the use of
money and rum at recent republican
caucuses are being strongly verified
by affidavit. Mccullough and Proc
tor managers are both implicated,
according to the atfidavjts from a
dozen towns already printed by the
Rutland Herald, and the ballot in
dustry is still thriving. There were
some fluctuations in the ballot mar.
ket Tuesday, according to the Her
AIDS report
"But upon the whole prices were
steady. A bear movement failed
and the bulls carried the price for
voters up to $40 for genuine arti-
cles."
The quotations include affidavits
from Shoreham, Bristol, Middle
bury, North Hero, New Haven and
other towns, the disclosures showing
the purchase of votes for. McCul-
Tough and, in the town of st. AL
bans, the free distribution Of whis-
key by Proctor interests. One man
counted over forty men who were
intoxicated when they voted. And
so the exchange of votes for money
and liquor went on. Though the law
does not make a crime Of the use OF
money at caucuses, it does prescribe
apenalty for furnishing liquor at any
and all times, and the charges noted
are open to further investigation and
complaint. They can hardly be ig-
nored by the officers sworn to en-
force the law. There is plenty OF
damaging evidence and decency
demands that the matter be moi
dropped because of the standing
of the accused men.

Woman Soldier of Revolution.

The memory of Deborah Sampson
Gannett, the woman soldier of the
revolutionary war who fought under
the name Of Robert Shurtleff. was hon
ored lately at a banquet at Sharon
Mass, where she lived more than 4o
years. Her body lies in Rockbridge
cemetery in that town. where the
grave is frequently pointed out to
visitors. The banqueting hall was
decorated with the national colors.
and intermingled in large letters were
the historic names: Deborah Samp-
son. Mary Lyon. Anne Hutchingson
and Hannah Dustin. In a conspicuous.
place was a placard on which were the
words: Il Was There" This referred
to Deborah SIMPSONS oft-repeated
saying in her lectures on the battles in
which she had participated while
dressed as a man. One Of the speakers
during the evening suggested that
these words be placed upon Sharon's
town seal.

evidences of their sorrow. Above the
din created by the mourners a voice
could occasionally be heard recount
ing the virtues of the deceased.
For three hours this ceremony went
on. Then some friend of the dead In
dian conceived the idea of double
funeral as more fitting evidence of
grief. The mourners at once proceed
ed TO exhume the body of little child
Of the deceased that had been buried
the week previous. After the body had
been taken from the grave il was
given TO a big Squaw, who elapsed the
| little one TO her bosom, mounted
pony. and rode back and forth through
the crowd shouting the virtues of both
father and child in fantastic fashion.
In the meantime a grave had been
| dug. 1t was twice as large as was
necessary 10 contain the body, but an
other was prepared for the child at
right angles with that of the father,
making the whole resemble the letter
T. The bodies were then tumbled into
these rough holes in the ground, the
head Of the child resting against the
side Of the father. Both were appro-
priately painted and decorated and
then the squaws set up an awful wall
ing, which in effect eclipsed any of their
previous efforts. Next came the dOna-
tions to the dead Articles of every de-
scriPtion which might prove beneficial

upon his body until the grave was filled
to within a short distance of the sur
face. Then enough dirt was heaped on
10 fill the grave, and pole was stuck
in the ground, TO which were attached
a medicine flag and the dancing and
war headdress of the deceased. Two
Of his favorite horses were then killed
on the grave and this ended the burial
rites.

A VERBOSE SENATOR.
Colorado Nan Promises 10 Succeed

Senator Thomas Macdonald Patter-

has become noted for two character
istics during the six months that he

subjects, contrary to the old tradi-

Verbosity.
