A Joint assembly was held this al
ternoon for the election of supreme

and Spencer of Windham, and Repre-
sentatiyes Gale of Guilford and Ryder
of Bristol. William II. Gilmore was re-
elected auartermaster general, ana

for Sibley. and Mr.. Brooks election

minutes long, was held to canvass the

The important bill of the day was
that introduced in the House by Mr..

a high license-local option measure,
with strong restrictive features. It's
distinguishing characteristic is that
the money received for licenses is all
turned into the state treasury instead
of the treasures of the several towns
and cities where the licenses are is
sued. One-fourth of the license money
;a% Ao tofo nd
the other three-fourths into the state
highway fund. 1t is manifestly bill
in favor of the small towns. to compel
the large towns to divide with the
small ones the liquor license money.
just as the highway money and school
tax money is now divided in favor of
the small towns.

sary repairs on the Windham county

dun was read and referred to the
Joint committee on temperance.
The House passed the bill limiting
the speed of motor carriages on coun-
try highways to 12 miles an hour,
and to six miles an hour within city
or fire districts limits. The bill
reducing the rate of interest from 6
per cent to was uneeremoniously
killed in the House.

resolution offered by DIR. Conland of

sentative hall to the Vermont Histori-
cal society on Thursday evening, Oct

Returned Wednesday,.

Anton Schuster the fellow who filled
on the evening of July 20, and who has
been on trial for manslaughter in the
second degree, was acquitted by the
jury Tuesday and returned Wednesday
at noon.
1t will be remembered that on the
evening of July 20, after a gala day
back of No. shaft house at the Chan
dler, a free-for-al scrap took place be-
tween several men over board bill.
When words were flying thick and fast
some one of the party fired a revolver
into the air to brighten the beligerents,
without effect. Schuster then came to
the front with a shot gun as peace
maker and fired the same several times.
When the smoke had cleared away
Keaneack was found dead with his
breast full of fine shot several of which
had penetrated the heart. 112 shot were
found in the dead body. On the stand
Schuster said that he did not under
stand firearms, and he simply fired the
gun as a warning that hostilities must
cease. He thought that the weapon
contained blank cartridges. He was ar
rested that evening but did not know
what he was locked up for until the
next day.
When the jury returned to its seats
after celebrating about an hour
Schuster sat awaiting the verdict eX-
pectantly. When it was rendered he did
not know whether he was at liberty
or whether he was to spend the rest
of his days behind prison bars, because
he does not understand the English Ian
guage. The jury was discharged, and
still Schuster sat. He might have been
sitting there yet had not one of the
court deputies who can speak Ger
man told him to go home" Schuster
is an Austrian, but he understood, and
| it gradually dawned upon him that he
was at liberty. 1t was then that he ex-
planned as well as he could that he had
no money, and the members of the jury
donated enough to bring him safely
back to Ely and his comrades.

Matt Novak and Frank Peca, two
bright fellows from here who had not
the proper respect for the courts of this
country, came to grief in Duluth We'd
nesday. They were supoenaed to APP
pear as witnesses in the Schuster trial
but failed to appear and Deputy Sheriff
Magic came UP after them with a,
bench warrant. They were brought be-
fore Judge Cant Wednesday charged
with contempt of court They explained
with the assistance of Rev. FIR. Kos
merl, who acted as interpreter, that
they had missed the train, but the
court did not deem that a sufficient ex-
cuse, and sentenced each to pay a fine
of $25 or spend thirty days in the coun-
ty Jail. They did not have the where
withal to pay the fines, and were given
into the custody of the sheriff.
In response to questions put to them
by County Attorney McClintock and
the court, they stated that they had
been served with the supoenas, and I'M
derstood the nature of the documents.
On the morning of Sept. % they start
ed for the depot to take the train to
Duluth but they were about minute
too late, and the train had just pulled
out. AS long as they could not be in
court at the time stated in the sub
poenaes, they did not think they would
be wanted at all, and as consequence,
made no further attempt to reach Du-
luth.
County Attorney McClintock stated
that Noyak was one of the most inn
portant of all the witnesses he sub
poenaed, and he thought that if the
two men had testified at the trial OF
Schuster the verdict of the jury might
have been different.
Judge Cant gave the two men to un-
derstand that the court is not to be
trifled with, and, after a sound lee
ture, he imposed the sentences.

Asks For Recount.

Sheriff William C. Sargent has de-
cided to contest the nomination Of w.
w. Butchart for the office of sheriff.
This has been definitely announced by
Porter J. Neff, Sargent's attorney, says
the News Tribune. Mr.. Neff said:
Eyes, we will ask for recount. Mr..
Sargent desires me to say that he has
no charges Of fraud or bad faith TO
make. At first he was adverse to carry
ing the matter further, but in justice TO
his supporters he finally concluded that
a recount ought to be made.
mo attempt will be made to throw
out any ballots con technicalities. His
object is to have them counted more
carefully than was possible at the er-
ection canvass, and see who really has
received plurality. If that man should
prove to be w. w. Butchart Mr.. Sar-
gent will support him TO the very best
of his ability"

The many friends of Senator and
Mrs. F. B. Daugherty in this city were
panied to hear that Mrs. Daugherty
had passed away very suddenly Monday
morning at their residence in Duluth,
aged 4S years.
Mrs. Daugherty had been an invalid
for the past twelve or fifteen years.
She spent considerable of her time away
from Duluth in search of health, and
her husband was constantly at her side.
Changes of climate and medical skill
prolonged the life of the sufferer, but.
they could not cure.
