BACK FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
Michael ]. Sherry Returns After an Absence
Of Over Three Years Spent in China and the
United States Eastern Possessions Was a
Member of the Pekin Relief Column and Did
Police Duty in That City Eleven Months.

Michael j. Sherry returned to hi.
home in Brattleboro Monday nigh,
after an absence of three years anC
two months, the greater part of which
time he has spent in the Philippines
and China as member of company A,
Ninth infantry. Sherry is in compare
lively good health although he says he
has seen enough of the Philippines and
China, and thinks they are good coun
tries to stay away from.
Sherry has undoubtedly seen as
much service as any of the Brattleboro
boys who have been in the eastern
hemisphere. He enlisted in December
1898, only short time after he had
received his discharge from first Yer
mont volunteers, and on the 18th of
the following March left Patterson
Barracks, n. Y, where he had been
stationed, for San Francisco The
regiment landed in Manila and after a
| few days spent there went to Calocoan
Nothing of a startling nature occurred
during the regiments stay there, but
in July. 1900, it was ordered to EN-
bark for China. Sherry landed with
his regiment in Taku, China, July 10,
Tien Tsin, arriving in time to take
part in the last three days of the siege
of that city After six days in Tien
Tsin SheIry's regiment was ordered to
Pekin as a part of the relief column of
the allied forces. During the march,
which was over desolate and almost
desert country, Sherry participated in
three skirmishes, and his regiment ar
Dat, I,l,
the imprisoned ministers among whom
was United States Minister Conger.
After II months of police duty in Pekin
the regiment was ordered back to Ma
Mia, and was afterward sent to Capal
ocan on the island of Samar where
Sherry remained with it until his term
Of service expired December Is, 1901.
A short time later he was mustered
out in Manila and sailed Immediately
on the transport Fitzpatrick for San
Francisco. arriving there January IS |
of this year.
Dan O'Neil. who enlisted at the |
same time, was in Sherry's company |
during the entire Chinese campaign !
and expects to return to this country |
soon. In fact, Sherry thinks that he
is already on his way here While in
Capalocan Sherry saw Edwin Haskell,
who is now with f company, First in
fantry.
Although Sherry had no serious i'll
ness during his entire term of service
be is perfectly satisfied to live in the
United States and is inclined to dis
agree with those who speak of the eli
mate in the Philippines in terms Of
high praise. After he was mustered
out he was offered position on the
Manile police force, which has been
'e-organized recently, bat he preferred

THIRTY.sEvEN DIVORCE CASES
Appear on the Docket of the March Term of
Windham County Court-Many Of These Are
Continuances from Last Fall-60 Civil Cases
Set for Trial by Jury-A List Of the Petit
Jurors Drawn by Sheriff wilkins

The spring term of Windham county
court will convene at Newfane March
5, Judge Rowell presiding. The court
docket contains $50 civil cases, Il
criminal cases, 30 cases in chancery
and 81 divorce petitions. Over GO civil
cases have been set for trial by jury
but is expected that only small part
of this number will actually come up.
The principal criminal cause is that of
state against Fred Fl. Bushor for burn
ing the buildings on the Bowker farm
in Newfane. The unusually large num-
her of divorce cases is due to the fact
that over half of them have been
brought over from the fall term. The
petitioners, under Judge Stafford,
found it exceedingly hard Shedding, in
fact ii might be said there was no snow
at all, and it is in the hope of easier
going that the attempts are renewed.
1t remains to be seen how the peti-
tioners will fare under Judge Rowell.
Assistant Judges Worden and kel-
logg met at the county clerks Office
and designated the town from
which the petit jurors should be drawn
for the coming term. The following
names were drawn by Sheriff wilkins:

THE FINAL QUIETUs.

Owners, Proprietors and Employees Of the
Brattleboro, American and Melrose Houses
| Summoned to Appear at the Coming Term Of
| County Court to Show the Cause Why the
Hotels Should Not Be Closed as Public
Nuisances.
The proprietors and employees of the
Brattleboro, American and Melrose
houses as we'll as the owners of the
three different hotel properties have
been summoned this week to appear
before the court in chancery at the
coming session of Windham county
court in answer to petitions in chan
! d.ry, CT lut.e c,1ffottly compla i.lts,
which were filed Tuesday in the coun-
ty clerks office by States Attorney
George Weston All of the petitions
are dated December Is, 1901, and refer
to the hotels as public nuisances kept
in violation of the law. summoning the
respondents to appear at the court in
chancery and show cause why perma-
nent injunction should not be issued
to close the places.
Copies of the complaint concerning
the Brattleboro house have been sent
to T. Frank Turner, T. j. Turner, G.
L
Austin, Frank Moran, William Toomey
and Frank l.. Hunt Those to receive
summons in regard to the American
house are Luther f. ilbur, Jerome j.
Ward and George A. Boyden: and the
respondents to the Melrose house COM
plant are G. K Jones, John P. Sar-
gent and Bert Sargent
The dates of the complaints show
that they were issued before the gen
eral closing up which took place the
first of this year, and it is probable
that the Law and Order league took
this course in order to catch any sub
sequent violation of the law. OF course
nothing has been sold at the American
house which has been closed since
January s. and it is doubtful if even
the most ardent supporters of the pro-
hibtory law have occasion to suspect
the Brattleboro or Melrose houses. 1t
ought not to be difficult, therefore, for
the respondent to show cause why the
hotels should not be closed.

ISRAEL HALL BROUGHT TO NEwFANE,


gerry He Seems Perfectly Sane but Despond
ent and Hopeless Halifax Neighbors Scout
the Idea of His Insanity and Believe He
Should Answer for His Dishonest Transac-
tions.
/ Israel L. Hall of Halifax, who was
arrested recently in Shelburne Falls,
Mass, for attempting to raise money
on forged check and who was after
ward declared insane and committed
to the Northampton, Mass, insane
asylum. was delivered Saturday to
Deputy Sheriff Mcclure who brought
his prisoner TO Brattleboro. Hall will
be arraigned tomorrow in answer to a
state attorneys complaint charging
him with forgery. Meanwhile he is
languishing in Newfane Jail Halls
arrest took place December 10, 1901,
and he was given a hearing in Green
field. Drs. Walker and Stetson of that
place declared him insane and be was
committed to the Northampton asylum,
the case against him being mol pressed.
The news of his arrest for the attempt
ed passing of forged note for 81, 800
caused the Wilmington Savings banks
to investigate the validity of several of
its notes and it is stated that the bank
holds from 5000 to $1,000 of paper
forged by Hall. The belief IL Halifax
and the surrounding towns is that Hall
is no more crazy than the most sane
person in Vermont and since his arrest
several facts have come to light which
do anything but strengthen his repu-
tation for honesty. States Attorney
Weston took the case in hand several
weeks ago and after communicating
with the state inspector of insane at
Boston secured the papers necessary
for the delivery of Hall into the state
of Vermont
Sheriff Mcclure arrived here with
Hall on the afternoon train Saturday
and he was taken at once to the office of
Justice John III. Merrifield. Nothing in
the mans appearance would give the
impression that he was not in his right
mind, and he seemed perfectly sane in
all his answers to questions although
he appeared rather averse to conversa-
tion. When asked by Attorney Wes-
ton whether he wished counsel he re-
piled that would make very little diff
ference with him whether or not he
was defended, and it was only after
some persuasion that he decided on
Judge +. L. Waterman. Nothing in
the way of hearing took place Satur-
day, however, and it is probable that
hearing will also be con
tinued and instead an information filed |
at the coming term of county court.
