RUTLAND is SHOCKED
At Removal Of Marshal Field-Cannot
Understand Reason.

Rutland, VT, Oct. 15.-The news of
the removal from office of Marshal
Fred A. Field by Pres. Roosevelt came
as a shock to the residents of this city,
where Field is ranked as one of the
leading and one of the most respected
of citizens. He was appointed mar
shall for the district of Vermont which
takes in the entire state, by Pres. Nc
Kinley, five years ago, and reappointed
a year ago by Pres. Roosevelt.
In consequence of the steady increase
in the influx of Cinnamon in the state,
chiefly by being struggled over the
Canadian border Fields duties of late
have been largely confined to their
prosecution. Large numbers of Chi
nese, having no admission papers, steal
through the woods from Canada to
Richford, Newport and other places. If
caught such Cinnamon are arraigned
in the United States district court and
if found guilty they are occasionally
escorted to Boston or Providence and
deported.

MARSHAL REMOVED.

Dere|iction Of Duty in Per-
hitting Cinnamon to Escape.
Three Skipped Him at Providence
Rutland Is Shocked.

Washington, Oct. 15.-The President
upon the recommendation of the attor-
ney general has removed Marshal Fred
A. Field of the district of Vermont for
dereliction of duty in permitting the
escape at Providence, r. l., of three
Cinnamon entrusted to him for de-
portation.
Inc prisoners who escaped with IL
others We're under sentence of deporta-
ton and were conducted to Providence,
r. l., on the evening of June 20 and
placed on board a steamer at that point
some time prior to 5 o'clock. At $50
the marshal left the boat and returned
to Boston, leaving the prisoners in
charge of his son, who was acting as
his deputy to accompany the prisoners
to San Francisco.
Before leaving the vessel the mar
shall informed his son that two men
upon the boat, whom he claims had
been pointed out to him as proper per-
sons but whom he had never seen be-
fore, might assist him if necessary and
that he might leave the prisoners in
their charge while he went to supper.
The deputy did so and upon his return
from supper found that the two men
and the three prisoners had escaped.
The marshal claimed that these two
men had been pointed out by the agent
of the railway company with whom the
marshal had arranged for their trans
portation. The agent positively denies
this statement and without passing
upon the question of veracity raised by
this denial the attorney general was of
the opinion that upon the marshars
own story he was guilty of such culpa-
BILE negligence as to call for his imme-
date removal in the interest of the
service.

Crop Bulletin.
For WEEK ENDING JULY 81. 1903

L.. T..
In the larger part of the state ideal
weather conditions prevailed for har-
vesting hay and grain and fine progress
has been made during the week. The
greater part OF very heavy hay crop of
fine quality has been secured and most
OF it without damage by rainfall. In the
Southern districts the harvest is practi-
cally completed, and threshing is in pro-
gross. In the northern districts the
work is well advanced, with varying
reports as to the bulk and quality of
the small grain crops. The corn crop
made substantial gains in all districts,
though in many localities in the south
ern and eastern counties copious
showers would be beneficial, as the
more advanced portion has reached the
caring stage.
On the afternoon of the Goth a series
OF very heavy hailstorms swept across
the state on direct line from Lyon and
Osceola to Taylor and Ringgold counties,
causing Great destruction to crops in
their pathway, which in some portions
was six miles in width. This visitation
was the chief drawback in one of the
best weeks of the season. While the
loss falls heavily upon two or three
thousand farms, yet the aggregate of
total destruction involves a small per-
centage of the state.
