ATTEMPTED HoLDUp
Some Rutland People Attempt to Delay Ii.
Csnses Going into Effect.

A petition addressed to Mayor d.
W. Temple Of Rutland was circulated
among some Of the business men Fri
day, asking that special election be
called to allow the people to vote as to
whether whiskey and all kinds of in
toXicating liquors, or only beer and
other malt liquors shall be sold in
Rutland. There were about 80 names
on the petition when it was handed to
Mayor Temple about 230 O'Clock in
the afternoon The mayor stated that
be wished to consult the city attorney
as to the legality of calling such
meeting after the licenses have been
granted nefore giOing his decision.
No special time for the meeting was
specified in the petition. telegram
was sent to f. g. Fleetwood Of Nor
risCown, secretary of state, the same
afternoon, asking that all lie nses for
Rutland larties be held until this
question is settled.
A counter surprise was in store for
the signers Of the petition, boSeyer,
when inquiries we're made IS to what
would be the effect on the ten licenses
already granted, it was learned that
nine of them had been received from
the secretary of state and had already
been turned over to the grantees. As
it is claimed that the licenses cannot
be revoked except for violation of their
provisions, it is bard to see how they
could be stopped from selling liquor
then even should the city vote in favor
of beer licenses. Mayor Temple an
nounced that he would call the special
city meeting asked for, but it will
probably be at least 30 days before it
can be held.
The license commissioners Of Airing
ton, at a meeting held at the town hall
Friday, granted third-class license
to Eugene Sargood of East Arlington.
There was a petition, signed by 26
people, objecting to the granting Of
the license.
Rev FIR W. j. O'Sullivan, pastor Of
st Augustine's Catholic church Of
Montpelier took occasion one morning
last week in addressing his people to
refer to the license law nov in force
in that city. He recalled to the mem
bers of his congregation the fact that
some time ago he admonished them
that a new state Of affairs was about
to exist and advised moderation. He
said st Augustine's parish had always
stood for law and order, and be trusted
the city officers ard those that bad
charge Of the enforcement of the law
would see that it was carried out. FIR
O'Sullivan limited that un less tue law
was obeyed at the next city election it
was probable that vote against H.
cense would prevail.

only partly covered by insurance, and

sons.
1t was shortly past 4 O'Clock when
the alarm was sounded, and some lit
tletime elapsed before the arrival of
the iremen. They found a fierce fire
raging ia the rear of Durkee's grocery
store, and il spread with frightful
rapidity, eating its way into the block
and that adjoining. Only by the hard
est kind of work could the hremen con-
troll the fire. Shortly after sunrise
the flames were controlled.
Among the losers who sustained
partial or total loss are:-- Wilson'S
bakery, Durkee's grocery store, Dunn
Brothers. hardware store, Brown Il
Garrett jewellers; Adds Del Ross,
drygoods; the Neshobe club, odd
