A LIBEL ON VERMONT.
(From the Barre Times.)

c. w. Peck of Brandon has contributed
a well deserved rebuke. in n letter to the
Brandon Union, for Julian Ralph's "cow-
ardly' article on Vermont people. which
appears in the current number of Harper S
Monthly. Dr. Peck wakes wroth under
wise after reading the article in ques-
ton. 1t is somewhat disagreeable to be
told that although your scenery is grand,
your cranks are bigger cranks" and that
your loafers loaf harder" than similar
people in other States. and with various
other uncomplmentary attributes Such
an article as Ralph has contributed to
|WIarpers may make good reading from a
literary and artistic point of view, but it
swings wide of the truth.

The Statute.

III
Ralph Gohlke, Hot Springs saloon
man was convicted before Justice oil
ne Peace Dionicio Otero this morning
OF doing business on Sunday in viola.
ton of the statute and sentenced to
pay a fine Of SIS and 500 costs.
District Attorney Stephen b. Davis
appeared for the territory: Capt. L. G.
Fort for the defense. The territory
put on several witnesses to prove that
lisuor had been sold at Gohlke's place
last Sunday.
The defense practically admitted
the allegation. At least no denial
was made and the defense rested sole.
~ on the claim that the justice Of
the peace had no jurisdiction In the
case. The defendant appealed to the
district court.
Under the law every additional
Sunday upon which liquor Is sold
constitutes a separate offense. The
district attorney intends to bring a
complaint for every violation and pile
up considerable wrath for the day Of
Judgment II the breaking Of the law
Is persisted In.
