Burnham, inspector of small arms prac-
tice. The exact method of selecting
the team will be announced later. Com

They will also forward to Capt. Burn
ham list of the six best shots in their
company, showing the highest score
made by each and the average made by
each up to Aug. l, 1903.
The distances to be shot in the ma
tional rifle competition are 200, 800,
600, 800, 900 and 1, 200 yards: ten shots
to each competitor at each range: po-
sitions-standing at 200 yards: prone
at all other ranges.
The orders further say that men Sc

Another incident related by the gov

that Ex-Gov. Holbrook and Ex-Gov.

OBITUARY.
William A. Riley.

William Riley, aged 80, was run over
in Rutland at the railway station yard
last week Thursday afternoon about 3
o'clock and was instantly killed. Mr..
Riley left Ludlow to attend the circus
at Rutland. He was on the track near
the coaling station when a shifting
train backed car up the side track
and ran over Mr.. Riley, cutting his
body very badly. Mr.. Riley was we'll
known in Brattleboro, where at one
time he worked at the plumbing trade.
Mr. Riley barely escaped death in
an accident at Bellows Falls several
years ago when he was run over by the
cars and one of his legs cut off.
William A. Riley was born in North
Adams, Mass, Nov. /, 1864. He moved
from there. with his parents, Mr. and
Mrs, Thomas Riley, two years after.
In 1885, Mr.. Riley was married in
Chester to Miss Nettie Bingham, who
now lives in Springfield, Mass. His
father died several years ago. but his
mother, Mrs. Susan Riley, lived in
Rutland with Mr. Riley's only chill
dren, Misses Jennie and Susan Riley.
The funeral was held at his mothers
house Saturday afternoon.

EDITOR FRENCHs COTTAGE,
Pretty Little Structure, Built on Ames' Hill
and Full Of Home Comforts.

Editor French Of the Phoenix is in
occupancy of his fine new cottage on
Ames hill. He moved in Saturday.
The cottage is very comfortable
structure of Dutch design, built of
wood, with all the Accomplishments of
broad piazzas, open tireplaces and the
modest luxury that means so much.
Every needed appointment has been
provided, though there is no attempt
to depart from simple design
with modest details. A neatly con-
structed stone cistern affords a liberal
supply Of pure spring water The site
is one Of the most inviting to be found
in southern Vermont, a small forest Of
old growth maple, birch and beech
protecting a natural turfed terrace at
at the foot of which flows a mountain
trout brook. Through the trees view
Of rugged old Monadnock and its sur
rounding sentinels can be had, togeth-
err with an expanse of hill and valley
in and about Brattleboro, the effect of
which is we'll night ideal.
Mr.. French and his partner in the
printing establishment, <. l.. Hill
dreth, who has himself just completed
a cosy cottage nearby, recently bought
the old Stockwell farm on the hill, one
of the most desirable in the west part
of the town. Mr.. French's cottage was
designed by n. A. Plummer OF Brat
tleboro, the builders being Brattleboro
residents,

pecially in clean fielding, and they de-
feated their opponents 6 to | without
much trouble, because they were aid
ed in almost every inning by costly
errors Of the Union men.
Both Stafford and Cox pitched good
ball. Stafford struck out eight men
and but five hits were made off his de-
livery. Riley and Williamson did good
work in the outfield, and Riley's get
ting fly as he fell when running was
a feature. March contributed a one
hand catch, and Buffers catch of a
foul fly near the fence were also feat
ures. Fisher played well at short and
W. Brooks and Butler put up their u.s.
ual good game behind the bat.
The Brooks brothers got five Of the
association hits, W. Brooks getting
three and B. Brooks two. The score;
