Idle Conversation.

The Biuejay.

One may pet or patronize, accord
ing to ones nature but he Is indeed
well coated with self esteem who does
not feel sense OF inferiority in the
presence OF a jay. He is such a shrewd
independent and aggressive creature
that one is inevitably led to the belief
that he is more a success as bird than
most men are as men. Conspicuous by
voice and action during the autumn and
winter when other birds are quictcst
he becomes silent when other birds arc
most vocal. Ii he has love song, it is
reserved for the car OF his mate. At
this season he even controls his fond
ness for owl batting and with it his
vituperative gifts. The robin, the cat
bird and the thrasher seem eager to
betray the location OF their nests to
every passerby, but the bluejay gives no
evidence OF the site OF his habitation
by being seen in its vicinity.

A UNIQUE Pet

The wife OF the governor Of North
Borneo has a pet that few people will
envy her. The governors house IS
near a jungle, and out OF this there
strayed one morning baby rhinoceroj.
Captured as curiosity, he soon became
tame, and now refuses to return to his
wildS. Sixteen quarts of milk a day IS
what this pet requires, and on it he
thrives and grows lat. He does rot
look much like the iull grown rhin-
occros, and might be mistaken for 4
curious sort OF hog, were ii not for his
single horn. He is devoted TO his mis-
treSs and follows her about like her
dog but this is a trait that cannot be
INDUCED in very long, as 10 has lately
taken to growing and will soon be too
for a civilized establish
ment.

the chief and both started for the en-
gine house but Mr.. Docherty was first
to reach here after an absence of four
or five minutes. He found the man
and girl at the door, evidently just
about to start for the hill as the man
suggested. Mr.. Dooherty stated that
the girl was evidently so frightened
that she was completely under the
control of the man but when he en-
tered the building she Immediately
began to cry and ran up the track
toward the depot The officer placed
the man under arrest. A search re-
vealed knife and razor in his pos
session
Clark was considerably intoxicated
when lodged in Jail and the hearing
was postponed until this morning.
The prisoner, who is about forty
years old and has face that would
appear to advantage in most any Grim
inal aggregation, did not care for
counsel but attempted to defend him
clio which he supported poorly, and as
suming an attitude of affected careless
ness he cross-questioned the witnesses
and then argued his own case.
He stated that the girl accosted him
and asked for money. He replied that
he had none, but that some ore in the
city owed him money and he would
get that and let her have some. Fail
ing to find the man, he sold two paint
brushes and kept the money. He said
that he had drank some whiskey and
wanted to go to the spring below the
bridge to get a drink of water and
asked the girl to go with him. When
they reached the engine house he said
she inquired what the building was
and thinking to please her he took her
in TO show her around. He denied the
truth of the story as told by Sheriff
Docherty and the girl. The prisoner
said he was born and brought up in
Keene, N. H, but had no legal resi-
dence at present. He said he had been
in Montpelier for several summers
working at his trade as painter.
Had been here this summer but tor
the past month had been away. He
said he boarded at So Barre street

coolly and it is not expected that bail

court record already having been ar
rested last year for intoxication.

NARROW ESCAPE.

G. L. Bugbee and family of Barre
returned on Tuesday night from
several weeks stay at Highgate
Springs Mr.. Bugbee had an exciting
experience on Monday while taking
party of ten on launch ride from
Phillipsburg to Highgate. When they
were about two miles out the launch
sprung leak, filling so rapidly with
water that the pumps made no inn
preston. Mr.. Bugbee turned the
boat toward the nearest point of land,
which he managed to reach just in
time to save the boat from being
swamped. If the shore had been
three rods farther the experience
would not have been so novel.

Il FIENDISH ASSAULT.

The human brute who was arrested
on Tuesday by City Sheriff DochertY
on the charge Of attempted rape on the
person of little Emma Billadeau was
before Judge Woodward in city court
this morning and as result he was
bound over to county court in the
sum of $500. In court the man gave
his name as Edward Clark and acted
as his own counsel. Attorney B. E.
Bailey acted in place of his brother,
the States attorney and the little
Billadeau girl was the first witness
She testified that she was eleven years
where she met the pri soner who spoke
to her and asked her to go with him.
She went, he leading her by the hand
They went down State street and down
the track. She tried to get away from
him and he said he would kill her if
she did Further questioning brought
out the information that he took a
knife from his vest pocket and the
girl stated that she was afraid of that.
Continuing her story she said that
they left the railroad track and went
to the engine house. The little girl
reluctantly told of the disgusting
scene that was enacted here, scene
so revolving that description of it is
| impossible here. There was no evil
| dence to show that the crime of rape
was actually committed but up to that
point it would be impossible to i'm
agine anything more beastly and aw-
full than the story as told by the little
witness. Later she said that her com.
panion had two bottles of drink and
asked her to take somej she refused
and he then attempted to make her
drink. Then, she said, he asked her
TO go with him to the hill near the
tracks. In view of Clark's later testi-
mony it will be interesting to mention
here that the little girl testified to
pushing her assailant onto sand~heap
during the struggle.
Sheriff Docherty was the next wit
ness. He told of seeing Clark and the
girl at the @. V. station. Recognized
her as the Billadeau girl and believing
that the man was her father, against
whom he had city tax, he followed
them. He told of their crossing the
bridge to the old engine house which
they entered. Still thinking the mar
was the girls father, Mr.. Dooherty
says he remained in the bridge fol
ten or fifteen minutes and then went
to the engine house and looked
through a crack. He told of the pris.
oner drinking and offering some tc
the girl and then told story which
corroborated the testimony of the
girl, his story being even more blood
chilling than was the girls. The
sheriff then testified that he wanted
another witness and started out tC

She states that she filled the lamp,

is said that she is not sure of the ma
ture of the contents of the lamp and
this will probably never be known
