Mrs. Harriet 4. (Field) Parker died
Thursday evening, Feb. 9Th, having been
gradually failing In health for several
years. She was born in Bakersfield, VT,
August 10, 1928, so 1t will be seen she had
reached the good old age of seventy five
years. She was the daughter OF Ebenezer
and Ada Field. She married Samuel Ware
. Parker Jan. 2, 1s4S, and they took up their
residence in Newport in 1919. She was a
member of the Congregational church and
woman's Relief Corps. In her younger
days Mrs. Parker was q very active Chris
tian, not only in her own church but was
liberal minded enough to lend her aid to
the good work In all denominations and
helped organize the first choir and Sunday
school Of the Congregational church; she
had a beautiful alto voice and was great
lover OF music. The family has been
4 prominent In musical circles, her husband
being natural musician and having man
uiactured pipe organ in his later years;
and their daughter, Mrs. q. ii. Newland,
being a solo singer OF note. Mrs. Parker
was a great beneiactor and very helpful TO
the poor, but as her health failed fourteen
years ago she has had TO gradually resign
such duties TO other faithful hands. For
several years her mind has been clouded at
times and OF late her reason has been COM
pletely gone; and It is now well-notwith-
standing the sorrow OF parting with this
faithful wife, lovable mother, good friend
and neighbor-that she has gone to her
rest and reward. A husband and two chill
dren survive; Mrs. L. II. Boden OF Duarte,
California and Mrs. @. II. Newland of this
village; her two sons that have died are
George o. and Homer Il. Parker. The fu-
neral was held at the house Saturday
afternoon under the auspices OF the Wo-
mans Relief Corps, Rev. A. f. McGregor
officiating. The floral tributes were pro-
fuse The burial was at West Derby.
Here's an example OF the enforcement of
the prohibitory law which some people
claim Is not being enforced. VIM. Logan,
the notorious liquor dealer, who has run
den under the Memphremsgog House, is
now reclining behind bars of the right
character, and this is how he got there.
Eugene Dawes, formerly employed as 6ngi-
neer on the b. q NJ. Il. r., came in contact
With Bill Logan last Monday evening, who
n a short time got him drunk and later
yambled all the money In his possession
way from him. When Dawes got home
hat night he made clean breast of his
roubles to his wife, who took the matter
n hand, entered complaint against Logan
or illegal selling. The latter, before his
rrest, bribed Dawes, by returning to
i'm the forty dollars he had gambled
way, to not testify against him. Dawes
ccepted and testified at the hearing @
Feek ago Saturday that Logan did not sell
i'm the liquor. The case had to be dis
harged then, but they were both re-
rrested, however on the charge of con-
Rmpt OF court. The experience in the
Apture of Bill Logan was rather peculiar
Deputy Sheriff. Ed. Miles went to Logan''
eadquarters at the Memphremagog Hous,
onday and made the arrest, notwith-
anding that Bill endeavored to bride hin
om doing 1t. Miles acceded to hi
quest to go to the Newport House anC
rocure a drink Of coffee, and accompanied
m there; Logan entered a room pre-
nding to get his cup OF coffee, but slyec
1t the back door, took possession Of
am and drove of towards the Lire. Mr.
lies was not long in ignorance OF TIT
cape, and was soon in pursuit, accom-
MED by his brother Frank. Logan wa
aced to the Canadian border where b.
rs found imbibing freely. He was agaiI

airing was held before Justice II. B
