rhe first month of the license laws ac-

and it Is Instructive and interesting to
review the results. While the first month

1t is enough to give somewhat correct

for license state that it will he several
months before the fruits of license can
be accurately judged.
This latter promise IS not so encourag e
ing as the hrst--nor is it so definite, At

U'rom the Brattlcboro Phocnix)

Vermont has always cxcrted an innu-

body wholly disproportionate to her size
ana relative Importance. For years
while Edmunds and Morrill, were the sem
ators Vermont had "A prestige second in
the United States Senate to no State Of

appear these vain attempts, prompted

Of the State and the entire country Ed
munds and Morrill, were retained in

unfairly for private considerations and
the other until death closed his labors
for his country.
These reflections arise In considering the
talk-chcap talk it seems to us-that a
contest Is contemplated against the re-
election of United States Senator Red
field Proctor. We have no expectation
that this movement will matcrializc in
ANYTHING beyond cheap talk, but it is
well to discountcnance that in advance.
Senator Proctor's loyalty to his CON
stituency has never been questioned. He
has secured for Vermont more i'm recog-
milton than would have been accorded to
any other man. and many Ncrmontcrs
are to-day holding positions of high re-
sponsbility in tho government service
largely through his instrumcntalitY. 1t

cured for Vermont the great military post

her to follow with Proctor and Dilling-

We have no doubt what the verdict of

the voters of the state to reflect care

there IS oven talk Of change.
We might draw n lesson from our

PHYSICIAN ARRESTED.
New York Doctor Issues Bogus Checks
TO Pay Gambling Debt.

DR.. G.. ii. Gray Of New York was ar
rested by the police yesterday on the
charge OF issuing bogus checks. but
friends came to his relief, raised the
amount OF money involved and the
probabilities are that Or. Gray win not

his trouble grew out OF too much indui-
gence In liquor and his penchant for
gambling. IL Is said that one check
was drawn on the National Bank of the
Republic for $7b and later another
check for $40. Another one was on Sig
Simon and another on Brown, Terry &

Gray had no funds at the bank. He
was located by deputy sheriff at the
Kenyon hotel and placed under arrest

appearance with the money, and was
then released,
IL IL claimed that the doctor fell in

his wife, and they were on trim 10

duced TO enter gambling house where
he lost practically all his money and
being pressed for cash resorted to the
issuing OF bogus checks to repenish his

A Desperate One.
(specinl 10 the oNewa.ol

Rexburg, Ida, Sept. 2S,-Willis Brown
of Rcxburg was shot and perhaps fa-
tally wounded at p. m. yesterday by
Frank Senneburg OF Parker The shoot
ing occurred at Hog Hollow about 20
miles east Of Rexburg and was occa-
stoned from the fact that bad blood
has existed between the two for some
time past. Last summer Brown had
Senneburg arrested and placed under
bonds for kidnapping his son. When
they met yesterday heated colloquy
ensued between them, during which
Senneburg drew a knife Brown Inn
mediatey picked up a pair OF hobbies
and Knocked him down, after which
Senneburg Jumped 70 his feet and went
after his rife, which was thrown over
the horn OF his saddle few rods away.
Seeing what he was about to do Brown
beat h0sty retreat and he was about
rs yards distant when Senneburg took
aim and fired. The shot missed its
mark, when Senneburg dropped down
on one knee, took deliberate aim and
fired again. Brown by this time was
about 100 yards distant and Just as the
second shot was fired he turned partly
round and the bullet entered his body,
penetrating the right groin and passing
through downward. making It's exit on
the point OF the hip.
The shooting was witnessed by d. w.
Davis who was present during the fra
cas-. Brown was brought to Rexburg
by Davis, arriving here at II o'clock
last night. DR.. Ormsby dressed the
wound and remained with the Injured
man till 3 a. m, at which time evil
dences Of blood poisoning had set in.
While the wound IL not necessarily ia
tai the doctor fears IL may prove so.
