Mrs Chas Dunn was buried in the
city cemetery last Sunday. Many
years ago the deceased was a resident
of Woodford and the family one OF
the best in the place. Mrs Dunn was
always an exemplary woman. kind
hearted and good. II was 30 years
ago that the husband and three sons,
Charles, George and William, enlist
ed for the war and all but Charles,
who came home in 1865 TO die, lost
their lives in the never-to- to-be.forgotten
Kilpatrick's raid. Chas and Frank
Bowles and Frank Hollister we're also
in this raid.
A big fat doe which had browsed
and 'fondled" around one OF the Dun
vile lumber camps all the winter, is
seen there no more. Last Friday
there we're three fellows hunting in
Dunville and had dinner at James
Higgins. At nightfall the report OF
rifles was heard near the camp. The
next day workmen allege that they saw
where an animal had been dragged
away to where there were thick brush
and the snow crimsoned with blood.
This being so, it is evident that the
law breakers shot the deer, hauled It
to the secluded spot and cut its throat.
In the evening about O'Clock, three
men we're seen in the moonlight to
come out "across lots" to the City.
Later in the night 1t is said that the
doc was brought out and a team car
ried il "over east" The name of each
of the three men Is known, and GER

BOARD OF
LICENSE
The SeIectmen Have Named the
Three Commissioners.
SELECTIONS APPROVED
Board Is Composed of R. S. DrysdaIe, John S
Holden and Dr. II. c. Day-havs Not
Yet Organized.

The selectmen met Monday evening
and appointed as license commissions
ers, John S. Holden, for the term Of
two years, DR. H. c. Day for four
years, and Robert S. Drysdale for
six years.
An odd thing in connection with the
matter was the fact that none of the
three gentlemen named were in town
at the time. Mr. Holden was in Flori-
da, Mr. Drysdale in New York and DR.
Day in Greenfield, Mass.
The appointments give the greatest
OF satisfaction to the people Of the
town and only words of approval are
heard. The members of the board are
not yet home and no meeting of the
commission has been held.
It is rumored that Mr. Drysdale will
refuse to accept but the public unani-
mously hopes that the rumor is not
correct.
The new board of selectmen met
Saturday evening and organized by
electing J. T. Remington chairman
and clerk. a few bills were approved
and the board adjourned until Mon
day evening. The regular meetings of
the board will be held Tuesdays.
The new board of selectmen held its
first business meeting Tuesday after
noon and audited and paid bills
amounting to about 1900. They re-
appointed the sections for the several

HOUSEKEEPER CASE.
Suit of HOllis.R. Wood Of PownaI Now Before
Supreme Court

Supreme Court
Pownal people are interested in the
outcome of a suit now before the Mass
achusetts Supreme court. It is brought
by Hollis r. Wood to recover $500,
which he claims he gave Mrs Ada
Burbridge of North Adams to become
his housekeeper. Mr. Wood, who is
about SO years of age, is a wealthy
farmer residing in Pownal, just over
the Bennington line, and transacts
most of his business here.
Mrs Wood has been dead a number
of years so that it has been necessary
for him to hire housekeeper. He en-
gagged Mrs Burbridge and claimed
that he paid her the $500 in advance.
She did not remain long, and for that
reason he claims that she should re-
turn the money.
Mrs Burbridge admits that he gave
her the money but denies that any
agreement about it was made. She al
so claims that Mr. Wood grossly in
suited her, and that was the reason
why she left his house.
In the lower court Mr. Wood secured
judgment against Mrs Burbridge,
who took an appeal.
