THE wINDHAM COUNTY REFoRMER FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1908

II The First Regiment band will Civ
its next concert on the Comma
4 Wednesday evening.
: Freight is heavy and the local yard
were almost choked on Monday. Sum
4 mer passenger traffic is just beginning
r to be felt.
g Teams were busy yesterday draw
ing heavy timbers down to the bridge
: to be used in its reconstruction. Their
seems to be prospect that work vii
. soon start in earnest.
Special children's day exercises
will be presented at the Baptist Bibl,
school on Sunday. In the morning Mr.
Lawson will preach sermon appro
pirate to the day The evening service
. will be at 7 80.
The annual meeting of the Catho.
} lie Union will be held this evening at
s O'Clock at the association quarters
in the Ullery building. Officers for
the ensuing year will be chosen but
few changes are expected.
During the repairs. IN progress at
Newfane Jail, prisoners committed by
the local court will be remanded to
Woodstock The local fraternity of
possibilities regard this order in the
light of direct imposition.
Trout fishermen who took advan-
tage of the heavy rain last week
and got out on the brooks report very
poor luck. Most of the streams were
flooded and running over banks, and
the fish sought shelter and safety in
the deep holes.
The invitation which the Green
field Golf club extended to Wantastiquet
Golf club of this city, for a series of
games on the Greenfield links last Sat
urday, was called off by the downpour,
but it is hoped to play the games to-
morrow afternoon.
All are glad to know that the White
Mountain express goes on Monday,
with through cars from New York to
Fabyans. The train will leave New
York city at 8 a. M, reaching Brattle-
boro at $50 p. m., instead of 800
and getting to Fabyans at about p.
m. Returning, the train leaves Fab
vans at 9 a. m, reaches Brattleboro at
40 p M, (instead of 2;22) and gets
to New York about Z p. m.
Co. l., V. N. g., will hold its reg
ular drill this evening at 80 O'Clock.
The new rifles will be in evidence. A
popularity of the new weapon is that
it shows an unmistakable, and thus
far an unexplained, shift to the right
in the bullets trajectory. Consequent
ly a sharpshooter firing at the heart of
an enemy must aim at his victims left
hip. This may be corrected later The
new rifles are greatly liked and the
boys say they are far superior to the
old ones for manual drill.
--Elwood Griggs, who last March was
an official caller upon Judge Newton,
by request of the police, was arrested |
last Friday afternoon, charged with in
toxication. Saturday Judge Newton
fined him SO and costs, which he man
aged to scrape up and pay. Charles |
Deyo, who was locked up about
month ago, on charge OF intoxication,
and paid s. and costs, was again ar
rested Saturday for similar offence
Surprised to see him so soon again
Judge Newton screwed the agony up a
notch and made it 515 and costs. After
a grand skirmish $40 bill was at last
discovered and Deyo is once more free
to wander where fancy calls. But il
he and Griggs are found drunk again
they ought to be put through the third
degree until they disclose where they
got it. Saloon keepers, take notice.
1t is really quite remarkable
which Branch No. l of the
International Sunshine society in town
has MISUNDERSTANDING public Ii
braries to public schools. Miss Shea,
at No. Oak street, who has the indis-
pensable telephone, can give further
and more accurate information regard
ing the plans of the society and what
is hoped may be accomplished At
any rate contributions of books, mag
azines, periodicals of any sort, illus
trated papers and the current litera-
ture of the day are most earnestly
sought just now, so that by the open '
ng of the fall terms of school in Sep
ember the supply may be sufficiently
arge to stock the numerous school Ii ;
,raries. Miss Shea is chairman and I
Rev. L. NJ. Keneston of the West
3rattleboro Congregational church is b
q full sympathy with the movement II
Contributors of old books, magazines +
nd the like are urgently asked TO send d
heir supplies to the above mentioned, C
nd acknowledgment will at once be p
made. a
Much to the surprise of his COM \
anions, Frank Larrow appeared in y
own last Friday afternoon, having
een released from Newfane Jail where I
or a month be had been confined, I'M
er 50, 600 bonds, charged with assault ;,
18th attempt to kill his wife, A strong 2
fort had been made to secure bonds g
ut every effort failed. The prisoner IL
'as about to be taken to Woodstock E,
risoD, owing to repairs in progress at Z
ne Newfane Jail, but at the last min y
tie Larrow's friends made grand hus- Ut
e and secured Warren Z. Doolittle to d
ct as bondsman. He consented and g
fter hearing at Newfane before AS
slant Judges Worden and Pier papers nj
ere signed and the man was released. g
Ie at once returned to this town and d.
,ok rooms at the American House. He tr
lys that his former employers, Wor- m
sster, Mass, wholesale liquor house, W
ave agreed to reinstate him and he vi
i'll return to work for them. Larrow sa
Iys that the divorce suit which his V
life instituted against him just prior fl
his arrest for assaulting her has ia
zen withdrawn by mutual consent. W
Very strange things happen in the 90 =,
'urse of busy mans life, but Su- l.; in
H. F. Brown of the To- w.
i electric light company met with an r
,cident rather out of the routine he
ore last Saturday morning. Truly, nj
