me fact that Mr.. Frost sold to a minor

GARETTO IN COUNTY JAIL.
Officers Feared TO Keep Him in barre
Corti Reported Worse.

Montpelier, oct. Alexander Garetto,
who is charged with shooting Eli Corti
at Barre last evening. was brought TO
the county jail this cven1ng by Chief of
Police Brown of Barre. Garetto Will be
held without bail pending whether Corti
lives or dies. If the shootinn proves
fatal 1t is probable the grand jury will be
called back or special grand jury sum-
moned to investigate the case.
Chief Brown did not feel justified in
keeping his man in the lookup at Barre
as the feeling there among Cortfs friends
is strong against Garetto and an ex-
cited crowd of Italians might be influ-
cnced to take the law into their own
hands.

have been to my financial advantage to
otherwise, giving my services, such as

some other systematic plan be
followed for ten years, with a
liberal levy each year, we would
not only have broad and level

it would greatly benefit those
who have produce to haul over

Emma Scott came down from
Broken Bow last Friday and

parents. Miss Scott, who has
been attending the Business
College at Broken Bow, has fin
ished the course in shorthand
and typewriting, and has accept
ed a position with Ryerson &

Henry Zimmerman's house
now under construction, when
completed, will be one of the fin

building is 24x30 feet, one story
and half high, containing seven
rooms and large porch on the
east front. The cost complete
will be between $1,000 and $1,000.
For the first time in the history
of Ansley, the streets Thursday
of last week were converted into
raging rivers. In less than an
hour several inches of rain had
fallen. Crossings and sidewalks
in the low parts of town were
carried away and cellars filled
with water. The draw through
town was raging torrent and
two bridges were carried away.
Mrs. Mary f. Bryan returned
from Broken Bow last Sunday,
where she went Thursday of las
week to pay off the mortgage on
her farm. Twelve years ago her
husband died leaving her with
number of small children to
care for and a mortgage on the
farm for $500. Then followed
the panic of 1898, when so many
business institutions throughout
the country went down, together
with series of total crop fail
ures. Under these condition:
the earning of living for her
self and children was hare
enough, therefore it was impos
sible to even pay the interest OF
the principle of the loan. Sh,
had several offers from the holde
of the mortgage offering to re
lieve her of the burden, and many
of her friends advised her TO &C
cept, saying she could never re
deem the farm home. Mrs
Bryan said she could. So sh,
toiled on, watching and taking

besides to buy home in Broker
