David Booth, colored, aged 65 years,
died Saturday morning as the result of
a paralytic shock Mr.. Booth was one
of the faithful old fellows whose chief
aim was to make everybody else com
Portable. He was popularity known as
Major and in his prime did good
service for all who employed him. He
spent his boyhood in Guilford but for
40 years past had lived here, liked and
respected by everybody. He was an
honest and straightforward member of
the community and his death is re-
GREETED by many outside his immediate
circle. For many years he was EN-
ployed on the farms of ID. S. Pratt and
II. r. Brown, and it is said of him
that he always did what he was asked
to do, and did it we'll

MRS. POWERS WORK.
Fine Compliment Comes From Boston for
Her Energy and Watchfulness.

Mrs. Jennie V. Powers recent visi
to Boston, where she was the guest o
Mrs. Huntington Smith. who is presi
dent of the Animal Rescue League,
has produced some results, as might
have been expected.
"Our Four-footed Friends OF
which Mrs. Smith is the editor, has
this little notice of Mrs. Powers in its
current issue:
THE visitor to Boston, Mrs Pow
ers, has many pathetic stories of old
horses starved by farmers and turned
out to die. Although woman, she is
an expert shot. In one case she went
into a swamp to find an old horse she
had been told was dying there. She
found him lying down imbedded in
the mud, with two legs broken, too
weak to extricate himself and groan-
ing pitifully. She ended the suffer
ing of this old horse with one shot.
She says many old horses sent up the
country die the most miserable deaths.
She shot five this spring that we're in
a terrible state of suffering. Mrs.
Powers has a camera, and many of the
she showed of old horses
in the country were heartrending.

GREENE ON DECK.
Saved Life Of Manchester Girl Who Tried Ia
Drown Herself

Brattleboro's excellent young bloot
comes to the front in most gratifying
fashion.
Ten days ago it was young Mr.. Kim
ball who passed with high honors thu
Naval Academy at Annapolis. To day
it is the story OF another High school
man, Harry p. Greene, who made lit.
tie fuss but acted like an old hand, in
saving the life Of girl at Manchester,
N. H., last week Thursday evening.
The Union of that city tells the story
in this way:
A girl about 10 years of age, tall and
rather good looking, an inmate Of the
state industrial school, made an un-
successful attempt to commit suicide
Thursday evening about 7 30 o'clock
by plunging into the Merrimack river
directly opposite the Cygnet boat club.
Had it not been for the prompt assis-
lance of Harry P. Greene of Brattle-
boro, who is visiting friends in this
city, and who happened to be canoeing
near the scene of the affair, the young
woman might have found a watery
grave.
Thursday evening, soon after 7
o'clock, Mr.. Greene went to the Cyg-
net boat club, and started out for an
hours enjoyment. He padded across
the river from the boathouse. AS he
neared the shore he noticed young wo-
man running along the bank, pursued
by number of women who were cry
ing for help, and stating that the wo-
man would drown herself Suddenly
the girl ran out from the bushes and
waded as far as her knees, and threw
herself head foremost into the water.
She was unable to keep her head I'M
der, so she lay down on her back. Mr..
Greene hurriedly padded to the spot,
and grabbed her by the hair. With
the assistance of two other men in
boat he succeeded in kee ping her head
above the water She was pulled out.
soon revived and was taken back to the
school.

FREIGHT rs HEAVY.
More Cars Are Arriving Than Recorded in the
Past 81 Years of the Towns History.

The increased railroad traffic is moi
confined to the summer guest alone,
for there is marked growth in freight
transportation, especially since the
Boston Il Maine assumed the manage
ment of the Fitchburg division, divert
ing traffic to this line from western
points, says the Republican cores
pendent. Brattleboro is receiving more
direct freight from the various rail-
roads than ever before. Cars from all
the so-called "color lines" are coming
here in greater numbers than hereto
fore, which is said to be of great advan-
tage to shippers.
Freight Agent Burke's record for
one week showed 11SS more cars ar
irving in Brattleboro than for any sim
liar period in the "a years history of
the local roads. Just now quantity
of hemp for western harvesters is being
shipped through Brattleboro, includ-
ing three or four cars a day of binding
Irvine from Ludlow, Mass, manufac-
turers. Sugar is another commodity
requiring largely increased number
of cars, while all classes of domestic
and foreign goods are nowadays taxing
increased accommodations. Freight
from western points is being shipped
over the Fitchburg division to Green
field, thence northward to reach the
more remote western sections.

BEAT THE WHEEL CLUE.
7. II. @. A. Team Put Up Great Fight and
Won Out In Ton Innings.

The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton downed the wheel club nine Sat
urday for the first time this season in
1O-inning game. Wet grounds and
rain prevented good fielding, but the
game was as exciting as any this sea-
son. The association team led from
the second inning, and the wheel club
tied the score in the ninth.
In the 10th Ferriter singled, went to
third on William Brooks's hit, and
scored the winning run on throw to
first. In the last half of the 10th
Frost got first on an error, stole Sec
ond, and went to third on another err
ror, but could not reach home, Mon
roe striking out the next three men.
The Young Mems Christian associa-
tion nine won by timely hitting and
using better judgment on the bases.
Ferriter made double play unassist-
ed, and Reed and Stolte also contrib
uted fast double. W. w. Brooks's
work in catching for the association
team, Brasor's one-hand catch and
fuckers hitting were features. The
