BULLETS THROUGH THE WINDOWS.
Were Fired Into Jardine & Co. S Store
Night Before the Fourth-Niaht Was
Unusually Quiet.

The only instance of malicious mis-
chief in Brattleboro on the night before
the Fourth, so far as reported to the
police officers, took place between II and
IL o'clock, when bullets were shot at the
windows in Jardine * Co.'S store, the
corner store in the Brooks House build
ing. one window being pierced and another
being broken and both being shattered
for a radius OF several inches from the
point OF impact The windows which
were struck were the two next north Of
the main entrance to the Brooks House.
In the morning a bullet was found on the
sidewalk under the first window II
another bullet was found inside the store
under the second window. 4 third bullet
struck the iron post between the two
windows and fell to the sidewalk. where
II was found. People who sat on the
Brooks House balcony knew when the
shots We're fired as the report was differ
ent from that made by blank cartridges,
and one man at least looked over the
balustradc, but saw nothing to indicate
who fired the shots. The bullets struck
on the same level and to all appearances
they were fired by one person who was
walking along. 1t has been suggested
by some that the bullets may have been
mixed In with blank cartridges uninten-
tionally, but 1t seems strange that any one
could be guilty OF such criminal care
lessness. The bailiffs OF the village have
offered a reward OF s25 for information
which will lead to the arrest and convic-
ton OF the person who fired the shots.
+. c. Crosby. one OF the owners OF the
building. says that II will cost not far
from sl25 to replace the windows.
The police officers say that aside from
this shooting incident the Fourth and the
night before We're unusually quiet. The
small boys We're out in force and several
bonfires We're built on Main street and
elsewhere. An old buggy which cost Carl
Henkel $40 was taken from near Mr..
Henkels automobile house back of DR..
j. 5. buttons barn and burned in front
Of the Brattleboro House, The boys told
the officers that Mr.. Henkel gave 1t to
them. Its appearance indicated that the
boys were telling the truth An old sleigh
which was brought to light from some
unknown source was thrown off the Main
street bridge into Milestone brook. The
night before the Fourth. being Sunday
night. was generally respected. but occas-
ionally a firecracker was heard. There
were no serious accidents Monday. In
the evening more than the usual number
of home celebrations were held.

DIVIDED THE HONORS.
Winchester 6, Brattleboro 2, In Az
ternoon.

Bra%ttleboro and Winchester split even
on the double header July Fourth, the
home team winning in the morning : to
8 and Winchester taking the afternoon
contest 6 to .. Slattery did wonderfully
well considering that he was on the slab
for three games in succession. Aver threw
well. particularly in the morning. He is
a player who seems to improve with age,
and is doing better work today than he
did ten years ago. r. Allen and Ferriter
We're the old reliables in the outfeld. the
one error by the former being eXcusable.
Ferriter's three Dagger in the morning
was one of the prettiest drives ever seen
on the grounds. and would have been
good for a homer ordinarily. The work
Of Hanley behind the bat, Drugg at first
and q. Thompson at short was of a high
order for Winchester. and the Thompson
boys pitched well. a. Thompson In the
afternoon had the locals on the string to
an extent not credited to any other pitch
er this year, holding them down to four
hits and striking out IL men. Stolte's
home run in the fourth was a drive under
the apple tree in deep left field. An
amusing play was Slattery's catch of a
high infield fly in one hand when he,
Aver and l.. Allen ran for the ball. The
crowd was large at both games and en-
thusiasm ran high.

LEAGUE DISBANHED
Manager at Keene Died. Trouble
at Winchester and AshueIot
Clubs viii Play Independently Hereafter
Policy of Brattleboro Team Has Not
Been Fully Decided.

The Cheshire County Base Ball league,
after a short period of existence, has
gone where the woodbine twineth, to
quote James Fisk's expressive phrase.
The death of Manager Sullivan putting
the Keene team out of commission, and
tine differences between Ashuelot and
Winchester engendered by the game Sat-
urday, add to the complications. Man
ager Amidon was asked to bring the fast
new Hinsdale team into the league in
place of Keene, but he refused the offer.
1t was therefore decided Wednesday to
disband the league and let each team play
independently. The Winchester manage
is anxious to arrange a series of games
between Brattleboro and Winchester. No
game will be played in Brattleboro this
week, and the policy of the local man
agement for the rest of the season has
not been fully decided. Louis Allen will
go neXt week to Hinsdale to play as in
fielder for Amidon's aggregation. Fish
err, of the Y. NJ. C. A. team last year, who
did good work for Cushing academy at
second base this season, will be Brattle-
boro's' new short stop, and Stolte will
cover third base. 1t is believed hat this
combination with March on second and
Waite on first will give Brattleboro a
stronger infield than at any time this
season.

The Boston Herald of yesterday said:
"Guiheen of Fall River has been doing
some tall hitting of late. In q games he
has made 80 hits with a total of Sc. He
has a batting average of .SOS. In his last
nine games three doubles, five triples and
a home run. Not so bad for a cast-off."
