LE1GTE FOE N ED.

The sun begins to shine in the local
base ball world. The sporting blood
of Montpelier will not be thing of
the past and the enthusiastic base bali
"rooters" will soon be airing their
voices from the grand stand in sup
port of team that will be worthy of
their applause. The doubt which has
hung over the project of the repre-
sentation of Barre & Montpelier in
the northern league has practically
cleared away, and the two cities which
have each supported seminary teams
SO we'll in the past will jointly hold a
little gathering of supporters around
nine good men during the summer
and see that the ball is kept going.
There has been doubt even as to the
formation OF the league at different
times as it was very doubtful about
st. Adams at one time, which would
probably have affected Plattsburg's
decision, but by meeting held in
st. Adams the other. night the matter
was settled in favor of the support of
team and thu league will remain the
same as at first planned with the ex-
ception of Rutland, thus making the
following cities represented, Montpe-
lier and Barre, St Adams, Plattsburg
and Burlington.

9TH FIRE IN SAME PLACE

For the fifth time in seven weeks
the Barre fire company was called out
on Saturday evening to extinguish a
blaze in the Central Vermont station.
The first two times the fire was set in
the Central Vermont freight depot
and the last three in the passenger
station. There has been no question
but that all of them were of incendi-
airy origin as remains of papers, etc.
have been found each time which
were evidently used in starting the
blaze. The fire on Saturday evening
occurred about o'clock and was in
the attic of the station. The alarm
was rung in by William Honeyman,
an employee of the freight department.
The Barre officials are in an anxious
state as it is feared that fire bug is
at work.

IN SEARCH OF FATHER.

Bennington, March 26 Deputy
Sheriff Frank A. Wilson of North
Pownal left Tuesday for Chicago, ILL.,,
in search of his father, Richard Will.
son, who left his home thirty years
ago, and who has never since been
Pownal from New York State some 80
years ago, married Kate Gardner and
for few years they appeared to be
contented and happy. She was a
hustling, hard working woman,
cared but little for pleasure, while
he was one of those happy go-lucky
fellows, that always got along. Dis
agreements continually sprung up and
one day Wilson departed, leaving no
word where he was going. 1t was
thought that he would soon return or
send some word as to his whereabouts,
but time flew on and no word came.
Several years after he left, word came
to the family that he had been seen
in Chicago. Efforts there to locate
him failed, and from that time to
now not thing has been heard from
him. Mrs. Wilson, who had never
secured bill of divorce. died about
three weeks ago. She leaves quite an
estate, 200 acre farm in tirst-class
order, some other properties, all paid
for, and the son, Frank, the only
heir. To properly settle this estate,
it will be necessary to secure the sig.
nature of the husband and father to
some of the documents, and it is in
hopes to secure these, that Mr.. Will
son, who is the executor Ct the estate,
has left on his errand.

&. II. SHIPMAN ED.

Mr.. and Mrs. O. H. Shipman had a
narrow escape from being killed on
Sunday afternoon They had been to
Barre to attend church and, as the
eleotrics did not run in the afternoon,
they started TO walk home in company
with Mrs. Harlan Cheney and Hernert
Chapman. who also found themselves
in Barre with no means of transporta-
Central Vermont bridge which is very
near the electric road car barn about
clock in the afternoon. Half of
the bridge spans the river and about
half a sort of gully or bank of the
river When about half way across
the bridge, the party became aware
of the approach of a freight train com.
ing from Barre. Mrs. Cheney and
Herbert Chapman started to run and
succeeded in reaching the end of the
bridge in time to get out of the way
of the train.
Y Mr.. and Mrs Shipman, however,
we're not so fortunate. They, too,
started to run, Mr.. Shipman attempt
ing to assist his wife. The latter
stumbled at an inopportune moment
and Mr.. Shipman, struck by the cylin-
der of the engine, fell off the bridge
landing on the snow, ice and cinders
below. Mrs. Shipman was in a pre-
carious position Her presence of
mind probably saved her life. See
ing that she had not time to get
through the bridge by running she
dropped down beside the track, lying
fiat with her face to the ground cling
ing TO the beam which runs the full
length of the bridge and to which the
ties are attached. She lay perfectly
still while the engine and six cara
which by this time had slowed down,
went by. So close was she to the
train that when the engine passed her
the oil cylinders struck the collar of
her cape turning it up. AT the time
the accident occurred Supt. Andrus of
the electric railway, Charles Halves,
q conductor, and l.. NJ. Huse were
standing near the car barn, They ran
out and rendered what assistance they
could. Mr.. Shipman was somewhat
dazed and complained of his arm.
Mrs Shipman vas not injured. The

GEORGE HILL INJURED.

A peculiar accident happened to
George Hill, brakeman on the Mont
pelier and Wells River shifter, this
morning, The shifter, with eight
cars, was running in the direction of
Barre. Mr.. Hill was standing, facing
in the direction of Montpelier on one
of the rear cars. AS the train was
passing Sabin's crossing in some way
his head came in contact with wire
which he thought was the electric
road trolley wire and he was thrown
with tremendous force face downward
on the top of the car. His face was
badly cut and smashed and he was
nearly stunned but he managed to
crawl along on top of the cars the full
length of the train until he could
motion to the occupants of the cab
of the engine to stop. The train by
this time had reached the new electric
light station. The train backed up
and the injured man was taken to
the Montpelier and Wells River shops
and hack summoned. He was
taken to physician and his wounds
were dressed. 1t was found that his
nose was slightly fractured and cut,
his chm cut in two places, his fore
head cut and badly bruised necessitat-
ing some stitches being taken. Mr..
Hil's escape was narrow one for had
he fallen from the TOP of the car it is
probable he would have been killed.
