HORNS MUST
BE VISIBLE
Decision Rendered In Rutland
Deer Hunting Case
FINED 500 AND COSTS
Court Holds That Horns Not
Visible are Not Covered By
the Law
FINED 500 AND COSTS

Montpelier, Nov 20. Supreme Court
went in yesterday morning for the pur-
pose of making enteries in cases al
ready heard and for the disposition of
the Rutland county case of State VS.
st John. The respondent was charg.
ed with illegally killing deer.
This is the case in which Judge Ty-
Ter rendered the decision which has
since been so much quoted by the fish
and game commissioners and others
interested. Chief Judge Rowell gave
judgment that there was no error in
the proceedings in county court and
that the respondent takes nothing by
his exceptions. He was sentenced to
pay fine of 500 and costs with the
alternative sentence and to stand com
mitted until the sentence was complied
with. He paid his fines and costs and
was released from custody.
Before sentence was pronounced,
when asked if he had anything to say,
st John stated that he shot the deer in
question just at dusk, supposing it had
horns long enough to comply with the
law, and that he could not understand
why his case had been prosecuted

MOCK COURT TRIAL
Assurances Of Fine Entertainment Wednesday
Evening.

Regarding the big Mock Court trial
at the Opera house on Wednesday
evening, November 23rd, it is hardly
necessary to say more than it is com
ing off as scheduled and will furnish
the biggest dose of fun that an equal
sum of money ever purchased before
There is a great deal of interest natu-
rally and the proceedings will be so
skillfuily managed that the attention
will be closely held up all the way
through Several attempts have been
made the past week to tamper with the
jury but their price is said to be so
high that they are yet uncontaminated,
though as much as 81. 9S is said to have
been offered.
Deep interest centers around the
testimony Of f. b. Patterson and
the prosecution is so anxious over
what he may say that liberal iaduce-
ments have been offered him to be too
i'll to attend. He is now under police
protection and he is allowed to eat
only groceries brought from Wood
ford.
The prosecution is relying heavily
on the evidence of Mrs Mary B Merrill
who will testify as to the general char
acter of the defendant.

while many others of similar char
acter had not.
Chief Judge Rowell replied that so
far as this court was concerned 1t had
as yet nothing to do with the other
cases mentioned, but in the case at
bar the court holds that so long as the
horns of the deer killed did not pro-
trude through the skin the animal did
not have horns within the meaning of
the law.

EARLY WINTER.

Causes Several Large Lumber Mills To Shut
Down.
The sudden arrival OF winter last
week was the cause of several lumber
mills shutting down. Among them was
the large mill of the Deerfield Valley
company known as the Mountain mills.
The crew was all paid off and left the
mill except the laborers.
The season this year has been two
months longer than last year. Should
the weather come warm again some of
the mills may start up for the purpose
of filling some small orders left on the
books. Lumbermen have already
commenced numbering for the winter.

THE EAST RIVER
CATASTROPHE

Words cannot portray adequately
the horror and the pathos Of the fright
full catastrophe in the East river, near
New York, on Wednesday, says the
Baltimore "Sun," when hundreds Of
lives were lost by fire on steamer
crowded with excursionsts. 1t is un-
expressibly sad that many Of those
Nh) persisted were children, who had
left the great city fol a day of inno-
chnt recreation. Their outing was
not for a day, but for eternity. Death
came to some of them in that terrible
form-doath by the flames. 1t was a
heartbreaking tragedy one which is
so ovcl~ helming that even vast CON-
munity like New York is stunned by
it.
Less than six months ago, on De-
cember 80, 1908, the country was
shocked by the Iriquois Tbeater dis
aster in Chicago, when 59l persons
were killed in a fire panic. Many
children persisted in this catastrophe.
In the mad rush of the rrepzied audi
ence for the exits from the tbeater to
the street, the little ones were knock
cd down and trampled upon by the
panic-stricken crowd. A few were
burned to death, but the majority OF
those WHO were killed were trodden un
der foot and suffocated. In Wednes-
days disaster there was an nncOntrolla-
bic panic as soon as it became appar-
ent that the vessel was on fire. Many
persons were crushed TO death OF
forced overheard by the stampede OF
passengers to tina: part Of the steamer
to which the flames had net extended

Senator German has been in Washing
ton this week i'm close communion
with several other Congressman who have
gathered at the party rendezvous at the
Riggs. They generally agree that the
Democratic candidate, whoever he is,
will make great inroads in the East,
probably carrying New York, Connect
cut, and New Jersey. But they do not
conceal the fact that they are vey anxious
about the middle West Whether Indiana
or Illinois is likely to be the more fruit
full field of effort, they are uncertain. If
the labor vote can be swung to the Demo-
cratic candidates, as it was in 1892, there
will be big Democratic majority in
Chicago, which the Reputlicanism of the
rural districts could not overcome. To
this end it might be desirable to take on
Marshall Field for Vice President, or
perhaps Williams or Folk. Many small
factories are closing; the coal mining
industry is not flourishing; the railroads
are discharging their hands by thu tens
of thousands. and there are grave signs
of dissatisfaction among the masses.

BUSINESS OF FARMING.

Agriculture is the basis of all business
the stone in the northeast corner of every
structure, the foundation of all wealth.
all prosperity, all enlightment, truly says
the New York Tribune Farmer. 1t leads
the way in every new land and plants
schools and churches. 1t opens up
the country and paves the way for manu-
featuring, for business Of all kinds. In
fine, it is pioneer in the civilization OF
the world Webster once said: Cali
national wealth depends on an enlighten
ed agricultural" He might have added
that all national prosperity depends on a
happy agriculture.
Farming is creative industry. The
land titled by the intelligent husbandman
of today is continually improving. It's
productive capacity increases from year
to year, SO that we are not only produc
ing for the world, but are adding to the
value of the plant itself. No other in
dustry does this The lumberman destroys,
the miner makes everything around him
unsightly, the manufacturer simply
changes the form of the material he works
on.
Farmers are too often prone to look
backward on the achievements of the past
and in doing so may do themselves an in
Justice The past, it is true, should be
ever before US; it's lessons should become
one fund of information; but beyond that
it has no place in the mind or thought of
any farmer who would have his labor
bring results equal TO the needs of the
times The past becomes valuable or
worthless to US according to whether we
have Luilded in it with skill, intelligence
and fore thought; accor ding as it is filled
with achievements which form milestones
every one of which counts for progress
We are building our past every day. The
brief space of time which may be counted
as now is continually moving on the dial
and as each hour leaves US we should
note the results of the efforts that go with
it.
There can be no advancement without
effort, no improvement without thought
and no mental or moral uplift, to which
all things else must be subordinate, with
out sacrifices and self denials The pres
ent alone is ours, and it is our province
to build upon it 4 structure of character
that shall be firm and symmetrical,
grounded upon natures truths and
adorned with arch and buttress and dome
and spire of accomplishments. according
to our best know ledge and skill.
