We relate with sincere regret OF
another loss that has befallen our
little village because of the depar-
ture of our neighbor and friend,
Mrs. Alma Randall Emmons, which
occurred last Fri lay afternoon. Less
than two weeks have passed since
Mrs. |. b. Gilbert, sister, was laid
away. We felt at that time the
burden was heavy and now we can
say little more than this. We shall
miss her, the entire community will
miss her continually. At the time OF
Mrs. Gilbert's burial Mrs. Emmons
was too i'll to be present, but we hoped
she might be left with us, we did not
want to spare her. We know that Di-
vine love and power and presence is
the same yesterday, today and for
ever Nevertheless we sorrow. This
dear wife and mother was all in all
in the home circle. The light is
dimmed, the chair is vacant. We
sympathize with the lone husband
and the two sons in their irreparable
loss. They laid the. loved one away
on Sunday, Dec. 20, the date Of
Gods great gift to the world. Rev
F. c. Putnam spoke words of conso
lation. Loving hearts had not for
gotten the beautiful tribute Of flow.
ers. With tender care they laid the
worn body in the Hillside cemetery
beside the little ones gone before
No partings there.

WINDSOR COUNTY COURT.
DECEMBER TERM, 1901

State VS.. Mike Vital, convicted o.
assault with intent to kill, was
brought in for sentence and given
not more than eight years nor less
than seven years in state prison.
State VS.. Adelbert Ayers, convict
ed of grand larceny, was sentenced
to not more than four years and not
less than three, in states prison.
Israel Balch VS.. Benjamin F.
Whelden has been on trial all the
week since court came together on
Tuesday after the Christmas vaca-
ton. The suit is to recover five
thousand dollars damages for ma,
licious prosecution. About three
years ago Mr.. Whelden sued Balch
for $4,000 and trusted all funds
coming to him and attached all his
property. The plaintiff Balch was
engaged in getting out pulpwood fol
paper manufactureries and Whelden
furnished the money. Then there
came time when Balch said he
could get along without further helr
from Whelden and a disagreement
arose. Then Whelden brought two
suits claiming to recover $4,000
When the case was heard before
Referee Jonathan Ross, he found
that Whelden was in fact owing
Balch. 1t cost Balch over two
thousand dollars for lawyers fees be-
sides the loss of his time. This &C
ton was broug ht to recover for snch
loss in money and time expended in
defending the suits, which Balch
claims were maliciously brought.
The defendent denies any malice
and claims the suits were brought to
get settlement of his matters with
Balch. Stickney and Sargent and
W. B. G. Stickney for plaintiff, F. A.
Walker, Fl. d. Ryder and G. f. Will

MAY Battle in the Air.

st. Petersburg, May 19.-One of the
reasons for the desperate effort of the
Russians to get to Port Arthur what is
officially called an ammunition
train" has been revealed by informa-
tion which leaked out to-day.
There was little need, it appears,
for more ammunition, great quantities
being stored in the fortress; but Cen
eral Stoessel was exceedingly anxious
to be provided with balloons. The
highest point of the fortress is the
Eagles Nest, from which much of the
surrounding country can be seen; but
balloons will facilitate observation. Be-
fore the war the Russian authorities
loaded on a vessel complete balloon
equipment for Manchuria, but 1t was
captured by the Japanese, who will
use it perhaps in their operations
against Port Arthur
Recognizing the need of providing
General Stoessel with all the requisite
instruments with which to conduct the
defense of Port Arthur, General kuro-
patkin is believed to have sent bal
looms on the ammunition train" The
Russian balloons are stationary.
'If the Japanese try to drift balloons
over Port Arthur and drop explosives
on the fortress" an officer said to-day.
"the world will hear of the first battle
in the air"
