The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1904-02-25

A quarryman from Bethel arrived in
town on Monday of last week with an
aching tooth, and to quell the pang she
purchased goodly amount of a ceI-
tain amber colored liquid to act as
nerve bracer. After taking several
liberal doses he visited local dentists,
athen lacking the requisite cour-
age obtained more of the above men,
toned liquid, only Of different color,
and then tried them all again. By
the time he had visited four dentists
and doctor and they had all had
whack at the offender the liquid had
reached It's height and the sufferer
quite forgot his pain and was giving
free for all exhibition OH the common.
He was arrested and placed IN Jail
where he was left to recuperate from
his painful ordeal. To do the man
Justice will state that he was drunk
and admitted the fact but didn't in
tend to become intoxicated or create
any sensation, but as the jag all settled
in the vicinity of the tooth it wrought
the havoc and while his powers of
locomotion were all right the liquor
made a different man of him He
came with the tooth and he left with
it and in both coming and going it re-
amained in his mouth. A man should
be forgiven for almost any sort of con-
duct when suffering from an aching
tooth.
The community was saddened to
learn of the death of Willard +. Duns-
moor which occurred on Saturday
morning about five O'Clock He had
been ill only two days with the grip
and the end was very sudden and
wholly unexpected. For years the de-
ceased has been prosperous farmer
on West Hill, His age was nearly sew
entv years. He was a man of few
words but true and constant in his
! affections, lived by the golden rule
and died in full faith of his reward.
Four children survive him, Frank, of
Adams, Mass, Mrs Clarence Steele
of Barre. Edwin, with whom he lived,
and Mrs. Elmer Holmes of Barre. One
brother, Edwin R., and three sisters,
Mrs. Mary Thresher of Montpelier,
Mrs. Jane Jones of the Center and
Mrs Sarah Snow of West hill. The
funeral was neld at his late home on
| Monday at O'Clock Rev. W. S. Ha-
! zen officiating, and interment was at
] the Center. The sincerest sympathy is
extended to the family. His passing
away removes another good man from
the community.
Miss Jennie Matson. who has been
at home for some weeks past recover
ing from an attack of typhoid fever,
has so far resumed her usual health as
to be able to return to Barre this
week to resume her duties as nurse.
That history repeats itself is shown
in the fact that the fair maiden whose
standard weight is 4l5 pounds, oil test,
and who has won SO much notoriety
in the local papers of late has left oul
vicinity. Her arrival, stay and de-
parture in Montpelier and this towr
almost precisely coincide. On both
instances the evening train was late,
steamed into the station, hurriedly nm
loaded the wanderer and departed
She sought charity among strangers
and some of the leading city and towI
officials were the persons whose lot il
fell to provide for her welfare. In {
short time her exceedingly talkativt
manner quite overcame her first vic
tim with whom she spent day o.
two, thence was conveyed to the SEQ
ond abiding place. 1t seems on boti
occasions she entertained serious in
tentions of establishing an Office oil
the main thoroughfare for the prac
tice of her art of medicine, at tn,
same time requesting the other physi
clans not to leave the places as sh
would prescribe for only such cases a
their skill was unable to heal. A
nobody seemed to be in need OF he
assistance she did not start any offices
neither did she bring about any mar
velous cures, but instead resumed he
journey by easy stages and it is SAT
} enough to state that the next static

until her next jump, which will prob
