jury Declared Rogers Not Guilty.

Fisk G. Rogers, proprietor Of Rogers's
Inn at West Dummerston, was acquitted
Saturday of the charge of selling liquor
without a license. The hearing was held
before Justice f. d. E. Stowe of Brattle-
boro and d jury Of Dummerston men con-
sisting Of G.. Il. Reed, George Crosby.
Charles Crosby. G. b.. Field, Hoyt
Spaulding and l.. l.. Stark. States At
torney Schwenk appeared for the prose-
cution and Judge Waterman, i. W. Glib
son and r. c. Bacon for the respondent.
The defense put in no testimony, and the
only witness for the state was Adm Mil
Ter. town clerk 1t was conceded that
sales of liquor had been made, as spec
flied in the warrant complaint, and in or
der to justify the sales the defense Of
cred Rogers first and s~econd-class Ii
censes, which We're without the signature
Of the town clerk. The law requires that
the town clerk shall countersign licenses
and record them. which was not done in
the case Of either of Rogers's licenses.
States Attorney argued that the
licenses were not legal until every re-
quirement of the law had been complied
with, and the case turned on the ques-
ton of whether Rogers's licenses, not re-
corded or countersigned were valid. He
argued that II the town clerk refused to
coCntersign the licenses 1t was Rogers's
business to bring n writ of mandamus
against him compelling him to show
cause why he should not do so. Judge
Waterman, in summing up for the re-
spondent, argued that Mr.. Rogers had
fulfilled his part, that the licenses We're
granted by the license board after formal
notice of a hearing. that Rogers tendereC
his fees of $3.50 to the treasurer. who is
also town clerk, and that he was not re-
sponsible for the omissions OF the town
clerk. No evidence was introduced to
show why the town clerk refused to sign
the license. except that such refusal was
made on advice Of counsel. The jury was
out only n short time. While the jury
was arriving at a verdict Deputy Sheriff
c. l. Knapp, in behalf of the respondent,
served a writ of mandamus on Town
Clerk Miller ordering him to appear be-
fore the supreme court at the October
term to show cause why he should not
countersign the licenses.

BASE BALL NOTES.

The most vociferous partisans in
shouting for Brattleboro the Fourth were
the fans from Ashuelot.
Slattery has had an offer to go to the
Plattsburg club in the Northern league,
but will remain with Brattleboro.
Buck" Morrison. one of the rovers in
base ball, who was with Amidon's Hins-
dale club. Joined Manchester of the New
England league last week. In his first
game he mad a three-bagger and two
sacrifice hits. netting three runs.
The game between Winchester and AS
huelot at Winchester Saturday was a tie,
2-2. in the eighth inning, when Umpire
Hewett of Ashuelot called a runner out
for interference with a fielder. A kick
followed, the game was stopped, and
Hewett awarded it to Ashuelot, 80. Man.
ager Leisure of Winchester protested and
probably the executive committee OF the
league will be called upon to settle the
question of the result of the game.
Manager Amidon of Hinsdale Is pushing
his newly-organized team with his usual
enterprise. His aggregation now includes
Birmingham, late of Manchester, who has
been with several professional teams, first
base; Landy of Holyoke, second; Wood

Smith and Converse as substitutes.
Cornelius Sullivan, captain of the Keene
club, died suddenly from heart disease
in Keene Friday. Sullivan was one of the
old timers having played ball more than
20 years. In his younger days he was
one of the best amateur catchers in New
England. He was a bright, witty coacher
and kept up an incessant stream of ak
while on the ball field. In the early sos,
when Foley, George Brasor and others
were on the Brattleboro team, Sullivan's
pitcher sustained an injury in a game
here. To the surprise of everybody Sulli-
van went into the box, and largely by his
talk and jollying worked the batters to
such an extent that they hit him but little
and he won the game. About 20 years
ago when Amherst needed a good catcher
Sullivan was drafted to the college ranks
and he played good ball there throughout
one season. After leaving Amherst he
was with professional clubs in Fort
Wayne, Toledo, Oswego, Rochester,
Springfield and Hudson, Mass, Bellows
Falls, Rutland and Haverhill. He had
filled nearly every position in the infeld.
He was AZ years old. He is survived by
a wife. father, three brothers and three
sisters.

KNOCKING SON e.
Ashuelot Base Ball Management objects
to Certain Statements and Pays COM
piiments to winchester.

The account of Saturdays ball game
between Winchester and Ashuelot at
Winchester as in the Star must have
originated in the fancies of a disordered
brain. Some of the remarks are not
only presentations, but if made by a
person accountable would be considered
insulting. 1t would be a great deal bet
ter if the Star editor could get some one
in Winchester to write up the games
just as they are played, even if Winches-
ter met defeat. In regard to umpires we
would say that at no time has our UNI
pire given the battery signals to the bat
ter, nor has he ever coached the base
runner while he was umpiring bases.
Early in the season the attention of the
leagues president was called to the fact
that neutral umpires would give better
satisfaction, but evidently he thought he
could win more games with Thompson,
and after seeing how we'll ED" has per-
formed we agree with Mr.. Leisure, and in
regard to dirty ball playing it would
be decidedly wrong for any one to ac-
cuse any of the Winchester boys of dirty
ball playing" for we all know that they
are very gentlemanly young men, both
in their playing and in their coaching,
always being careful with their language
lest they might offend. Not one of them
would ever think of playing a mean trick
or doing a dirty act on the ball field.
In fact, we ave always expected to see
them appear on the ball field in full even
ing dress in order to bring the game up to
that high moral standing so we'll appreci-
ated in Winchester.
