ORDERED OUT OF TOWN

Jack" Myers who was severely
handled by a gang of masked men in
Pownal few days ago was here Sat

about his case. :. Myers states that
since the state'sI attorney visited

cation by word of mouth that if he

have notified another man that they
intend to visit him soon If he doesn't
move.
While here Myers purchased a %
calibre revolver with ammunition and

Joint Meeting Of Veterans
Saturday Night.
PROGRAM UNDER WAY.
Services Will ExempIify Gen.
Grants Famous Advice,
"Let Us Have Peace"

The meeting of GAR comrades at
the hall in the Newton building on
Main street Saturday evening was an
unqualified success and the dove of
peace appears to have settled perman-
emily.
A larger part of the comrades were
present. Before the gathering was
called to order by Comrade ]. C.
Clark, the WRC served rations, but
in far different shape than they were
served in 1s64.\ The joint committee
made its report in reference to the
memorial day observance and the same
was accepted and adopted.
The report as presented outlines a
program substantially the same as has
been observed here for several years.
The graves of the comrades in the BEN
nington Center and village cemeteries
will be visited and decorated in the
morning. Detachments from company
* will go with the comrades and fire
salutes. The Bennington drum corps
will go with the detachment to Ben
nington Center in the morning. -
In the afternoon comrades and vet
erans generally will form on Schoo
street, march to the Soldiers Home,
where graves in the cemetery will be
visited and decorated, followed by an
address.
A special train later will take the or
ganizations represented to North Ben
nington where memorial exercises will
be carried out, Comrades will also be
detailed to visit different cemeteries in
this vicinity and see that the graves in
them are properly attended to-
The observance of the day this year
will mean more to veterans than it has
for several years past.

Mil at COhOes an Enlargement Of the Wright
Plant.

NIL at CohoeS an Enlargement OF the Wright
Plant
The action of the Wright health un-
derwear company of Pownal in leasing
a mill in Cohoes, has led to the report
that the company was to close up all
its mills, combining the business and
building an immense plant at Coboes,
where about 5000 hands would be EN-.
ployed.
Rumors to this effect have reached
Pownal and of course much concern
has been felt
The Pownal management was asked
Saturday regarding the possibility of
the plart being moved, and it was stat
ed emphatically that no such move was
contemplated.
The company is overrun with orders
aud the leasing of the Cohoes mill was
simply for the sake of helping them.

TRENOR PARK FINED.
Convicted Of Running hisEAuto too Fast at
Rochester

Trenor L. Park, commodore of the
American Yacht club, was arraigned
before Judge Kane in Port.Chester, N.
Y, Saturday, on a charge of speeding
his automobile in violation of the law.
A fine of s25 was paid under protest by
Mr. Park who said he would appeal to
the county court.
Patrolmen Lush, Plug and Tracy
testified Park had driven his machine
one-eighth of mile in twenty-three
seconds, which was equivalent to nine
teen and half miles an hour. Park 5
counsel moved for the dismissal of the
case on the ground the law under
which the arrest was made had been
repealed this week. Judge Kane held
that Park had been arrested when the
old law was in vogue, and the motion
was denied.
Mr. Park testified his machine was
travelling at the rate of about thirteen
miles an hour, the Boston postroad
was clear at the time and there was no
danger to any one, as he could bring
the auto to full stop within IS feet.
In the machine with him he said, we're
his wife and Mrs Buckley. Despite
the contention of Parks cohnsel, the
jury found him guilty.

STRIKE MAY END
President Roosevelt viii be Asked to
interfere

CHICAGO The great. packers
strike Is likely to end in wild
stampede of the men to regain their
positions. Committees from seven
allied trades called on the packers
and asked If their old places were
still open to them. It is freely pre-
dicted that the strike will collapse
soon.
The allied trades are preparing
petition to be sent to President
Roosevelt asking him TO settle the
strike. They argue that the situ-
alton is similar to that existing when
he interviewed in the anthracite coal
strike, and they believe word from
him will bring about an equitable
settlement" In the face of these
preparations President Donnelly says
the strike is being operated salts.
factorily and there is no occasion for
the president to interfere.
A rumor is heard on all sides to the
effect that President Roosevelt will
summon representatives of both sides
to Washington for conference.
The strikers suffered another re-
verse when Sheriff Barrett refused to
interfere with the police who are ar
resting pckets for intimidating non
union men. The committee told the
sheriff that the police were provoking
riots by interfering with the work"
of pickets. The sheriff saw the lu.
morous side of the plea, anil told the
committee the pickets would have to
go to the courts for redress. On their
behalf the police defied the sheriff
and said they would lock him UP If
he interfered with them.
President Donnelly charges that
| there are traitors in the union. He
also says the riotins and discomfort
| is entirely due to renegade union
men and thugs, hired TO create dis.
