is yet to be determined for the victim
is back at the house from which he
was taken in spite of the warning that
the next time should be worse.
His statement that he knew seven of
the men who roughly handled him is
generally doubted owing to the fact
that all were masked and what little
talking was done was not in the nat
ural voices of the members of the
party. That it was not a very closely
laid plan was evident from the state
ment of several citizens yesterday to
the effect that there was a consider
able good natured disagreement
among the members Of the party as
to the final disposition of Myers.
Ifthe statement of the men that the
next time will be worse is carried out
and another one, that one or two other
men in town who are not satisfactorily
conducting themselves in the opinion
of their self appointed judges, is car
ried out, it is possible that Pownal
may have an exciting time on her
hands before many weeks.

Opening Of the Fishing Sea-
son Yesterday.
LARGEST TROUT ll-2LBS
Taken by Will Stewart from the
River Mountain Streams
Too Cold,

The legal open season for trout fish
ing began today but the streams we're
lined yesterday with fishermen who
braved the law and the gospel for the
sake of being early on the grounds.
The streams were high and the noun
tain brooks were green with snow wat
er, and most of the anglers were disap-
pointed
The best luck reported was on the
main streams. The Walloomsac
yielded few nice trout; some good
ones were taken from the Furnace
brook and the Pownal stream. The
Battenkill was below par and the Ar
lington streams, which are usually
early, proved disappointing for May
l.
Roaring Branch, Bickford Hollow,
the Dunville, He'll Hollow and the
0city" streams were all fshed, but as
a rule the results we're small and scat.
tering,
Fred Harmon took eight trout weigh
ing three pounds from the river below
the village.
E. Winslow and C. Herrick, who
were among those who went up to the
Battenkill, brought home over eight
pounds of trout.
VIII Stewart got only few but he
had one that weighed a pound and an
other a half FOUNDER.
Frank Taylor caught sixteen nice
ones from the river.
Fred Perry fshed the Jewett brook.
He caught only seven, but they weigh
ed two and one-half pounds, and one
in the lot weighed a pound.
George Rudd had fair luck on the
Glastonbury stream but none of the
catch were large
NJ. Barnes occurred six good sized
trout on the Pownal stream.
Several veterans from the Soldiers
Home had fair returns on the Furnace
brook.
Guy Livingston and Charles Don
nelly caught four pounds of trout from
the main stream.
w. d. Forbes and Ben Harmon went
to deer cabin in Somerset but found
that side of the mountain buried in
snow and got no trout.

DRANK SALOONS DRY
Rutland's Thirsty Make a Raid on West Rut-
land and Castleton.

Rutland, May 1.-The licensed sa-
looms at West Rutland closed last
night for year at least, the licenses
expiring yesterday. The electric car
company and the saloon proprietors
reaped harvest yesterday, the saloons
being drunk dry long before the clos
ing hour. AS Rutland is now dry
town large crowds attended the closing
out sale at West Rutland. When the
saloons in that place ran dry many
went to Castleton seven miles further.
Although there we're many medium
jags in evidence, there was no disturb
ance beyond a few skirmishes which
did not result seriously, The conduct
or and moterman on the last car from
which was loaded with
"jags," we're obliged to unload part OF
their cargo at West Rutland in order
to keep peace and the unfortunates
had to walk the remaining four miles
to this city.

ION the morning Of April 80 the

and turning our left flank Owing TO
the great superiority of the Japanese
forces we retreated to a position near

has forced the Yalu river and with
gallant infantry charge covering o
frontage Of four miles drove the Rus
slams from Chiutlencheng and the
heights on the right bank of the Tho or

is as follows:
AT o'clock in the morning Japa-

guns opened terrific fire on our posi-
ton at Turenchen and on our troops
posted near Poeitntinsky.
THE overwhelming superiority Of
the japanese in artillery and the heavy
losses their fire inflicted on our troops
occupying these positions made it clear

possible to hold Turenchen. Conse.

tire from Turenchen while still holding

river. 1t is reported that the Russians
will retreat to Fenghuancheng, which
Is on the road to Liaoyang.
The japanese naval movements
against VladlvOstok have failed of sue
