INTERESTING POINT OF LAW.
involved In a Case Before Judge
Wheeler Monday Afternoon.

A hearing took place before Judge
Wheeler In Waterman ~ Mnrtihs OF
fee Monday afternoon on the petit
ton of John G.. Farrar for release
from the house of correction AT Rut-
land, Farrar was formerly teller OF
the First National bank OF Water
bury and was convicted for embezzle-
ment of the bank funds In 1888, be-
ing sentenced to seven years I'M
prlsonment The amount of his de-
falcatlon was about S3l,oo0'
During the latter part of october
Farrar's father was killed and Farrar
was given permission by District At
tornev Martin to so home, In charge
of "A keeper, 10 remain until after the
funeral Subsequently Farrar petit
toned Mr. Martin for his release un-
der chapter ii40 of the laws OF the
fifty- seventh congress- first session,
claiming his liberty from october "a
MIR. Martin exfmned the statute and
was of the opinion that section l and
section were contradictory, and con-
seauently refused TO release Farrar,
being unwilling to take the RESPONSE
bility of constituting the statute.
Thereupon Farrar brought peti-
ton for a writ of habeas corpus TO
Judge Hoyt II. Wheeler. In the Unit
ed States district court. who set
hearing for Monday afternoon. Far
rar and his counsel, l., c. Moody, OF
waterbury. were present, also Supt.
q. l.. Morgan of the house of correc-
ton. Judge T.. l.. Waterman appeared
for the government, District Attorney
Martin being absent, 1t appeared that
as far as behavior was concerned
Farrar had been an exemplary prls-
oner. The state law gives i've days
Communication of sentence each month
for prisoners of good behavior. I'm
der the state law Farrar's sentence
would expire next July.
The fifty seventh congress passed a
law, the first section of which pro-
yides that each person who mas been
or shall hereafter be convicted OF any
offence against the laws OF the Unit
ed states, and Is confined, In eXecu-
ton of the judgment or sentence.
etc "whose record of conduct shows
that he has faithfully observed an
the rules and has not been subjected
TO punishment" shall be entitled to a
deduction, from the term of his sem
tence of eight days for each month
of his sentence; this for sentences of
not more than ten nor less than hVe
wears. Section of the same statute
saws; This act shall apply only TO
sentences imposed by courts subse-
quent to the time that this act takes
effect" Under the first section Mr..
Farrar claimed that the words has
been" entitled him to his liberty Octo-
Der A. Judge Waterman's position
was that it was for the court to con-
strue the law, not the district attor-
ney, and he made no argument.
Judge Wheeler admitted Farrar to
hail i'm the sum of 500, which was
furnished, Attorney L. c. Moody be-
coming surety II is expected that
Judge Wheeler will not give his de-
cision for several days.

OPEN SEASON FOR TROUT.
Bill to Change It in Windhar County
to One Month Earlier.

representative Walter Walker OF
Dummerston has introduced in the
legislature bill changing the
open trout season in Windham
county. This bill makes the open
season continue from April / to July
/. instead of from May l to Sept.
as at present. Windham county trout
fishermen who have the future OF
this excellent sport at heart have
long seen the need of a change IN laws
which protect it. and 1t is the con-
sensus of opinion that Mr.. Walker
has the proper remedy embodied in
his bill. In spite of the continuous
stocking that has been done trout
fishing in Windham county has not
improved in recent years, and many
attribute this to the fact that the
streams are opened too late ana
closed too late.
Under ordinary conditions the first
of May sees the brooks in just the
right state for the taking OF trout
and the result is that they are prac-
tically fished to death during the
first few days of the open season. On
the other hand, If the season pegail
April 1 the streams at first would be
much too high to furnish the best
fishing and the anglers would visit
them gradually, taking advantage OF
the improving conditions but not go
ing out by the score on the first DAY
of the open season and spelling the
fishing for the remainder OF the
summer.
In Cheshire county, N. H. where
the conditions are about the same as
in this county, the law on trout IS
off April l and the idea works ad-
mirably. 1t is well-known Iac.
among students of trout culture that
the females begin to- get ready TO
SHAWN in July and August and that
when large catches are made during
these months the supply for the FOL
lowing year is cut down greatly. Ihas
alone is sufficient reason for closing
the season July /, as 1t is far more
desirable to have two months OF goou
fishing than four of mediocre sport.
Another strong reason for the pas
sage of the special act regarding the
trout season in Windham county Is
the fact that the state fish commas
sioners are planning an attempt 10
make the open season throughout tne
state begin May Is and close Aug. l.
While this change would work excel
lently in the northern portions or the
state IT would have anything but
beneficial effect in this county where
warm weather is earlier by several
weeks. Not only would the streams
be skinned" in the first few days, but
many of those in the more remote
portions of the county would be fished
before the law was off so that the
man who waited until the proper time
would find nothing to reward him Tor
abiding by the statute.
II is hoped that all who are inter-
ested i'm improving the trout fishing in
yVindham county will use their influ-
ence to SECURE the passage of MI

Said Druggist Greene, This is the

want to tell them the best means for

Don't dose the stomach with cough
syrups. It's no use; they only soothe

heal at all.
'The best cure we know is Vinol,
which contains in highly concen-
trated form all of the healing, cura-
tive elements taken from genuine
fresh Gods livers, without O drop of
retard Its work. 1t contains no sick
ening drugs whatever. Vinol is
splendid for lung or bronchial

tubes. 1t makes rich, red blood.
builds up the appetite and creates
strength; in fact, 1t Is the best rem
edy we have ever sold in our store
for chronic coughs, colds, bronchitis,

Besides the large number of Brat
tleboro people who have been cured
and made well and strong by Vinol,
we receive many letters like the fol-
lowing
Hon. H. Mason of Jacksonville,
Fla, writes: "A couple Of months
ago l contracted a severe cold, which
it seemed impossible to cure. 1t set
tied on my lungs, causing hard
cough, which kept me awake nights,
and soon weakened nay system so that

Vinol was recommended to me by a
friend and / began to take 1t as d.
rected. The second night I had only
one coughing spell, and within week
I was not disturbed once during the
night.
Naturally my progress was fast
after this, and my lungs healed rap
idly, my strength returned, and l
gained in flesh and health. In fact,
this medicine restored me to perfect

Will Answer to Charge of Burglary
at April Term Of Court.
Harold Holbrook, to whom evidence
points as being one of the gang tnat
robbed the Newfane Savings pank
last August, was brought Wlthin .ns
crash of Vermont justice Monday ana
70 now awaiting trial for burglary at
the April term of Windham county
court. AS told in the Reformer, Hoi-
brook was captured in Boston three
weeks ago with several other yegg-
men who were starting presumably
IN a blowing job. At a prellm-
mary hearing the following MONDAY
he was held as fugitive from justice
and his case continued until Nov. 2.
Nv considerable effort States Attor-
new Schwenk secured a further con-
tinuance of the case until MONDAY oi
this week, meanwhile getting GOV
ernor Bell to sign the necessary req,
uisition papers. Mr. ScnWehh anu
sheriff wilkins went to Boston Mon
dav morning and were able to FUR
nish the attorney general of Massa-
chusetts with sufficient evidence OF
Hoibrook's completely with the New
fame robbery to warrant Governor
Rates's signing the papers ALREADY
signed by Governor Bell.
Holbrook was brought from Boston
70 south Vernon by a Massachusetts
officer Monday afternoon, SherlH VIII
kins taking charge of him as soon as
he PASSED into this state. Tne az
legged bank robber was taken at once
TO Newfane Jail and on Tuesday was
arraigned before Justice F.. ID. =.
stowe on the charge of burglary. he
HEADED not guilty and waived exam
nation. being placed under $s,ooV
bonds for his appearance at the April
term of Windham county court. 1t is is
extremely unlikely that Holbrook wn I'll
be able to furnish bail, and ne VIII
probably be taken to the state PTS,
on at windsor for safe keeping until
next spring.

Editor OF the Reformer:
Sir.--In justice to the family OF X.
N. Fairbank, of this town, feel
Obliged to make brief statement
relative to the disappearance OF Les
ter ]. Stafford, who has been support
ed In Mr.. Fairbanks family. From
some unknown source various rumors
have been started and extensively
circulated, to the effect that Stafford
had been badly treated shortly be-
fore he went away, also that MS
property would fall to the Fairbank
family upon his decease. Both OF
these statements are wholly erro-
neous, and without any basis what
ever. None of the family ever had
any occasion or any disposition TO Ill
treat Stafford. They were well paid
for his board and care at certain
price per week, and had no interest In
his property after his death. HIS
heirs are remote relatives, living at n
distance, who have not seen or heard
from Stafford for many years. Those
who know the Fairbank family know
them as honest, kindly Christian
people, against whom there is no
shadow of suspicion in this lament
able affair. II was In their interest
that he should live and remain with
them. There was no possible motive
for foul play on the part of any one.
and none is suspected, but through
Ignorance of the circumstances some
thoughtless person or persons mas
circulated rumors of most wrongful
and unjust kind, and these have be-
come so widespread, gaining some
credence with strangers, that ! feel 1t
my duty to make and do hereby make
an emphatic and public refutation OF
all stories pertaining to this matter
and derogatory to the Fairbank fam
