after. forward to the State Board OF 15du-

both boys down and pinning them to
the ground until help came and rescued
them. The Shaffner boy was uncon-

The closing of the saloons was great
Improvement on the conditions which

was very little drunkenness Saturday,

drunken orgy.
There was large crowd on the street
Saturday night and the saloons were
very largely patronized allthe evening.
In large parties of three or four, the
crowd passed from one saloon to
another in a kind of farewell round.
The spirit Of conviviality seemed to
reign among all and not single ar
rest was made for drunkenness. Rut-

President 10 and Shareholders Ap-
prove Sale of Canal Route.
PARIS, April 25.-W. A. Day and
Charles w. Russell, the United States
assistant attorneys general and all the
other American Oaicials who have been
engaged in the Panama canal negotia-
tions are being congratulated on the
entirely successful results of the trans
action and on the overwhelming vote
by which the stockholders of the Pana-
ma Canal company approved the deed
of sale executed by President Bo and
Director Rischmann, which makes the
transfer complete without further
question.
Besides the S4O0OO,OOo purchase
price the Panama Canal company has
asked consideration for the money
spent on the canal since the original
price was fixed by the lsthmian canal
commission. 1t is estimated that the
work of excavation already accom-
plished was about $27,00O,000. After
the price was fixed the work OF eX-
cavation was continued, about 1000
men being employed, and the company
estimates that an additional $1,000,
600 was thus expended.

TO RAISE
Blue FOXES
Sheriff Godfrey EmbarkS in
New Ling.
ON WOODFORD FARM
The Skins of These Animals Are
Worth from $40 to SIS
Each.
ON WOODFORD FARM

Deputy sheriff Godfrey, who recently
purchased twelve acre lot OF ground
in Woodford has decided to turn
the ground into a place for tine pro-
pagation of the blue, or Alaskan foxes
a type of animal that is coming very
much into prominence because OF the
value or the fur which ranks next to
the silver grey fox. They propagate
quite rapidly, and some litters OF young
have been known to number as many
as eleven,
The lot is especially adapted for the
purpose, being uneven, and parti$ on
a side hill which viii give the animals
d chance to burrow to their hearts
content,
The entire tract will be enclosed with
heavy wire fence which will extend
six feet above the level of the ground
and twenty inches below, that being
considered sufficient to keep them in
side.
Mr. Godfrey has already ordered six
fully matured animals and.expects them
in a few weeks, and intends to have
the place ready by the time they reach
here.
There is one establishment OF this
kind in the state and the demand for
the fur is largely in excess of the
supply. Each skin is valued at from
$40 to S25. Mr. Godfrey expects that
his new venture will be a success and
if those who are established in other
places are anything to go by, it cannot
fail to be.

F. N. BUTLER WITHDRAWS'
H. 0. Carpenter, Anti-CIsmsnt Candidate for
Rutland Senator.

Rutland, April 23.-Judge Fred NJ.
Butler, of this city, who has been in
the field for some time as candidate
FOR state senator from Rutland, an
nounced this morning that he had decid-
ed TO withdraw from the contest.
The race thus far has been between
Judge Butler and Henry o. Carpenter,
both of whom are regarded as members
of the Mead faction of the Republican
party in this vicinity and it was sup
posed that there would beno other can
didate,
1t has Just been learned, however,
that State Senator Hiram F. Noyes,
of Rutland, we'll known as a Clement
man, has been induced to be a candi-
date for reelection, and it is believed
that Judge Buffers withdrawal has
been brought about in order that the
anti Clement forces can unite for Mr.
Carpenter and against Senator
Noyes.

Boys Set Fire to Brush in Woods Back Of !. S.
Moons.

The fire department was called out
Saturday afternoon to battle with the
flames which had gained considerable
headway in the woods back of l. S.
Noon property on East Main ST. The
fire was set by boys and spread with
such rapidity toward several buildings
that it required very active work on
the part of the fireman to prevent their
obstruction, this was accomplished
however, and very little damage was
done.
1t became necessary at times to break
and make connections in the line of
hose, for the purpose of supplying ad-
ditional lengths, this was done without
closing the hydrant, by using the new
Snyder shut off that is here on trial.

GAME DID NOT SUFFER.
Reports That Cold Weather Was Fatal are not
True.

lTue.
H. G. Thomas, of Stowe, state fish
and game commissioner, makes a de-
nial OF the reports that have been in
circulation through the newspapers OF
the state that any Vermont game birds
have died of exposure during the win
ter.
When these rumors 6rst came out
Mr. Thomas made inquiries in every
county in the state, and the reports
that have come to him show that both
the deer and game birds have winter
ed in excellent shape and have come
out in good condition. In particular he
received a report from one section
where the deer have previously had a
hard time, and he has received as
surance that they we're never as well
after the winter season.
While the deer may have had a
hard time in the Adirondacks, Mr.
Thomas does not think that they suf-
fered much in Vermont. Mr. Thomas
is pleased with the reports of the Rut-
land case and thinks well of Judge
Munson's decision that huntsmen must
see the horns and believes it will do
away with the excuse put out by
some irresponsible huntsmen.
