THEY CAUGHT
EN- ALL RIGHT

Hist Not so loud, someone might
hear, but this is straight; it amt no
fish story either. We caught $50 beau,
ties yesterday, and if you don't believe
it 60 to the windows of Jensen, King X
Byrd's hardware store, on Riverside
avenue and Washington street, and you
will see some of the finest trout that
ever laid in a basket" Such are the
statements passed around among the
friends of Hy Henry and Arthur Kulp.
"Tell you where we caught them
Not much Think we want to give the
snap away and have the whole town on
cur trail the next time we go angling
Go up to where ! told You and have a
look for yourself. Then go home, pre-
pare your line and tackle, get your
thinking cap on and the gray matter
to working. Oh, you'll catch 'em all
right if You know where to go. So

ter, residents of this city, having
heard that Robert A. Pinkerton was
in town, called to see him Sunday. He
was not in at the time and the old
soldier waited patiently in the lobby
for several hours until Pinkerton re-
turned. Pinkerton greeted the veteran
with the greatest warmth and they
chatted together for long time. The
old soldier had evidently seen better
days and this fact Pinkerton seemed
to appreciate. Before bidding his
guest farewell he walked to the
clerks desk and wrote out a check for
800 and compelled the old gentleman
to accept 1t.
Turning to the clerk as the veteran
walked away with his daughter Pink
erton explained that he had Just met
an old schoOlmate of 40 years ago,
whose "reminiscences of their boy
hood had given him the greatest
pleasure. He said not a word of his
little gift. That pleasure was his
own.

JUDGE HANF0RD
A HERO

Judge Hanford. who was caught in
the wreck of the Great Northern near
Leavenworth last Thursday in which
three men lost their lives, proved him
self to be a hero. He directed the
movements of the rescuers that drag
ged Engineer Croall and Fireman vii
son from beneath the engine. Fireman
Wilson was clasped in his arms when
he died.
Judge Hanford was on the rear of
the train when the wreck occurred.
He hurried from his car and the first
down to the rivers edge. To reach
the water it was necessary to form =
human rope. As soon as he reached
the engine off came his coat and he
went to work with might and main.
When Engineer Croak was taken
from the twisted pile Of steaming metal
he was passed from hand to hand up
the steep embaukment. Getting Fire
man Wilson out proved to be a more
difficult matter.
Judge Haniord is now holding court
in this city.

ESCAPED

Police officials today are of the opin-
ion that the pickpocket, who made the
daring escape from Officer Briley last
night, either went across the Post
street bridge or up Post street. When
the crook broke away from Briley he
ran along the Great Northern viaduct
until he came near Post street.
Detective Briley shot at the escaping
fugitive and as he staggered is of the
opinion that he hit him The pick
pocket jumped off the right hand side
of the viaduct down into the yards Of
the Sawmill Phoenix. The river runs
within few feet of the yards at this
point, and it was thought that the
wounded fugitive had rolled down
into the river. At the point where the
criminal jumped there is a platform
few feet below the viaduct.
Detective Weir went over the scene
this morning and, as there are no
marks on the ground, is of the opinion
that the fugitive jumped onto the via
duct and slid to the ground. 1t is about
20 feet from the viaduct to the ground
and if the fugitive had jumped or fallen
he would have left some mark on the
ground. 1t was an easv matter for the
fleeing criminal to escape if he reached
the ground in safety, as the yards are
dark.
j. 7. Clark, who was caught with
the fugitive in attempting to pick the
pockets of a farmer at the Great Nor
thern depot, will be held for trial.
The police heard this afternoon that
the pickpocket that escaped from OIL
Ger Briley last night and jumped from
the Great Northern viaduct near Post
street, caught car up Post street and
rode until he reached Main avenue. He
jumped off the car at this point and
disappeared down Main avenue, going

AS reported by the Coe Commission
company.

Addison County Court.

The case known as the Pond will case,
which was on trial when our report
closed last week, was brought to finish
Friday afternoon. The testimony was
closed in the middle of the forenoon on
Friday and the remainder of the fore
noon session was taken up with the
arguments of w. II. Davis of Middle
bury for the proponents of the will and
of James B. Donoway of Middlebury for
the contestants, Bion Wilson and his
brothers and sister. The arguments
were limited to an hour and half on a
side.
At the afternoon session, Frank L.
Fish of Vergennes closed for the contes-
tants and was followed by Thomas W.
Moloney of Rutland for the side uphold
ing the validity of the will. The pleas
to the jury were all spoken of in the
highest terms by those who were enti-
tied to pass judgment on such matters,
without regard to their opinions as to
which party to the litigation ought to
win. Judge Start took up about 20
minutes in giving the jury clear and
unmistakeable exposition of the law of
the case and at A 20 the jury retired to
consider their verdict, the court telling
them that if they agreed upon verdict
before o'clock that evening they would
come in at the sound of the bell. But
they didn't have to wait until o'clock,
as the bell was rung at just about 5
o'clock, at which time the jury came in
with verdict, saying that the will
offered by the proponents was the last
will and testament of Adelia G, Pond,
thus sustaining the contention of Judge
A. H. Hubbard. AS near as can now be
judged the amount left lby the will after
all debts are paid will be only something
like $500 or $500. The unpleasant and
untimely accident to Judge Hubbard,
the chief beneficiary of the will, is else
where reported
When the jury had been discharged
from this case, recess was taken to
Monday aftern oon at 2 o'clock.
At 2:30 Friday afternoon the grand
jury came in for the first time since they
went out to take up their work on Tues
day afternoon. They reported three
true bills and three bills not found
They submitted a written report, which
was not read in court, and upon the
written statement of their foreman,
Judge John +. Weeks of Middlebury
that they had completed their work they
were thereupon discharged for the term
and paid off by the clerk.
In their written report the grand jury
said that they found that all the towns
in the county had complied with the
statutes in regard to funds for school

purposes except the towns of Hancock,
Goshen and Granville. from which they
had received no definite information;
that they found that the laws relating to
United States deposit moneys had been
faithfully executed except by the three
towns above mentioned; that the public
cemeteries in the various towns had
been properly cared for as required by
law and finally the grand jury ratified
the action of the grand jury of 1908 in
regard to making suitable repairs and
improvements on the Jail.
When court re-convened it was at
q: 30 o'clock Monday afternoon, the
delay being due to negotiations for set
tlement in the case of E. o. Porter VS..
the town Of Cornwall, which was sched
uled for trial next. An agreement was
reached by the attorneys, Messrs. Cush-
man and Russell for DR.. Porter and
Judge Bliss for the defendant town, the
settlement being favorable to DIR. Porter.
This case has been on the docket for
nearly ten years and has been up to the
supreme court from time to time on law
points, but never came before a petit
jury. The plaintiff, it will be remem-
bered, was practicing physician in
Cornwall and something like dozen
number of the residents of that town on
orders from the board of selectmen under
authority of statute then existing.
The new board of selectmen declined to
carry out the contract, hence this suit.
The terms of settlement are kept private.
When this clse had been formally
sldetracked two other cases on the jury
list were gotten out of the way. These
were the cases of Ira H. LaFleur VS..
Asa Hemenway, appellant, which was
entered discontinued, and the case en-
titled: In re the Guardians account of
Josiah Cowles, Guardian of E. d. Hall.
insane, Frances N. Palmer, appellant,
which was referred to Hon. w. L. Bur-
nap of Burlington as commissioner.
The case of Arthur J. Allen VS.. Mary E.
Allen, petition for divorce which was
heard but not allowed at the last June
term, was entered discontinued and the
court at 2: 40 o'clock, after having been
in session just ten minutes took a recess
to o'clock Tuesday morning.
1t was after 10 o'clock when the
session opened Tuesday morning and the
second trial of the term was at once
begun. This case was Pearl Doty VS..
Charles w. Norton. Doty lives in
Starksboro and Norton belongs in Bris-
toll. 1t was claimed by Doty that in
January, 1897, Norton employed him
and his wife to take care of one Calista
Bennett, for whose support and care he
was legally bound, and who was old and
bedridden most of the time. The Dotys
did so care for her until she died in June,
1900. Doty received from Norton in ali
SlOl and tfen the payments from Norton
stopped and then the town of Bristol was
called on for help and supplied it, Nor
ton claimed that the funds of Mrs. Ben
nett which he had in his possession were
exhausted and refused to do more
Then Doty brought this suit to recover
$500, which the court at the beginnin e
of the trial allowed to be raised to $500.
