The Woman's Missionary society OF the
Christian church held its annual rally in
the vestry OF the church last Thursday
evening. There were in attendance forty
bers OF the society and after plea
SAINT half hour at supper, the members
listened to very interes ing papers by Mrs.
Clark, who spoke on the work in Porto
Rico, and Mrs. Carrigan, who gave an
excellent review of the ork in Japan.
Miss Walsh read an able paper on the
customs and characteristics OF the Japan
csc that threw a happy light on people
much in favor. IL was The very good
fortune of the society TO have present
Miss Sprague, a missionary from India,
who started the sympathies of every soul
by her vivid description OF the work OF
missionaries in that blighted land. With
very telling effect she clothed herself ia
the robe Of the Indian woman and might
have won converts to the taste Of those
people as well as to their needs. The or
ganization OF a mission study class was
announced by the pastor. The outlook
for the society's work is very bright.
A Complicated Horse Case.
E. B. Ellis, president OF the f. b. Ellis
company Of Bethel, had horse which
showed suspicious symptoms OF CHAMBERS
and veterinary, DIR. Lewis Of Barre, was
called to examine the animal. While the
symptoms pointed TO CHAMBERS, the yeteri-
nary, at that stage OF the disease, could
not say but that the trouble might be due
to bad cold, and be ordered the horse
quarantined.
Accordingly, the beast was put into an
abandoned barn in a back pasture, and an
employe detailed to look after il. Some
time later the horse made it's way into the
pasture, joining one OF Henry X. Wings,
and the latter made complaint, as he
feared the contagion would reach his colts
across The dividing fence.
Mr.. Ellis told Mr.. Wing he might have
the horse killed and he would pay for the
killing Instead Of being put out OF the
way, however, the animal came into the
possession OF George Mudgett Of Brain
tree, and he brought against MIR. Ellis a
SUIT which was settled without the papers
being served.
Chief Of Police Abbott then complained
to the State Board OF Cattle Commission
ers, y hieh had the horse examined by the
veterinary, DIR. A. 3. Gay and the case was
this time found to be an advanced stage
Of CHAMBERS.
BY order OF the Bosrd, Mr.. Mudgett |
killed the horse and brought suit against /
II. y. Osha of Brsintree, with whom he |
traded for the horse. Now commenced a
general reswapping OF steeds, Mr.. Osha
going back to George Bacon Of Braintree |
Tor the horse he traded to him, and Mr.. /
Bacon turning to +. NJ. McCrillis, the
next in line.
MIR. McCrillis and Mr.. Bacon made
joint trip to Bethel to see Clayton Sand
ers, to whom the former had 10 look for
horse. and who at first refused TO settle.
Monday morning, Mr.. McCrillis sued for
his charger and in the afternoon had it in
his possession.
Mr.. Sanders, who started the continuous
chain Of horse trades, procured the ouble-
ome mass Of CHAMBERS from Bert Rogers
Of Bethel, and he, il is understood, claims
hat MIR. Wing told him the horse was too
good to be killed and TO dispose Of il.
Mr.. Wing is still to be heard from.
