MRS. BONE EXPLAINS
TO HER HUSBAND.
Says She Merely Patted the Duck on
the Back.


the Back.
Mrs. Fred C. Bone yesterday morn
ing explained to her husband, who is
incarcerated in the county Jail on the
charge Of forgery. that she did not
kick a duck off its nest at Thunder
bolt, as had been charged.
She claims, according TO the story
told her husband, that she merely went
to pat the duck on the back and it
flew off its nest and created all of
the excitement and the consequent
trouble.
Bone was apparently perfectly salts
fed with the explanation, judging by
the way he talked with parties about
the matter after his conversation with
his wife. Mrs. Bone is evidently as
devoted as ever TO Bone. She was
one of the early callers at the jail
yesterday.

BIGGEST TROUT
OF SEASON
This Years Record Broken by
Charlie Potter Yesterday.

Charlie Potter broke the 1904 trout
ing record yesterday. he also broke
a seven dollar pole, tore a hole in his
trousers and skinned one shin, but he
got the big trout (only one) and came
home wet and happy.
Owing to its being the busy season
at his furniture store and tin shop, he
could not go to Arlington aud fish the
Battenkill, so he went up above the
electric light station.
He hadn't been fishing five minutes
before he hooked a trout that pulled
like an eel with its tail around a root.
Mr. Potter labored with it in the same
persuasive way in which he sells re-
frigerators and finally coaxed it out
into shallow water and was just on the
point of landing his prize when his
foot slipped and he went kerplunk into
three feet of icy water.
This was when he broke his pole,
tore his trousers and skinned his shin,
and it is rumored that he said few
uncomplimentary words about things
in general and trout fishing in particu,
lar.
The trout made last mad rush and
got away, but instead OF scooting back
into the deeps it was so dazed that it
shot like an arrow out into shoal wat
er and just at the edge of the stream
struck smooth, slippery stone and
glanced off, bounding four feet out of
water and Is feet in distance over into
the bushes, where Charlie found it
when he broke off his language and
went after it,
The trout was II 1-2 inches in length
and weighed two pounds and II ounces,
1t is on exhibition at Mr. Potters fur
niture store where it may be seen by
all purchasers of goods to the amount
of one dollar or more who do not ask
for trading stamps.

Helen, the 10 year old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs George r. Mathers died
Tuesday afternoon after an operation
for APPENDICITIS performed Tuesday

ments before her death which came
suddenly, the attending physician
thought she was doing nicely.
She was in care of trained nurse
and her mother went into the room in
which the sick girl was, who seeing
her said sob mamma" and immedi-
ately breathed her last

quiet winning ways found a place for
her in the affections ofall her acquaint-
ances. The fair young life so suddenly
cut off will be long, deeply mourned
not only by her intimate friends and
associates, but by many older ones
who knew her well and loved her.
