i'm building a Central Vermont railroad
bridge in Mortified. Mass. pounded each
other at the Brattleboro railroad station
Monday afternoon and furnished the peo-
pie who were waiting for the APO train
with entertainment of a highly sensation
al character. The transfer gang was
called out to corral the bridge builders.
and five of the combatants were lodged i'm
the lock-up by police officers. The snow
storm having caused a lull i'm bridge
building operations, the men came to
Brattleboro and proceeded to enjoy the
day by filling up with booze. When train
time came they possessed q rough-and-
ready spirit which found ample opportu-
nifty to manifest itself by an hours delay
i'm the arrival of the train. one of the
men made himself generally obnoxious
and at station Agent Burkc's request
Deputy Sheriff Knapp. who happened to
be at the station, asked him to keep quiet.
Soon aftcrward the men went into a pas
seuger car which was waiting on the
siding in front OF the depot and got into
a fight. Heads crashed through the car
windows. fists flew and epithets filed the
air Mr. Knapp decided not to try con-
illusions with them alone and went up
street after Constable Thayer Station
Agent Burke sent the transfer force out
to help the officers. but the men made no
resistance. Messrs. Knapp and Thaycr
made two trips to the lookup each taxi
ing man with him on each trip and one
was taken by Charles Taft of West Dunn
merston. one of the leaders i'm the dis
turbance ran down the track and those
who We're not arrested went out on the
train. The five who were arrested were
kept in the lock-up over night and on
Tuesday morning they were arraigned
before Justice w S. Newton on the
charge of disturbing the peace They all
pleaded guilty and were fined IS and
costs. amounting to s11.15 in four cases
and $l1.20 in one case. Some paid and
others had their fines paid for them by
two bridge men, who came from North
field for that purpose. Their names
were Lyman Briggs. William Simmons

Secretary state Board of Health.

The serious trouble which Brattleboro
had with diphthcria last year was due to
the fact that proper precautions were not
taken when the disease first appeared.
People who were afflicted only with a
mild form of diphthera associated freely
with other people before the nature pf
the disease was realized and thus the con .
talon spread.
The two cases to which DR.. Holton re-
fers came to the attention of DR. Ere
mont Hamilton. who. on examining Carl
Bracket and James Burger. two young
men employed at the railroad chute, or
dered both into quarantine to await the
report from Burlington. Bracket lives
in the water cure and Burger on Frost
place, and each had had a sore throat a
week or more. II is understood that
Brackett did not stay I'm confinement af-
ter he had seen the physician, but when
found by DIR. Waterman. the health Of
iicer. after the report on this case. his
throat was entirely cleared.
