mcnt early Sunday mornlng When o
successful attempt was made 20 pat

The practice has been carried on Tor

Recently the president Of the club

wounded one In the leg.
With the assistance of two citizens
the warden followed the men for long
distance until they crossed the Deer
field river dam. Afterwards he and
Constable O. r. Buell. went 10 the
shanty in the woods occupied by the
Italians and found that they had de-
parted with all their belongings. II is
doubtful II they will be seen around
these parts again.
Members OF the club from the city do
not arrive here until about the first of
June and for the last few years they
have found a scarcity OF trout in vat
ers which have been stocked and where
the fish should be most abundant.
Although it was known that frequent
visits were made by poachers, evidence
against them was not obtainable.
The officer from Bennington appears
to have accomplished much, for time
at least, in the breaking up of the IL
legal practice

STILL A MYSTERY
Manchester Still Puzzled About Finding OF
Vim Flynn's Body.

WIN ighh Douls
Manchester, VT, May l5;-Since
the burial of the body of William
Flynn found in the river last Wednes-
day nothing has been discovered,
which in any way clears up the mys-
terry which surrounds his death. There
are many rumors ahoat as to his
Whereabouts between Sunday night
when he was last seen and the time
when he met his death for one of
those present at the inquest stated
that the condition of the valves of the
heart was indisputable proof that he
had not been dead more Than twenty
four hours when found.
One of the leading lawyers of the
town favors disinterring the body
which was placed in the potter's field
at Manchester Centre Thursday and
making more thorough examination
than was made with view to discov-
ering whether any poison or drug
had been administered. The murder
theory is the only one held by the ma
jority of the people of the town and
this is strengthened by the fact that
Beatty who had been Flynn's pail all
the time he had been here cannot be
found although every effort is being
made to do so.
1t has been learned that several
towns people were with Flynn Satur-
day night and some of them doubtless
are acquainted with the facts of the
case. Probably several will be called
on to testify.

Our aim for years has been
to better our chlldren's de-
partment and we believe not a
single season has passed that
we did not make at least some
improvement.
The assortment is probably
as large as in any store in the

able in the extreme. Cash
buying and selling makes a
bigger saving for you than you
would imagine.
There is one principle which
we never lose sight of, and
that is to buy only worthy

stroyed. 4 The whole structure Is
doomed. The entire loss will reach
$1.50O,oO0, while the official list of in
