Barnard Man Trioked.

Willis {. Woodland of Barnard has
just received a check for about $50,
the net results to him of about $3.50
worth Of maple syrup he sent in
April to one w. E. Barnes, Jr., who
was held out to him to be reliable
produce dealer in Providence, r. l.
Mr.. Woodward consents to have the
run uetalls published IN the cause OF
warning other farmers from falling
ing into the clutches of this kind of
sharpers who abound in the cities.
Mr.. Woodland sent his syrup in
two consignments, and after sending
the first he became little alarmed
and made inquiries through the r.
G. Dun agency and found out that
Barnes was a fraud. Mr.. Wood
ard succeeded in stopping his Sec
ond consignment before delivery,
but owing to the lateness Of the sea-
son had to take price much lower
than he could otherwise have OBJ
tanned. He has since learned that
the postal department got after
Barnes early in May and issued
"fraud order" against him, forbid
ding him the use Of the u. S. mails
and that Barnes is now lying in Jail
for year as the result Of some shady
transaction.

ground Thursday night, June ~.
They include a large two-story
house, ell, shed, horse barn and
large cattle barn, The loss is $4,000.
The fire spread rapidly, there be-
ing no place to arrest its progress
and in less than two hours the whole
set OF buildings were burned to the
ground. 1t was very still, and all
other buildings were saved although
it seemed at times that a house south
OF these buildings must burn. Mr..
Days house was large and accom-
modated a number of the normal
school students. More students
have roomed there for years than at
any other place and the house was
needed for such purposes. The loss
is partially covered by insurance.

two largest breaks were curious,
one was broken into the barn, the
other out. A calf tied in the man.

the calf was burned all around the
edge, the boards beside it were
burned and charred, and two hole:
