THREE SOLDIERS ARRESTED
Sent TO Work House aud Dis.
CHARGED from the Army.

Three soldiers from Fort Ethan Allen
walked into tho police station last even
ing and asked to be arrested. The men
were perfectly sober and the officers
there told them they could not be ar
rested for nothing. The men asked what
they would get II arrested for intoxication
and were informed ten days in the coun-
ty Jail. They said that they wanted to
do something that would be severe enough
to send them to the House of Correction
at Rutland. for then they could very
easily receive "bobtail' or dshonorable
discharge from the army. The police told
them to leave the station house and be-
have themselves. Instead the men went
out on Church street and there they
began fighting among themselves when
Offcer McGcttrck ordered them to stop.
The men refused and the policeman took
two of them by the arm and marched
them Ia the Jail. The third man did not
want to lose his chance for a 'bobtail"
and followed his companions and the Of
.icer. The three soldiers were placed in
the lock up They will nave a hearing
this morning for breach of the peace.

the weather. There of the girls have
never been in the Bcrkshires before. For
them it is especially delightful for us

with good retail trade. The demand for
