most of Bellows Falls citizens that the
appointment Of Gen. n G.. Williams as
chairman of the legislative committee

ed Under special act OF the legisla-
ture passed November 16, 1896 a special
committee was then authorized to investi-
gate the management of the prison and
Hon. William Henry of Bellows Falls,

district, was made the chairman. The

Sharon.
The game of foot ball Saturday between
Bellows Falls high school and the Clare
mont team did not come off as expected.
Late Friday afternoon the Claremonts tel
ephoned their withdrawal from the game
giving as a reason they were not up in
their studies so the school authorities
would allow them to play. Much disap-
pointment was expressed as the local
team had not been scored against during
the season, and the Claremont team was
a strong one which they hoped to van
quish. A game was made up with a
team known as the Windsor Locals how
ever for Saturday afternoon, and 1t was
played at Barber park at the time ap-
pointed. The score 16 to 5, in favor of
the Bellows Falls boys, is given else
where.
