day afternoon after hunt of three days.
While working for Mr.. Nelson he was
known as George Baker. After being
there three weeks he ran away, taking
Mr. Nelson's rifle and other articles. He
wore a corduroy coat and a black cap.
Mr.. Nelson and Deputy Sheriff Wellman
told Chief Police Hall that the young
man had been seen in Brattleboro but
Mr.. Hall learned that another young man
with a gun was the one thought to be
Baker 1t was found that he had gone
to Massachusetts and nothing further
was heard until early this week, when
Chief-of Police Hall was called up by
telephone from Keene and told that
man answering the description which was
sent to various officers at the time of
Bakers disappearance had thrown the
citizens of Petersham, Mass, into tur
MOL and had been traced to Keene.
Chief Hall gave some additional infor
nation about Baker to the Keene and
Petersham officers and told them he was
satisfied that they were on the right
track. On Tuesday afternoon Mr., Hall
was notified by officers in Bellows Falls
that Baker had been caught.

which essential particulars the home
players seemed to be lacking Moreover
the visitors were more powerfully built
including Woods and Morrissey, who are
remembered as bucky' foot ball players on
the local field, and two of them, O'Brien
and Vice, have made a reputation in the
professional game. 1t was not surprising
therefore, that the visitors carried off the
victory 1919. The Independents put up
a fast game, however, and were able to
out score their opponents in the closing
half The game was so strenuous that
some mistook the hard playing for rough
ness and began to hiss, but In this showed
poor judgment Referee Charles Stote
Immediately put a stop to the Kissing,
and throughout the game he showed nm
self to be an excellent official.
At the very opening of the game n

to cage the ball in less than five seconds

locals were up against a hard proposition.
