Leave His Address.

Essex Junction, April 1s.-George
Partlow left his home Tuesday evening
and his whereabouts are unknown to
his family. He went away from the
house early in the evening carrying d
small grip. He told his wife he was
to attend lodge meeting in Burling-
ton and might be back that night or
might not until morning. In some way
unbeknown to his family he had re-
moved all of his clothing, both winter
and summer.
Mr.. Partlow came to this place some
years ago and until this year was em-
ployed as electrician in charge Of the
Peoples Electric Light and Power com
pany's plant. Since the beginning Of
the year he has been employed by an
electric light company of Burlington.
He was well respected until within the
last two years or so since which time
his action with woman outside the
family have caused considerable COM
ment. Evidently he did not leave with

CLEMENT SETTLES
HIS ISLANDER SUIT
Pays $1,000 to "Spottere Wilson in
Famous Case Growing Out of Gu
bernatorial Campaign of 1902
Attorney PowelPs Statement.

Burlington, April 13.-P. w. Clement
candidate for governor Of Vermont three
years ago, has paid Samuel u. Wilson,
better known as 'Spotterp Wilson, ST.
600, and the now famed $4,000 suit
brought against Mr.. Clement for alleged
smirching of Wilson's reputation has
been settled out of court. NJ. L. Powell
attorney for the plaintiff in the suit
admitted yesterday that settlement had
been reached. The case has been tried
in the United States courts and was to
have been tried again in May. Attorney
Powell expressed himself as satisfied
saying:
He thought the settlement was a fair
one, based on the precedent established
when Mr. Clement paid Governor Wood
bury the same amount.
Continuing he said "The evidence
in hand in this case was such that
there could be no question this time as
to the utteranoe and the only question
for the determination OF the jury would
probably have been the question Of dam,
ages"
This case is one which has been wide
ly talked Of throughout the state ever
since it was brought. The plaintiff, Mr.
Wilson, was employed in Windsor coun.
ty when the old prohibitory law was
in force as detective to ferret out
violations Of the law. In the course
Of his work he shot and killed Edward
Goshea but was acquitted in court on
the ground Of self-defense. When Mr.
Clement began his campaign for the
governorship he laid great stress upon
the shooting incident. Mr.. Wilson al
legged that MIR. Clement called him a
murderer in his public addresses and
the slander suit was brought.

"Benv TilIman as He Is.

Julian Hawthorne in New York Ameri-
 can.
 He is so unlike the rest of them that his address to them gained thereby greatly in picturesque contrast. He is the natural man, planted strangely in the bleached garden of ultra propriety and fastidious culture. His roots are rugged, rank of the soil; his foliage rude as the branches of the cactus, and upon occasion not less prickly. His speech is unstudied, homely and plain; so denuded of every rhetorical artifice as to remind one, in that presence, of some naked, hairy man of the woods breaking into a satin-lined boudoir. There is no end to the similes which he suggests; so I will merely add that his speech recalled the evolutions of
