BOY ON $500 LARK.
Took the Money from His Father and Appar-
emily Planned an Elopemsnt.

Montpelier, Jan 5.--Leo Pine, the 10.
year-old son of Joseph Pine and wife,
of this city, was today brought back
by Chief Mcmahon Of the local police
from Manchester, N. H where he went
on Wednesday after taking about $500
OF his fathers money and running
away. The boy was found in company
with Clinton Gabarell, former Mont
pelier boy, and was passing under the
assumed name of Stanley De Winter,
claiming to hail from North Carolina.
Since leaving home he had purchased
new clothes and a dress suit case
marked IS. d." and in his pockets
were found a handsome lady's gold
watch and SIG in money. He had with
him letters from girl named "Rose, +"
which indicate that the writer was
planning to meet him soon
Young Pine had enjoyed good
reputation, but it is evident from
trashy literature he had with him that
he had become ilnbued with ideas of
life of the Wild West order. He wore
rough rider hat when found and
denied that he was Pine until he saw
it was useless. His father and mother
are highly respected people of Mont
pelier

A FREAK CALF.
Animal Looks Like Cross Between Cali and

Ebert Solger of Bridgewater has a
COW that gave birth to a calf last week
that is certainly freak. It's body is
about the size of q calf that would
weigh about so pounds. But there its
likeness to calf ceases. The head is
shaped like bull dog, only the eyes
stand out on the side of the head more
than is natural with dog.
Its ears are short and rounded like a
cats ears, its legs are about Il inches
long, the hind ones being perfect but
the forward ones seem to be stiff at
the knee as 1t is unable to straighten
them out and has to go on its knees.
The tail is very short and from side
view the animal very much resembles
a lynx, only of course great deal
larger. 1t seems healthy and strong
and Mr. Solger says.he shall raise it If
possible.

Handwriting Expert in Page
Murder Trial.
POINTS TO TUCKER
Harold Page Testifies Regarding
a Conversation with the
Alleged Murderer.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. Two
points deemed important by them were
developed by counsel at the sessions of
the court which is trying Charles Lou
is Tucker on the charge of numbering
Miss Mabel Page.
One OF these was the statement by
Harold Page. the brother of the muir
dered woman, that he had been ac-
qualnted with Tucker for more than
six years and that the latter had called
twice at the Page home. the first time
at the invitation of the witness.
The other feature was the statement
of NJ. ID. Ewell a handwriting expert,
that the person who wrote the address
u. L. Morton, CharestOwn, Mass" on
q piece of paper found on the floor of
Miss Pages room after the murder,
was the person who filled out and
signed the sales slips alleged by the
government to have been made out by
Tucker while he was Il salesman for a
Boston firm of stationers
On the day following Miss Pages
funeral and fuckers examination by
the police Harold Page testified that
the defendant and he rode together in
train from Boston TO Auburndale
The witness testified that upon that
occasion Tucker seated himself beside
the witness and opened the conversa-
ton by saying, did you know that
they've had me in it?'
When cross examined Page would
not say positively that fuckers first
words to him did not contain an ex-
preston of sympathy.
While Page was on the stand Tucker
followed the testimony closely and at
times suggested questions to be asked
by his counsel.
During the course of the trial all of
the garments worn by Miss Page on
the day she met death were entered as
exhibits In the case. With the excep-
ton of the outer garments and the
shoes and stockings, every article bore
large crimson stains. A portion of a
skeleton was employed again to illus
trate the positions Of the wounds.
The witnesses included, in addition
to Harold Page and Expert Ewell,
Chief Vittum of the Weston police
force, Drs. II. b. Frost and Edward A.
Wood, who were called to the Page
house after the murder, and Undertake
err John w. Bruce, who in preparing
the body for burial discovered the stab

Genuine ShirkShire hit the
Town Last Night.
RAILROAD ALL BLOCKED
The Night Mail Trains Did Not
Reach Here until This
Afternoon.

o. The storm OF last nlghtwas the wors
that has visited this section in several
years and has practically stopped
business.
IT was not so much the amount of
snow that fell as the quantity was
small, but the gale which blew from
early last evening until after daylight
this morning was one OF the tiercest
ever experienced in Bennington.
The snow that came with it and the
snow that had fallen previously was
blown into drifts that rendered travel
impossible and stopped all trains and
trolley cars.
At one O'Clock this morning the
storm changed to rain and the deep
drifts were saturated with water max
ing them almost as solid as banks of
sand.
Even a small drift of this kind
would stop train and the train leav-
ing here at 1915 stuck in the snow
near S. B. Pixies and at II 80 today it
was still there with two more stalled
between here and North Bennington.
The wind last night was something
terrific. The company was obliged to
shut off the street lamps at $3.50 and
derkness, driving snow, broken limbs
from the shade trees flying in all di-
rections made the night fierce one to
be out in.
Many trees were blown down, win.
dows were smashed and the driving
rain forced its way into almost every
house.
The skylight of w. r. Whites pho.
tograph gallery was smashed and con-
siderable damage done.
The rural carriers started out as
usual but were unable to make their
complete rounds. The local carriers
made round this morning though the
only mail they had was that which
came last evening.
The main line trains, which were
delayed, are not yet running regular
ly.
The sidewalks and streets Lave been
mires OF slush all day and pedestrians
have had hard time.
Last evening and early this morning
women and children trying to face the
storm were repeatedly blown down.
A farmer living on the SALISBURY
road says tina last night was a calm
quiet evening in the village compared
with what it was out on the hills.
TIE egraph and telephone lines were
not much interfered with.

TOO BUSY FIGHTING.
Statement of Minister Takahira Does
Not ForeshadOw Peace.

Statemeut OF mtuIAter Takhhtru DOES
Not Foreshadow Peace.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Japan has
made no overtures for peace to Russia
directly or indirectly through the Unit
ed States or any other power. She
contemplates no such action and now
that Port Arthur has fallen proposes
to press the war in the north all the
more vigorously by reinforcing the
Japanese armies at Liaoyang with the
greater part Of the troops which have
been besieging Port Arthur.
This in brief represents the views
Of Mr.. Kogoro Takahra, the japanese
minister, who has recently resumed
charge Of the legation at Washington
after long illness at New York.
THE fall of Port Arthur" said the
minister, lis but step In the war
which Japan is waging for principle.
Certainly It is an important step, but
nothing could be further from the truth
than the assumption that because ia
pan has captured stronghold the fall
Of which has long been expected, the
Japanese government will now make
overtures for peace. Japan is too busy

Indignation meetings were held and
