It will be noticed in the list of expendi-
lures that the First National bank is
charged with S5A4.SS from which they eX-
pect to realize something. The CONNER
cial club guaranteed $500 and have paid
but 81. 240, leaving a deficit of $3.50. While
the statement on the face does not show a
deficit, there is close to $1,000 in oItsSand-
ing bills which have not yet been settled.
When these bills are paid the committee
feel that they will be short about $1,000.
It is proposed by the executive commit
tee to raise this amount of money selling
shares of stock and there will be no as
sessment made on the stockholders In
the meantime the bills owed by the asso-
citation viii be paid even though it may
be necessary to borrow the money from
the bank to do so.

FIFTH CLASS LICENSES COUNT
In Determining the Number Granted
in Any Town or City.

Some would-be liquor license hold
ers will undoubtedly lose hope before
long, for it appears that less licenses
will be granted than usual Accord
ing to letter from Attorney General
Clarke c. Fits received recently by
States Attorney Robert A. Lawrence
of Rutland county and made public
Tuesday, the new law says that the
total number of authorized licenses
shall include those of the fifth class.
Attorney General Fits expresses
his opinion of the law as follows:
THE law of 1902 act No. 80, section
No. 10. expressly excluded licenses of
the fifth and sixth classes from the
which might be granted as
limited by section No. Is of the act.
This exception seems to have been
cut out in the draft of the law of 1904,
act No. lis, the whole subject being
covered by section No. is of the new
law. Said section No. Is of the new
law is clear and explicit in limiting
the number of authorized licenses and
does not in any way distinguish be-
tween licenses of the different classes,
or limit its provisions to any par
ticular class. 1t cannot be said to be
in any way. I think the
word license, as used in said section
No. is, includes licenses of the fifth
class, and that licenses of that class
must be counted in determining the
number which may be granted in any
.own or city,"

NOT OF INDIAN BLOOD.
WinhaI Johnsons Descendants of an
EnqIishman.

The Bennington Banner has aroused
note of protest from the scene of
the Johnson murder in Winhall by as
serting that the family which fur
nished both murderer and victim was
descended from the Indians Mrs.
Maranda S. Starks of Bondville thus
discusses the matter:
Your correspondent must have been
misinformed when he sent you a
horoscope of the Johnson brothers be-
ing descendants of the red men, or in
other words, Indians. Having known
them all my life from my earliest rec
objections / know it to be false in
every detail.
The great grandfather, Elisha john
son, came from England when the
country was newly settled, and lived
and brought up his family in Putney.
The grandfather, Joseph Johnson. set
tied in Jamaica and lived in that town
until he died and his sons all settled
around him. He was a well-to-do
farmer.
Solomon Johnson, father of the
boys, has lived for over 30 years in
this town of Winhall He has been Sc
lectman and generally honored. His
family has no Indian blood. The great
grandmother on the fathers side was
French and the grandmother was
Irish.
Fred Johnson's brothers We're all
respectable men or all in this town.
at least, except Fred, who, ] am will
ing to admit. has been a bad one
His crime of shooting his own broth
er has exceeded the. most barbarous
