HORSES AND HORsEMEN.

Two pairs of horses owned in
Wallingford were sold in Rutland
recently at prices which would in
dictate that Vermont bred horses are
fully up to the standard. A pair of

five years old, being own brothers,
were sold by the Munson estate to
VIM. E. Beaman of Windsor f,r
$1,000. The colts were. sired by
Electioneer Rex, and weigh about
1880 pounds each. A Rutland
horseman has stated that they were
the finest pair of colts he has ever
seen. Mr.. Beaman also bought a
pair Of coach horses from A. A.
Leonard of Wallingford for $500.

Gently sold to New York parties the

Tysoe Farmer Challenges Vicinity

ySoo Farmer challenges Vicinity
Horsemen TO Match Races.
John North, Tyson farmer, has
challenged the Bellows Falls trot-
tiers, matching up his trotting doe
for mile heats on the ice at Echo
lake. North has broken the doe to
drive to sulky and hopes to do
mile in 2.Io or better.
North caught the animal year
ago but the game warden compelled
him to release it. The animal per-
sisted, however, in returning to the
house. In course of time the doe
attained its growth, became hard
ened, and North conceived the idea
Of breaking it to harness. The doe
has developed great speed. On a
level stretch it is said she has made a
mile in 2.2I, and as runner, her
natural gait, the animal has made
much better time, but North has
laboriously trained her for "A trot-
ter.

Banking by Mail.

Persons who have money to deposit
in savings banks and who wish to have
their money kept in Vermont to foster
Vermont enterprises and build up Yer
mont industries may send funds to the
Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co., Hyde Park, VT feeling fully
assured that every dollar will be loaned
In Vermont DepositOrs can remit
funds at banks risk If sent by check
or postal money order. Address either
the treasurer, O. A. Knight, or the pres
ident, @. s. Page, Hyde Park, vt.
The Hyde Park Bank holds the record
OF having never owned poor note
since its organization in January, 1880;
a fact which is easily accounted for
when 1t is considered that the loans are
all In Vermont and the security there
for where 1t can easily be examined
by banks officials. Absolutely safety
rather than the high rate of interest
that can be secured on western loans
is the first prerequisite demanded by
the Hyde Park Bank In making loans.

WINDSOR COUNTY COURT
DECEMBER TERM, 1904.

The case of Israel Balch VS.. Ben
jamin F. Whelden, an action to re
cover damages for alleged malicious
prosecution, was given to the jur,
last week Friday afternoon and I
verdict for plaintiff of $1,000 wa
returned.
The case of State yc. Fred Corey
charged with obtaining money un
der false pretences, was disposed Of
Saturday, the court ordering yer.
dict OF not guilty. The claim of the
prosecution was that June IS, al
Hartford, the respondent went ia
Romano A Spafford and borrowed
$28, giving as security chattel
mortgage on a certain sewing ma
chine. 1t turned out, 1t was claimed,
that the machine was in the possess
sion of the wife Of the respondent,
under conditional sale by which
the machine was to remain the prop
ertY of the Singer Sewing Ma chine
Co., until paid for, and the machine
was still unpaid for when the re-
spondent obtained the money of
Spafford. The respondent claimed
there was no valid lien on the ma
chine, and that he had right to
give mortgage on it, as he did.
States Attorney Charles Batchel-
der prosecuted and s. z. Sherwin
and E. r. Buck defended the re-
spondent.
The trial Of the case of Frank P.
Russ VS.. the Central Vermont Rail-
way Co. began Tuesday. The plain
tiff in March, 1903, was an engineer
in the employ Of the defendant COM
pany, and ran the engine on the
way freight train No. 81, from
White River Junction to Mortified
and return. About 7.3o o'clock the
morning of March IA, 1903, his train
was being made up and was on the
side track. Plaintiff was at work
on the lubricator of the engine, when
suddenly, it is claimed, an extra train
with engine No. $50 going north,
with orders to meet No. 81 at North
field, collided with the way freight.
The plaintiff, it is alleged, was
thrown on to the fire box and sus-
tanned severe injuries to his head and
face and his back was severely
wrenched. He has been unable, it
is said, to do much work that re-
quired physical effort since the acct
dent.
1t appears that the switch was
open for No. 81 to proceed on to the
main line, southwark bound. The
plaintiff claims the collision was the
result of the inexperience of Engi-
neer Covotte on No. $50.
The defendant claims that the col
lision resulted from the negligence
of some Of the crew Of train No. 81,
or some ether co-employe of the
plaintiff, and that therefore the de-
PENDANT company is not liable. The
plaintiffs attorneys are VIM. Batch
elder, Charles Batchelder and Frank
Plumley. The defendants attor-
neys are c. w. Writers, w. B. c.
Stickney, and c. S. Palmer.

ed without voting to install fire

a subject of many petitions and
much talk for year or two, but af-
ter all the din the voters weren't
quite ready to accept the proposition
made at the meeting.
G.. w. Marble presided gracefully,
but couldn't hurry up business until
every one had had his say.
The Gamewill Fire Alarm Co.,
through the trustees, submitted a
proposition recommending the use
of three bell strikers in the village,
this service to cost from $1,000 to
$500. One bell, the company adj
vised, would not give satisfactory
results.
Clerk j. S. Eaton thought that if a

done at such expense as would in
sure satisfactory service.

age.
g. F. Chapman thought there
should be annual sewerage extern
sions, and on his motion the trus-
tees were authorized to extend the
sewer system in moderate way, To-
eating the extensions where most
needed.
The trustees were instructed to
buy hose for flushing sewers and
filing water carts, so that it would
be unnecessary to use the fire hose
at any time.
1t was also voted that the hose
house hereafter be used for no pur-
pose except that Of the fire depart
ment, this action being intended
merely to prevent interference with
the fire apparatus.
