Burglar Escaped Through window

]. Z. Burke superintendent Of the Cooper
manufacturing company at Bennington, while
seated in his sitting room about i o'clock
Sunday morning thought he heard an I'M
usual noise in the rear OF the house. He
went into the kitchen, turned on the electric
light and discovered man behind door
leading upstairs. Mr.. Burke asked him
what he was doing there, but received no
answer. He was a slender.buit fellow who
had on no shoes or stockings. His linen
trousers were turned up over his knees, his
shirt sleeves were also rolled up. Burke
had no weapon with him and although he
has quite reputation as an athlete did not
want to clinch with the man, who kept his
right hand continually behind him. While
Burke was maneuvering for position the
burglar jumped through the window at
which he entered and made his escape.
Mr.. Burke cannot recall ever having seen
him before. Saturday was pay day at the
mill and it is thought the fellow expected to
find money. This is the third house that
has been entered within 10 days and at
tempts have been made to enter three 9TH
ers. The village is in thorough state of
excitement,

During the trip the propeller, which was

found that we were able to go either to the

completely around. About Q o'clock last
night the wind gave out, and so we made
preparations for descent This we did
successfully. We reached Breemervile, N

o clock this morning we again assembled,
reaching altitude of 10000 feet l then
slept for an hour. When I awoke dscov.

ABOUT CONDEMNED BEEF.
Elisha Mays Interview With Secre-
tary of Cattle Commission.

|, Elisha May, say that on the morn
ing of August 20 | met Mr.. Geo. ii. Ter
rill of Morrisville at his home and there
had an interview with him in respect
to the mode of disposing of cattle al
legged to be afflicted with tuberculosis.
He gave me blank such as was usually
signed by the person applying for ex-
animation This blank, he said, was
signed usually by the applicant. The
order was then sent to the veterinary
surgeon nearest the place where the cat
tie were This surgeon made the proper
test and then made out report III the
cattle were found to be afflicted with
the disease, the veterinary marked on
the hip of the cattle in the hair num-
Der and the number was put on the
blank sheet to correspond. The result
of the test was then marked in the re-
port in writing by the surgeon. Then,
later the value of the stock was liked.
The cattle thus condemned were then
turned over to some drover who shipped
the stock. What became of 1T after
wards he did not know only he supposed
it was killed. He said he did not know
that any return was made by this dro-
yer of each head by itself but check
was sent later from the company that
took the stock.
| asked him who paid the freight and
the commission and he said he did not
know only he supposed it was taken
out of the purchase price of the stock.
He showed me some checks which he
had received from the Rendering COM
pany which were payable to the order
of DR.. Rich. These he said he sent to
Mr. Bacon, state treasurer, and showed
to me a receipt from Mr.. Bacon.
He said the cattle commission, as far
as he knew, had nothing to do with the
carcasses of the cattle thus sent by
them.
| asked him what sum had been re-
ceived by him for the stock condemned
since he became secretary on January
last. and he said "Not far from five
thousand dollars.
He said he was unable to give me the
information about four punches of
stock sent from the neighborhood of st.
Johnsbury, but would send to me later;
that the books were then at Morrlsvllie
village in charge of the girl who was
then making up the report.
l asked Mr.. Terrill if he thought the
present method was as good as the OLD
method by which the stock was killed
and buried in the presence of the com
missioners, and he said he did not. He
said the new law made it easier during
the winter, as it was difficult to buy
cattle in the winter time. He said he
did not think it quite right that any
condemned cattle should be used as
food.
This I am ready to verify by oath in
any aproper proceedings.

Condemned Cattle Sorted and Graded.

I, W. G. White, of Richmond, in the
county of Chittenden and state of Yer
mont, say: "That in politics l am
republican. That in October, 1905, my
herd of cows were tested by the cattle
commission of the state of Vermont for
tuberculosis; that 81 were found in
fected with that disease and ordered
killed by the commission. They were
appraised and / was paid eighty per
cent. of the appraised value in accord
ance with the laws of the state of Yer
mont. These 81 cattle were driven to
the cattle yards at Richmond station
under the direction and authority Of the
cattle commission; that l, in company
with some of my neighbors, went to
Richmond and saw said cattle and
others numbering 1873 belonging to M.
s. Whitcomb of Richmond that had
been condemned as infected with tuber-
culosis by the commission and then in
said cattle yard, sorted and graded.
Not understanding why the con-
demned cattle should be so graded, it
was arranged that my son, Charles

unsavory and Disturbing Revelation.
[North Adams Transcript. ]

An unsavory and disturbing revelation
comes from Vermont, where the meat of
cattle condemned by the state as suffering
with tuberculosis has been sold to beef
company by the state with the knowledge
that it was to be placed on the market and
sold for food. OF all the transactions dis
closed in connection with the recent meat
scandals there was none more repulsiye or
seemingly more criminal. And when it is
remembered that the wrong doing in those
cases was by packing firms anxious for ev-
cry dollar that could be extracted from the
business while this is the work of the state
Of Vermont 1t is enough to make man
blush for his country.
The facts in this nauseating business were
brought out by P. E. Pope prominent
merchant of Montpelier He had heard that
the state had been selling meat from the
carcasses of cattle that had been condemned
as tuberculous, killed and paid for by the
state and he proceeded to investigate. He
interviewed the state auditor, who admitted
the truth of the report, but said that none
of the meat had been placed ON the market
till it had been inspected by veterinarians,
who pronounced il mot so badly diseased
but that it could be cooked and eaten with
safety The auditor said it was claimed
that the flesh of tuberculous cow whose
milk would not be fit for use might be eaten
with safety
What an illustration is this of the beau
ties of inspection Cattle inspected, con-
demned and slaughtered by the state as dis
eased and then the meat inspected, pro-
nounced wholesome and placed on the mar
ket.
The story seems too incredible for be-
lief, but Mr.. Pope makes affidavit in which
he swears to its truth. 1t is most as
founding revelation and one that brings deep
disgrace on the Vermont officials guilty OF
such culpable action Mr.. Pope deserves
the thanks of Vermont and the country for
exposing the scandalous crime and if there
is not speedy reform the Green Mountain
state is far from being such commonwealth
as it has been supposed to be.
