trustees named in the Col. Austine Will:
Gentlemen:-From careful investiga-
ton among the voters of the town this
board Is convinced that the citizens Of
Brattleboro do not wish established in
Brattleboro a tuberculosis sanatorium
with the funds left to the town by Col
onel Austine. II necessary, this senti-
ment can and will be determined by a
special or annual town meeting or by
return postal cards sent to each voter in
town. This board does not believe that
your trustees wish to establish any hos
pital here that majority, or even a
minority of your fellow citizens do not
want neither do we believe this to be
the desire of the late Colonel Austine.
The construction Of the will leaves 1t
possible for the board to establish a hos
pital at the Home for the Aged and
Disabled, a maternity hospital, or a hos
pltal for some such purpose A very
great number of the citizens of Brattle-
horo have assured us that they are very
much In favor of the hospital at the
Home for the Aged and Disabled and
believe that the late Colonel Austne
himself an old and lonely man, would
approve most highly of this use of his
money.
A question having arisen as to whether
the town or trustees under the will shall

Gas Light Company and Street Railroad
Sold

All but 20 shares of the Brattleboro
Gas Light company stock has been de-
posted for sale to the New York syndi-
cate. OF the street railroad stock SIS
out of the 555 shares have been deposited
The sale of both properties is thus as
sured If the syndicate fulfils its obliga-
tions, as there is every reason to believe
that 1t will. Beyond this fact there are
no new developments except that the rep
resentative of the syndicate has renewed
his assurance that 1t is the purpose to
unite the two properties, using only one
power station for their operation and
to push for the extension of the electric
road to Hinsdale and Mortified II this
is possible, and. If not, then to Green
field by way of Bernardston. It is under
stood that the management will be taken
over about July LIST.

matter and Henry II. Ottens has
volunteered to assist the club in secur-

be located aim st directly opposite the
Hotel Ottens, adjoining the board walk
and will be fully 800 feet square, en-
closed by a corrugated iron fence. A
grand-stand and bleachers will be
erected, the work to he done by Mayor
Frank Smith. The team will be the
best pr%ocurable and it is proposed to
arrange a series of games with teams
who play a first class article of ball.

Widow of One Hero and Mother of
Another, She lis IA Real Patriot.
Mrs. John A. Logan has the coura-
geous spirit which made her husband,
the late General Logan, one of the
most idolized heroes of the civil war.
For many years Mrs. Logan has been
conspicuous in patriotic work. In pur-
suance of her labors in the field of pa
triOtic education she was scheduled to
deliver a lecture at the State Normal
school in West Chester, Pa. a short
time ago. Just before the time for the
address she slipped while descending
a stairway in the home of her host
and broke her left arm. The pain from
the fractured member was severe, but
remembering the example of bravery
set her by her husband she d~isregarded
physical discomfort and went upon the
platform just as if nothing had hap
pened to disturb her composure. She
was heartily cheered for her courage
when the facts became known.
Mrs. Logan was Miss Mary s. Gun
P~eterboro. Mo. She is the daughter Of
a soldier and the granddaughter of a
soldier. In the civil war her husband
battled for the Union cause. and some
of her brothers and uncles fought in
the blue. Others in the gray. When
