pers appear to be we'll pleased with

that the regiment come this way on
their march to Hoosick tomorrow
Col. Wallace who is at Fort Ethan

Col. Harmon. village president Coop

Bates left about one O'Clock for the
camp TO lay the matter before the
Commanding officer
The plan they will suggest is to have
the regiment march over the hill from
So. SALISBURY, to this village then
over up past the soldiers home to the
Elm street road then to Bennington
Center. and then out to the old turn
pike where it will be easy 10 reach
the camp in Hoosick for tomorrow.
The difference will not be very great
while the last road is much easier for
travel than the former. The march
today has been much easier and more
comfortable than that of the preceding
three days. The distance from Man.

A FAKE COLLECTOR
Unknown Woman Soliciting Money Under
False Pretensss.

Rutland, July ls.-It was learned
yesterday afternoon that an unknown
woman had been soliciting money from
people on Center street under the pre- .
tense that she was working to collect
money for the fund to bring a party OF
Tribune fresh air children from New
York city here In August. The amount
she asked for was usually small and II
Is thought that she collected but a
small amount. In some cases she
simply asked for money while on other
occasions she used the fresh air chill
dren excuse. One man to whom she
went noticed that she had been par
taking little too freely OF intoxIcat-
az liquor and refused TO give her aid
The discovery was made by the com.
mittee who are raising money for the
fresh air children. They happened 10
be working In the same territory and
when 1. was learned that others had
preceded them an investigation was
started, proving that the fake scheme
was being worked.
