Following an explosion caused BY
smutty wheat, a thresher belongin.
to Budd Nelson. of Wild Horse creek.
was burned to the ground on the
Peter Tachelli place yesterday after
noon.
AT the time of the explosion the ma
chine was just finishing a setting on
the Tachelli ranch and was running
in smutty wheat. About 4:SO an ex-
plosion occurred in the cylinder and
within a moment the separator was
ablaze. The machine then burned
fast and in a short time had burned
TO the ground, a large section of the
belt being also burned. There was no
water at hand with which to fight tb,.
fire, and those who saw the same saw
nothing could have been done any
way.
The machine burned was a station
airy steam thresher and had been used
Tor some time. 1t belonged to Budd
Nelson, son OF James Nelson. of Will
Horse, and was not insured. Mr.
Nelson has since purchased a. new
machine with which to continue his
run.
Barley Pile Burned.
Another fire which occurred on
wild Horse creek yesterday after.
noon destroyed a portion of a stack
Of barley belonging to William Duff
The barley had just been threshed d
and there were $50 sacks in the stack.
That which was not DESTROYED will
have to be resacked, as the sacks were
burned.
1t is not known just how the barley
caught fire, but it is thought to have
caught from ashes dropped from the
thresher engine which had left but q
short time before.

choppers FrIqh.enea by a Dob cal.

c. w. Barnes and some of his neigh
bors in Brookline have heard the bay
LYNX commonly called bob cat) scream
many times this winter, and have found
the animals tracks near farm buildings.
A bob cat which had been hanging around
a lumber camp in Athens some time,
was frightened out of it's hiding place
by the approach of a team with loud
sounding bells. The bob cat attempted to
disappear as soon as possible, and In so
doing jumped a winrow of brush and
landed among a party Of choppers, many
of whom were foreigners. The men
threw up their axes with a wild yell or
COUGAR and broke for camp. Their
appearance was amusing as they reached
the camp from all quarters OF the woods,
some hatless, others coatless, and all
fearful that the cougar" was in pur-
suit A year ago last fall c. w. Barnes
caught a bob cat which stretched feet
and inches in length The trapper
receives little reward for capturing these
animals The fur is coarse, so that the
peIt seldom brings more than 81, and
as there is no bounty on a lynx the
animals are said to be increasing rapidly
1t has been reported within a few months
that wolves have been seen In several
parts of Vermont NJ f. Barnes, former
iy of Athens, now of Brooiline, while
riding with his wife two years ago, Is

The sale OF Charles d. WhItalxer's
property on Grove street last week to
r.. " Gale was the preliminary step in
the establishment Of a hospital by the
Ut. 10. r. Lynch Hospital association
winch was Incorporated under the laws
OF New Hampshire a few weeks ago
Inc incorporators are Dr. p. r. Lynch
FRED c. Gale, Mrs. Fred C. Gale, Frank
n. Howard and Myron p. Davis. II was
the original plan of the promoters to bnv
the Melrose hotel property in West Brat
ueboro, but negotiations for its purchase
We're abandoned through a failure to
agree on terms
The Grove street house was formerly
occupied by w. e. Haskell, and previous
~ for term of years by George w. Nor
cross. The building will be renovated
thoroughly to suit the conveniences of
the hospital. 1t is planned to have
IL rooms where PATIENTS may be accom-
modated, an office and reception room
sterilizing room, operating room and small
dlspensary. An agent Is now in New
York buying suitable hospital equipment.
Miss Hubbard OF Greenfield, a competent
matron, has been engaged, and she viii
nave three nurses under her supervision
n Specldlty VIII De MADE OF abdominal
cases and only surgical cases will be ad-
mitted
1t is hoped to have the institution
which will be known as the Dr. E, r.
Lynch hospital--ready for opening April
10. Later a ward will be built on the
vacant lot adjoining the main building.
Myron p. Davis was the originator of the
Idea Of the Lynch hospital, and has been
instrumental in bringing the project into
definite form. He says he does not ex-
pect to be connected with the institution
in any capacity.
The promoters claim that the success
OF the institution Is assured by the num-
Der Of patients, over 400. which DR.. Lynch
has taken to the Farren hospital in Mon
tague. Mass, for operations in the past
two and one-half years It Is claimed
that an interesting question will arise as
to whether patients who come under the
provisions of the Thompson will can be
admitted to the Lynch hospital at the
expense of the Thompson fund Dr.
Lynch has not been admitted to practice
In the Brattleboro Memorial hospital. His
friends who are supporting him in the
present venture claim that whether he
can be excluded against the wishes of
those who are the beneflciaries of the hos
pital Is an open question. and that II the
DR.. e. R Lynch hospital cannot accept
patients and receive remuneration for
treating needle women, seamstresses and
shop girls, who are particularly speci-
fed in the Thompson will, 1t is likely that
those opposed to DIR. Lynch will be obliged
TO show cause for discrimination against
the new institution.

LONGER VALLEY FAIR
Exhibition Next September Will
Extend Over Three Days
Important Action Taken at the Ms.tlno
OF the Officials saturday-wIn Revive
Vaudeville Performance.


OF the Officials saturday-wIn Revive
Vaudeville Performance.
AT an important meeting of the exeou-
i've committee of the Valley Fair asso-
clation, held in the Brooks House satnr-
Gay night, 1t was voted to hold the newt
ialr three days instead Of two, and the
oates decided upon are Tuesday, Wednes-
Day and Thursday, Sept rs. 2e ana 81
1t was pointed out that nearly ali tbe
other large fairs in New England are
three days or more In length and that an
additional day Of the Valley Fair would
give much more satisfaction to the er-
hibitors and doubtless would nateriaII,,
increase the attendance without adding
mucn 10 the total cost. It was thought
worth while at least to make the experi
ment. Heretofore patrons OF the fair who
nave wanted to see the races have had
insufficient time to see all the exhibits
and for some time the exhibitors, particu-
larly OF stock, have been urging the
management to extend the show another
day.
The committee authorized the secretary
70 communicate with breeders throughout
New England with a view to securing
some stake races for the first day, each
owner to contribute a proportionate
amount toward the purse Whether
stake races are put on or not Il is expect-
eo- Chat tnere VIII be races every after
noon.
Another matter taken up was the oues-
ton OF having a vaudeville attraction.
There was no vaudeville at the last fair
and many people were disappointed. It
was plain that something besides an ex-
hibition Of stock was needed to interest
the patrons between the heats OF the
races The committee will provide some
kind Of entertainment at the next fair.
brr1s1x hat 4
be vaudeville or a track exhibition.
A revision Of the premium list also was
but no definite conclusion was
reached except that II was decided to
revise the list The committee also de-
cided to open the track and stables during
the summer to those who wish to use
them for training strings of horses 1t Is
hoped that this will revive local interest
In trotting horses which was so marked
a few years ago.

cious time to increase the interests in

DISTINGUISHING DsIInqusnts.

One of the evil effects OF the statute
disfranchising delinquent taxpayers at
town meeting Is seen in the practice
quite general in many cities and towns
Of buying the votes OF such delinquents
by paying their taxes for them just be-
for the election. Candidates for ONCE,
parties that want to control or persons
interested in the license vote are always
ready to square the tax bills in return
for the votes that will thereby be at
their command. It's disreputable prac-
tice, fostered and approved by an unwise
statute.
