Whatever may be the outcome OF the
county convention on next Tuesday, the
indications are that there will still be
war to be decided at the general
election in November.

litcal leaders of the West Side and the

have been averted, but peace IN this

Watertown delegates will combine with
West Side delegates to insure his noml-
nation. This means the turning down
Of Mr.. Barnard, who in that event, will
be an Independent candidate for the
position.
The success Of w. s. Glass as a can
didate for the lower house OF the legls-
lature also augurs fractional fight. Mr..
Glass's plurality was so large that he
will doubtless be allowed to walk away
with the nomination in the convention
but his election will be contested in
November.

SKILLED MEN IN DEMAND

=, Pittsburg, Sept. Skilled men are
having wages advanced without the
asking because Of the great demand for
labor. There has been never such a scar
city Of mill workers as at present.
Scores of skilled men are shifting from
one plant to another because Of the
offer Of high wages until the feeling
exists that general advance will be or
dered by some of the big concerns to
hold their men. One plant after anoth-
er is being crippled by the fact that the
men are being taken away by the new

RECORD SMASHING
BY HECTOR DUBUC
Former Montpelier Man Is Showing Con.
necticut Men How to Bowl--He
Makes Single Strings Of $50
Pins.

Hector a. Dubuc, formerly Of Mont
pelier, has Just smashed the bowling
records of Connecticut while rolling on
alleys at Waterbury, that state. He
broke the single string record by making
300, just ten short of perfect score
and the three string total Of 664, bet.
tering the previous record by 20 pins
Besides that, Dubuc and his bowling
partner, A. Gross, made the two-teaIn
record mark Of 1926, better by 6s points
than the previous mark.
The Waterbury Republican says Of the
performance.
After making $50 and fs5 he went in
the last game and rolled up score Of
200. Dubuc got his big score by making
spare in the first frame and then going
through the rest OF the game without
break, making a strike each time
eleven in all. Had he made strike in
the first frame be would, of course
have got perfect score Of 300.
What makes Dubuo's feat all the more
phenomenal is the fact that be is Grip
Piled. His score far surpasses anything
ever put up in this city and it is doubt
ful whether any bowler In the state has
gone beyond that mark. To bowl a
200 score is no easy matter, for when
man gets to making strike after strike
his nerves arc under such a strain that
he is likely at any time to make q
break" 8 large crowd saw Dubuc put
up the score. The best previous mark
for singe string was 27s, made by
Itsehner on the Casino alleys some time
ago, The best previous record in the
two-men tourney was put up by Mid
dleton. His mark was PA.
Not only did Dubuc break the single
string record, but the three.string as
well. His total for the three strings
was e6i, which is 20 pins better than
the best previous score of GA, which
was recently made by Frank Beardsley.
And still another record was smashed
to smithereens--the high team total Of
the tournament and perhaps, also, OF
the state.

that he left Boston Marchsl5, 1905, and
went to West Thornton to reside with
Walter Hoffman in Woodstock wnere lie

AFTER
MAN WAS HURT
Bridge Gang at Montpeliei
Don't Like Boss
UNNERVED BY ACCIDENT
James Hardy Fell 40 Feet from Frame
work Of Central Vermont Bridge
to the Ice In the Wor-
cester Branch,

James Hardy, employed on the bridge
bridge on the Central Vermont railroad,
just of Main street in Montpelier, was
perhaps fatally hurt today by falling
from the bridge to the ice in the Wor.
cester branch, forty feet below. As the
result Of being unneryed BY the acci-
dent and because they claim that one
Of the bosses drove them too hard, the
remainder of the bridge workmen struck
soon afterwards.
The accident happened between ten
and eleven o'clock. Hardy was up on
the framework, saving of a piece OF
timber. In some way he stepped on
the sawed piece and was precipitated
through the framework to the track
of an improved railway used IN carting
material. From that his body was
loosened and went down to the river.
When picked up by his companions be
was bleeding badly, both from the mouth
and from two gashcs in the head, one in
the back Of the head and the other
from the temple down the cheek. An
ambulance was called and the injured
man was taken 10 the Heaton hospital;
where an operation was at once per-
formed,
He was just coming out of the effects
Of the ether this afternoon, and it was
possible to say whether or not he would
recover. He is probably injured in
ternally.
This is the second accident to occur
on the construction of this bridge, a
man having been hit by heavy grder
few days ago SO that he had to be
taken to the hospital.

PALS WERE WAITING.
Believed They We're Trying to Aid Pris-
oners to Escape.

Portsmouth, N. H., March s.--Two
men supposed to be pals Of John Doe,
the unknown, and Joseph Gouin, now
confined at the local Jail on the charge
Of robbery at Dover and the killing of
the Italian on the train at Rockingham
Junction, February 10, were seen last
night shortly before 10 o'clock in the
jail yard.
Upon being discovered by Sheriff Col
lis who was on his way to the Jail, the
men started to run for the brick wall.
The sheriff shouted to them to stop and
fired three shots. One OF the unknown
men scaled the fence, but the other on
account OF heavy black coat which he
wore was delayed some in his efforts
to get on the other side. He finally
threw aside the coat and disappeared.
In the pockets were found a pair Of
driving gloves and two scent pieces.
One OF the men ran down Hollis street
and the other down State street. They
were seen by William Penney, who was
passing. II was thought by the police
that the men made for the lodging
houses on the water front and thor.
ough search Of them was made, but
without avail.
The authorities believe that the men
are members Of Does and Gouin's gang
and intended to aid the prisoners in
making their escape from Jail.
