10 that town about ak months ago by
leaving her home, II was alleged, 10
elope with one "Happy" Miller, re-
turning home when their plans failed
to materialize, has at last been sue.
cessful, II is said, 10 getting away
with that cheerfully named individual.
Miller hired team 10 this village

Mrs Kilburn, aud they returned here
in time to catch the morning sleeper
for the north and made their way into
Canada. They have been traced across
the border.
Miller and Mrs Kilburn are each
about 80 years OF age, and the woman
is not particularly progressing. The
man has worked in the vicinity OF
Hubbardton more or less for two or
three years, and the couple have been
so closely associated that trouble has
resulted in the Kilburn family.
She has left good home, kind
husband and two children, and took
with her trunt full OF clothes and
about $40 In money.

From His Wife He Knows He Has Something Wrong Hasn't Any
Escaped SUfF0CATlON
Two Children Of Ms Henry 81 Mary Have
frlshtiul Experience.

'"shhu' tNPtIlthets
The two little daughters OF Mrs Hen.
ry 81 Mary narrowly escaped death
rom suffocatIon Wednesday. In the
afternoon Mrs ST Mary went into the
business section OF the village TO make
her purchases for the Thanksgiving
day thinner, leaving her two little
daughters, aged about I've and nine
years, at home. When she left she
told tho children to lock the door so
that they would not DO disturbed by
strangers.
Wien she returned 10 the house some
time later she found the door locked
and when she raped for admission
one OF the cAlldren answered, "we are
locked In the cupboard. Mrs st
Mary Mt last found an uniastened
window and made her way Into the
house. She at once opened the door
OF the small closet In which she keeps
her barrel OF aour and the Oldest girl
fell out upon the aoor unconscious.
The younger child still retained its
senses but was thoroughly exhausted
because OF fright and sufIocatIon. Tho
closet was small, just large enough for
the children to squeeze 10 beside the
-four barrel.
While playing about the house the
little ones had gone into the closet and
pulled the door together. Had Mrs st
Mary been absent for an hour longer
II Is doubtful II the children would
have survived the ordeal.

NEW RULES PROMULGATED
Judge Powers Announces Rules Of Practice in
County Court.

Iounty Nourt.
Montpelier, Nov. 28.-The legisla.
tive enactment establishing the new
state judiciary provides that the SUI
preme court judges and also the sup
erior judges shall promulgate rules of
practice and procedure for their own
respective courts.
In accordance with this provision
Judge Powers announced the following
rules from the bench during yesterday
mornings session of court.
The Washington county court will
convene Immediately after the Caledo-
MIA county court term closes. A plan
will then be followed by which many
cases set for trial will be transferred
to short calendar.
These cases will then be taken up in
regular order unless the counsel
should agree to have continuance or
the Judge is convinced of its necessity.
The rule will doubtless be to make
transfers to the short calendar on eacn
Saturday morning.
Notices for continuance of any case
on the short calendar must be made at
once by counsel and cause shown for
such continuance. Failure in this will
constitute cause for judgment.
No further appointments will be
made of masters of chancery at state
expense.
Bills of exceptions will hereafter be
required to be drawn with greater care.
This is intended to relieve the judges
of the work OF revision OF bills OF ex-
ceptions. Under the new law the su.
preme court aud superior judges are
also required to hear cases in chancery
and 1t is necessary to economize their
time and energy as much as possible
by avoiding work which should de.
yolve upon counsel. Further meas
ures will be subsequently taken to 40
complish this end.
Additional rules will be laid down,
it is expected, at an early date.

eleven but what they lacked 10 weight

NEST sportsmanlike spirit, there was
no unnecessary roughness and the
tackling was only hard enough 10 stop
the man with the ball. Considering
the condition OF the field, II speaks
we'll for the players OF both teams that
there we're no injuries.
There was considerable iumbllng,
which was more or less excus1ble,
considering the cold, but the mlsplays
only added 10 the interest OF the game.
The Bennington team made Its best
gains by means OF a tandem play. The
visitors would break II up by tacklIng
the runner from behind but not until
the ball had been advanced several
yards. In the first hall Bennington
scored touchdown by pushing the
big full back Hatton over the line aft.
err the ball had been advanced within
striking distance. Early II the second
hall Bennington scored another touch
down from which Holden kicked 4 goal

about three minutes TO play, st Mich

pretty play, more like basket ball than

FARMHOUSE
DESTROYED
W. J. Hicks House Burned
This Morning.
LOSS STANDARDIZATION
Fire Caught From a Chimney
Which Had Been Burning
Out.

Shortly after 2 O'Clock this morning
the roof OF the farm house OF w. ]
Hicks about two miles north OF the vii
lage was discovered to be on fire, nav.
Ing caught from burning chimney.
Earl Howard first discovered that the
house was burning, having been awak.
ened by the cracking OF the blazing
shingles.
The family was of once aroused but
II was ut once apparent that nothing
could be done TO save the building aud
the occupants OF the house and the
neighbors, who had assembled, at once
turned their attention to the work OF
taking out as much as possible OF the
contents. All the furniture on the
lower floor was removed and small
portion OF the contents OF the rooms
upstairs.
The flames did not communicate ~
the farms buildings other than tho
adjoining woodshed 10 which was the
winters supply OF wood but the Mouse
burned rapidly and before daylight
was reduced to heap OF ashes.
The house was large, we'll con-
structed dwelling. In had In recent
years been plumbed for bath room
with hot and cold water and only last
summer large piazza was added to
the structure.
The loss is between $500 and $1,000
and the chances are that with the
present price OF building material it
would require an expenditure OF the
latter amount TO replace the structure.
On that part OF the property destroyed
there was an insurance of about $500
in the Vermont Mutual of Montpelier.
