Adventures of a Halifax Man.

Wendell Houghton Of Halifax was fined
IS in the district court at Turner's Falls Fri
day on the charge Of drunkenness. He
claimed that at Greenfield he got into
crowd of "jolly good fellows after he had
sold horse for $50 He left that town
and went to Turner's Falls by trolley, ex-
pecting to make Lake Pleasant his destina'
ton. He was found near the Carnegie Ii.
brary in a helpless condition and afterward
claimed that he had been drugged and that
he had lost his money and that hop beer
was all that he drank. A search of his per-
son revealed two half-pint bottles of whisky
which were sealed. Houghton was allowed
an opportunity to go to Greenfield and find
relative who would pay his fine and re-
lease him from his obligations to the court.
Saturday he was again arraigned for drunk.

on a Main street lawn. He denied being
the same fellow picked up at Turner's Falls,
and Officer Ripley of that village was called
over to identity him. Mr.. Houghton quietly
left the prisoners dock as Officer Peabody
was telephoning from the clerks Office, and
was captured at Aliens Corner by Mr.. Pea.
body. Houghton said he was not the man
wanted but wished to know how much he
would get if he were the man. Judge Field
imposed sentence Of 40 days in the house
of correction, from which an appeal was
taken Unable to furnish sureties of 800,
he was committed.

CONTEST FOR TAX COLLECTOR.
A Number of Candidates In the Field
How Matter VIII Be- Settled.

There are numerous aspirants 10 the
office of tax.collector made vacant by
the death of Robert Il. Gordon. Among
those who have signihed their willing
ness TO take the Office are A. j. Currier,
@. L. Piper, W. c. Horton, w. A.
Shumway, +. +. Crown, Charles Cobb,
c. ]. Knapp, $. A. Daniels and IL. IL.
Hunter, Others are also said to be IN
the field. Whether the office will
he filed by appointment or election is
uncertain at present, The selectmen
had planned to meet with the bailitis
tomorrow morning and appoint man
to All out the unexpired term of Mr..
Gordon, the understanding being that
whoever the town and village officers
agreed upon would be elected for the
Incorporated school district at next
Tuesday school meeting. Last even
ing, however, a petition was in circu.
lation asking the sclectmen to call a
special town meeting for the purpose
of electing Mr. Gordon's successor. II
such a petition rightly drawn up is
presented the selectmen will have to act
according to its instructions. Section
29sS of the Vermont statutes says 'the
selectmen may Ill vacancy in any
town Office until an election is had,
and Section 29s7 provides that "the
town at special meeting may fill a
vacancy in any town office. y Accord.
ing to these statutes if the people of
the town objected to the man appoint
ed by the selectmen special town
meeting could be called and another
person elected in place of the APP
pointee.
While il seems the fairest way to
leave the settlement of the matter to
the voters of the town such a plan will
necessarily involve a deay of at least
10 DAYS, as this time is required for
giving notice of a special meeting. In
the meantime the work of making out
tax.bils would be delayed, and espe.
eially at this time of year the work
ought to 90 forward as rapidly as pos
sible. Some people have suggested
leaving the settlement to the voters at
the school meeting with the under
standing that the town and village Off
GERS shall appoint whoever is chosen
there, but there is objection to this plan
on the ground that the attendance at
the school meeting is likely TO be small.
The office of tax-colector for the town,
village and incorporated school district
is worth 5000 a year, and il is the con-
census of opinion that the man who
holds the position earns every cent he
gets,

ROBERT q. GORDON DEAD.
Death From Pneumonia Came at His
Home Wednesday Evening.

Robert Emmett Gordon, 6s, died at his
home on South Main street at 6.2O
Wednesday evening after an illness Of
little less than week with pneumonia,
He was taken with a severe chill early
last Friday morning and pneumonia de-
veloped Immediately. From the first his
condition was serious and on Wednes'
day morning il became evident that the
progress of the disease could not be
checked. The death Of Mr. Gordon
removes a wel.known figure from the
life of the community. He was a man
whose strong principles and strict integ
rity had put him in n position of high
est esteem, and the many friends he
had made during his II years as tax
collector for the town, village and in
corporated school district feel his death
with a sense of personal bereavement.
Mr. Gordon had strong convictions and
he always stood for what he believed
to be right. His honesty in all bust
ness dealing had given him many posi-
tons of trust, and these he invariably
