some 'polItics.

Newspaper men were given slight sensation last night. In fact they were given a run for their money through a rumor which had gained considerable spread during the early afternoon and evening The rumor was that the Conner contingent here were prepared to make announcement of a full legislative ticket, all pledged to the candidacy of B. B. Conner and his platform. It was also stated that the ticket would be given out last night for publication.
 When there was sufficient evidence to give credence to the rumor there was a wild rush of news hunters to the offices of three or four of the recognized heads of the Conner ele- ment Disappointment met each of the anxious inquirera If there Is 3 ticket I know nothing of if as yet, was the stereotyped reply Of each one seen by The Advertiser correspondent.
 The name of prominent young attorney was mentioned yesterday ev- ening in connection with the senator ship but when investigation was made, d member of his firm denied emphatically that there was anything to the assertion Up to the present time, the only candidate for this office Is Max Hamburger. Jr., who already has endorsements, made through the press, by enough bona fide voters to give him the nomination, with noth- ing said as 10 the silent vote which has not given expression. Even a number of strong adherents of B. B. Conner have avowed their support to Mr, Hamburger, opposition or no oppo- sition.
 For the legislature, the following have been mentioned: A. g Lyons, F. O. Hoffman. J. H. Nerville and E. V. OConner Others, however, are being groomed and doubtless will announce during the week

But there is one thing about Montgomery fans, they are not going into mysteries and shouting that they will have gang of world-beaters TOT the 1906 aggregation. They are conservative people, these Montgomery lans, and while they are from the good old city of Montgomery, in the State or Alabama. instead of from Missouri or Kansas, Ike Durrett will have to able human beings if they did not hope and confidently expe.t that Durrett Will make of his 1906 Climbers combi- nation that will fight hard all the sea n IL Uncle Ike, however, and the Climbers will have to show the fans.

 The New Playing Grounds.
 When the work of building the plant at Athletic Park in February, 1903, was started. the biggest problem that had to bescontended with was the difli- culty in getting lumber, This will all be changed when the work of building the stands. at the new ball park is commenced as all the lumber necessary
 When the Highland Park ball grounds were torn down and cut up into building lots. Richard Tiliis, then owner of the Montgomery Street Rail- way, moved the grandstand and bleach- CTS to his Electric Park grounds. He built a1 complete baseball plant just this side of Electric Park. The stands and everything are there now. The Traction Company owns all of this property and when they begin the work of building the new srandstand the lumber in the grandstand and bleachers at Electric Park will be used. - Under the terms of the lease on the Athletie Park grounds, the Traction Company can begin tearing down the stands out there and use the lumber n the construction of the new stands. me contract gives them the right to remove or tear down the stands at Athletic Park within thirty days after vacating the lease. So 1t will be seen that there will certainly be no scarcity about getting Humber to build the new stands. stesF F,< ss'7 ~ The ground leased by the Traction Company embraces ten acres alto gether, six of which will be used for the baseball grounds.

however, until Jesse, urged by his jailers, confessed that just be- fore COlvin disappeared Stephen had uuarreled with him and struck him with a club or stone, fracturing his skull; he believed Colvin had been killed, but could not:say what had been done with the body. Then came the indictment, and then Stephen, urged by many influential persons that 1t would be best for him to make clean breast of the matter, wrote out long confession, telling of the quarrel in a pasture, of striking Colvin down with the hiding of the body and the final disposal of the bones in a river. The trial followed in October of 1919, was presided over by Judge Dudley Chase, and uncle of Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, and was held in the Congre- gational church at Bennington to accommodate the audience called out by the sensation. Aside from the con- fessions, a son of COlvin testified to seeing Stephen fell his father with a club, and a fellow-prisoner in the Jail told of Jesse's contiding in him the de- tails of the disposal of the bOdy-a story which Stephen corroborated. A verdict of murder in the first degree was brought in, and the boys were sentenced to be executed at Windsor, January 28, 1920. The Vermont Legis. lature commuted Jesse's sentence tC imprisonment for life, but by vote of 97 to 42 refused to abate Stephens sentence. Stephen then suggested both boys having finally pronounced their various confessions spurious an protested their innOcence-that an ad- vertisement for Colvin be put in the papers. His counsel accordingly in
 serted such a. notice in the Rutland Herald with the request that othel papers througout the United States copy it But papers were not numer.

THE HOME CIRCLE.
VERMONT MOST REMARKABLE
 MURDER.


The final disposal of Vermont's latest murder case recalls an earlier one of no similitude whatsoever, but so extra ordinary as to merit recollection at this time. It Is described by Russell W. Taft of Burlington in the December number of the Green Bag, legal publi- cation of Boston. Two brothers, Stephen and Jesse Boorn, having 8 neighborhood reputation as turbulent spirits, living in Manchester, Vt, were indicted in 1917 for the murder of Rus sell COlvin seven years before, or in 1872. Colvin had married a sister of the Boorn boys, and was weak of tn- more or less complete mental derange- ment. He would periodically absent himself from home and give no account of himself on returning. In May of 1912, he disappeared once more, and as months passed and he did not return, public inquiry of the Boorns regarding him finally gave way to suspicion, and some reckless remarks of the boys to the effect that Colvin was dead and had been put in warmer climate than Vermont, led on to whisperings of mur- der. These were strengthened by an uncle of the boys, who said that Colvin dreams and declared he had been mur- dured and buried in an old cellar hole Soon after barn on the BOOrn place was burned, and some bones were dug from the ruins which several physicians at first said were human bones, and later reversed the opinion. The two boys were thereupOn arrested for the | murder of Colvin.

THAT BLESSED KENTUCKY MULE.

Mule raising here is a big thing as money business. There are hundreds of them fed here every Fall and Win ter and shipped South. Some feeders feed as high as 300 CT 400 head. The mule has a great fondness for rough age; will eat any kind of 8 worthless weed or grass that no other kind of live stock will eat, and stay fat on such
 forage. As consequence, these mule feeders fatten the mule for market chiefly un sorghum and little grain of some kind. The mule eats very Cslowly and chews it's food we'll, which accounts for it's being easily kept and always well. People who will not take advice from these health hint writers as to thorough chewing of all victuals can get some pointers from the mule
 The mule is good property to have; no matter how little, or big, or ugly, young or old, is never a drag on the market. He brings into many home
