Lie GOGdl uumUoE VI VOIcS CdSG WAS
I45.
At the business meeting in the after
noon E. H. Sellhorn presided.
The first matter which came up for
action at this session was the election
of road overseers for the ten districts
in the township, the result of which
was as follows: First district, Ed
Iiebarth; second, Albert Harmon;
third, George Thoma; fourth, Caleb
Pinkham; fifth, Frank Henschel, sixth,
Gustav Lueck; seventh, VIM. Sefeldt;
eighth, Scott Bruce; ninth, John g..
Sederstrom; tenth, George Bockoven.
The old story of the selection of a
poundmaster was then brought up,
and, after slight discussion, mo-
ton, and a vote, it fell through, the
vote determining that everyone could
be his own poundmaster if he felt that
way inclined.
The next thing in order was to
designate three conspicuous places in
the township at which to post public
notices. Upon motion it was decided
that the same places be utilized as
last year.
The supervisors report on the loca-
ton of guide posts was then read and
the question submitted whether these
guide posts be adequate for public
service. It was decided upon motion
that no extra guide posts were neces-
sary.
The financial report was read by
the clerk, Otto Henschel. It showed
every item of receipts and disburse-
ments of the various funds in clear
form and the report was, upon mo-
ton, accepted. A synopsis of the re-
port follows: ...

Boston, May 1s.-It il expected by
che state police that Jerry Hayes,
who is under arrest in Skowhegan, Me-,
charged with the murder of Miss Mabel
Page, will be released as soon as the
Judge of the Skowhegan court under
stands that Hayes is not a fugitive from
justice from Massachusetts. Somebody
deceived Sheriff Smith, the state detec-
tives think.
Hayes IS not wanted in Massachu-
setts for any crime, as far as we know
said Deputy Chief Neal, in charge of the
district police during the absence OF
Chief Shaw ON an investigation. He
surely is not accused here Of the murder
of Miss Page. Charles u Tucker, who
committed that murder, has been tried
convicted and sentenced, and we are
certainly not looking for Hayes or any.

eide"

Supreme Court Nullifics r. r.
Commissioners Order
in A DECISION TODAY
Rutland Railroad Not Given Sufficient
Chance in Hearing on Bennington
Accident in Which Two
Were Killed.

Before taking final adjournment to-
day the Vermont Supreme court handed
down two decisions in important eases
One declares that William McKenna, d
paroled prisoner froms the state prison
must serve the maximum sentence az
ter being returned to the institution,
because Of breach OF the parole, and
will get the adyant age Of the good
behavior" privilege. The other NULL
fled the ruling Of the Vermont railroad
commission which ordered the Rutland
railroad not to run their engines with
tenders first OH the Bennington branch
Of the Rutland. railroad.
The first case was brought on habcas
corpus action BY McSenna, who was
sentenced to the state prison for not
less than year and not more than
is months for larceny. After serving
the minimum sentence. McKenna was
released on parole. He violated the
parole and was returned 60 Windsor.
and the case was broguht to determine
the meaning of the law which says that
he must serve the remainder Of SEN
tence." The Supreme court holds that
Mckenna must remain in the state
prison the full Is months and will be
allowed the time off for good behavior.
In the railroad case the state COM
mission ruled, following the killing on
August IA Of Harris Lindsey and his
tiancee, Miss Evelyn p. Willing, by
their automobile being struck by Rut-
land railroad train near Bennington, that
the railroad must not run its trains
with the tender OF the engine ahead.
An appeal from this ruling was entered
and the case was argued in Supreme
court this week on the ground that the
railroad was not summoned before the
commission to defend the practice of
running tender first, and that it sup
posed the circumstances and not the
cause would be considered. II. II. Pow
ers, counsel for the railroad, argued that
sufficient time was not given for tho
preparation of the case, which was OPP
posed BY Attorney General Fits. The
latter stated that the railroad had d
Y provided for turning its engines on,
but that it apparently preferred TO run
them tender first.
The Supreme court sustained the rail
road and today declared the railroad
commissions order null and void. The
court adjourned the May term at 9:30
o'clock.
No decision was handed down in the
petition for d rearglment OF the citizen
ship case Of States Attorney jackson.
