FROM "OLD IT,"
Two Slick Young Men from Across
the Lake Get into Jail.

Two young men named Alfred Hubert
and John White arrived at Middlebury
Monday evening with horse and buggy,
claiming to hail from "Old IT," as they
expressed it. After feeding their horse
they left, ostensibly for Vergennes, but
their whereabouts during the night are
not known to the public Their second
arrival in Middlebury was early Tues
day morning with their horse jaded and
hardly able to travel stopping every few
rods in the street. The driver, however,
piled the lash and the poor animal did
its best to get away from their cruel
treatment Mr.. G. A. Lyman, the ice
man, who is public officer, happened
to notice their proceedings and promptly
took possession of the horse and wagon
attached and telephoned Deputy Sheriff
Cobb, who was soon on the spot and
arrested the fellows on charge of cruel
ty to the animal they had been driving.
They were arraigned before Judge Foote
later and pleaded guilty to the charge.
The penalty of $15 each was inflicted,
and White not being able to pay took the
alternative of doing time in the Rutland
House of Correction. Later information
gives the owner of the horse and buggy
as Mr.. Smith, a Ticonderoga livery man,
who came for his property. Officer Ly-
man is entitled to credit for his prompt
ness, as there is to much liberty altogeth-
er to fellows like these culprits, whose
brutal propensities are expended on the
much nobler animal-the horse.

of interest to all Middlebury people as
it concerns one of her well known sons.
1t is biographical sketch accompanied
by a full page portrait of Prof. Samuel
Sheldon who has recently been appoint
ed president of American Institute of
Electrical Engineers. 1t speaks very
highly of his ability as a teacher and
author and lecturer. The following
is an extract:
1t is in connection with his popular
lectures that DIR. Sheldon has especially
brought himself before the public of
New York and Brooklyn. For a num-
Der of years he delivered courses on
electricity, magnetism and physics, both
before the Board of Education and the
Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences.
They were very well received.

No question Of more moment
has in years been brought before

the one of county division. 1t is
true we have had periodical scares
at each election time when the
subject has been preached but
there has been so little danger
previously that we have scarcely
troubled ourselves to be on the de
fensive. Bnt the case today is
more serious. A we'll organized
effort is being made by citizens in
two ends of the county to force
division upon the rest of us. This
we Of the central part will resist
most decidedly.
1t is evident that division was
not a preconceived scheme in the
minds of Punta Gorda politicians.
But the Wauchula delegation had
their plans well laid having been
for years jealous of Arcadia S
supremacy, they schemed with
wisdom and forethought. We
know what a temptation the
promise of holding a public office
is. 1t was a bold stroke OH their
part putting up for a candidate the
editor and at one swoop gathered
his newspaper and his brains to
work in behalf of division. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether with the
united force of Wauchula and
Punta Gorda votes, the division
candidate can be elected. And if
elected it further remains to be
seen whether he could influence
legislation to that end 1t is.
