Taken TO jail as a Matter OF Form,


The formaity Of locking prisoner in
jail before accepting bail was executed
Saturday afternoon IN the case of Z. A.
Norwood. indicted for statutory grand
larceny in connection with the funds in
his hands belonging to the Hannah Towns
estate of Bellows Falls. AS has been stated
in the Bellows Falls correspondence in
The P..0nix, Norwood who was guard
ian OF Mrs. Towns. was indicted by the
county court for the larceny of about
nae which he refused TO return 10 the
administrator of the estate after Mrs
Towns's death. The trouble arose over
a disagreement as to the right OF certain
persons TO demand the money Norwood
was brought East from Redlands, Calf
last week by Sheriff Arthur Thompson of
Bellows Falls and was brought TO Brat
tleboro Saturday by Sheriff Thompson to
give bail before Assistant Judge F. B.
Pier Of RawsOnvflle He made full res
titution TO the estate through a bank in
Redlands. whereupon Atty-Gen. C. c. Fits
recommended that bail be fixed at $1,000
TO secure NOrwood's appearance in county
court TO answer to the charge of grand
larceny. This was satisfactory to the
court and to Norwood's counsel. II. ID.
Ryder of Bellows Fails. Mr. Ryder said
that he and NJ. H. Ray and A. l. Field
of Bellows Falls, all OF whom were pres
emit were ready to become bondsmen but
Mr.. Fits called attention to a decision
showing that recognizance taken in a
case OF this kind would be void unless
the prisoner first be confined in jail. The
result was that Norwood, Sheriff Thomp-
son, Judge Pier and the bondsmen made
an automobile trip to Newfane, where
Norwood was locked in jail. Immediately
afterwards he was taken into the Jail Of
fice, where the bail papers were executed
and the prisoner was released.

hundreds OF loyal sons and daughters Of
the old high school living in Brattl, boro.
and particularly to the graduates OF the
last few years (for they have not broken
the ties that bind them to the town and
their enthusiasm Is the greater).
Greeting: why don't we have an Alumni

the desire Of a good many people in Brat

of the best in New England. An alumni
association is a source OF great strength
to any school. Now that the present
senior class has decided to take a trip
to Washington in the spring vacation ard
commencement week. why isn't IL pos
that night? A preliminary meeting could
be held in May and plans laid for per-
feeling such an organization as Is here

secretaries will take the trouble TO send

RUNNING SORES

Little Girls Obstinate Case Of
Eczema - instantaneous Relief
By Cuticura-LittIe Boys Hands

Of TOruring Sores - Grateful
Mother Says;
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

'In reply to your letter ! write you
my experience, and you are privileged
to use it as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by a
very prominent physician for an obsti-
Cuticura Remedies, and was 50 well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
AIN July Of this year little boy In
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were mass
Of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cutieura ONT
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are q valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where
it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.

Editor PhRuix:--
Dear Sir: Some discussion having arisen
as to the discharge Of E. r. Thayer. jan
itor Of the town house. IL is proper that
the citizens Of the town should be told
the facts.
When the new board Of selectmen was
first elected, not having been as citizens
satisfied with the manner in which Thayer
kept the town house. considering IT, in
fact. filthy. we called Thayer into the
selectmen's Office and. in a long talk.
notified him that he must do better or
lose his place: that we would give him a
chance and hire him from month to
month on probation. For a time, he did
better. Before I left for England this
year. I was obliged to speak to him sew
eral times about the dirty condition Of the
town building and on my return noticed
no Improvement and was informed there
had been none during the summer. In
fact. the present condition of the base
ment is very unsanitary and will need
thorough cleaning out. The board, ac-
cordingiy, voted to discharge him.
H z. Harris had been an applicant for
the position for a year should change
be made. He has been hired as janitor
to commence work November / and his
services will be retained only so long as
he Is a good and faithful janitor.
Last spring Mr.. Rowe applied for the
position. His application was considered
and it was decided not to secure his
services.
The selectmen are not using their Of
fee to pay political debJs. The chair
man Of the board himself was not pres
ent in this country during the recent ac-
tive campaign. Democrat or Republican,
they intend to treat all alike and to act
