RIeAMIsT HAS A DOUBLE.
and Description as Bennington Fugl-
tIVe-officers Visited Him Monday.


tIVe-Otficers Visited Him Monday.
The similarity between Brattleboro
mans name and description and that of
a resident of Bennington nearly threw
the person here into trouble this week
Lewis Baxter belongs in Bennington.
He is wanted for having more wives than
the statute allows Lewis Watson Baxter
is a legal resident of Brattleboro. He is
employed in the White River chair fac
tory, connected with the Brattleboro
Cabinet company's factory on Vernon
street. Lewis Baxter of Brattleboro
formerly lived in Dover, N. II. He is 81
years old. He and Miss Florence Hattie
Crittenden of Montague, Mass, were
married in Brattleboro by Rev. Frank L.
Masseck Jan. s. Their marriage notice
was published in the Brattleboro papers
and was read by Policeman William
Warren, who had seen in a Boston paper
a day or two earlier a notice of divorce
proceedings between Lewis Baxter of
Bennington and his first wife. He called
up Sheriff II. S. Wilson of Arlington, as
any good officer would do, and secured a
description of the man wanted in Ben
nington. 1t tailed exactly with the de-
scription of the Brattleboro Baxter.
Sheriff Wilson said it would be better
not to make an arrest and that he and an
officer who could make a positive iden-
tification would come to Brattleboro Mon
day of this week. They arrived on the
22S train. Sheriff Wilson being accom-
panied by Policeman James II. Kelly of
Bennington. Policeman Warren met them
at the railroad station and the three
officers went in a carriage to the factory
with every expectation of making a good
capture.
Although Policeman Kelly was impress
sed with the similarity between the two
men he said in an undertone Immediately
on seeing Baxter: He isn't the man"
Nevertheless the officers asked a number
of questions, which Baxter answered
freely and fully TO their entire salts
faction. He even urged them TO continue
the inquiry and said that if ever his
double was caught he would like the
privilege of meeting him face to face
Sheriff Wilson said Policeman Warren
did a good piece of work In locating a man
of the same name and description as the
one wanted and that such a similarity
would not be found in one case in a thou
sand.
Lewis Baxter of Bennington formerly
was employed in a hotel there. He
married a table girl about a year ago.
She found that he had a wife living
and trouble followed. Baxter left for
parts unknown, and his first wife Sc
cured a divorce a short time ago.

A STRENUOUS BATTLE.
Fall River Signal Corps Was Victorious,
but Was Hard Pushed by the Athletics
-ElIis's Fine Work.

-Ellls's Fine Work.
The Athletics inaccuracy in shooting
for goals alone cost them the victory
In the game with the Fall River Signal
Corps Monday night. Their team work
was of the gilt-edge brand and they had
many opportunities to score, but failed
to connect with the basket This is a
defect which has been particularly notice
able of late. The Signal Corps bunch was
a strong combination in both team and
basket work and 1t took superior block
ing to keep them from running up a big
score. Some of the best work in this
line was done by Long. The greatest en-
thusiasm shown on the local floor came
in the second half, toward the end of
the game. With the score % to II in
favor of Fan River Stafford scored, then
Davey, then Stafford again, the cheering
increasing in intensity with each goal
Ellis got possession of the ball and start
ed on what proved to be a phenomenal
trip. He laid several out on the floor,
jumped over two or three, avoided others
by ducking and in this way went about
two thirds around the hall, finally maxi
ing handsome pass to Davey, who
Gagged the ball and tied the score There
were bouquets and bouquets for Ellis, and
there was not a little recognition for

haps spend the evening.
Through Merger Influence.
While the party is to be made up
largely of capitalists who have no in
terests in the three cities, they are be-
ing brought out on their tour largely

italists who now own the public fran
chises in the three cities and are look
ing for investments. a number of the
more prominent of the street railway
and light men will accompany them.
1t need hardly be said that it is in
cumbent upon each of the three cities

Ors with the attractiveness and the adj
vantages of the locality. of the enter
prise and thrift of the people and of
the peculiar opportunities that are of
fered here for investments in factories
and other enterprises.
Rock Island To Entertain.
Rock Island may be relied upon to
do it's share in characteristic enter
tainment of the visitors, number of
citizens already having adopted the
initiative looking to joint movement
on the part of the Rock Island Club
and the Retail Merchants association
in entertaining the visitors.
