/ wanted by the state on the charge of
stealing a horse and carriage from How
ard & Yearly OF Brattleboro. Sheriff
Gunnison replied that Stanton was not
able to be moved. 1t win be remembered
that when Stanton was arrested several
weeks ago he took poison, apparently
with suicidal intent, but the dose was so
large that II acted as an emetic and
saved his life. Sheriff Gunnison said he

up hope of securing a settlement with
Stanton for their trouble. and doubtless
1t will be just as well for the state 20
