for he city Of Montpelier, and the same
prisoner who advised the Barre police
60 clean the lice out Of their Jail, made

and today was removed from the nine
for characterization. Jim protested
against working on the ditch yesterday,
complained that be couldn't work on a
breakfast OF two cups Of coffee and q
doughnut and accused Governor Proc
tor for being responsible for his humil-
iating situation.
Sheriff Tracy refused to let Burke
play on the nine until he got more
omiable and locked him up in Jail today.
This made Burke all the modder.

and said Come on" But Jim had
another tired feeling Just then and
thought better OF It.

was that every prisoner they brought
down was afflicted with lice and brought
4 family Of the animals each He said
that the prisoners in the county Jail
would soon have To move out TO make
room for the pests. All he wanted of
the Barre police was to clean up.

COMPANY MAY LOSE
Al LARGE SURETY
American Fidelity Company Went Good
for slSl,5eo for George B. Spearin
of New York, Dry Dock Con-
StructOr.

Washington, D. c., June 12.-- Vermont
bonding company, the American Fidelity
company OF Montpelier, Is surety in the
amount of $751; for George B. Spear
in of New York, whose contract of dry
dock No. 4 at the Brooklyn navy yard
the government will in all probability
be obliged TO cancel The work on the
dock has been practically at standstill
for several months owing to the fact
that during last summer sewer con-
strueted by the contractor for the dry
dock under specifications furnished by
the government failed in its functions,
thereby adding materially to the diff
Guilty Of constructing the dry dock.
The original contract for the dry dock
was authorized by an act approved June
Z, 1900, which appropriated the sum Of
81 100000 for its construction Of granite
and concrete. The contract with Mr..
Spearin is dated February Z, 1905, and
involves work amounting to $757,so0.
The contractor has now been called On
to continue the work under the contract
and the matter will probably be settled
by the courts The contract called for
tile completion Of the dock in forty five
months or August Il 1908. In case Of
default the government looks first to
TIE contractor for the recovery Of the
loss or damage, and failing to secure it
from him, proceeds against the bonding
company.

Surrounding Loss Of Midship.
men and Sailors
FROM U.S.SHIP MINNESOTA
1t Is Believed That Their Launch While
Returning From Jamestown Was
Run Down BY a Steamer
and Sunk.

Washington, D. c., june i2.--The
mystery surrounding the loss of the
launch Of the Minnesota with midship-
men and sailors in Hampton Roads yes
terday has not yet been solved. There is
strong belief, however, that the boat was
run down BY steamer. The navy de-
partment has sent instructions to Ad-
miral Evans to make a thorough inyes-
tigation and report frequently By wire,
Evans has already convened a board Of
inquiry.
Because Of their youth and very re-
cent entrance into the naval service, the
Young officers who were lost were not
widely known outside Of the naval acad-
envy
ATidshipman Henry O. Murfn, Jr., was
native Of Ohio, and member Of the
second class at the naval academy. Phil
lip n. Field was a midshipman from Col
0rado, who belonged to the first class Of
the academy. Midshipnaan Walter g. u
rich, of the second class, and was from
Wisconsin. w Fl. Stevenson of North
Carolina was a member Of the second
class. Henry L. Holden Of Wisconsin
and f. II. Holeomb Of Delaware were
members OF the same class. Aiidship-
man e. P. Holcomb was assigned to the
Connecticut and il supposed to have
taken passage on the Minnesota's miss
ing launch. He was appointed to the
naval academy from Newcastle, Del.
The five enlisted men were R. H. Dot
son, seaman; H. L. Van Dorm and T. r.
Plumber, ordinary seamen; G. w. West
phal, fireman, first class; Jesse Conn
coxswain.
The general opinion is that with care
full management the launches could
weather almost any kind of a storm.
