SAYS License Vote Was Fraudulent


Claiming that the vote of the
town in favor of license was invalid,
Is voters of Middlesex have petit
toned the assistant judges of the
equity court not to appoint license
commissioners for that town
They allege that four men who
were residents OF Montpelier and
one who was o resident of Worces-
ter, voted at the town meeting in
Middlesex and that these five voted
''yes." The majority in favor of IL
cense was four.
The judges, after considering the
matter, decided to appoint commits
sioners as they are required to do
by the apparent vote, and that the
petitioners, if they persist in trying
to prevent the issue of licenses. must
proceed bv quo WarrantO.

A watch which was among the ar

1t is nearly impossible these days
for criminal to get 50 far away
from the place where he committed
the crime that justice cannot over
take him. This is borne out by the
recent arrest in California of the
young fellow who robbed a postoffice
in this state not long ago. It is well
that it is hard for the criminal to es-
cape; and it would be better yet if
all the would-be criminals were fully
aware of this fact.

LONDON. Jan. 19.,-The confer.
ences which have recently been 60
ing on between the Duke and
Duchess of Marlborough have re-
suited in an agreement by which
their affairs will be brought before
the courts and n separation will be
effected so as to avoid publicit
This was largely brought about
through the intervention of royalty
which is friendly to both sides, and
DESTROYS of averting public opinion
involving the ancient ducal house.
While the present status Of the
affair cannot be set forth officially
or authoratatively owing to nat
ural desire to avoid discussion, yet
the following, gathered from we'll
informed sources is believed to
embody the most essential features
of agreement. Through the inter-
vention of the Marquis of Lans-
| downe who Is the Duke of MARI
borough's uncle, the duchess has
been induced to take position faV-
orable to an adjustment. Accord
ing to the present agreement the
duke and duchess will live apart,
the duke retaining Blenheim Palace
entirely and continuing to enjoy the
100000 a year settled upon him
by the duchess family with the
custody of their two sons, for six
months each year and the control
of their education until they become
of age. 'sIIEA
Duchess Will Use Jewels.
On the other hand, the duchess
will enjoy the use of the Marlbor-
Dug family jewels and will have
precedence as a dukes wife with
the right to take her sons with
her to any part of the continent
during their holidays without inter-
fering with their studies after the
age of-fourteen.
1t Is also said that the agree
ment exacts that the boys shall
not be taken to America for an
extended period until they reach
| the age to choose place OF resi-
dence fo-- themselves.
Blenhe;m will not be closed as
at first intended, and the duke will
continue to live there instead of at
Woodstock house where he proposed
TO make his headquarters when he
| decided to let his ancestral home.
The duchess, however, has with
| drawn her collection of Sevres china,
books and bronze, antique furniture
and pictures by Lacette and Wat
| teuu which she took there at the
time of her marriage. Mrs. Oliver
H. P. Belmont who has been with
the duchess for the past five weeks,
has done her best to further an
understanding between her daughter
and the duke. She is still with
the former at Sunderland house,
whore Oliver Fl. P. Belmont is also
staying.

house. He noticed also the
goods were right in his line ard
the same he had carried III his

approached the farmer and said:

have any bargains, why didn't
you have them put in the paper
so we can see where they are?"
They ended the argument and
the merchant went up to corral
other merchants who never adj

the mail order house was ruining
their business.-Ex.
