BENNINGTON WON
FROM H00S|CK
FALLS
Local High School Too Much
For New Workers.
2 ToUcHDOWNS AND A GOAL
5ennineto Backs Had no Difficulty IN
Going Through Hoosick Line as
They Pleased.

The high school football team thor
oughly outclassed the Hoosick Falls
high school team in Saturday after
moons game on the athletic field and
won by score of II to O.. The figures
do not indicate the superiority of the
local team, for there was no time dur
ing the game when the Hoosick team
had ghost of show TO score. The
visitors did not once make their dis
lance and never had the ball in Ben
lnington's territory except for minute
or two following the kickoff.
The lines of both teams were light,
but that of Bennington proved far
more stable than that of Hoosick The
| New Workers offered but little re-
sistance to Thatcher the Bennington
fullback who went through the line
every time he was given the ball and
the two halfbacks, Denly and Wood,
had little difficulty In advancing the
ball through tackle and end.
Thatcher was the star of the game.
Against his weight and strength the
Hoosick line offered little resistance.
Without being assisted by much inter-
ference he went through the holes
opened for him by the tackles and
kept going until he had about half the
Hoosick team hanging to his legs.
Bennington scored one touchdown in
the first half and one in the second.
From the first Livingston kicked a
goal but on the second the man who
was bringing out the ball accidentally
placed 1t upon the ground thereby
losing the privilege of try at goal.

RUANE MAY LIVE
Though Badly Hurt He Has CHARGE
To Recover.

John Ruane. the foreman who was
shockingly injured at the Taylor quar-
ry Saturday afternoon, was taken to
the Soldiers Home hospital as soon as
possible and later was put on board the
o'clock train and taken to the Sainar-
itan hospital in Troy by d., II, J. Pot
ter. At tho hospital DR.. James r.
Marsh operated upon the injured man,
removing several pieces Of fractured
skull, one of them as large as an or.
binary fresh water clam SHE'LL II was
found that the membrane covering the
brain was not badly torn, a cut about
an inch long only being found 1t is
hoped that the brain itself is not injur-
ed.
When Dr. Potter left the hospital
shortly before l o'clock Sunday morn
ing, the patients condition was even
better than could have been expected
under the circumstances. The opera
ton, so the surgeon stated. gave the
man the one chance that there was for
his life.
Ruanes family in Rutland were no
tilted of the accident Saturday after
noon and a son and daughter arrived
here on the evening train from the
north and later went to Troy.

TOO HOT FOR GALE

err Barred from Two States.

err Barred from Two States.
Brattleboro. Oct. 4.-The efforts Of
the Law and Order league and the
systematic attempts of many Vermont
people in stopping the sale of liquor
on the island, situated in the COnnec-
ticut river between BrattlebOro. VT,
and Hinsdale, N. H., have at last after
years of active work met with success.
The grand Jury Of Cheshire county Of
Keene, N. H., brought In indictments
today against f. G. Gale of Hinsdale
and Johanna Shea, clerk of the Ches-
hire county express company.
The indictments were brought about
as result of the famous $4,000 libel
suit of f. c. Gale against the Hon. j..
H. Albin of Concord, N H., In which
the plaintiff charged Mr.. Albin with
SANDER of his business and defamation
of character thereby preventing his
getting license to sell liquor. Pre-
paratory 10 fghting the case Gen. Al.
bin caused thirty witnesses to be sum
moned in Brattleboro to tell what they
saw at the saloon run by Gale q few
years ago and what they know about
the operations of the Cheshire Express
company, established since he lost his
license and whose principal business
has been to deliver liquor to Brattle-
boro patrons at it's Office located on
the island. The witnesses were also
questioned as to the relation Gale had
to the express company. The case was
dropped later.
The information gained was brought
last month before the grand jury of
Windham at Newfane and all Of the
witnesses called who testified In Brat
tlebOro. An indictment was found
against Gale for selling liquor by the
Vermont jury II has not been served
however, as Gale has not been In the
state since the warrant was issued
against him. Those who were fighting
him caused all of the witnesses In Yer
mont to appear before the grand jury
in Cheshire county, now sitting In
Keene, n H., to give the evidence that
they had to divulge against Gale and
the Express company. No arrests,
however, have been made as result
of the indictments of the New Hamp
shire jury as Gale cannot be found.
| Miss Shea, sister-in-law of Mr.. Gale
is not at home, and 1t is doubtful II she
will be arrested. However the point
oil the opponents Is gained for Gale
cannot come into Vermont, or New
Hampshire without arrest and hence
the sale Of the liquor and the opera
tons OF the express company On the
island have stopped.

The letter to the secretary of the

mentions the fact that his letter OF
July 20 is explicit and grants all the
townspeople could ask for, providing
the collector of the district Is instruct

Then it goes on to say: He refuses
to remedy the abuses complained of
until he is so instructed by the depart

has inside information which compels
him to construe the departments or
der of April 2, 1907. to mean that all
merchandise may pass through this

to law but the departments order of
April authorized the collector to sta

PIONEERS ADOPT
RESOLUTIONS INDORSlNG
OWENS RIVER BONDS

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Pioneers of Los Angeles county,
held last night at the Caledonian hall,
1191s South Spring street, the following
resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That the Pioneers of Los
Angeles county, California, indorse
the proposition of bringing the water
from Owens river to Los Angeles.
We believe that in the bringing of
a plentiful supply of pure water to
Los Angeles and vicinity, it will be
the means of assuring the future
growth of Los Angeles and surround
ings, and we believe that in aiding the
bringing of water to Los Angeles from
Owens river, we leave to our children
and citizens of Los Angeles the best
heritage we can give them. We want
to see all of the surrounding country
of Los Angeles made beautiful and
prosperous, and to that end more wa
ter is needed.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
indorse the Owens river water supply
proposition as proposed by our
brother pioneer, William Mulholland,
in whom we have full confidence as
to his ability as an engineer.
We therefore earnestly urge our fell
low pioneers to work and vote for the
Owens river bonds June IL.
And on motion by John j. Jones,
the above is unanimously adopted.
Signed: FRANK BURNS, Pres.
J.. M. QUINN, Secretary.

STUDENTS DEBATE ON
OWENS RIVER BONDS AT
POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL

Talk of Owens river and the vast
good it's waters will do to Los An
geles fills the air everywhere; and
even at the public schools the pupils
are using it as a subject for debate
in their daily English and oratorical
classes. Arguments pro and con are
of daily occurrence, and some of the
arguments used by the youthful advo-
Gates might well be needed by some
of the older, but scarcely wiser
knockers"
At the Polytechnic high school yes
terday the oral English class was
treated to a debate on the subject,
with Leland Irish on the affirmative
side and Irving Humphrey upholding
the negative. The opinion of the class
at the conclusion was almost unani-
nous in favor of Irish and his favora-
BILE speech toward the Owens river,
and the young orator was loudly ap-
plauded when he left the platform.
