A suit was brought several years ago in
probate court ia the Castleton district
By the 1t. Rev. Bishop John >. Michaud,
hnanc al agent Of the Roman Catholic
diocese Of Vermont, against the estate OF
the Rev. Thomas Lynch, who died in 1899.
II was claimed that Father Lynch had
collected in pew rents and in other ways
certain funds belonging to the parish,
which he had not turned over to the
proper authorities. The estate made a
counter claim for 5000, which, it was
claimed, he had expended in building a
parsonage and repairing the church. A
hearing in the matter was held Saturday
before special commission. Both the
bishops claims and the counter claim OF
the estate were disallowed, but note
against the diocese held by the state for
S139.S0 was allowed. n
\ cowardly attempt was made recently
to destroy the sight Of Elmer Richardson
of Reed hill, Brattleboro. Richardson,
who is is years old, one evening left home
to so up street. He had proceeded but a
short distance when some person threw
into his face liquid which closed one eye
and burned deeply into the flesh on the
left side Richardson CROPPED his way
home painfully. His mother washed the
drug from his face and summoned a
physician, who, after attending the young
msn, stated that in his opinion the drug
used was lysol, a powerful caustic
antiseptic resembling carbolic acid. The
drug was thrown from point near the
Brattleboro House and the assailant APP
peared to be a man dressed in womsn's
clothing. Richardson attributes the at
tack to desire to sttle grudge against
him.
Bert Young of Williamstown, proprie-
tor of a livery stable in that village, was
robbed of about 800 while on his way
home from Barre city last week Wednes-
day night near the city limits on South
Main street. Mr.. Young drove a pair Of
horses to Chelsea that day to collect a
note which, with accrued interest,
amounted to about $500. On his return
home he hitcbed up another team and
came to Barre, saying that he intended to
collect some money there. Mr.. Young
left for home about 10 o'clock. In the
outskirts Of the city he overlook man
whom he asked to ride. He was evidently
assaulted by this man for he recalls moth
ing after the man got into the vehicle. |
Mr.. Young was found by the roadside by
a passerby, having received blow on the
head from some blunt instrument or from
fall. The team was found on its way
home. Mr.. Young's large wallet con-
tanning his money, which he carried IN an
inside pocket, was missed when he re-
covered consciousness.
