No Vermont Superior Court.

Most people viii be surprised TO
learn, in view of all that has been said
aud printed about the new Judiciary
system in the state, that there is no
superior court in Vermont. The supc'
rior Judges are almost invariably re-
ferrcd to enormously as judges Of the
superior court. Lawyers Of expert
ence aud ability have made out docu'
ments TO be signed by the superior
Judges and have written below the
blank space for the signatures the
words, "Judge of the Superior Court. 4"
These words are promptly erased,
however, and the words, Superior
Judge" are substituted. When the
bill creating new Judiciary system
was prepared, it was suggested that
wherever the words County court "
appeared, the word County should
be changed to "superior," but on ac'
count of opposition the change was
not made, aud the words Superior
court" do not appear in the act at all.
The superior judges preside over the
session of the county court, but they
do not hold court as body, as do the
supreme court iudges.-Brattleboro

IN A PITIFUL CONDITION.
Westminster Boy Being Treated at the
Brattleboro Retreat.

A pitiful case Of neglect and abuse has
been Investigated by the town authorities
in Westminster and the victim has been
rescued and is now being treated at the
Brattleboro Retreat. The victim is Johnny
McGreen, u partial imbeclle, who has been
living with his grandfather, Comfort wy
man The boy will be 9 years old IN
June He has lived in a condition OF
squalor deprived of the ordinary means
of comfort without proper clothing, and
when he was rescued both his feet were
frozen Just how this came about can
not be learned, on account of the men
tai condition of the boy. The lad Is I'M
proving, and when he has sufficiently re-
covered il is the intention OF those having
him in charge to place him in home for
destitute children.
When the Westminster authorities
learned of the conditions under which the
boy existed arrangements were made Tor
having him cared for temporarily at the
kurn Hattin home in that town, which
is home for boys. A team was sent Tor
him. but the boys grandfather would not
allow him to be removed on account OF
his dirty condition. Next day he was
taken TO the Kum Hattin home, where 1t
was found that one heel had cracked open
and the crack was full of dirt. His scant
clothing had been left behind and all the
clothes he wore were some that had been
furnished by Kurn Hattin boys, with the
exception OF the shoes which covered his
frozen feet. These were woman shoes
and they pinched his feet and caused much
pain.
After two hours of hard work by the
matron, assisted by the boys, who were
deeply interested in the newcomer,
Johnny was cleaned up and his feet were
bandaged, and as soon as arrangements
could be made he was removed to the
Brattleboro Retreat.

WESTMINSTER ISSUES Def.
Is Willing to Play Putney Almost Any
where

In order that the public may know
the exact standing of the Westminster
A. c. and Putney basketball teams,
the Westminster management issues
the following: On Jan. q Westminster
A. c. defeated Putney by score of 10
to S, each team being strictly from
their respective places. On Feb. 20
the Putney team came to Westminster
and with two Brattleboro men defeat
ed Westminster 2S to %, although
Westminster played strictly "A home
team. On Feb. 81 Westminster went
to Putney, taking Kelley of Bellows
Falls to offset the two Brattleboro
men, who sure enough were on the
floor. Two periods were played, at the
end of which the score stood 5 to 1 IN
favor of Westminster. When ready
for the third period the professional
crack, Boutwell,, appeared on the
floor and Westminster said "No.' Be
fore the game the two arrangements
had agreed each to pay onehalf Both
well S expenses to referee, which he
did very satisfactorily the first two
periods. After hiring him to referee
and with the two Brattleboro men
there on the floor Westminster would
not allow him to play against them.
Soon Smith, who had not been agreed
upon as a referee, declared the game
forfeited.
In the papers appeared a challenge
from Putney to Westminster to play
on a neutral floor. This Westminster
was willing to accept but upon inter
viewing Putney as to arranging a
game, the Putncy management denied
having made the challenge Now
Westminster rcvcrses the challenge
and is ready and anxious to play on
Walpole, Bellows Falls or Saxtons Riv
err floors, with the referee from the
town where the game is played.
Now, if Putney really wishes to set
tie the question with strictly Putney
players against Westminster players,
Westminster A. C. is anxious to play.
