Famous Fox Case Discontinued.

The famous fox case between Creon
Miner and c.. S. Miller of Guilford came
to an untimely end Tuesday by the agree
ment TO discontinue the suit with the un-
derstanding that each side should pay its
own costs and no other suit be brought.
The case was over the ownership OF fox
skin valued at 50 and the expenses OF
each side will amount to at least SO.
The agreement to discontinue was made
after a seven hours unsuccessful at
tempt to empanel a jury. The entire
Jury list of Guilford, Vernon and Brattle-
boro was exhausted before the agreement
was reached The case was to be tried
before Justice Legate in the Broad Brook
House and the hotel was packed with in
terested spectators including fox hunters
from many miles away. John E Gale. at
torney for the plaintiff, was assisted by
Attorney A. F. Schwenk and the deten-
dants attorney WAS II. G. Barber. Inc
case was tried the week before and the
Jury failed to agree and was discharged.
The court opened at O'Clock in the
morning and after a little preliminary
legal sparring it was decided to draw
Jury from surrounding towns as well as
Guilford, each juror to be agreed upon by
counsel. The Guilford list was shortly
exhausted, the Vernon list followed suit
and then serious inroads were made In
the Brattleboro names. At $50 O'Clock IN
the afternoon the list was exhausted and
only three jurors had been drawn, one
from Guilford and two from Vernon. A
CLEAN of common sense began to come
to the principals in the suit about this
time and the first talk of a settlement
opened The agreement to discontinue
was in reality a victory for the defendant
as he would have done but little better
had the case been decided in his favor.

Cruel Neglect.

A petition for divorce has been filed in
the office of the county clerk by Mrs
Carrie G. McVeigh Of Brattleboro, wife
of Thomas H. McVeigh OF New York,
alleging wilful and cruel neglect and re-
fusal 10 support The case will be heard
in the coming term of Windham county

the morning of March 81, 1905. He was
night engineer at the electric plant on
West river in West Dummerston, owned
by the Brattleboro Gas Light Co. He
left the machinery running, and that fact
together with the fact that freshet was
raging, led TO the belief that Nc Weigh had
been drowned. Afterwards he was heard

ter was born to Mrs. McVeigh. The fam
lily became separated and boy, Norman,
now u years old went to live with his
grandmother, Mrs. Matthew hcVeigh, in
Ceutreville Recently relatives Of Nc

to keep the boy at the home of his grand
mother, but while the effort was in pro-
gress the mother drove up to the house,
took the boy into her carriage, and went
with him to Boston, which ended the
proceedings.
There are four children, Norman,
Wayne, Paul and Dorothy, aged II, and
years and 10 months. respectively. Mrs.
McVeigh asks to have the custody or the
children, to have the household furniture
decreed to her, and TO be allowed to re-
sumo her maiden name.

DIAMOND DICK DESPERADOES CAUGHT
Two Boys Who Had Plumber Taken from Cottages Near Springfield
Mass Were Their Way to Connecticut Lake. Heavily Armed

them in a corner. They said they left
Agawam Wednesday morning, but Mr..
Studley had learned that the johnson boy
had been seen in a shack in the woods
in Agawam Wednesday night, cleaning a
gun which had been stolen from a cot
tage. This shack is used as headquarters
by a gang of young toughs who have bur
glarized a number of cottages on the
banks Of the Connecticut river at Aga
wan and Longmeadow within the past
few weeks and have carried away many
articles of value, including firearms, and
have demolished many articles. Mr. stud
ley told them that he knew all the facts
and that they might as we'll be frank as
the truth would come out sometime.
They continued to make statements not
in accord with the facts each answering
for the other when he thought it would
help the situation any. and finally Mr..
Studley separated them and in that way
was able to get much valuable informa-
ton from them. They admitted having
entered several cottages and told other
things which the officer did not wish
to make public. They said they had 81 as
between them when they left home and
that they earned the money selling news
papers. 1t is known that they had some
money as they bought some food at
bakery on arriving in Brattleboro. Ac-
cording to their story they walked from
Agawam to Springfield, rode from SPRING
field to Northampton, walked from there
to Whately, rode to South Vernon and
walked the rest of the way to Brattleboro.
They said they built a fire and camped
in the woods one night.
The Pomeroy boy said he lived with
his mother which was correct. and that
his father died two winters ago" Mr..
Studley said afterwards that the boys
father was living The Johnson boy, who
| looked considerably less than Is years
old, said he was living with his grand
mother. which also was correct, but he
did not give her right name. Mr.. stud
ley said he believed the capture OF the
two lads would have important results.
The wrecking Of the cottages was dis
covered a week ago Saturday by one Of
the cottage owners. Other owners were
notified and when the extent of the
damage was learned Sheriff Embury p.
Clark offered a reward OF 800 for the
capture of the vandals. Seven cottages
were broken into, entrance being gained
by smashing the doors and to others by
| breaking the windows. All the crockery
was smashed into bits, stoves were over
! turned and every pane Of glass was made
! a target blankets were torn, canoes were
| damaged, and when the culprits were
| through the cottages presented a scene
| Of desolation.
The youthful hooters were brought be-
| fore the Springfield police court Monday
| morning and the charge OF delinquency
| on which they were arrested was filed
| away and a charge OF breaking and enter
ing substituted as they had confessed to
| breaking into cottages down the river in
| the towns Of Agawam and Longmeadow.
! A final disposition OF their cases will be
made in the Springfield police court to-
| day

Mortified Merchant Who is a Successful
Coon Hunter.

H. A. Reed, of Mortified. Mass, a
well-known business man, gets much
enjoyment out OF coon hunting. He has
been a hunter OF ability gears. He was
IA years old when he began and ne is
now %. This winter Mr.. and Mrs. Reed
are wearing fur coats that attract much
attention.
The skins for both coats came entirely
from coons killed by Mr.. Reed. In the
coat worn by Mrs. Reed, "a selected
skins were used, and the coat worn by
Mr.. Reed a smaller number. The coat
worn by Mrs. Reed has a commercial
value of SIS and that worn by Mr. Reed
is valued at $50.
OF course in coon hunting a good dog
Is absolutely essential One full-blood-
ed hound named Spot, killed S13 coons
while he was owned by Mr.. Reed. When
he was IL years old Spot felt that he
had been sufficiently useful and died.
The present hound owned by Mr.. Reed
is named Dime. He is one OF the sons
Of Spot, and thus far his record at s
years Of age is 10 coons, 20 OF them
being captured last fall.
The flesh of coons is delicious for the
table If properly cooked. 1t has a COM
mercial value and Mr.. Reed has sup
piled a number OF Franklin county
hotels when a coon supper is to be
served Mr. Reed likes the sport
Coon hunting has to be done after dark
and 1t is little rough for the tenderfoot.
Mrs Reed has now and then been out
on hunting trips with her husband, but
does not care for the sport. Frequently
the hunters are out all night and not
infrequently walk and run for 20 miles
or even more.

TWO Massachusetts, lads OF the Diamond
Dick type were taken into custody by
Night Waterman William L. Warren Sat
urday morning, thereby cutting short an
ticipations of an adventurous hunting and
fishing expedition. They were turned
over to a Massachusetts officer, who left
with them on the 2.23 train for Springfield
Saturday afternoon. They gave their
names as Robert Johnson and Ralph Pom
eroy, Is and 16 years old respectively, and
they were armed with a rifle. shotgun, re-
volver and a large number of shells and
-4rtridges The ammunition was carried
in a paper bag together with a long tape
line. fishing tackle and other parapher-
MALTA.
The youthful Adventures appeared at
the house Of George Herrick, about three
miles north of Brattleboro village, on the
Putney road, Friday night and asked for
supper and lodging Their appearance
aroused Mr.. Herricks suspicion, and after
the boys had gone to bed Mr.. HeTick call
ed Mr. Warren by telephone and gave
him what information he could about the
two young visitors. Mr.. Warren went to
Mr.. Herrick's house and talked with the
lads while they were in bed. They gave
him their names and ages and said they
we're on their way to Connecticut lake,
the source of the Connecticut river. TO
hunt and fish They made several state
ments which did not hang together well,
and Mr.. Warren decided that the place for
them was in Agawam. Mass, where they
said their homes were.
After having the boys clothing removed
from the room to prevent their escape In
the morning Mr.. Warren left them in bed
rather than to lock them up, and returned
10 this village. He telephoned to Aga
wan and West Springfield in an effort to
establish the identity Of the boys and
finally located an oficer who knew all
about their escapades and who, with
Massachusetts state officer, had spent con-
siderable time trying to locate them and
to determine the extent Of depredattons
of a gang to which these two apparently
belonged This officer was Deputy Sher-
if O. w. Studley of Springfield. Deputy
Sheriff Studley came to Bratleboro on the
II O5 train Saturday morning and was met
at the station by Mr.. Warren and the pris-
oners Mr. Warren having returned to the
Herrick house after them early in the
forenoon.
The officers and prisoners, accompanied
by a newspaper man, went to the fire de-
partment headquarters on Elliot street.
and there the two youths were put
through a rigid examination, Mr.. Studiey
acting as inquisitor. The boys sat near
each other and made a fine subject for n
dime novel picture gallery. Their hair
looked as though it never came in contact
with a comb their shoes were water
soaked their clothing was ragged, they
had no gloves or mittens and their hands
we're rough and red from exposure to the
cold Mr. Studley asked them If they
wanted to go back home, TO which they re
piled with an Indifferent air: I'VE just
as soon"
Mr.. Studley had gathered a large
amount of information about the young
vandals and almost at the outset he had
