MRS. HELEN TENNEY
NOW IN NEWFANE
Has in One Stocking a Dollar on
Which to Get Drunk When She Gets
Out After Serving Thirty Days
for Disturbing Peace.

Mrs. Helen Tenney, Putney woman
whose cosmopolitan tastes have lead
her into all sorts of trouble during the
past few years, is now serving 80 days
in the county Jail in Newfane, where
she was taken last week Thursday
evening by Deputy Sheriff W. S. Fem
of Westminster. Mrs. Tenney has
been the heroine of many eposldes, put
this is the first time she has been lock
ed behind the bars, except when beng
detained temporarily. Her husband IS
Frank Tenney, a lumberman. A week
or more ago she left her domicile and
went to Westminster, where she dis
ported with a negro family named Nor
rington, which has figured in various
incidents of an unsavory character.
She became intoxicated, wandered
ont on the streets and made such a
rumpus that Deputy Sheriff Fem plac-
ed her under arrest. States Attorney
r. c. Bacon went to Westminster and
had her arraigned before Justice
Stephen Nutting. She pleaded guilty
to the charge of disturbing the peace
and was sentenced to 80 days in the
county Jail Just before beginning her
trip iailward her husband handed her
a one dollar bill She tucked it in her
stocking and said: "II keep. this to
get drunk on when I get out"
Last May one H. S. Chang, a China
man. who had a laundry in Brattleboro,
wooed Mrs. Tenney and she consented
to marry him. He bought her a watch,
hat, and gown, and while he was
procuring license, she disappeared.
He found her on a train which was
about to start and snatched the watch
from her, but travelling men refused
to let him depart. The train started
and Chang rode several miles before he
decided to return the watch and leave
the train. In May, 1905, Mrs. Tenney
slugged Policeman Ellis Worden at the
Brattleboro railroad station and knock
ed off his chapeau. She put her fist
through a car window and cut big
cash in her hand. She was hustled to
hotel for safe keeping, but skipped
out before any of the hotel people were
up in the morning. In the summer of
1905 a young man from Keene, N. H.,
told States Attorney A. f. Schwenk

CASE PERPLExEs PHYSICIANS.
Luther Avery Suddenly Taken Ill Fri
day Afternoon.

Luther Avery, who has been employ
ed by the Estey Organ company, was
taken to the Brattleboro Retreat Mon
day evening to be examined by alien
lists. Avery's condition since Friday
noon has puzzled his physician and his
friends. At that time he returned
from work to dinner, handed his wife
his week S pay, and acted nationally
in every way. After dinner he start
ed for work as usual At 4.30 O'Clock
Mrs. Avery was surprised to see her
husband return home. His clothing
was soaked with water and it was APP
parent that he had passed through an
unusual experience, but he could give
no intelligent account of what had
happened to him. Mrs. Avery removed
her husbands clothes and got him to
bed and summoned a physician. From
that time until Sunday, Mr.. Avery was
practically unconscious. He revived
sufficiently Sunday to ask for some
thing to eat and to complain of bad
feeling in his head. Since then he has
been little better.
Friends of Mr.. Avery attempted to
trace his steps after he left his home
Friday noon. Only one person has
been found who saw him, and that per
son says he was not returning to work
by his usual route. Nothing is known
definitely, however, as to where he
went. The course he took would lead
him past canal, and it is thought he
may have fallen into the canal. His
watch stopped at 1.30 clock, and as
it was 400 clock when he reached
home it is apparent that he was in the
water from two to three hours. Avery
is about 30 years old and a man of
excellent habits.

Not Fooled by Promises.
Londonderry Sifter.)

The organization of the West River
Valley Lumbermen association has
already resulted in bringing forth
promises from the railroad company
that the lumbermen shall have better
freight service on the West River di-
vision. But the executive committee
do not intend to be put off with prom
ises, and have decided to ask the state
board of railroad commissioners to in
vestigate the complaints and to com
pei better service. The association
claims there is $250,000 worth of lum,
her at the various stations on the road
that is waiting for shipment. If the
price of lumber should begin to de-
cline there would be some buzzing that
would resemble nest of hornets, only
worse.

telephone and telegraph committee
spoke briefly regarding the efforts that
had been made to get telephone pay
station installed in the local railroad
station, saying that he thought the
matter would be brought about soon,
A. p. Simonds spoke briefly of the
work of the printing and publicity
committee.
The remainder of the meeting was
given over to "A general discussion OF
matters of interest to Brattleboro'
among the most important being the
need of more tenement houses. There
seemed to be a division of opinion as
to how this need could best be met but
the resulting argument was good nat
ured and productive of much good. The
sentiment of all seemed to be that the
Brattleboro board of trade had accom-,
plished much in the way of good and
was in "A position to accomplish much
more.

Pioneer in Still Another Line.

BY inviting the state press to encour-
age the spread of the arts and crafts
movement under the guidance of So
ciety recently organized in its city,
The Burlington Free Press rather insin-
yates that the good people of its com
munity are doing something new in the
line of social culture in Vermont The
fact is, however, that Brattleboro has
for several years devoted much atten'
ton to the practical uses of the arts

Wilmington Times.)

The Manchester Journal thinks those
towns are quite within their rights
that refuse to turn over their United
States deposit funds to the state I'M
til they have determined whether or
not they can legally be compelled to
do so. Exactly so; their position is
precisely that of man who borrows
from another sum of money on his
note and refuses to pay until a court
decides that the note was drawn and
signed in proper legal form. The Dor
rover in such case has such right.
If he takes advantage of it he may per
haps escape the obligation to pay
through some legal technicality. But
he is none the less thief and a beat.
Also if he fails to make a case he may
be penalized in the sum of the costs
of the suit. The Vermont towns that
seek to keep their clutches on the

PAST YEAR ONE
OF MUCH PROGRESS
Annual Meeting Of Local Board
of Trade.
VERY ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
Reports from Different Committees
Show That Much Has Been Accom-
plished Since Organization Last May
Directors Elected Tuesday.

The first annual meeting of the Brat
tleboro board of trade was held Tues
day evening in the grange banquet hall
with about so members present. The
meeting was called to order by Presi-
dent Charles o. Robbins and after the
call for the meeting and the minutes
of the last meeting had been read by
Secretary George E. Fox the annual
reports were heard. President Robbins
described in general way the work
that had been done by the board of
trade during it's first year of existence,
calling especial attention to the Oppor-
tunity it now has for helping the
growth of the town and laying EN-
phasis on the Importance of co-opera'
tion and harmony among its members:
Adm H. Pettee, treasurer, gave brlef
report showing a balance of about
$500 in the treasury.
The report of Secretary George Il.
Fox covered the work of the board
more in detail. He said the first III
months had not been period OF pyro-
technic display of great deeds accom-
plished but rather months of healthy
progress. Opportunities had frequent
ly arisen which proved conclusively the
worth of an organization always IN
readiness to deal with any matter al
fecting Brattleboro s interests. Secre-
tary Fox gave the present membership
as ITO. When the board was organized
last May the number was l6I. since
then one member has died, five have
been dropped from the list for non-pay'
ment of dues and nine new names have
been added.
In speaking of the work of the va,
rious committees the secretary hrst
mentioned that of the committee on
insurance and taxation which prevent
ed an increase in insurance rates in
Brattleboro last summer The work OF
the local trade committee in organic
ing the Brattleboro Merchants associa
ton was commended also. The manu-
featuring and new industries commit
tee, the secretary said, had borne the
biggest burden of work of any commit
tee and it had been work of thank
less kind. No fewer than 20 industries
contemplating a change in location had
been interviewed, their reliability
studied and their stability investigat
ed. In every instance, however, either
the demand for bonus was too hlgt
or for other and various reasons the
industries we're not secured.
Mention was also made of the work
of the mercantile committee in seeur
ing closer and more cordial relations
among local merchants, and the PRINT

When the Hon. Z. l.. Waterman was
elected one of the judges of the su-
perior court, it was announced by
somebody on somebody authority
that he would move to Rutland in or.
der to give the Marble City a repre-
sentative on the bench and relieve
Brattleboro of the burden of one more
public servant. But how can any one
be expected to leave Brattleboro un.

school funds loaned to them stand a
deal better chance of having to settle
for the expense Of collection than they
have of retaining the money. Event
ually they will have to produce the
cash. And it makes no difference
whether or not the towns have dissi-
pated these funds, wholly or in part.
Every dollar of individually owned
property in any of them is liable for
the town s debts and each of the
recalcitraut communities is good -
for the bill. If Bennington, Manches-
ter and Brattleboro do not want to per
manently injure their credit they
would do well to pay their honest debts
before the sheriff comes around.

Shall We Gather at the Dam Site?

Brattleboro is properly enthusiastic
in its joy over the prospects of great
power development plant on the Con
necticut river. This year there is to be
an Old Home week celebration of thou
sands of Brattleboreans by brevet that
have "passed through" the place in
years gone by and the exercises will
begin with the singing of the touching
sentimental ballad, "Shall We Gather
at the Dam Site?'

Bennington and Brattleboro are of
about the same size and are similar in
other respects, yet Brattleboro appro-
PIRATES $4,000 year to support its Ii
brary while Bennington gives a beg

are next to the schools in their educa-
tional value and it would seem as
though it would pay his town to be a
little more generous to its public IL
brarics.
