Will Excel Any of Those as Yet
Held

T.. r.. NAHUM, manager OF the coli
lege lecture course, returned the latter
part OF the week from Sioux Falls,
where he attended a meeting OF the
lecture course managers OF this section.
AT this meeting an association to be
known as the Interstate Lyceum Cir

service from the lyceum bureaus in
the way OF talent, prices, etc. The
following cities compose the associa-
ton: Luverne, Mimi, Rock Rapids
and Sheldon, Iowa, Sioux Falls,
Mitchell, Canton, Spencer, Huron,
Brookings, Miller, Aberdeen, Water
town. Representatives of the different
bureaus were present and presented
their list OF talent and quoted prices,
and after due consideration the asso-
citation chose the course offered by the
Redpath bureau. This course, which
will appear throughou: the circuit
next year, includes Adrian NJ. Nevens,
the man OF "A Message from Mars'
fame; Judge Lindsey, the famous
Judge OF the Denver juvenile court;
Katherine Ridgeway company, or
Mcdonald Concert company; Thos. B.
Fletcher, lecturer; Whitney Bros.
quartette; Colonial octette, consisting
OF both a male and female quartette,
who, clad in colonial costumes, also
do combined work.
One 81 the best features OF the cir
cult is that it avoids long jumps and
assures less tired-out talent. 1t also
assures that each number will appear
as advertised, as there will be no need
OF missing date with such short
jumps. A bureau OF information will
be established with the circuit, with
which the members can file complaints
and comments upon the talent, and
this information will be used in select
ing the next years. course.

From Their Doors.

A big wolf hunt is on in the north
eastern part Of the county, near White,

that vicinity have been getting numer-
Gus and bold, and grand hunt was

were to leave their homes so as to
reach this spot at two O'Clock this

them. For some time the wolves have

REMAINS OF HERBERT POND
Are Laid to Rest With I'M
preSSiVe Services.

The funeral of Herbert Pond, son oi
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. W. Pond, was held
from the Presbyterian church Friday
afternoon and the remains laid to rest
in Greenwood cemetary. Rev. A. M
Work of Watertown, former pastor OF
the church, was in charge OF the serVl-
ces, which were attended by large
number of friends Of the family.
Herbert Pond and his twin brother,
Harry, who survives him, were born
at Matowin, Wis, Oct. 10th, 1895. In
April, 1887 his parents moved to
Brookings county, and Herbert re-
ceived his early training in the pubic
schools OF this city. Following a
siege of pneumonia three years ago,
the fatal white plague attacked his
weakened constitution and the heroic
fight for life began. Everything that
loving hearts and willing hands could
do for him was done, but these only
deferred the fatal termination. He
spent the winter of 19Q5-O6 in Califor-
mia, and not receiving much beneht
he and his mother went to Phoenix,
Arizona. last fall, where his death
occurred on Feb. 9th. At an early age
Herbert was baptized in the Presby'
terian church, and two years ago
made a public confession of his ialth
in Christ and became a member o1
that church. Herbert was always q
loyal friend, very popular with his
acuuaintances and the news OF his
death was received with regret by
everybody.
1t is very rarely that community
has been moved to such sympathy as
has been extended to the Pond family
at this time, owing to the sad circum'
stances surrounding the death Of their
son and brother. Mr. Pond has beer
very i'll at his home for the past
month, and Mrs. Pond was unable tC
attend the funeral, being completely
exhausted by her grief and the long
journey home.

SENATOR BROWN
GIVEN BAD
RECORD
Mrs. Annie N. Bradley on Trial
For Her Life.
woMAN'S VICTIM SCORED
It viii Be Shown, Says Mr.. Hoover
That Defendant Has faint OF
Insanity.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-That the
defense of Mrs. Annie NJ. Bradley, on
trial here on the charge Of numbering
former United States Senator Brown,
would be insanity was made evident
beyond question by the preliminary
statement made to the court by her
attorney, Mr. Hoover.
The prosecution produced many wit
nesses to prove the facts of the killing.
and when ii rested It's case Mr.. Hoover
followed with his preliminary outline
of the case for the defense.
He detailed the principal events Of
Mrs. Bradley's life and entered mi
nutely into the circumstances Of her
intimacy with Mr.. Brown. saying that
it would be proved that she was com
pletely under his domination and fore
casting testimony which would be adj
duced to show that she was mentally
irresponsible when she fired the fatal
shot.
He also said that ii would be shown
that Mr.. Brown had performed more
than one criminal act upon her with
his own hands and that he had pre-
scented her with the pistol with which
she killed him, telling her that she
should use it upon his wife if she gave
her trouble. According TO Mr.. Hoover's
statement 1t will also be shown that
there Is a taint of insanity In Mrs.
Bradley's family.
The testimony presented by the pros
ecution was all Intended to show pre-
meditation on the part Of Mrs. Brad
ley in killing Senator Brown. II was
stated that she had told members Of
the police force in this city Immediate
ly after her arrest that she had not
acted upon any sudden impulse, and
one witness from Salt Lake City was
introduced to testify to the circum-
stance that she had told him some six
months before the tragedy that she in
tended to kill Mr.. Brown If he did not
! legitimatize her children by marrying
! her. Another witness from that city
| told of two efforts by Mrs. Bradley to
invade Mr.. Browns house, supposedly
with hostile intent. Max Brown. the
son Of the deceased senator, was on
the stand for few minutes during the
! day.
| The court adjourned until next Mon.
day 1t Is understood that when the
trial is resumed the state will stub
bornly antagonize Mrs Bradey's plea
of insanity and that much rebuttlne
tss timony will be introduced.

Michael Broughm, between 40 and
As years of age, and a resident of Ben.
nington for larger portion of his life,
died shortly before o'clock Friday
night In the boiler room of the Yer
mont Hosiery and Machinery company
mill on Gage street. Death presum-
ably resulted from heart failure
brought on by overindulgence in alco.
holic liquor, although there are some
features of the case that would seem
to indicate that there may have been
other causes.
Broughm for number of years was
boarder at the stocking mill and his
wife, for years previous to her death.
was an employe in the factory. When
former superintendent, John f. Frost,
severed his connection with the hosi-
cry company, Broughm likewise left
the mill and went TO work for Frost
on the farm that the former superin-
tendent now owns near the Farmers
Inn in the town of Hoosick.
Friday Frost and Broughm and the
formers daughter came to Bennington
for the purpose of moving some house
hold goods from Frost's ormer resi-
dence on Gage street to the farm
They were about town a portion of the
day and late in the afternoon Broughm
was sent by his employer to the house
on an errand. Later Frost, too, re-
turned 10 the house and found
Broughm lying upon the floor and com
planning. Frost aroused the man who
! got upon his feet and remarking that
| it was cold in the house went to the
mill engine room for the warmth.
Broughm was about the engine
room for over an hour. He appeared
| to be suffering somewhat, but the EN-.
ployes did not give his condition much
attention as they realized that he had
been drinking. Superintendent Allen,
who came into the mill about O'Clock,
noticed that the man was in bad shape
and summoned Dr. A. r. Houle. The
| physician went at once to the mill and
did what he could for Broughm, but
the man was already dying and soon
ceased to breathe.
| First Selectman Frank Crawford
was at once notified and took charge
OF the case. The remains were taken
to the Walbridge undertaking rooms
and Municipal Judge Il. l.. Bates re-
ported the case to the state laboratory
at Burlington. Arrangements were
made for an autopsy to be conducted
by DR., b. H. Stone of the laboratory,
who will arrive here this noon for
that purpose.
Inquiries about would seem to indi
cate that Broughm had not drank an
unusual quantity of liquor during the
day. He was reported perfectly sober
late in the afternoon and when he
came into the boiler room of the mill
he was able to walk about withou,
staggering. Frost said that he and
Broughm ate some oysters at one oil
the restaurants and he also said that
there was some horse liniment in a
whiskey bottle in the barn and oil
which Broughm might have drank.

pENoUNcEs BARRE RIOTERS
Declares That Resisting Constituted
Authority Is Serious Offence.

Montpelier, Nov. IA ringing de-
nunciation Of the rioters who attacked
several police officers Saturday night
when they attempted to arrest a
Swede named Olsen, was made by
Judge Waterman in Washington coun-
ty court today.
Judge Waterman declared that re-
sisting constituted authority was ser
ious offense. In assaulting an officer
he said, the offender assaulted the con
stituted authority of the state, and he
believed that the stringent measures
should be adopted to put a stop to
such occurrences. =
Judge Waterman's criticism was
brought cut when he sentenced Edwin
Deforge, charged with resisting an
officer at Barre, to six months impris-
onment, although this case had no in
innate connection with the riot.
