Eugene Murtaugh of Montpelier, the
nine-year-old boy for whom diligent
search was made all day Sept. and for
whose body the Winooski river was
dragged that afternoon, was found the
next morning alive and well at Groton
and was safely returned TO his parents at
noon. He boarded the mixed train Sept.
when 1t stopped at the Central Vermont
crossing and told Conductor Henderson
his father wanted 10 send him to Groton
and did not have time TO get pass for
him. The conductors suspicious were
not aroused and as he was at Wells River
over Sunday and knew nothing about
the anxiety of the boys parents, he did
not communicate with them. The lad
was very humble when he reached home
and promised never to run away again.
There was hearing Sept. II before
United States Commissioner George K.
johnson in the matter of the United
States VS.. Garfield Hamasian, alias
Charles Barbarian, who is charged with
attempting 10 smuggle three aliens OF
Oriental extraction into the United
States. Barbarian and three immi-
grants were arrested about month ago
at Alburg by the immigration inspec-
tors. The evidence OF the immigration
officials was taken and Barbarian was
held for examination by the federal grand
jury at the October term of court, to be
tried in Rutland. The three aliens were
held as witnesses. II is expected that the
case will bring to light a well organized
underground railway system which has
been bringing Orientals into this coun-
try via Canada.

encampment at Saratoga last week was
the presentation to Col. A. c. Brown of
Montpelier by Comrade Henry B. Meigs
OF Baltimore, member ofJCompany X
of the 18th, of gold badge of beautiful
design, embellished with diamonds and
other precious stones. Col. Brown is
commander of the department OF VT. q.
A. R., and was lieutenant-colonel of the
18th. He is hale veteran, who
achieved an enviable war record and has
since been a conspicuous figure in Yer
mont as finaneier and man of affairs.
The presentation speech of Comrade
Meigs was an eloquent tribute to Col.
Browns worth as soldier and as
man. The colonel was taken completely
by surprise but made an earnest and ar-
preciative response. The badge was the
gift to Col. Brown of his comrades of the
18th in recognition of his hard work,
loyalty and devotion to the order.
A two-year-old buck deer was captured
alive and unframed Sept. IL by Deputy
Sheriff C. A. Emery of st. Adams. Mr..
Emery was driving home from Georgia
when the deer suddenly bounded across
the road in front Of the team Mr.. Emery
was driving, and, in attempting to jump
the wire fence, became entangled in
the meshes. Mr.. Emery saw the ami
mails predicament and made dash for
him, getting there just as the c eer got
free of the wire fence. Emery caught the
animal by the horns and for few min
utes the air was full of deputy sheriff and
deer. The deer did about everything to
Emery except bite him, and Emery de-
yeloped a sudden fondness for the deer
and started in to hug him to death. To
this the animal succumbed and Emery
triumphantly toted him to G. l. Nye's
farm, where he was safely housed in
corn crib. The deer was rather tired and
had the appearance Of having been chased
by dogs.
