his wife's aunt, Miss Porter.
The finding makes II clear that the
wounds we're made by bullets Of the

that two revolvers we're used in the

ABOUT $4,000.
FIGHT WAS VERY BITTER ONE
Democrats Make Gains in Lower
Branch Legislature But Not
Enough to Place Them In
Control.

White River Junction, VT, Sept a.
The Republicans won the election In
Vermont Tuesday by carrying the
state for Lieutenant Governor George
II. Prouty, of Newport, for governor
by about $4,000 votes over James f.
Burke, OF Burlington, his Democratic
opponent. The plurality was the
smallest on a presidential year since
1892, when It was only 1885, and was
followed by Democratic national vic
tory; but II was larger than in 1888
and only slightly less than in 1900.
The Independence League appeared
Cor the frst time and polled about
1900 votes, while the Prohibition and
mcialistic vote remained about the
same.
An unusually large number of local
contests for members OF the legisla-
ture, although bringing out heavy
vote and resulting in Democratic gains
in the lower branch OF the legislature
apparently had no bearing on the CUB
srnatorial fight
As Vermont is the first state TO vote
during the presidential campaign,
there was much interest throughout
the country as to the size OF the Re
publican plurality
The Republicans retained control Of
legislative and executive branches of
government in Vermont.
At 10:45 returns had been received
from 157 towns and three cities, in
GLIDING Burlington 81 the 24O towns
and six cities OF the state These
gave returns for Governor: Prouty
(Rep.) 30,176; Burke (Dem.), 1864;
Bacbus Ond). 764; Campbell (Pro),
$50; Dunbar (Soc). 305.
The same cities and towns in 1904
gave; Bell (Rep). 32,726; Porter
Dem), 1921.
These figures indicate Republican
loss OF per cent and a Democratic
loss of per cent On this basis.
Prouty's plurality is estimated at
$4,000. compared with Bells plurality
Of 81. 557 in 1904
The Democrats we're anxious regard
ing the strength Of the independence
League movement. a new factor in
state politics, but the returns from a
majority OF the cities and towns show
ed that comparatively small number OF
voters supported Quimby 8. Backus,
Of Brandon, who headed the new party
ticket.

The little market of town is the
goal of all ambitious tradesmen in its
territory. 1t is at this point that
travelling peddlers, street vendors and
mountain Indians begin their days
labor, and they have usually spread
out their wares before daylight.
Here may be seen the wandering
Spaniard or Syrian, with his peddler's
pick spread out, with all its gaudy
attractions-highly colored handkeT-
chiefs. combs, strings of glass beads,
bracelets, necklaces and cheap fnery
of every description. His is the ma
gician's bag to the poor Indian criada
with only a few centavos to bespangle
her natural charms. and his is one
of the most attractive booths of the
plaza
But itinerant peddlers are common
TO all countries, and one must turn
elsewhere to catch those typical wares
Of the people. There, spread out on
the ground, one may see the cheap
native pottery, in various and sundry
shapes, serviceabIe and otherwise
which the Indians themselves have
made in their crude fashion. There
are the native fruits, luscious and
tempting, but fast spelling in the glare
OF the sun. There are native man.
tillas. shawls, rebozos and perhaps
a booth with other wearing apparel
for women. There are sombreros, and
frequently one may run across char
TO suits of leather with spangles of
silver pieces to catch the eye Of the
visiting ranchero. And there are
rough native shoes, with long pointed
toes, that were the style In the United
States several years ago.
In fact, there is no limit to the va
riety Of the wares which may be seen
for sale within the limits Of very
small market, though no grand pianos
have been noticed In the display
There is everything, from a pennys

G. NJ. Erstad, Of Brookings, South Da-

city of travelling salesman for the Min

able about that, at all, but there was
something very remarkable about Mr..
Erstad's visit here-or rather about the
man himself. He was six feet eight and
half inches tall, as he smilingly in
formed Judge Murphy and others who
politely requested the data. Mr.. Erstad
is proportioned in ratio with height, and
does not give one the impression of tall
ness so mulch as that of bigness. He
weighs two hundred and fifty pounds,
and is not feshy. Apparently he is accu-
stoned to attracting attention, and he
is very good natured about it. In re-
Spouse to request for for his name, he
produced a card from his vest pocket
about or level with The Chronoty pc
mans hat--and handed it down to us.
This was his second visit to Neche, he
having been here once last fall, when
his presence in our city seems to have
escaped general notice-though how
it happened will forever remain mys-
terry. MIR. Erstad wears only soft hats
He used to wear the other kind, but
broke so many Of them when he would

hotels that he quut it. Other difficulties
and discomforts.that he may encounter
in his travels may be easily imagined
