terry.
The National White River bank ad-
vanced funds last week TO the school
committee of the city of Rutland with
which to pay the teachers. There is a
controversy between the city officials
and the school officers and the funds were
held up. In order to pay the teachers on
the regular pay days, it was necessary for
the school board to borrow the funds.
Mrs. Frank Cowdrey, formerly Mrs.
Gertrude Gardner, who was seriously in
jured in a runaway last August, has recOv-
cred sufficiently to assist in her house
hold duties without the aid of crutches.
She suffered badly fractured ankle and
at the time of the accident it was thought
the limb would have to be amputated,
but through the skiIful care of Or. o. V.
Greene the limb has done well and bids
! fair to be as sound as before the accident
Silas Holland passed away Monday at
the home OF his sister, Mrs. Mary E.
Harrington, of River street. Funeral
services were held Wednesday, Rev.
George +. Fortier of st. Adams, former
pastor of the Bethel universaiist church,
officiating. The interment was in Stock
bridge. Mr.. Holland was born in Stock
| bridge July 80, 1927, and was the son of
Elijah and Lucy (Whitcomb) Holland.
! The cause of his death was valvular dis
ease of the heart.
! The board of health has received num-
erous inquiries as to how soon the dog
quarantine would be raised. II has been
thought best to keep on the quarantine a
while longer. The dog OF r. e. Cowdrey
became affected with the disease last week
and had to be killed. Although the tests
made at the state experiment station at
Burlington fail to give signs of rabies,
yet it is the opinion of prominent local
medical authority that the Bethel epidem-
ic among dogs is surely rabies.

! Willie Como, aged Is years, escaped
from the industrial school at Vergennes
J last week, but was followed and recap
tured. Young Como was formerly a res
ident of Bethel and the son of John G..
Como. The lads mother lives in Maine.
Mr.. Como was not able to maintain any
government over the boy and last fall
fitted him out with mileage and started
him for the home of his mother in Maine.
The lad evidently got no further home
than White River Junction, for the next
that was heard of him was few days la
ter when it was learned that he had been
sent tc the industrial school for some
misdemeaDor committed at White River
