Night Policemen Henry Shadduck
and John Kight and Joe Wolf went
hunting for chickens and ducks and
such like yesterday afternoon and
came home just before 6 o'clock with
bigger game, having shot a wolf
about eleven miles northwest Of this
city. The wolf was one Of the large.
gaunt prairie type and died only af-
ter he had received q half dozen
broadsides from the three hunters.
M It was Officer Kight that discov-
cred the beast. He was hunting In
some rushes after ducks when all at
once 1ss saw an animal run through
the tall vegetation but q few feet
ahead. He thought that the ami
|mal was one OF the bird dogs until
1t gained the open prairie several
hundred. feet ahead, when he saw II
was wolf. Just at that instant a
second wolf jumped up from the same
spot as It's mate and he took several
broadsides. hitting it both times but
not killing #. His companions fired
several times and at last Mr.. Wolf
fired the shot that killed the beast
The animal howled and yelped like q
dog as each charge Of shot struck
him, gnashing his teeth in rage.
The hunters skinned the animal
and brought back the pelt upon
which there Is a bounty Of $3.50.
Besides the wolf the hunters se-

Deventer granted the application OF
the Arkansas railroads for a tenn

state Of Arkansas from further en-

The County Convention.

The republican county convention next
Thursday promises to be quite a love
feast and, so far as we can learn, the
only contest will be over the second as
sistant judge.
Edward T. Fairbanks of st. Johnsbury
will be unanimously nominated for one
of the senators and the same honor will
come to Judge J. T. Gleason of Lyndon
vile as the other county senator. Judge
Gleason is we'll trained for this office and
will prove one of the most useful men,
bers of the 1908 Senate.
The faithful work of Sheriff Winch will
be 6ttingly recognized by unanimous
denomination, while Robert w. Simonds
of St. Johnsbury will be our next states
attorney and a most efficient and ag-
gressive one. No opposition stands in
the path of Judge Walter p. Smith s
nomination and the affairs of the Pro-
bate Court will be well cared for as long
as he presides there.
Judge J. Frank Ruggles of Burke will
receive a denomination for assistant
Judge and there will be one vacancy here
as Judge George 7. Eastman of Walden,
who has held the office for four years,
does not seek a denomination. The
county has been fortunate in having
the services of two such men as Mr.. Rug
giles and Mr.. Eastman and we hope the
county convention will keep up the good
work.
The candidates mentioned to succeed
Judge Eastman are Frank NJ Page of
Groton, Quincy A. Whitehill of Ryegate
and Merton L. Hutchins of Stannard.

Northern Bankers Association.

About Is members of the Northern
Bankers association were guests Thurs
day of the Montpelier bankers while
on their midsummer outing Among the
special guests were George G. McCaus-
land, vice president of the First National
bank OF Boston, and H. X Halett,
president of the Atlantic bank of Boston.
The visitors were taken around the city
for an automobile ride in the forenoon
and in the afternoon to Barre quarries
by special train. The banks OF Mont
peler and Barre closed at noon to allow
the officers and clerks to go on the
excursion.
The banquet was pleasing feature OF
the days entertainment. Congressman
John w. Weeks of Newton, Mass, repre-
senting the 10Th Massachusetts district
in the national House of Representatives
gave an address on Recent Currency
Legislation" President John L. Bacon
presided and an address of welcome
was made by the Hon. J. A. DeBoer
Congressman Weeks invited questions at
the conclusion of his address and
| answered them in a very interesting
manner.

other communities. We note that a
total of two hundred and sixty-nine
children entered this contest and that
the winners named correctly from 80 to
AT varieties out of so birds, which is
very credtable performance How
many people are there in country Yer
HOMEGROWN people, too-who could
do as we'll in designating the particular
class of the feathered tribe? We dare
say there are comparatively few among
old and young, Although accustomed
to see the birds every day of our lives,
we are careless as to their kind, and,
more particularly, to the engrossing
interest that the study of them can
bring to one There is delight, as well
as valuable Information, to be gained in
this study of nature; and when the idea
is fostered in the young people there
cannot help being a good deal of benefit.
There is a certain uplift about the habit,
once formed, of intelligently~. viewing
nature that exerts an influence for good
in their lives, refnes their habits and
chastens their thoughts. Moreover, the
study of the bird kind tends to the pre-
servation of the creatures of the air, as
no student of the bird will allow the
wanton slaughter of his pets,
SO these are few of the advantages
of the course of nature study which has
been naugurated in st. Johnsbury. The
offering of prizes in similar contests in
other places of the state would not come
amss, perhaps Barre Times.

Might Help to Better Roads.

Commenting on the suggestion of the
Vermont automobile club that bad,
narrow or dangerous pieces OF highway
ought to be placarded, the Woodstock
Spirit of the Age offers the following
sensible suggestion:
THE proposition of the automobile
club of Vermont to placard bad places in
the roads is a good one. 1t will help the
traveller by horse or automobile. And it
may be good method of prodding the
towns in whose highways these places
are found. No road commissioner would
be pleased to see his especial domain
placarded with danger signals and he
might feel compelled to make it his bust
ness to find the proper excuse for their
removal. Put the signs up without
consideration for the injured sensibilities
of any one. They will help the good
roads movement, which needs all the
assistance it can get"
Despite the occasional critic OF this
movement, it is probably fact that the
owners of motor cars in Vermont are
just as earnest in their support and adj
vocacv of the good roads movement as
any horseman. They are also taxed
locally and by the state, so that their
side of the matter is an exceedingly
proper matter to consider
Horse and auto will soon dwell to-
gether in unity, and between them they
will give the propaganda for state and
national good roads a much-needed
boost in the immediate future Rutland
Herald.

Col. Harvey's Tribute to Mr.. Mackay.

Immediately after delivering his
notable address in St. Johnsbury on
Memorial day, Col. George Harvey left
for Nevada, to deliver an address at the
University of Nevada on the occasion OF
the dedication of statue to the late
John William Mackay. When 20 years
old, fatherless boy, he worked out"
his passage to California via the
Isthmus of Panama and by steady
work in the rich silver mines of that
great state he became at last one of the
richest men in this country. The statue
very properly represents him clothed in
the miners shirt and trousers and with
pick in his hand. AS Colonel Harvey
in his address on the occasion, pointed
out, the lesson of Mr. Mackay's life lies
not in the wealth he acquired but in the
work he did and in the character he had.
Thus it is that, lin these days, when it
has become common practice of the
unsuccessful and envious to decry acqui-
sition, if not, indeed, achievement, no
voice has been raised against this man"

Frank L. Fish withdraws.

The Free Press on Saturday printed
the following letter from Frank l.. Fish
in which Mr.. Fish withdrew as a candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
congressman from the first district:
THE result OF the recent caucuses held
throughout the first district makes it
evident that a majority OF the voters
desire the denomination of Mr.. Foster
at this time. To prolong the contest
now that the choice of the voters has
been ascertained through the primaries
can serve no good purpose and such
course might leave the party less united
for the coming election. Therefore, in
the interest of harmony and party unity,
| withdraw from the present contest
and ask the delegates elected for me not
to present my name in the convention.
81 take this opportunity to thank my
friends for all they have said and done in
my behalf and TO assure them that their
services are as much appreciated as
though the result of the caucuses had
been more favorable to my candidacy.
This is presidential year, when it is
essential that Vermont should give a
large Republican vote in September.
trust that nothing has occurred during
my candidacy to detract from this result
and hope that this withdrawal may in
some small measure at least add to the
strength of the party vote this fall. y

A LamOille County Case.

Caledonia county friends are interested
in the Lamoille county case of Parker &
Stearns VS.. Dr. T. r. Stiles which was
tried last week. This came up on an
appeal from justice court. While Parker
& Stearns were manufacturing hard
wood flooring at St. Iohnsbury a man
in the employ Of DR.. Stiles ordered a
quantity of hardwood flooring from
them for which the doctor refused to
pay. In the trial of the cause defendant
plead jurisdiction, claiming that the
court before the justice should be held in
st. Johnsbury rather than in Johnson
under the provisions of the statute
which provide that a company selling
goods, wares or merchandise, then re-
moving to another town shall bring col
lection suits before a justice in the town
where the sales were made. The plain
tiffs claimed that their principal place of
business was in Johnson and that this
sale to DR.. Stiles was only a casual sale
and did not come within the meaning of
the statute. The court, however, decid-
ed otherwise and directed that judg-
ment be entered for defendant to recover
costs. Exceptions were noted by plain.
tiffs and the case will doubtless go to
the supreme court.
