One Of his duels, which attracted

Count Boni also fought duel with
Count Orlowski with swords in July,

fought by the count and NJ. de ROdays,
editor of the Figaro, in the Pare DIES

He said that he would willingly fight
a duel If there was honorable prov oca'

A MYSTERIOUS CASE
Much Superstition Mixed in With Hen

1t appears now that there has been
bad feeling for some time between

cas-, and Seid Sam, his fellow country
man Oh North street. When the lat
ter heard that Henry Joe was on the
war path early this week he expected
a call from him as on one occasion be.
fore, and got everything in readiness
to give him a warm reception. He al
so states that Henry Joe killed his
wife before he came to this country
and that the spirit of this wife haunts
him now and drives him crazy.
Henry Joe has told those about the
jail that he does not mind being con-
fined there as the spirit of his father
comes and stays with him every night.
He is evidently fond of pets as he has
had in his possession large white cat
for many years which seemed to be his
inseparable companion.
He will undoubtedly remain in Jail
until the effects of the dope is over
when he will probably be examined
as to his sanity.

PAUPER CASE ON TRIAL

Woodstock, Jan. 2:-The case Caven
dish VS.. Weathersfield was called but
trial could not be begun until yester
day morning The suit is to recover
S227.75 for the care of pauper named
David Robb. The defense was de-
clared to be that the mans mind was
so damaged that he was incapable OF
choosing residence. The old man is
said to be over so years old Is said to
have given his money into the hands
of AFRO or Hank" White and his wife
ito keep it away from his wife"
They had also adopted his son. They
are said to have hired the old mans
board in different places until 1t had
cost more than his money came to, and
then the town of Cayendish cared for
him, some of the time at the town
farm. There are many witnesses and
it is likely to be fought to finish. The
line of examination tends to bring out
the fact of senie dementia in David
Robb before his money gave out and
he was a town charge.

TITLE NOT CLEAR
Vermont Exhibits On Way Home From
Jamestown

Montpelier, Dec 30.--The three car
loads of Vermont exhibits at the
jamestown exposition are on their
way to Montpelier. Z. NJ. Goddard. a
member of the jamestown Exposition
commission, arrived home Sunday
night after seeing the exhibits on their
way. The Vermont building is closed
but care taker is looking after 1t in
connection with other State buildings.
When the Vermont building was
erected the commission secured an OPP
ton on the land on which 1t stands
and it was the intention of the commits
sion to sell the building and the land
after the exposition closed The title
to the property, however, is not clear,
as the exposition management did not
have the option recorded in season to
be effective Other states are in the
same fix with regard to their buildings.
A bill in chancery has been brought to
settle the question which is now with
the courts.

"Darst's" action in withdrawing
from the ticket will not iDjure our
chances In the least, but IT will
make 1t impossible for him to be
elected auditor. His name was
put on our ticket after another man
had already been decided upon and
1t was done because he had expressed
desire TO accept the nomination
for our ticket"
This statement from Auditor
Scherr was made after he had been
asked whether Darst's action in
withdrawing from the Scherr ticket
would hurt the chances of that
ticket In the coming election
Auditor Scherr was very positive in
his statement that Darst's action
would react against himself more
than 1t would against the Scherr
ticket and would cause the candi
date for auditor to be defeated.
WANTED HIS NAME ON.
"Mr. Darsts name was no. put
on our ticket" said Auditor Scherr,
"until after he had expressed his
Willingness TO accept the nomina
ton. In fact, The state committee
had already decided upon candi.
date for auditor, but was prevailed
upon by the friends of Darst and
named him. After he had allowed
mis- name to remain on our ticket
tor more than a week h. decided
that he could not accept the nomi-
nation. 1t is evident that pressure
was brought TO bear upon HIM that
be could not resist. | think Darst
was sincere in wanting to go on our
ticket and get all the votes he
could, but he weakened under the
pressure that was later brought to
bear upon him"
In this statement Mr.. Scherr gave
the impression that he had not
favored the selection of Mr.. Darst,
fearing that the Swisher ticket
would prevail upon him to decline,
making 1t necessary to nominate
another candidate.

If this is found to be true there should

The Dispatch News knows there
would be none on the part of Auditor
