FOX CHASE THROUGH THE VILLAGE.
A stray hound stirred up a fox
somewhere on the hills Sunday and
early in the afternoon the fox came
running into the village. He was
first seen near Fred Whitney's, and
Fred took his gun to follow him up.
The exhausted animal ran here and
there in the village, looking for a
place to turn in and throw off the
hound, passing through the school
house yard, in sight from the win
dows where a service was being held,
and through E. @. Emmons' barn
yard. The fox was shot back of
Luther Spaulding's place, and
weighed l2t pounds. The owner of
the hound is not known.

Story.
Postmaster Leon f. Sampson OF
Hanover, N. H., who on Wednesday
night reported to the police that he
had been held up by an armed man
and robbed of $50 and a gold

invented the story of the armed man
in order to cover a shortage of $2S5
in his accounts with the government.
This money he declared had been
used to pay creditors, who had been
pressing him. His love for auto mo-
bling and other expensive amuse-
ments led him to exceed his salary
of $4,000 a year.
lie was arrested Thursday night, a
warrant having been issued by

THE HoLD-UP STORY.

Postmaster Leon F. Sampson OF
Hanover, N. H., formerly clerk in the
Woodstock postoffice, was held up at
the point of a revolver at about 9
o'clock Wednesday night in the post
office and robbed of $3.50 and gold
watch. The robber escaped,
During the evening Postmaster
Sampson and Assistant Postmaster
Keve were in the office and just be-
fore closing time Kewe went to the
bas ement to fix the fires for the night.
He left Postmaster Sampson sitting
at a desk in the back part of the
Office, arranging his cash. Sampson
hac placed $3.50 in envelopes, pre-
pan atory to depositing it in the SAFE
and had the envelope before him on
the desk, Suddenly he heard crash
of GLASS from the window at his side
and, turning his head, looked into
the muzzle of revolver, held by a
masked man standing on the oppo-
site side of the window.
Mr.. Sampson was compelled to pass
out the postoffice funds at the rob
ber's sharp demand, following the
cash with his watch, and then he
tainted, being found in a semi-condi-
ton by Kewe.
The alarm was given, but the i'm
perfect description given by the post
master affords little clew to the rob-
Der.
The robbery was particularly au-
dacious and must have been perpe-
trated by some one familiar with the
customs of the office, for in order to
reac h the window through which he
pushed his gun the robber had to go
around the block and into blind
alley in the rear of the building,
upon which the postoffice window,
which is barred with iron, opens.

AN UNUSUAL CASE
Suit to Determine Whether Lightning
or Wind Caused Damage.

There promises to be a novel and
interesting case at the March term
Of the Franklin county court, when
the case of j. A. and w. P. Ryan VS..
the Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance
Co. comes to trial, says the ST. Adams
Messenger. The suit is brought to
recover $4,000 damages for the loss
of big barn, the death of forty-one
head of cows, the injury Of thirteen,
COWS and two hurses, and damage to
ITO tons of hay.
The barn and stock were destroyed
last August duringa big storm, the
Ryans claiming that the barn was
struck by lightning and that they
are, therefore, entitled to recover I'M
der their policy. The insurance
company, however, takes the stand
that lightning played no part in the
destruction of the property and that
it was q result of the cyclone, and
on these grounds they will fight the
suit.
