BUSHRANGERS.
The Most Noted Of the Later Day Out
laws In Australia.

The Most Noted OF the Later Day Out
laws In Australia.
Bushrangers were originally run
away cOnvicts who took to the "bush,
as Australians call the backwoods,
and became holdup men. About the
year 1880 the bushrangers became So
numerous that they fought regular en-
gagements with posses and soldiers
sent out TO capture them, and this
form of crime continued sporadically
until within recent years. The most
famous of later rangers were the Kel
ly brothers. After many daring crimes
and hairbreadth escapes the kellys
actually held up the entire village of
Jerilderie, \. S. w, which had pop
ulation of 200. Ned Kelly looted the
bank of $4,000 while his three pals
held the men of the village cooped up
in their homes. Although there was II
special bushranging act in force at the
time authorizing the detention Of per-
sons supposed to be in communication
with the outlaws. the Kellys were not
heard of again for nearly year. when
they stuck up" the small town of
Glenrowan, in Victoria. Here they
were brought to bay. and three of the
desperadoes were shot dead in house
they had barricaded. While the leader,
Ned Kelly. was brought to the ground
with bullet through the legs. He
was hanged in 1880 All four of the
men were in the habit of wearing an
armor made of plowshares and weigh,

WHAT is DOING
THE WORLD OVER
A WORD ABOUT THE LEADING
EVENTS or THE WEEK.
FInaI Week of the camnaIan.

New York state is the storm center Of
politics this week. Candidates Taft and
Bryan are speaking at several points,
while Hughes and Chanler are fighting
for the governorship. Bryan and Chan
Ter spoke at an immense Democratin rat
ifcation in Madison Square Garden
Monday night. Taft visited New Haven
and other cities in Connecticut that day.
The newspaper polls all agree that in
dications favor Taft's election by q large
number of electoral votes. These esti-
mates are based on straw votes, canvasses
and q system Of percentages. On the
same scale, Chanler viii beat Hughes in
New York.
President Roosevelt and Samuel Com
pers, president OF the American Fedora
tion OF Labor, are engaged in a letter con-
troversy begun by the president, involv-
ing the use OF the injunction in labor
troubles and Tait'sxecord in that respect.

ernor for appointment. Some Of these

respondence or influence.

long and singularly blameless life
was finished in its earthly course at Y
o'clock Friday night. when Mrs. Clarissa
(Rice) Lamb passed from things temporal
to things eternal with the dawn of a new
day.
She was born in Weathersfield, daugh-
ter Of the late Amos Rice, and had
reached the advanced age of IS years,
months and 4 days. She married the
late Alden Lamb OF Granville and there
all her married life was spent. Upon the
death Of her husband ia 1872, she came To
Randolph and had ever since made her
home with her daughter, Mrs. W. b.
Wall. who gave her the tender care that
deep hlial affection prompted. A fort
night before her death, she went to stay
for awhile with another daughter, Mrs.
]. H. Holman. and in the midst of her
visit was taken with the fatal illness that
loosened finally her weakening hold upon
life. A third daughter, Miss Sadie
Lamb, came from Northlield to share in
the privilege OF caring for her and so,
watched over by her nearest and dearest,
she breathed her last.
Mrs. Lamb was a most Iovable woman.
whose face reflected the light Of a sweet
and gentle spirit. Her ways were ways
Of pleasantness, and on her lips were
words of kindness.
Besides her three daughters, she left no
near relatives except three nephews,
Frank, John and William Kendall Of
Lexington, Mass, and q niece, Mrs.
Annie Merrill Of Stoneham, Mass.
The funeral service was held at 10
O'Clock Monday morning at the Holman
residence on Prospect avenue. Rev. A.
L. Cooper. d. D., oficiated at the service,
in which he was assisted by Rev. Joseph
Hamilton. Beautiful floral tributes testi-
hed to sincere regard of many friends
The remains were taken to Granville for
interment and were followed to their last
resting place by Mrs. Wall, Miss Lamb,
Mr.. Holman and A. j. Lamb of North

r. |. DOUGLASS Apprehended.

n. g. johnson and s. B. wilmington.
well-known horsemen of West Lebanon,
N. H, motored to Randolph Friday in
search Of information regarding several
spans bought at their sales stables. The
next day MIR. johnson took Deputy Sher-
in d. d. Howe in the auto to Williams
town, " here the latter arrested Homer L.
Douglass on the charge Of having sold to
E. S. Tewksbury for $500 pair OF black
mares, on which q mortgage is held BY
the estate Of the late DR.. Edwin Porter Of
Mortified. Complaint Of dishonest deal
ing had been made to the states attorney
by Mr.. Tewksbury, who paid Douglass
for the horses that are now claimed by
the Porter estate.
At the hearing Monday morning, K. l.
Scott of Barre appeared as attorney for
Douglass, and R. A. Hoar. ESQ.,, of
Barre was also present. 1t developed
that Nov. IL, 1902, Douglass mortgaged
six horses to DR.. Porter, of whose estate
DR.. j. H. Judkins Of Mortified is admin
istrator, and was in court to present his
claims. .
The pair of black mares were sold three
years ago next April to Mr.. Tewksbury;
brown pair we're bought by the late A.
N Alexander Of Tunbridge. and second
black pair were found in Douglass pos
session. This last span was seized by the
sheriff and sold for the benefit OF the
Porter estate. So far as learned, in none
of these deals did Mr.. Douglass give the
purchasers any hint of the mortgages on
the horses they were buying. Mr.. Alex
ander divided the brown pair, and one
has come into the nominal possession Of
A. A. Priest, while Frank Eaton of Bethel
has heretofore considered himself the
owner Of the other. As the Alexander es-
tate is settled, Mr.. Priest and Mr.. Eaton
seem to be the ones to bear the loss con-
nected with the brown pair.
N. s. johnson had slso sold to Doug
lass pair Of gray horses, on which he
took mortgage, and Saturday they were
given up by Douglass and sent Sunday
morning to South Royalton.
As result of the hearing, Douglass
was fined s40O and was placed under
bonds to that amount. He was given un-
til Wednesday morning to secure bail
but, his attorneys not being able to at
tend to his case then, postponement was
made to this morning.
