FOURTH AT SALISBURY
Village Improvement societys Elabor
ate Preparations

SIouth SALISBURY Is certainly very
enthusiastic concerning their forth
con!iing Fourth OF July celebration.
Usually they have quite a number
OF decorated teams In the parade but
thils year the enthusiasm is much
grdater and more than double the
number of teams have been promised
anH the decorations too are expected
to be more elaborate.
irhe peg race which has always
been an interesting feature Of the af-
tefnoon sports has been changed so
that II takes place in the forenoon.
the time consumed In the race by the
increased number of horses entered
makes it necessary to hold 1t i'm the
forenoon. There is nothing during
people than this race. Most every
body has a weakness for horse race
and this race adds the fun of harness
ing and starting while fire crackers
and the crowds man assisting CD
remarks add to the fun and the ner-
vousness of both horse and driver and
at times 1t is difficult to know just
which end of the horse will eventu-
ally get hitched into the thills.
The chicken dinner is always sue
cess. Farmers are always generous
and send In bounteous supply OF
everything necessary for a full grown
meal while the ladies have learned
by experience how to serve it and
have earned the reputation of serv-
ing all that could possibly be desired
and only charge 25 cents.

NEHAsANEE HELD UP
Observation Car Boarded by Five
Tramps.

| Rutland July THAT a gang Of
outlaws has been at work IN the state
was made evident yesterday afternoon
when the combination observation car
and locomotive Nehasanee of the Rut.
land railroad was held up by five sup
posed tramps near the long bridge
over the river. mile north of Bel
dens. What happened after the Ne
hasanee was boarded could not be
learned last night, the railroad men
being secretive regarding the matter.
Evidently, however, kilograms were
sent to headquarters in this city and a
special train was made up, leaving
for the scene of the holdup. On board
were Sheriff Il. S. Whitaker and Pol
icemen Puryea and Grin Packard.
Deputy Sheriff Pascal Ricci and Spec
ial Officer John W. Brislin. Several
other officers were picked up along
the line until the force totalled about
nine men. The special arrived at Bel
dens an hour after the holdup.
On arriving the officers went i'm
mediately TO Brooksville, near Bel
dens and searched the town and the
surrounding country in all directions.
Two men were placed under arrest.
but gave satisfactory accounts of them
selves. and later were released. The
special train. returning arrived in this
city at $3.50 o'clock last night but
some of the officers remained near
Beldens and the search was said to
be still in progress at late hour.
| The Nehasanee, which left this city
early yesterday afternoon was return
ing south when 1t reached the bridge.
A signal had been placed on the track
by the tramps and the locomotive
came to a standstill when 1t was
boarded by tramps Nothing could
be learned last night of what immed-
lately followed.
On. Sunday an official. of the Rut-
land railroad received BLACK
Hand" letter demanding the sum of
5000 and threatening that the long
"fll' leading across Lake Champlain
north Of Burlington to the island OF
North Hero would be blown up with
dynamite If the money was not paid

iously but at the same time every
precaution was taken to prevent
such an occurrence.

IN THE FLOODED WEST
J. G. Hudgins Back From a Trip
Throuah the Southwest.

]. George hudgins arrived home re-
Gently from twelve weeks trip
through the principal cotton
growing section of the south and re-
ports a successful trip. On account
Of the long continued rains In early
spring and advice by the cotton grow
ers association to the planters to cut
the cotton acreage the planters ex-
pect higher prices for the 1908 crop.
In Oklahoma the cotton crop was al
most entirely destroyed by the floods
and tornadoes in May. Mr.. Hudgins
was In Kansas city June %. The
food there was worse than the press
gave out In the packing house dis
trict the Kaw river had risen 80 feet,
not a single head of live stock had
reached the city In ten days and he
was told that ten thousand employees
were idle on account of the floods.
Mr. Hudgins' ride from Kansas City
TO st. Louis on the Wabash railway,
two hundred and seventy miles, was
by day light arriving in st. Louis
eight hours late. He inquired OF the
conductor the cause OF the delay and
was told that the track for miles was
covered with water.
It's beautiful farming country be
tween the two cities but on this trip
he saw miles and miles of wheat
ready TO harvest covered with water
two and three feet deep as II looked
from the car window. Last year har
vest hands received as high as three
dollars per day and were scarce al
that. The price this season is one
seventy-ive and two dollars per day
The railroads in Missouri Kansas
and Illinois refuse 10 give special
rates to harvest hands as in former
years on account of the two cent rate
law In force In those states.

Will Sue for Damages.

Ex-Judge Howard Carrow and Lawyer
William j. Kraft Tuesday instituted suit
in the Supreme Court for $50, 900 damages
on behalf of Elizabeth F. Sontgen, of
Moorestown, widow of Carl P. Sontgen,
who. with two others, was killed In the
wreck on the elevated railroad at Camden
December 9th. The suit is against the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Mr.. Sontgen was 30 years of age and held
very responsible position, at a salary of
8, 800 year, and his business prospects
were very bright.
This is the first suit growing out of the
wreck. and 1t is expected that many others
will follow Several of the score or more
hurt have settled with the railroad COM
pany and others have refused all offers,
and big damages will be sought
Mr.. Sontgen's body was the last OF the
three killed taken from the telescoped
smoking car of the Pemberton train. One
side of his head was crushed In, and it
was at first thought that the body was
that of a man named Allen. Later the
correct Identification was made through
cards found in the victims pockets.
The injured and relatives of those who
were killed-Theodore Webster, Jacob
Garbarino and Mr.. Sontgen-see in the
findings of the State Railroad Commits
sion an easy path to big.damages. The
Commission branded the signal system as
faulty and strongly censured brake
man Thomas of the Atlantic City train,
and engineer Pierce of the Pemberton
train-the former for failing to display
red lights and the latter for not running
his train slower after passing the caution
signal.
