CARS DIDN'T RUN
Because the Trolley Company Had No
Contract with Consolidated Co.


Contract with Consolidated Co.
The reason that the electric cars did
not run early yesterday morning was
because no new contract had been made
by the Barre and Montpelier Power and
Traction company with the Consolidated
Lighting company to replace the contract
which expired October 81. As the latter
company had not been notified that fur
ther service was desired, it did not start
the machinery of the plant which fur
nishes the power to the railroad; but
when it was learned by the Consolidated
company that further service was de-
sired, little time was lost in starting
up.
1t is likely that new contract win
be framed up to bridge over the time
until the trolley company gets It's new
power plant at Kinney's Mills running.
The traction company has been delayed
in getting its power plant to warking,
but expects to have things in l.aniag
order within a short time.

The DARK and Bloody Ground.

Before the white man began 10 ex-
plOre Kentucky. about the middle of
the eighteenth century the region was
vast hunting ground for many lGSge
tribes Of the south, north and east,
and between these tribes there was
continuous conflict for the possession
Of the rich game privileges. Later on.
when the white people settled IN the
territory, their struggle with the red
men was more bitter and persistent
than In almost any other section OF
the continent; hence the sangulnary
name that was given 10 the territory,

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
SEVERAL IMPORTANT MATTERS
TO CONSIDER THIS AFTER.
NOON-AN APPEAL.

An effort will be made by County
Attorney James II. Mathers this af-
ternoon to endeavor to get permis-
sion from the county commissioners
who are in session to retain both the
assistant county attorneys for some
time to come. The work OF the office
is entirely too much for two men to
attend to as all three are working
night and day to keep up and the
dockets of the old federal court have
not by any means been cleared, al
though a big hole has been made in
the number of cases that were on the
docket, The county court holds the
attention of one or more in the Office
all OF the time, and both the city
justices of the peace are kept busy
and one or the other OF the assistants
are kept in those courts.
