day were among the busiest days of the
year for the local freight department of
The Central Vermont railroad. The con.
tinual arrival of live stock and arti-
cles for exhibition at the fair together

County court adjourned at noon
last Saturday and will reconvene at
Newfane today on the arrival of the
train from Bratleboro. The adjourn
ment came about partly on account of
the Valley fair and partly because of
death in the family of Judge w. W.
Miles. Several witnesses III the Gar
field Boynton case had been examined
when adjournment was taken. Both OF
the parties in this suit are London.
Jerry men and the action is one of al
eyed fraud in connection with horse
jrade.
The lock on the town jail was
picked Sunday night, and when Deputy
Sheriff c. |. Knapp visited that institu-
ion Monday morning with breakfasts
or two men, the door was open and the |
men had departed. The paddock hung
n its staple. Chief of Police Evans /
listed the lookup at Monday morn
ng, just before going home, and the
risoners were secure then. He be- +
ewes some friends of the prisoners =
-ent to their relief. The lock was not y
roken, and it is apparent that the y
atch did not work and that the lock y
-as removed without difficulty. The p
NO men were employed on the dixie on a.
Test river. They got into an alterca- u
on in their room on Elliot street Sun ~ =;
Nv night and were arrested for intoxi- =,
