Yesterday afternoon in Brook
Ign a woman made a vigorous attempt
to prevent Officers Neagle and Fitz-
gerald from putting her husband into
the patrol wagon. While awaiting

her might to have the patrolmen relax
their hold on the man and when her
strength began to give out. she APP
pealed to the sympathy Of the officers.
Her cries could be heard a block
away and as she finally saw her hus-
band placed in the black maria" and

GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE
Local Attorneys Do MOI Want
tbe Appointment.

There Is said to be plot on foot
to overthrow Attorney M. ]. Byrne's
proposition for the appointment of =
local grievance committee OF the bar
association. There was to be s
meeting Of the lawyers before shorg
calendar in the district court to-day
and this motion Of Mr.. Byrne's made
at bar meeting last Saturday and ia
bled, was to have come up. Mr.
Byrne was on hand to push his mo-
ton through and have a committee
appointed, but there were not
enough lawyers present to satisfy
President John O'Neill that 1t would
be wise to call a meeting. That is
where the plot to overthrow Mr.
Byrne's motion is said to come in.
The lawyers stayed away knowing
that owing to their absence a meet
ing of the bar would not be held.
There is said to be another reason
however, and that is, that no law
yer cares to be appointed on such a
committee. Most of the lawyers
believe the county committee is suf.
ficient, but Mr. Byrne still favors a
local committee.

WORK FOR EVERYONE
Who is Able 10 Handle The Pick
and Shovel.

The number of able bodied men
still out of employment is large, but
this will not be so much longer.
With all the work of the street,
sewer and water departments being
done by local labor it does seem that
every man who is able and willing
to work with a pick and shovel
ought to find something to do. A
man who is not able to pitch in and
do this will have trouble finding EN-
ployment out of doors, but this is
something the city government can
not help, Local labor will have a
sort of trial here this year. If it
works we'll it may continue right
along, but in case it should prove
otherwise, as some predict, then it
will be many a day before it will be
tried again, so that it behooves ev-
erybody who believes in Datronizing
the home merchant and the home
laborer to busy himself IN seeing
that things are attended to In a
proper manner.

Look for No Settlement.

Barre, VT, March 2S.-That the
Barre granite owners have given up
hopes of an early settlement of the
strike which has kept their quarries
practically closed during the past
month, seems to be indicated by the
decision of several to stop the
pumps in the quarries, thus letting
them fill with water. The continu-
ance of the strike has resulted in an
exodus Of foreigners from this city
and other quarrying centers affected
by the strike.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Edwin S. Mott Of Deep River Found
With Clothing Burned of.

Deep River. March 2s.-Edwin s.
Mott, aged Sc years, farm hand,
was burned to death yesterday after
noon In the western part Of the town
while with Socrates Bushnell fight
ing a brush fire which was getting
beyond their control. Both men
were fighting the fire when Bushnell
ran to an adjoining lot to stop its
Roadway in that direction. When
he returned he found Mott dead. with
the clothing entirely burned from his
body.

have suffocated Mott, for Bushnell
heard him give no call for help. Mott
was unmarried and leaves two sis
tiers, Mrs George L'Hommideau OF
Clinton and Mrs William Kelsey OF
Ivoryton.
