J. z. KImban Aeaultted Of kIdnspnIna

}. =. kimbaii Acquitted Of Kidnapping
John F. KimbHli, reported in the eity
papers rs "a heavy property owner IN
Newport and Bradford. n. H." was ar
raigned in police court at Concord, n.
H., last Thursday on the charge OF kid
mapping his 16-year-old daughter, Alice,
from the home OF Mrs. A. p. Knights on
Kimbalps farm in South Sutton v ".
Sixteen years ago Kimball left his first
wife, who later obtained a divorce from
him, gave her infant daughter to Mrs.
Knights and, with an older child, Hor-
tense, departed TO Norton, Mass, where
she has ever since supported herself and
brought up her daughter. Mrs. Knights
adopted the baby left with her, cared for
the child as her own and had entire
charge Of her until Kimball appeared in
Randolph few years ago and began to
take good deal of notice OF the girl.
She went with him to visit his family in
Boston several times and finally was a
witness in the case Kimbsil brought
against his mother-in-law, Mrs. Anna w.
Reed, whom be charged with sequester-
ing bis goods
When Mr.. knights had his hand so
badly cut on a saw about two years ago
ana the chances were that be would not
be able to work for a long time, Kimball
persuaded the family to move to bis farm
near Bradford, n. H., where they are
now and where, evidently, Kimball's man
ner OF rearing his young daughte has not
INST with Mrs. Knights entire approval.
At the hearing in Concord Alice testi-
fed that she left the home Of Mrs.
knights in company with her father will
ingly, and that she either wanted to go
with him or to her own mother, although
she had no complaint to make OF the
of Mrs. Knights.
The latter claimed to hold adoption pa
pers, the legality Of which were ques-
toned. KimbaIl was acquitted OF kid
mapping and the case was dismissed when |
an agreement had been reached, whereby
the girl will be under the care OF both her
father and Mrs. knights.

Death Of Panhro 3. Pike.

Paphro ID. Pike, president and manager
of the Vermont Black Slate company at
Mortified, died at the Riverside House in
Montpelier Friday morning after long
illness from sugar diabetes. The disease
showed itself first in a malignant condi-
tion of toe Of his left foot which had to
be amputated at the Heaton hospital last
fall, bat the operation proved only tenn
porary check to the ailment in its prog
ress towards fatal termination.
Mr.. Pike was born in Stowe, May 3,
1S49, the only son OF Joseph and Amy
Pike, and is survived by four sisters,
Mrs. Nathaniel King, Mrs. Jason Dole,
Mrs. Carrie Hubbard of Mortified and
Miss Angie Pike OF Randolph. June 10,
1873, he married Ellen NJ. Oimsted Of
Middlebury, who is sister of Mrs. A.
A. Wainwright of this village.
Mr.. Pike had an active business career
and was located for varying lengths Of
time in different places, notably at spen-
Ger and Worcester, Mass. Thirty or
more years ago he opened a tin shop In
Randolph in the Seth Flint building,
which used to stand on the present site OF
the Thurston block, but after a short pc
riod he sold out to ID. G. Woodward and
removed to Northfield. While here he
invented a new joint in piping but never
did much with it. In January, 1909, Mr..
Pike returned to Mortified, after an alb
sence OF several years and entered the slate
quarrying business as the principal mem
Der OF the Vermont Black Slate company,
into which corporation no small amount
OF outside capital was invested through
his efforts. The company branched out
under his management, put in
a good equipment and his attention was
needed in the conduct OF affairs
when III health interfered with bis plans |
Mr.. and Mrs. Pike spent last winter in
Florida for bis benefit and would have
gone again this winter had he been well
enough to take the journey. About the
hrst Of this month they closed their
house in Northfield and established them
selves at the Riverside in Montpelier,
hoping that there be might find relief.
The funeral was held in Montpelier at
1 80 o'clock Saturday afternoon and the
body was taken to Boston for cremation.

Three Irishmen were crossing the
bridge Of Cork. and one of them, hap
pening to look over the parapet, felt a
strong desire to touch the water But
they could not see how it was to be
done.
At last it was suggested by one of
them tina: by hanging on to the feet of
each other they might accomplish what
they desired. They made the attempt.
but found that their combined length
was not quite sufficient to reach the
water.
Then the one at the top cried to the
undermost, "Arrah now, Paddy. hold

my honey. we shall reach It." And
they did.-I.ondon Fun.
