Death of Edward Sheldon

The remains of Edward Sheldon, an
old-time resident of Morrisville, we're
brought here Monday night and Tuesday
morning were inferred in Riverside Gem
etery beside his wife, who died in Norris
vile in 1881. A prayer by Rev. G. G. ST.
Glare of the Congregational Church was
followed by brief but very appropriate
remarks by Rev. DR.. V. M. Hardy,
who was pastor of the Congregational
Church here in 1875, when the deceased
united with the church, the late Mrs.
Sheldon joining by letter at the same
time. DR.. Hardy's remarks were of
reminiscent character and especially ap-
preciated by the family and many old
residents, who gathered to pay their last
respects to highly esteemed former res
ident. The bearers were S. R. Brackett.
G. W. Fitch, |. N. LeBaron and George
F. Earle.
The deceased was born in Middlesex,
VT, on Nov. II, 1920, and died in Lowell,
Mass, last Saturday at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. f. w. Morrison, after an
illness dating from last May, when he
suffered shock. Up to the time of his
last illness he was especially active, re-
tanning his eyesight and clear intellect
and physical health to remarkable de-
gree.
Many here will remember " Dr." Shell
don, as he was always called, as genial
whole-souled citizen, who was for good
many years we'll known resident of
Morrisville. He was clerk in the old
Clement store on Main street in the early
seventies and later worked as an ac.
couDtant and clerk in other stores in
town. He was at one time valued en-
plOye of this office. He left Morrisville
about eighteen years ago to live with his
children, since which time he had made
occasional visits to Morrisville, which
town he was always pleased to call his
home. He is survived by one brother,
w. c. Sheldon of Grand Rapids, Mich,
sister in Concordia, Kansas, and six
children: John Sheldon of Newport, Mrs.
F. w. Morrison, Miss Julia Sheldon and
Charles E. Sheldon of Lowell, Mass,
Mrs. E. F. Labounty and Miss Lettie
Sheldon of Revere, Mass. The remains
were accompanied here by the two sons
and Miss Julia Sheldon.

He Petted the Deer

The following pretty little sketch taken
from Montpelier paper will be es-
pecially interesting to our readers, as the
little LaForest boy formerly resided in
Morrisvile:
Gilmore LaForest, a bright boy of
twelve years, who was visiting in Berlin
during the week, went out in the fields at
the Town farm, where he was stopping
the other bay and found large doe
there. She was munching away on tod
der. He went up to the doe and put his
arms around he neck and gave her hug.
If he had had strong rope he could
have led her captive to the barn. The
doe didn't know but he would try it and
jumped few feet away and started eat
ing again. Just then a hunter came
along and told the boy to stand back until
he could shoot it. The boy obeyed and
the hunter took deliberate aim the deer
dropped in its tracks.

Bandidt Tells New Stories.

Kansas City, Feb. 1S.-The man who
tried to hold up Lawrence M. Jones,
the millionaire dry goods merchant,
with a dynamite bomb and revolver,
and who last-night said that his name
was Robert Benjamin Bledsoe, today
told the police that he left Dallas,
Tex, in 1900 and that since then he
had been around the world. He SAID
he was employed in 1904 by Ed Olney
at Pierre, S. D., and went from there
to Moorcroft, Wyo., where he worked
on w. b. Barney's sheep ranch. He
SAYS that his hair changes color, be-
ing sometimes reddish, sometimes
BLACK as at present. The police doubt
his stories.

Today confirms the story of Bledsoe as
Ito his identity. His wife and two
children live near here.

Mr.. Wellman is in no wise discour-

under favorable circumstances he can
reach the pole-and return. He has
not the least ambition to go there and
have his remains brought back by the
next discoverer, fifty years hence,
frozen as hard as a Siberian mastodon.
He wants to go to the pole and get
back, and expects to do so. The feats
of the Zeppelin airship have given him
great encouragement. The Zeppelin
ship is about forty per cent larger
than the Wellman ship, America, F."
which in turn is about forty per cent
larger than the next biggest ever

PERMANENT TARIFF C1MMISS On
Convention at Indianapolis Goes
Squarely on Record.

Indianapolis, Feb. IS demand for
the immediate creation Gy congress OF
a permanent tariff commission was
voiced in resolutions adopted by the
national tariff commission conference
convention. To -dispel any idea that
delay in tariff revision is sought, and
that the purpose of the gathering was
to delay action on the tariff by con.
gress, a provision was added urging
that congress during its special ses.
sion prepare and adopt revised tariff
to the best of its ability under present
conditions.
While the adoption OF the resolu.
tons was the subject of heated de.
bate, the arguments seemed based up.
on misunderstanding of the commit
tees report rather than radical differ
ences of opinion, and at the end the
original report was adopted with the
exception OF few unimportant
changes in phrasing.

ment of the Panama canal property
from the French owners.
The indictments were returned by
