Sent to Federal Prison.

Leon c. Fuller of East Hardwick, who
has been in Jail here since last summer,
charged with sending obscene postal
cards and literature through the mails,
was taken to Burlington, Friday, by
Deputy Sheriff Worthen. The case
created more than ordinary attention
from the fact that Fuller was arrested
upon the complaint of Anthony Com
stock of New York.
The case was tried at the February
term of the United States circuit and
district courts Mr.. Comstock testified
before the grand jury in the case on
Wednesday. Fuller pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to serve two years at
hard labor in government penitentiary
at Atlanta, Ga. He was taken to Rut-
land, Saturday, and will be taken later
to the Atlanta institution. Fuller is the
first prisoner committed from Vermont
to an institution outside of the state. A
law became operative about a year
and half ago providing that long term
prisoners be sent to the government
penitentiaries. Short-term prisoners
serve their sentences in the state insti-
tutions, as formerly.

Col. HaweS' Birthday.


Col Alexander G. Halves OF San Fran
cisco, who recently called on his ST.
Johnsbury friends and relatives, returned
home in season to celebrate his 10Th
birthday. His friends did not propose
to let this occasion pass without notice,
and Raphael WE'LL invited a score of
them to the world famous Bohemian
Club on the evening of Feb. 20. One of
the speakers at the banquet was Presi-
dent Jordan of Leland Stanford Univer-
sity, and Mayor Taylor read the follow
ing poem, which abounds in friendship
and kindness:
So Halves is seventy-six today,
And we are ranged in love around him,
With heartiest mood our debt to pay,
So hugely grown since first we found him
Since first his kindly face.
Which kindler beams despite Times ire;
Since first his manhoods strength and grace
Proclaimed all noble, great desire.
Within his heart the birds of youth
Such songs still so sweety singing,
His years entranced feel not the ruth
That oft some weaker soul is singing.
Not old he is expect in deed.
And in the ways of various learning,
And in Bohemia's heartsome creed
OF fellowship, all other spurning.
Along the paths of duty he
Has borne serenely every burden
And now, with spirit calm and free
He modestly receives his guerdon.
Then hail. all hail! to him, our friend;
Fill to the brim your willing glasses,
And pray that distant be the end
When he from earth in triumph passes
Col. Halves, as many of our readers
know is a native of Barnet and probab-
ly the oldest living graduate of the GALE
DOMAIN office. He has many friends in
this section who extend hearty congrat-
ulations and wish for many morey years of
a useful and happy life.

Trouble at the W0OdSviIle National
Bank.

Bank.
Cashier Allen Short on His Accounts
nearly Twenty Thousand Dollars
The Bank Perfectly Solvent and Doing
Business as Usual.
The public were much surprised last
week to learn that Herbert w. Allen
cashier of the Woodsville National Bank
and formerly of St. Johnsbury, was
short in his accounts about $4,000
Mr.. Allen had used the funds in the
British Lumber Company. Upon the
discovery of the shortage Mr.. Allen
resigned as cashier and Jerry Abbott,
the. treasurer of the savings bank, was
made cashier.
Mr.. Allen has many friends in this
town and vicinity who will sympathize
with him in his troubles, and they are
glad to know the money was not used
for speculation, but to tide over the
affairs Of another corporations
The following statement appeared in
the last issue of the Woodsville News
The directors of the Woodsville Nation
al Bank authorize the following state
ment upon the completion of the exami-
nation by the National Bank examiner,
N. S. Bean, in which shortage was dis
covered in the accounts of the cashier
The funds of the bank taken bv the
cashier amount to $19,50O. Of this
amount the bank is protected by sure
ty bond in the sum of $4,000. Mr..
Allen has turned over to the bank in
terests he has in various properties,
which will cover good part ifnot all of
the balance. The bank loss will there
fore be trihing if any. The bank has
surplus and undivided profits of $4,000
so that if there should be slight loss it
will not affect the bank. Upon the dis
covery of the shortage Mr.. Allen prompt
" rendered his resignation and the same
has been accepted by the directors.
Mr.. Bean has concluded his examina-
ton, and so far as the bank is concerned
the matter is closed. The capital stock
is $4,000, and the surplus and I'M
dlvided prontS are, as stated above,
$4,000, so that the loss to the bank
will be comparatively small.
Mr.. Allen was arraigned before the
United States Commissioner at Litteton
on Wednesday evening, and was held
in the sum of $4,000, and bail was
furnished
In connection with the above it should
be stated, that any shortage which has
been found in the National bank, does
not in any way effect the assets and
soundness of the Woodsville Guaranty
Savings Bank. The two banks are two
separate and distinct institutions and
all their affairs have been kept entirely
separate, The Savings Bank Commits
sioners have spent three days in exami-
nation of the Savings Bank, at the same
time the National bank examiner was at
work on the affairs of the National in
stitution.
