bearing Mrs. James II. Boyle, one of the
alleged kidnappers Of Billy whitla, was
speeding through Valencia this morning
on the way TO Mercer, where she with
Boyle will be tried on the kidnapping
charge, the woman tried TO jump from
the car. But her attempt was blocked
by brakeman who slammed the door
in her face. Mrs. Boyle then ran into
a lavatory and was in the act Of crawl
ing through the window when she was
caught aud pulled back into the car.
Mrs. Boyle denies that she Is the
daughter Of William McDermott. a
Chicago fireman, as was rumored. Mr.
McDermott is expected TO arrive at
Mercer this afternoon in an attempt TO
identify the woman. When shown evil
dence to support the statement that il
was his daughter who was in custody
Mr.. McDermott told OF the wayward
life that the girl had led since leaving
home.

Mcclellan Found Guilty In
County Court
OF ROBBING MAT MATSON
The Next Case for Trial Will Be State
VS.. Strong, Charged with Assault
Several Cases Mol
Pressed.

After being out four hours, thc jury
in the case of State vs.. Mcclellan OF
Barre, charged with grand larceny in
stealing 500 from Mat Matson last sum
mer, brought in verdict of guilty in
Washington county court at Montpelier
last night. The case has been on trial
during the greater part Of the week,
being prosecuted by States Attorney
Gates, assisted by William Wishart.
while Attorneys VI. NJ Gordon and A. A.
Sargent defended. The chief point ad-
vanced by the defense was that Matson
was drunk on the day in question and
did not know but he might have lost the
pocketbook. The case went to the jury
shortly before noon yesterday, and the
verdict was brought in at about four
o'clock in the afternoon. The case viii
probably be taken to supreme court.
The next case for trial win be that
of State VS.. Fred Strong, who is charged
with assault on G. B. Evans, a former
sheriff of the country, at Waterbury
last fall, it being alleged that the assault
was made with the intent to rob Mr..
Evans. The court took an adjournment
at noon to-day until Monday.
Several cases were mol pressed to-day.
The two cases Of State VS.. John Scam
pini for selling and the same for keeping
were mol pressed because of the death
Of the respondent, and the same cause
was responsible for the mol pressing of
the case OF State VS.. Charles Pelkey,
charged with larceny, since Scampini was
the principal witness against Pelkey.
The case Of State VS.. Charles Scott, al
legged selling, was also mol pressed, on
the ground that the respondent is out
Of the state. State VS.. Croteaux, charg-
ed with murder, was mol pressed because
the respondent is insane. Croteaux was
charged with numbering Peter Verron at
East Montpelier several years ago.
The two eases Of State vs.. Joseph
Rizzi and Joseph Bianchi for selling"
from raid; are hanging fire,
the states attorney having been prom
ised that they viii appear in court to
plead guilty to the charge.

SAP STARTED TODAY.
First Real Run of The Season--Much
Snow in The Woods.

Sap started to run from the naples
in the earlier sugar orchards today. and
it was the first day that it could be
said that the sap really ran. There has
been a dribble from occasional trees
which were tapped week ago, but
nothing to look like a run" F. c.
Little, who tapped some time ago start
ed to gather today for the first time. and
he got good quantity. Ii there comes
thaw and followed by freeze it is
expected that there will be a good run
Of this fluid.
This is one of the latest seasons in
Vermont for years, and people will
probably be sugaring well into April if
there Is the average length season. In
the back orchards there is still a great
deal of snow, averaging from three to
four feet deep. Part way down in this
accumulation is a hard crust an inch
or two thick which makes team travel
exceedingly difficult. The crust is so
hard that a shovel will hardly 20
through it. Those sugar makers who
haven't kept their paths in the woods
cleared win have quite a LOT Of work
before they get TO sugaring ct al.

HORSES BIG LEAP
SAVED CHILD'S LIFE
Little Frances Cobb, 10 Years Old, Stood
Directly in the Path Of the Runaway
Animal, But the Horse Jumped
Over Her Head.

Water supt. Russcll's horse thought
that 1t was time for supper last evening
and although he was hitehed by weight
at the top Of the Prospect street hill
he decided not to wait for the driver
but started toward the full.oat bin at
Cutters livery stable. In fact, II was
supper time; and the driver didn't know
IL. The equine made decorous descent
OF the hill and was going all right, with
out a skip or break, until, having
reached the Barre railroad tracks, an
engine set up such a shufliing noise that
il startled the beast. Then he broke
into a run.
The horse made the turn around the
city hall onto Main street In good style
and was making the turn around the
park for the stable when hydrant stood
in the way. The horse cleared the by.
drant, but the sleigh didn't. So the
sleigh stopped. by this time the horse
was really scared, and he streaked il still
harder for the stable, going up Wash
ington street on wild run; and here
is where the strange feature OF the story
comes in. A little girl carrying pack
age Of eggs was walking up the sidewalk
and directly In the path OF the horse
as he turned into the driveway past the
City Hotel. 1t seemed to the observers
that the child would surely be struck
and killed.
But the horse, having what is some
times accredited to humans as "horse
sense made tremendous spring just
as he reached the terrified child and
leaped clear over her head. landing in a
snow heap some ten feet beyond. Scram-
bling TO his feet, the beast completed the
trip to the stable without further adven-
tiIre, getting the good meal of oats that
he started after. That the girl escaped
entire injury, as she did, was really
remarkable. The package OF eggs did
not fare so we'll; she dropped them in
her fright and the hens will have to lay
some more. The sleigh got two broken
cross bars, and the harness will stand
little patching.
When Supt Russell heard Of the trou-
Bile the wasn't with the team, he went
TO the home of the little girl on Beckley
Court, and found that she was not hurt
in the least. She is Frances Cobb, a
ten years old miss, and daughter of Will
liam Cobb. She got horrible fright
as she saw the runaway coming toward
her, but soon recovered after being taken
home by j. A. Field.
