Permanent Fish Hatchery q
Hold01.

Transactions for the establishment of
permanent fish hatchery at Holden,
which were under way before the death
of Senator Redfield Proctor, have just
been closed.
District Attorney Alexander Dunnett,
of st. Johnsbury, was in Holden last
week to pay to Charles Fl. Churchill,
Charles r. Holden, James Barnard, and
Edith Barnard the money for the land
sold by them to the government for such
hatchery The government gets 25
acres of land by the deal, buying consd-
cradle more than it actually needed for
the hatchery paraphernalia in order to
control certain springs and to prevent
pollution of feed streams. The total
amount paid was SO. 400.
Much of the lumber for the buildings
is cut and drawn and next season Will
see the hatchery in operation. A good
beginning was made this year, l75 900
brook trout and some thousands OF lake
trout aud land locked salmon fry being
sent out from the temporary station.
Holden is in the town of Pittsford
along Furnace brook.

Said He Set Fire Accidentally.

A well dressed tramp giving his name
as James Marley walked into police
court at Rutland the other day and said
that he wanted to give himself up to the
officers of the law because he set barn
on fire in Arlington a few days before,
destroying it with large amount of
hay. The man says that the setting of
the fire was purely accidental. He says
that he went into the place at night for
protection; that he fell asleep while
smoking his pipe and awoke to find the
hay all around him ablaze, being barely
able to escape with his life. He does not
know to whom the barn belonged nor do
the officers.
The case is out of the jurisdiction of
the Rutland police and the Bennington
county officials will be notified.

'Tf 1 had my life to live over again,
observed an old railroad engineer. I'D
be blessed If I wouldn't make my for
tune and tell all the railroads TO go TO
thunder. What chances a man misses
by being too scrupulous, That was my
trouble. There was a fellow 1 knew
who would have made a fortune, only
he got killed just when he was getting
ready to enjoy life Of ease
His stock in trade was pair Of
mules, wagon and a portable house.
They netted him considerable money.
OF course, he was constantly in danger
of being shot and eventually was. but
that gave a zest to the game.
His plan was to go ahead OF rail-
road survey party and squat on likely
places. through which the railroad was
to be built. One time he located in an
old graveyard and put UP his house be-
cause a surveying party had been
through it. This was at SteilacOon, in
Washington. Anyhow. il did not stick,
because of an old resident, who ven
tied his ancestors bones and per-
forated the cabin with bullet holes in
an endeavor TO kill the house owner.
The latter was driven out of Washing
ton by men whose homestead claims he
had jumped and later out of Oregon.
Finding his career was ended in these
states, ne went to New Mexico, jumped
an old homestead where a surveying
party had gone through, and was killed
instantly"
