FOIL SELF-DEFENSE PLEA
DEATH OF BANKER sAYLER WAS

Watseka, H., July 21.-The testi-

murder, tends to put to rout the self

Edward Meyer, D. H. Meyer, Ed

Crescent City, neighbors of the
Sayler family testified that they ar

minutes after the tragedy. On their ar
rival DR.. Miller was standing near
the doorway. Sayler's body was lying
on the floor in a small pool Of blood.
Mrs. Sayler was not in the room.
Each of the four declared there was
no ak nor other weapon in sight, al
though some hours later a bloody ak
with which DR.. Miller asserts he was
attacked was found beside Cayler's
body The state contends that this
evidence with conflicting statements
made by Mrs. Sayler and DR.. Miller
regarding the attack goes to prove

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1909-04-01

When out hunting everybody should
be dressed as gentleman, and the
most detrimental thing to fox hunting
is the modern innovation really gross
laziness and an insult to the hunt and
the mastery Of young gentlemen COM
ing out dressed in rat catching clothes,
shooting caps and fancy costumes of
their own, and much harm is done.
There is nothing the farmers dislike
so much as this habit, for they never
know whether such persons are rough
riders or gentlemen or people from the
towns or who they are galloping over
their land and over their fences.
There is but one proper and legiti-
mate fox hunting dress for gentlemen,
and that is red and black coat, white
breeches, top boots and high hat, and
certainly thirty years ago nobody
would have dared to come out dressed
otherwise. Where the hounds belong
to the country, landowners are en-
titled to wear the hunt button, but l
do not think that this entities the sub
scribers to wear it unless they are in
vited to do so by the master or by the
committee, as the case may be.-"The

Wild Animals Asleep.

1t is always a pretty sight to come
upon wild animals asleep, so graceful
are their attitudes. The fox curls him
self up with all the charming, luxuri-
Gus air of cat. He rests his head in
the lap of the two front pads, then
twines his brush neatly round over his
long pointed nose. He is light Sleep
er, but hares and rabbits are still more
easily reused.
We believe they sleep with their eyes
wide open. The uncapped lenses of the
eyes remain active through sleep, so
that any vision Of danger impressed on
the retina conveys an automatic alarm
70 the slumberer's brain. People are
sometimes puzzled when in open folds
they notice dozen or more hare forms
within a few yards of each other.
They may conclude hares swarm in
those fields. Probably the reason for
the many forms is that hare likes to
face the wind when sleeping and so
scratches out many forms to suit the
winds changing directions.--St. James
Gazette.
