of a fear that the suggestion might be
Misunderstood and be taken as an at

the matter stands today there is no
provision for supplying the demand
for information regarding the county,
1t being a physical impossibility for
the secretary of the board OF trade to
write personal letters to more than a
small fraction of the names received.
We believe the emergency may be
met by supplying copies OF the county

Sheriff Bullock arrived at the
scene Of the shooting and placed
the Garners under arrest and
brought them 10 jail.
The trouble out of which the
attempt to kill Mr.. Harrison a.
rose first grew out Of the whip
ping of an unruly boy by a.
young lady teacher at the Trip
school house. An effort was
made to Oust the teacher but her
course was upheld by a majority
of the residents Of the district.
This stirred up further feeling
in the neighborhOod. The Gar
ners were among those opposed
to the teacher and Mr.. Harrison
is one Of the directors and a sap
porter of the teacher in her
course.
There has been much bitter
feeling and some months ago the
Garners brought suit against
[ Walter Fuller. Another suit by
another party was brought
against Mrs. Harrison who was
greatly worried and depressed
by the matter and made an at
tempt upon her life while
wrought up and hysterical. The
suits were finally settled and
! dismissed.
/ On Washington's birthday
Harrison met Garner in the viii
liams Grocery Store and char
ged him with having circulated
stories about him. Harrison
talked bitterly about the matter
and warned him against seeking
10 do him further injury. Gar
ner walked away and the parties
have not met until the attempt
at killing was made.

BOYS MADE GOOD SHOWING.
Local High School Football Team Holds
Bellows Falls to 10 Points.

Football has been revived by Brattleboro
high school after being omitted from the
athletics of the school for three years.
The first game of the season was played on
the new athletic ground on the lslan =,
Saturday afternoon with Bellows Falls
high school and the visitors won by score
of 10 to 0. Despite the fact that the ma
iority of the Brattleboro team were new
to the game and were playing, their FIRST
game the defensive work OF the boys III
The second half kept Bellows Falls con
stantly moving to make anything IKE
showing.
Brattleboro chose the south goal and
Bellows Falls kicked off. 1t was right mere
that Brattleboro lost a lot of courage she
needed. Miner fumbled the ball ana
Leene. Bellows Falls quarterback, covered
the njeskin and it was showed across the
line by Riley. Leene failed to kick the
goal Brattleboro forced Bellows Falls to
hunt and for the remainder OF the han
Brattleboro by a series OF PUSHES earned
tho hall to within eight yards of the Bel
lows Falls goal. Adams, Brattleboro,ss
right half back, had his shoulder, injured
in the first half but continued IN the game.
Bellows Falls held for downs and by a
series of r,lshes carried the ball to within
six inches of Brattleboros goal line where
they were held for downs and Adams
punted the ball out of danger. The hall
ended with the ball in possession OF Brat
tleboro on her 40-yard line.
In the second half l'rattleboro kicked on
to Bellows Falls and the visitors put the
ball on Brattleboro's l5-yard line before
they were held for downs. Bellows Falls
secured the ball in an attempt at forward
pass and by series of short tackles and
end plays made their second touchdown:
The attempt at goal failed. The work OF
Bellows Falls's full-back, Putnam, and her
quarterback, Leene, was of the sort
that stimulated the rest of the team
Thompson and Miller played the game, for
Brattleboro, and the work, OF the whoie
team showed the material which with
more aggressiveness and coaching will make
it interesting for any high school team.
