An interesting case of tax dodg-
ing has come to light through the
appointment of Herbert B. Chamber
lain as a member of the Brattleboro
board of listers by the selectmen.
Mr. Chamberlain was turned down
at the town meeting, after having
served fourteen years, and another
man was elected in his place. A few
days ago 2. S. Hall resigned from
the board and the name of Mr..
Chamberlain was suggested for the
place, but there was considerable
opposition, principally on account
of Mr.. Chamberlain connection
with the estate of the late Col. Will
liam Austine. Upon investigation the
selectmen found that Mr.. Chamber
lain's connection with the estate
was entirely honorable, and they
authorize the publication of the
facts which were at the bottom of
the opposition to Mr.. Chamberlain.
Colonel Austine was retired army
officer and veteran of three wars
and lived alone in the Brooks House
many years. Mr.. Chamberlain was
his secretary and was a beneficiary
under his will TO the amount of
$4,000. Colonel Austine's tax list
was $4,000, but after he died his
estate inventoried at $4,000. Mr..
Chamberlain was criticized for not
getting more of the estate into the
tax list. 1t appears that after Col.

Behind doors that were not only
closed but barred, locked and barri
caded and the keyhole stuffed with
paper, the Glover club held a most
extraordinary session Wednesday
evening. This organization was
formed primarily by a number of Sc
date married ladies for the purpose
of Willing away various winter eve
ming at whist, and so far as the rec
ord shows the original program was
carried out with but slight varia-
ton until last evening. The monot-
ony of whist and tea had become
tiresome. The Glover ladies yearned
for something a little out of the
general run of cards, dainty refresh
ments and more cards. If reports
are to be trusted the monotony was
shattered in a manner that left lit
tie to be desired. A husband of one
of the Glover club ladies says that
so far as he has been able to learn
every member appeared at the
meeting in mans attire. Several of
the women wore full dress suits but
there were enough male character
make-ups to brighten up the assem-
blage.
