MAY HAVE AN ARMORY
Possibility That Norwich University
VIII Receive Gift OF New Building
This Year.


Mortified, September 26.-1n an
interview given to repres-
entative of the Journal President
Charles H. Spooner, of Norwich Uni
versity, said that there was a posi-
bility of an addition being made to
the university during this fiscal year
in the form of an armory building
gift of one, or more, of the alumni.
There has been talk at the Univer-
sity for along time of building an ar
mory for drilling purposes, as there
has been talk there of the needs of
gymnasium and mess hall, but moth
ing has come of it until recently when
Mr.. Spooner has found means, which
he has reason to believe will result in
the erection of the armory building.
Mr.. Spooner said that the armory,
when built, will occupy position fac
ing the parade ground and adjacent
to the present administration building.
"The structure would be used" said
the president, "for drilling in winter
with the infantry while a riding hall
for the cavalry would be included in
the basement" The cadets are very
anxious to see such building on the
hill for it would mean that they could
use the drill hall for basket ball, a
game which they cannot play at the
present time for lack of proper facil-
tiles.
In referring to the construction of
such building, President Spooner
declared that it was by no means sure
but that conditions were such as to
expect one before the present year is
out" The financing of the affair will
lie with an alumnus or the alumni of
the institution.
In referring to the work of the
school tbs year, Mr.. Spooner said:
There is about the usual enrolment
here this year, in spite of the fact that
many new facilities have b. cen added
| during the past year including the
| horses for the cavalry and additions
to the curriculum. This may be ac-
counted for, however, by the fact that
the entrance requirements have been
raised thus shutting out many stu
dents who would have been able to
pass easier examinations. We have a
better class of students this year
though, | mean better prepared. We
! have been fortunate in securing the
| services Of Prof. John J. Long, of the
Sheffield Scientific School of Yale, to
take the place of Prof e. A. Shaw,
who has obtained years leave of alb
sence from the mathematical depart
fnent. There Is still vacancy In the
department Of physics. l believe that
we have started on the year of our
greatest prosperity with better racili.
ties and ampler equipment and finer
prepared material to work on than
ever before inthe history of the Uni
versity."

FIRE LOSS OVER $4,000.
West Fairlee Visited by Destructive
Blaze Saturday Night.

West Fairlee, Sept ga fire
which broke out about midnight last
night destroyed the store occupied
by Clarence Little, Joseph Rules
house and barn, and the old DR.. How
ard place, occupied by Walter Rob-
inson, and his mother. The loss is
estimated at $4,000 or $4,000.
While passing the store Milo Keser
saw the flames breaking through the
roof, and summoning help, the occu-
pants of the building were warned
Just in time to escape with their
lives. Nothing was saved from the
building. A tenement over the store
was occupied by Mrs. Robbins and
her son while Mr.. Little the proprie-
tor Of the store, occupied a room in
the attic. 1t is thought possible that
an overheated stove was the cause of
the fire.
There was an insurance of $1,000
on the store building, and "a 900 on
the stock. Joseph Rule carried an
insurance of $500 on his house. There
is no fire protection here. One year
ago last Tuesday most of the business
part of the village was destroyed by
fire and Mr.. Little was burned out at
that time.

cation and found the door leading in
to the room locked. They returned
down stairs and gathering up their
money and valaubles escaped from
the house, as Mr.. Winchester was un-
armed and did not care to cope with
the intruder. Charles A. Stockwell
was met q short distance from their
house returning from a coon hunt,
and he went to the Winchester home.
At his approach the burglar fled =.
Tracks were discovered about the

THE FIRST PRINCIPAL
Hon. Horace w. Bailey Tells of Rev.
Simeon z. Chester, First Head OF
Montpelier Seminary.

The following interesting article on
"The First Principal of Montpelier
Seminary" Is contributed to the Jour-
nal by Hon. Horace w. Bailey, of New
bury, who is an authority on Vermont
historical matters:
In the fall of 1884 old Newbury Sem
mary opened its doors. The last term
of school at Newbury was in the
spring of 1868, ending July Is. Dur
ing those years the school was pros
porous, reaching high water mark in
1852, when 53S different pupils were
registered. The fall term of that year
800 students were enrolled. Then
Joseph E. King was principal. He is
still living and at the head of the
Fort Edward IN. Y. Institute
Twelve different men served as prin-
cipals during this time. Among the
number, and the last at Newbury was
Rev. Simeon f Chester. Mr.. Chester
came with the school to Montpelier in
the fall of 1868 and remained at the
head of the school on Seminary Hill
for two years. Mr.. Chester was born
at Brooklyn Ohio, June !, 1924 grad
uated from Wesleyan University in
1852, and followed teaching until he
came to Newbury After leaving Mont
pelier he went to Springfield, Mass
where he was at the head of the Elm
Street Grammar School for twenty
eight years. He died Sept. list. 1t may
truly be said of Mr.. Chester that he
was the connecting link between the
two schools-between the past and the
present. He was the Omega of the ole
Newbury Seminary-The Alpha of the
Seminary Hill School, 1t may not be
uninteresting after the lapse of forty
years to be advised as to the princi
pals salary, and the general prosper
ity of the school, At Newbury, the
last year of it's prosperous life,
quote from letter received from Mr.
Chester nearly nine years ago: my

ATTACKED BY BULL.
Man Tossed Many Feet in Air Sus-
tains Broken Shoulder

Brattleboro, Sept. ga three-year-
old Ayrshire bull one of the cattle
exhibited from the Mt. Hermon School
at Mt. Hermon, Mass, went on ram
page in the Brattleboro freight yard
this afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock,
while he was being unloaded from a
freight car to be taken to the Valley
Fair grounds, and as a result Frank
Heylar lies at the Brattleboro Memoir
ial Hospital with a broken shoulder
and other injuries, while Henry Brown
local liveryman, is minus one of his
horses.
The bull, a monstrous animal, was
shipped from Greenfield, Mass, to
Brattleboro this morning; he had
been a part of the Mt. Hermon School
exhibit at several fairs and had al
ways been considered harmless ami
NAL. This morning he exhio tied other
tendencies, and while being pushed
aboard the car at Greenfield, he in
| jured keeper. This afternoon when
the car holding the bull reached Brat
tieboro, Helyar entered the car and
started to lead the animal out into the
road by a staff There were four cows
and another bull in the car and these
were also taken out. The bull became
fractions and broke the staff which
Helyar held, turning before the young
man had a chance to escape, he lung
ed at him and threw Helyar high in
! the air
| When he came down he struck oil
his right shoulder which was broken
and he also received other internal
injuries. The bull then turned on the
horse which Helyar had been driving
land which was standing nearby and
before the frightened animal had
chance to move the bull attacked it
goring it under the heart. The horse
gave a leap and after running about
100 feet, dropped dead In spite Of
his injuries, Helyar took charge OF the
situation and with the men who were
with him, the bull was stoned ant
driven D ack into the car Helyar ther
walked to Brattleboro gunsmitt
shop and procured a rifle with which
he started back to demolish the bull
He entered the car alone and free
four shots at the animal, all of which
took effect. These did not finish The

another shot at him before he finall!
succumbed. Helyar who is the super
intendent of the Mt. Hermon Schoo
farm, and who had charge of thu
