NARROWLY ESCAPED DROWNING
Young Lad Broke Through Ice on
Otter Creek and was almost Ex-
hausted When Rescued.

Rutland, Dec. 5.-Only the heroic
work of two companions saved Vim
cent Elky. the 16-year-old son of
John Elkey, from an icy grave in
Otter Creek this afternoon. With
Henry Cannon, he went to the creek
to skate, unmindful of the fact that
the mild weather had weakened the
already thin ice.
Several boys were skating on a
pond near by, but Elkey and Gan
non tried the creek and the ice
broke under them, in mid-stream
Cannon scrambled ashore, while Ell
key held onto the ice and screamed
for help.
Albert Carpenter, Adelard Leblanc
and a young Swede responded Car
pentier and Leblanc by the use of ?
long pole, succeeded in getting Ell
key ashore, after twenty minutes
hard work, during which the ex-
hausted boy nearly gave up the fight
at times, being encouraged by his
rescuers. The boy was taken to his
home and tonight his condition was
satisfactory.

TROUBLE BREWING
Dispatches From American Legation
at Capital of Honduras Indicate
That Former President of That
Country is Trying to Overthrow
Present Incumbent

Washington, d. c., Dec. THE
first sign that the present disorder in
Nicaragua is likely to spread to the
other Central American republics,
was received at the State Department
today. A dispatch from the Ameri-
can legation at Tegucigalpa said
that martial law was declared there
yesterday in anticipation of revolu-
tionary invasion. The dispatch gave
no details.
Several days ago, however, inform
alton was received at the State De-
partment that Manuel Bonilla, form
er president of Honduras, was plan
ming revolutionary movement
against President Davila in order to
re-establish himself as President of
Honduras. In 1907 Bonilla was de-
posed and driven out of Honduras by
the joint forces of Davila and Eel
ava. In view of the fact that Bonilla
was dlueu Ill dlJdluluS tne pItolueuCy
of Honduras through his friendship
with Zelaya, the officers of the State
Department regard it as reasonably
certain that there will be a revolu-
ton against Davila if Zelaya is over
thrown.
If the revolutionary movement in
Honduras develops to large proper
tions, the problem of quieting condi-
tions there will be considerably more
difficult than it is now, for the revo-
luton in Nicaragua has been confined
entirely to the limits of that country.
If the press reports that Zelaya has
been victorious over the revolution
airy troops are correct the State De-
partment will be in an embarrassing
position. Up to date the officers of the
department have given all moral en-
couragement possible to the insur-
gent movement.

fourteen cities in Massachusetts were
holding municipal elections and in
each a vote was being taken on the
question of whether or not spirituous
liquors should be sold during the
coming year OF all the cities, four

only H1verhill swapped over to the
mo" column.
The cities that swapped to the
yes side of the question were Glou-
cester, Fall River, Marlboro, and
New Bedford The ladies who were
at Pilgrim hall went home to supper
before they had heard the answer
to their petition. Present mayors
were reelected in Lawrence, Fitch
burg, Quincy, Glouce ster, Pittsfield
and Waltham.
Charles 8. Ashley, of New Bedford
was elected Mayor for the fourteenth
time in sixteen years. Springfield ell
ected a Democratic mayor, choosing
Edward H. Lothrop, against Mayor
Sanderson, Republican. William H.
Clifford, who tried four times to be-
come mayor of Brockton, as an In
dependent Democrat, was success
full this year. In Marlboro, j. j.
Shaughnessy, Democrat, was chosen
to boss the city. The candidacy of
the other, Temple, farmer, who has
been speaking from the tailboard of
an ox-cart. availed nothing. Calvin
Coolidge, Republican, was success
full at Northampton and William S.

ton, won out at Taunton. Mayors
