The supreme court of appeals held,
for the second time that liquor
agent who contracts for sales in a
dry" county, but who does not de-
liver the goods or receive the money

The opinion was banded down by
Judge Miller. ]. L. Marks was the

rection of about $50 supervisors. A
general plan of dividing the country

The supervisors salaries viii be

from two to four cents in the rural
districts.
In addition to this the city enum-
orators will be allowed from go to

STABBED TO DEATH
CLENDENN CHEF OF POLICE MURDERED
BYCHARLESTON GAMBLER.

clendenin; April e7.- During a
minstrel performance at the opera
house here tonight, given by a COM
pany of young men from Charleston,
Chief of police Claude Hensley was
fatally stabbed by a man known as
Joe Shivant, an alleged gambler Of
Charleston.
Chief Hensley met his death while
attempting to put a stop to free
for-all fight that resulted from the
election of a man from the opera
house for disorderly conduct. Tirins
of the continued misconduct of this
man, whose name is not known, some
of the house attendants put him out.
This action was resented by some Of
the man 5 friends, whose remonstra-
tons brought on tight. q
The noise attracted the attentioI
of Chief Hcnsley, who was watchin.
the performance inside, and he hast
ened out. He rushed directly int
the midst of the melee, but scarcely
had time to raise his hands, so eye
witnesses say, before he fell, stabbed
in half a dozen places.
A physician was hastily summoned,
but Hensley lived but a short while
after he arrived. Any one of two or
three wounds he received would, it is,
said, have proved fatal.
No one knows how shivant came
to be mixed up in the trouble. He
came here from Charleston today and
is not supposed to have known any
of those who had hand in the fight.
The knife with which he stabbed
Hensley is large, murderoas look
ing affair.

Three baby eagles have been re-
ceived by the officers of the Rutland
County Agricultural society for ex-
hibition during their fair in Sep
TENDER. The birds were captured
by G.. H. Stafford, secretary of the
South Wallingford fair, and a party
of three. The nest was found in the
woods and was more than 60 feet
from the ground. A tree near by
was felled so it lodged in the tree
bearing the nest. The eagles were
taken from their nest, but not with
out a fight. The parents to the
birds were not seen. The birds, al
though young, are good sized and
from tip to tip of their wings the
spread is SO inches. 1t is expected
that the people of South Walling-
ford, interested in the fair, will be
able to get specimens Of other wild
animals for exhibition purposes
such as squirrels, white chucks and
porcupines, and game birds and
animals. Permission has been OBJ
tanned from the state fish and game
commissioner to capture these for
exhibition.

The crops in and around Brat
tleoro are in the main looking well.
Hay is little lighter than usual
in most places as Guilford, Putney,
Townsend, Dummerston and New
fame all report light hay. The Re-
treat meadows, on the other hand,
have heavier crop than usual and
newly-seeded fields are doing espec-
tally we'll. The vines seem to in
dictate very large potato crop, as
they never looked better and there
are fewer bugs than ordinarily. The
Brattleboro Retreat farmer states
that potato bugs have been decreas-
ing in number rapidly for the past
year or two. Fruit trees blossomed
abundantly this year, but appear
ances now do not seem to indicate
a much larger yield than usual
The apple blossoms have bees ben
Gifted by spraying them after the
blossoms dropped, thus partly pre-
venting the destructive work OF
worms. Corn was planted late on
account of the wet, cold spring, but
the hot days and warm nights help
ed it along wonderfully two weeks
ago, and it is doing well, although
quite backward still. The berry
crop this year has been phenomen-
ally large, and native strawberries
have flooded the market, as many as
115 bushels of natives having been
sold in one week from Brattlebo-
70 store The fields are full OF wild
berries and appearances indicate
that this will be a banner year.
Vegetables are coming along finely
and peas and garden stuff have been
on the market for some time. The
Retreat gardener has some sweet
corn that is nearly ripe. Tobacco
growers report that tobacco is
backward, as are the other crops
but that the chances for a GOOD
yield are favorable Summarizing
the crops are in general backward
but seem to be coming along ana
the quality and quantity are fuily
up to If not above normal; hay Is
in the main lighter, berries are very
plenty, corn is under size at pres
emf but in time will reach its usual
CIV 'estyl
mark. ~

Seven we'll known st. Johnsbury
automobiles were arrested on
warrants recently issued from the

them with running without a IL
cense as required by law. The ac-
ton was brought under instruc-
tons from Attorney General John
G. Sargent of Ludlow, and the cases
were brought before Judge Miles in
Caledonia county court when the
costs of the respondents was placed
under 500 bail, which was fur

The hay crop in the vicinity of
Rutland is said to be light. In the
lowlands reports show that the crop
of hay this year will be about two
thirds Of the average crop. In
speaking of the matter, L. K. Os-
good, of the town of Rutland, said
"The crop this year will be light
but the quality will be exceptionally
good. The hay looks as if it would
wear we'll" The weather has been
favorable for a heavy crop of hay
but the long drouth of last fall more
than Offset the wet spring and early
summer. Other crops such as corn
an dpotatoes are a bit behind with
many of the farmers. The corn is
particularly so on account of the
wet spring which kept the farmers
back in planting but it is growing
rapidly now. There has been con-
siderable cold weather since the
corn came out of the ground and
L
grain crop is about the average.
The barn with its contents on the
Horace Everett place at the foot of
Everett Lane, Windsor, was des-
troyed by fire, Monday The alarm
was sounded soon after the noon
hour and the flames spread so rap
idly that nothing could be saved,
notwithstanding prompt response
by the fire department The barn
was filled with hay belonging to
George d. Clough, who estimates
his loss at $3.50, with no insur-
ance. The fire was caused by chill
dren playing with matches in
shed adjoining the barn. The house
was not DANCED by the fire, as it
stands some little distance from
the barn. The former was built by
the late Horace Everett in 1910,
and at the time was held to be one
of the best residences in this sec
ton of the Connecticut valley. The
barn is supposed to have been built
at or about the same time. Mr..
Everett, it will be remembered, was
a member of Congress from 1929 to
1S49, and frequently entertained
such notables as Daniel Webster
and Rufus Choate. He died at his
home in Windsor in 1851. The es-
tate is now owned by a grandson,
living in Iowa.
