A Serious Charge.

Walter Sulham of Cabot was brought
here yesterday by Sheriff Winch ant
lodged in the county jail for safe keeping
Although he is under arrest no charge:
have as yet been preferred against him
His arrest grew out of the disappearance
on Sunday night of himself and Agnes
Craig, the 14-year-old daughter o.
Robert Craig of Cabot. They left her
home about 10 o'clock Sunday night
and were missed by her father the next
morning He at once notified States
Attorney Simonds and the sheriff force
was put on the track. Deputy Sheriff
Thurber of Danville traced the pair to
Charles Willey's in Danville, they having
made nearly eight miles on foot between
10 o'clock Sunday night and 8 O'Clock
Monday morning. They stayed at that
place until 4 o'clock that afternoon, and
then, with their extension grip 1ull of
clothes and provisions, started on the
second lap of their long walk, which,
according to well laid plans would land
them high and dry in Littleton.
Officer Thurber was not idle, however,
and telephoned ahead for Deputy Sheriff
Whitney of Barnet to watch the bridges
in that town. Whitney and the girls
father posted themselves at the East
Barnet bridge, and two Others watched
the toll bridge below Barnet.
At about 9 o'clock Monday evening
the couple appeared at the East Barnet
bridge, where they were met with open
arms by Mr.. Craig and Sheriff Whitney.
Sulham was taken to Mclndoes and
turned over to Sheriff Winch, while
Miss Craig remained with her father,
until both were brought here yesterday
morning. Sulham is % years old and
his parents live in Cabot He worked
for the Craigs about Is months previous
to April 1, and since then has been in
East Cabot, but has been an occasional
visitor at the place. 1t is said that the
girls parents frowned on his attentions
to her and this trip was evidently
planned to put them beyond reach OF
parental interference.
Sulham will be brought before this
term of court to answer to either the
charge of kidnapping or rape. Either
otfense, if proven against him, is punish
able by states prison sentence.

Academy Notes.

The Academy choral concert, given by
the best voices in the school, on Tuesday
evening June IS, was very enjoyable
entertainment. Mrs. Maud L. Eklof,
who trained the singers so WE'LL deserves
recognition as an accomplished direc-
tress. The program throughout was
well chosen and exceedingly we'll execu-
ted. When the Hallelujah chorus from
Handels Messiah" was sung, the
audience stood according to established
custom. The final piece, the renowned
"Gallia" of Charles Gounod, thrilled the
audience with it's mighty volume of
sound. The people of ST. Johnsbury
should be very proud of the splendid
musical work that is being done at the
Academy.
The new Academy catalogue of the
Goth year has just been issued. Last
year Principal Rowland had a few copies
printed in white covers with the outside
lettering in Academy green. These were
liked so much better thaa the old style
that this time all were finished in the
new way. Sixteen full-page cuts add to
the attractiveness of the booklet, while
its concise and systematic arrangement
make it exceedingly practical for refer
ence. The courses of study offered are
the same as last year, classical. Latin
German, scientific, and commercial. One
very interesting fact is that the number
of students was exactly the same this
year as last, there being total of 239.
new item is the list of 73 text books
used by the institution.
At special meeting of the trustees of
the Academy Friday afternoon Clark P.
Rowland presented his resignation as
principal of the institution. His resig-
nation was accepted and it will
take effect on Sept. l. Mr.. Rowland
came here from Springfield, Mo-, three
years ago where he had been principal of
the fitting school connected with Drury
College and has been a serviceable man
for the Academy and made many friends
in town. He is undecided as to his
future plans, but will remain here
through portion of the summer.
At the same meeting of the trustees the
resignation of Miss Mills was received.
