If any one, bring out all the speed
there is in the Montpelier FLY. It
will be remembered that Ed. Sun
derlin was the trainer of the ia
nous Angus Pointer, owned by
George E. Whitney, of Burlington.
During the seaEon that Sunderln
drove this mare every race entered,
with the exception of one, was cap
tured. The meets were in various
parts of the circuit and in the one
that did not bring first money Sec
ond money was taken by Mr.. Whit
ney's famous thoroughbred. The
times of the heats of that famous
race were 2 fiat 2:021s and 1903.
The stakes won that season amount
ed to $4,000.
Allinetta, while not quite so fast
as Mr.. Whitney's Angus Pointer,
has speed and with the training of
the veteran Sunderlin she should
be among the famous winners of
the year. Mr.. Lord has two other
horses, Sadie M. and Henry c.
who are fast on half mile track,
but he is training them himself AMI
will enter them at the fall fairs.

Joseph Pascal-Conhicting Ru-
mOrs Are Received.
South Walden, Aug. 5.-The hunt
for Joseph Pascal, wanted for the
murder of Chas. Perkins, continues
today. About fifteen armed officers

of 1000 acres in which the murder
Ell is supposed to be concealed.

Greensboro, Hardwick, Cabot and
Peacham and 1t is believed that the
man will be run down SOON Last
night one of Pascal's old camps was
found, which had been occupied re-
Gently,
There are many rumors to the
effect that Pascal had been seen, two
coming in almost simultaneously
from points fifteen miles apart.
Attempts were made in Fair Hay
en-, Poughkeepsie, and Boston 20
secure bloodhounds, without sue
cess, and the trail is now getting so
old that this project probably will be
abandoned. An attempt made to put
Pascal's dog on his masters trail,
was unsuccessful.
The funeral of Mr.. Perkins will be
held at 1 o'clock tomorrow after
noon.
The description of Pascal is that
Of man apparently about 80 years
old, but probably older. 5 feet, 9 or
10 inches in height, of muscular
build, weighing about IT'S pounds.
His complexion is dark, his hair is
black, but his moustache is lighter,
being almost sandy He wore dark
clothes, a dark felt hat with wide
brim, and new shoes.
The autopsy on the body Of Mr..
Perkins, conducted yesterday by DR..
B. H. Stone, of Burlington, the state
pathologist, assisted by DR.. ]. p.
Darling, of Hardwick, disclosed a
severe cash on the back of the head
and another bad bruise on the chest
and it is surmised that Pascal
struck Perkins with the butt of his
gun and that these blows rather
than the rife wound in the right
wrist caused his death.
