henhouse and some sheds, belonging to
A. Fagerstrom on the East Montpelier
road, lust outside the city limits, yes
terday afternoon. The residence Of Mr..
Fagerstrom, not more than twenty five
feet away, was saved after hard efforts
on the part Of score Of neighbors who
respondent TO the call for help. One end
of the house was seorched, but the ap-
plication Of wet blankets to the roof
and the dousing Of the side nearest the
blazing barn finally saved 1t.
Mr.. Fagerstrom was at his work in
the Jones Bros. granite plant In this
city when he got the word that his prop.
ertv was burning, and as the distance to
cover is considerable he was one Of the
last Of the fire lighters TO arrive. But
his neighbors had been doing good work
and besides saving the house had moved
out most Of the furniture ready for
worse results The location Is beyond
the hvdrant service of the city, so that
there would have been little use to call
the department
Included in the destruction Of the barn
and sheds is the loss Of a quantity Of
hay, $50 stove which was stored in
the barn, few hens and new sleigh
and other property. A COW was led out
of the burning structure. and one old
sleigh and rubber-ti buggy were
drawn ont to safe distance. The loss
will be about $500. The property was
insured in the Pape agency, there be-
ing $3.50 on the barn. $500 on the house
and $3.50 on the furnishings.

WHEN HE LANDED TO-DAY

Maintain the Supremacy Of the
Whites in the Pugilistic

worlds championship, at once. He de-
clared that he is ready to enter the
ring at any time and will sign articles
Immediately.
Il feel better than ever before" he
said, land am prepared 10 UPHOLD the
supremacy Of the white race"
While the fight fans in the city, as
well as those oil over the country, have
been considerably interested III the
fight ever since the subject was first
spoken Of, il is possible that the topic
has never caused so much talk for dis
cussion as II ras at the present time
with the arrival OF Jetfries. Although
the ban has been placed on the boxing
game in this city by Gov Hughes the
metropolis Is in this respect the most.
talked-of city in the sporting world to-
day.

to his sailing for Europe
Jeffries has been away for two months

Barre Dealers in Meat are
Unanimous in Action
AS PROTEST AGAINST LAW
Which Opens the Slaughter Of Female
Deer-Action Of Barre Dealers
Follows Similar Step in
Rutland.

Following the example set by all but
one Of the meat dealers in Rutland, the
dealers in Barre unanimously decided
today to refuse to handle any doe meat
during the present hunting season. This
action was taken as protest against
the law adopted by the last Legislature
permitting the slaughter Of does as well
as bucks during the open season which
commences next Monday and continues
to Saturday night.
There are six firms in the city which
handle meat and they at once fell IN
with the proposition, some Of them de-
claring that they wouldn't handle The
doe meat even II their competitors did
But none Of their competitors wanted
to handle the doe meat and so there g
no occasion for any difference Of opinion
on the matter. As soon as approached
with the proposition by one Of the deal
ers they all expressed their hearty ap-
proyal. The action was brought about
by the dealers themselves, with no out
side influence
In consequence, hunters who may take
1t upon themselves to kill doe next week
will not find market for the meat IN
Barre; and it is possible that similar
action may be taken in Montpelier D.
asmuch as the Barre dealers safd That
they should appeal TO the megt dealers
there to unite in the movement. It Is
understood, however, that the Montpel-
Ter dealers say they will gell doe meat.
The agreement signed by the Rutland
dealers is as follows:
believing that the slaughter of does
for commercial purposes at least, u
against the best interests of the citizens
Of the state; we the undersigned, ment
dealers Of Rutland, will not sell or buy
any does or part thereof during the sea-
son Of 1909"
Further protest against the law per-
mitting doe slaughter is noted in the
concerted action Of farmers in closing
their land against trespassing. A con-
siderable portion of Washington county
will be closed as tho result of the post
ing of land, which viii forbid hunting
Of all kinds. Great tracts of land are
included in this prohibition, and the
deer hunters will find their paths bar
red very often by the warning signs.

telling hls friends that he had date
with woman which he intended to
keep He was seen prowling about the
mills nf the American Fork and Hoe
company, which are near the johnson
house and was later seen watching the
house Of Miss johnson from point
across the street. II Is also understand
that Eddv's trousers. which he wore on
that night, were found At his home and
that they had been washed and hidden
away. II has never been announced
whether or not the autopsy revealed
that the woman had been crininally as
saulted before she was murdered. Miss

CODY. ENCIrsHmAN.
Aviator Takes Out His Papers as Kings
Subject.

Doncaster, England, Oct 22. Capt.
fthe title is one Of conrtescy) S. =.
Cody, the Ams ican aviator who was
employed by the British war depart
ment to teach its officers something
about aeronautics, took advantage of
the fact that the wind was so high
yesterday that no fights could be at-
tempted, and took out his naturalization
papers as British citizen In this con-
nection It may be recalled that when
the captain took up ballooning in the
British army he was somewhat hamp-
ehed in his work BY the jealousy Of
English officers, who declared that he
would have TO become British citizen
if he wished to retain his position.
The spectators, who had assembled to
see some flights, were disappointed in
that respect, but they saw moving
spectacle Of an American becoming an
Englishman The town clerk Of Don
caster arrived at the course Of the
morning and informed Cody that his
naturalization papers had arrived, where
upon an impr0mptu ceremony was gone
through with outside the aviation shed
in the presence Of crowd Of aviators,
reporters and spectators generally.
After he had signed the papers, in the
performance Of which duty he had used
the town clerks back as an improvised
desk Cody repeated in a ringing voice
the oath Of allegiance to the British
sovereign, ending with fervent $50
help me Godp and kissing his testi-
mony with a res0tmding smack
A brass band heralded the arrival
Of new Britisher with noisy rendi-
tion Of @God Save the King,s while
Cody, bareheaded, stood stiniy at a.
military salute. The crowd then hurst
into cheers and there were resoundinQ
shouts OF Bravo. Codyi" The French
ayiators were especially excited and
yelled "vive Codyl"
Cody showed his appreciation Of his
new honor BY seizing the hand Of his
nearest new countryman and saying
Il am pleased and honored to be one
Of you"
