Westmore votes!for licensel Another
blot on our almost Lilly white" county.
Yet the citizens of Westmore do not
want license-that is as a whole.
The sentiment of the community IS
not for saloons. the town is ashamed
of the fact that it's vote showed yes
majority. and the taking out OF a
license is not probable. 1t happened
because every other voter shirked.
Every other voter in the town of West
more did not vote. In reality then
those who did not vote are responsible
for the yes majority. Shame Oh the

make any difference" and the don't

Village Named After Max Evarts.
Following a heated discussion at a
special meeting of several hundred
citizens of West Hartland Friday
evening, it was decided to change the
name of the village to Evarts. j. FL.
Dunbar, the Socialist candidate for
governor last fall, read letter which
he had received from Gaylord Will
shire, in which the latter stated that
be would give to West Hartland a Ii
brary costing about$1 900, TO be known
as the Gaylord Wiltshire library, if the
name of the village was changed to
Wiltshire Then the name Evarts was
presented, as the one which the ma
jority of the citizens wanted. Max

soon, and it was an honor to any town

To make the vote doublY sure, petit

whom the village will be named, is

House,
Edward Moore of East Elmore was
shot and killed Feb % by Joe La Quee,
who lives about one-half mile from
the Worcester line i'll East Elmore.
La Quee, in his story of the shooting,
says that Moore was trying to effect
an entrance into his house and, after
breaking window, tried to break IN
the door. La Quee says that he then
shot through the door with the intent
of soaring Moore away and that he
had no intention of killing him. After
firing, LaQuee went back to bed ano
the next morning, when it beca me
light, he went out and found the body

wife, who had not lived with him fo
some time. La Quee bears a goo'
