Historical events or past memories
do not count. If some esthetic soul,
and we might add, "crank, " ultra
or otherwise, desires a change of name
of town, rest assured there will
enough agree with him so the change
will be made. This is an age of
changes. Think of South Barton with
Crystal Lake in sight being changed
to "WilIoughby" and Lake Willoughby
six miles away. The whole thing was
absurd. But the change was made,
and so will "Camel's Hump" be
changed if someone desires it, even
though the change is for the worse.

It occurs to the Herald that this
business of altering the geography of

the hands of the newspapers. If the
Monitor had held out steadily against
changing the name of South Barton

Orleans if it had not only opposed it,
but, after the thing was accomplished
and the name changed, if it had
kept right on calling those places by
their old and rightful names and ig-

The First Woman to Practice Law in
Pennsylvania Born in Craftsburv.

Mrs. Carrie Burnham Kilgore died
at Swathmore, Pa, June %. She was
born in Craftsbury, this state, II
years ago. was the daughter of James
E. Burnham who died, leaving her an
orphan at the age of IA. She possessed
an unusual mind and a great desire
for study. She graduated from New
bury seminary (afterward moved to
Montpelier and now MONTPELIER
seminary and following this, by her
own efforts she obtained a high de-
gree of scholarship. She was precep

school, and taught in the college at
Madison, Wis. afterward in Philadel-
phia. Later she studied medicine in
New York, was the first woman to
receive a degree in New York, in 1864.
In 1870 she became interested in law
and after private study applied for ad-
mission to the law department Of the
University of Pennsylvania, but was
refused. The idea of a woman study
ing law seemed impossible. Neverthe-
less, she continued her studies. and in
1873 went before the board of examin
ers for admission to the bar. Again
she was refused, the board ruling that
there was mo precedent for the ex.
animation of woman for admission
to the bar" Mrs. Kilgore was not
discouraged. She applied once more
for admission to the. University OF
Pennsylvania and in 1881 became q
student there. Two years later SIZE
received the degree of Bachelor OF
Laws and was admitted to practice ir

In the course of an article discussing
the possibilities for Acknowledgements
for 1910, the Rutland Herald recently
paid quite a compliment to Senator
John l.. Lewis of North Troy. The
article also speaks of other east
siders, most of whom are we'll known
in this county.
When the matter Of lieutenant
governorship was first mentioned and
the least side' was called upon to
make its selections, flood of names
appeared, including practically every
public man on the east side and some
that were not even public. A partial
list follows:
Ernest w. Gibson, BrattIeboro;
James F. Hooker, Brattleboro;
II. G. Barber, Brattleboro;
Tyler Goodell, Nottingham;
Z. P. Adams. Marlboro;
DR.. F. T. Kidder, Woodstock
Joseph T. Gleason, Lyndonville;
Porter N. Dale, Island Pond
Frank M. Cory, Montpelier;
Leighton P. Slack, ST. Johnsbury.
The east side is not generally so
modest and any observer of the trend
OF things could easily suggest two
names that would probably oyershadow
any or all of those mentioned. They
are:
Henry N. Turner, St. Johnsbury 4;
John l.. Lewis, North Troy.
Mr.. Lewis was in many respects the
strongest figure in the senate of 1908.
The Herald did not agree with him on
number of pnblic questions, notably
in the matter of polluting Lake
Bomoseen, but it is ready to recognize
in him certain positive and forceful
qualities that made him in certain
degree the logical leader of the Upper
House. Cut adrift from some entang-
ling alliances that he found not only
damaging but irksome, Senator Lewis
would have accomplished notable ser.
vice. AS it was, he made decided
impression.
Mr.. Turner is big enough and strong
enough, so his friends say, to run fol
governor. AS running for governor
may now be regarded as a comfortabl,
and more or less logical consequence
of running for acknowledgements, tn
advent of Mr.. Turner need surpris
no one. Having elected the head O
the Howe scale works lieutenant
governor from the west side, tn
election of the head of the Fairbank
scale works from the east side ough
to balance the political scales wit
admirable nicely!
AS to the list of the otherwis
mentioned, Brattleboro's modest an
self-effacing disposition appears i
the Gibson-Hooker-B Barber possibilitie;
Gibson's exceptional fitness fo
political life has already been noted i
these columns. Hooker's distinguishe

Kent Attempts Escape.

Elroy Kent, the man escaping from
the Waterbury asylum last fall and
being at large for several months and
later convicted of the murder of Miss
Della Congdon at Wallingford in the
last term of the Rutland county court
and who has since been confined in the
house of correction. made an unsuccess-
full attempt to escape from that in
stitution on July l, and had it not been
for federal prisoner. Harry Matti-
son, who was in the room at the time
of Kent's attempt to get away, the
try might have been successful.
Madison was asleep but was awakened
by someone filling bar and saw Kent
busy with a file on the window.
Madison notified an officer who i'm
mediately went upstairs and found the
bar filed through. The bar was covered
with soap where the filing had been
going on to prevent discovery of the
place. Kent denies knowing anything
about it. During the day Kent had
been allowed the freedom of the Jail
room to give him exercise and was
confined in cell at night. He is now
confined IN a cell all the time. 1t is
thought if he had not been discovered
he would have bent the bar back when
opportunity offered and made his es-
cape into the yard. He would then
have mad to scale high wall. 1t is
not known how he got the file.

Attempt to Assassinate Priest.

An attempt to assassinate Rev. Joseph
F. GILES, one of the priests of St.
Mary's cathedral Of Burlington was
made one night last week and the
police later arrested Miss Beatrice
Thompson, who has shown fanatical
aversion to the Roman Catholic faith.
The woman is in jail on the charge
of shooting with intent to kill. She is
an artist about 30 years old. Rev.
Father GILES says the woman left the
house as he was passing, followed him
some distance, and discharged revol-
yer at him. the bullet passing through
his umbrella. The police kept watch
of Miss Thompson's house all day and
evening and arrested her as soon as
she returned. She took the matter
coolly. and demanded the warrant that
she might read it. "You are getting
me into an awful scrape are yoE sure

officer. A woman being called tc

cartridges.

Big Liquor Raid in Hardwick.
For the second time within a year
the village of Hardwick was the scene
of a wholesale liquor raid in the
morning of July 2. A special train
bearing Sheriff George Winch and 81
deputies of st. Johnsbury arrived at 4
o'clock in the morning and returned at
noon with two wagon loads of liquor
and II prisoners. Fourteen places
were searched and seizures made in
nine. They were arranged in court
and placed under bonds Of from $500
to $1,000 to appear in the present term
of county court. Bail was furnished in
all cases. The raid was planned by
States Attorney Simonds and Sheriff
Winch and so well timed that the town
was taken entirely by surprise.

R Robbery and Attempted Murder
Young Man Named Joseph Dewitt Robs the House of John
Larson and Being Caught in the Act, Attempts
to Murder MIR. Larson.

Returning from Coteau to his home
on the farm a short distance out from
that place on Saturday evening, John
Larson, who is bachelor and lives
alone on his farm, was surprised at
finding a door open that he had securely
latched before going to town. He
entered the door, however, and de-
manded to know who was inside, when
the answer he received was sort of
grunt, as he puts it, which was fol-
lowed by shot which took effect in
Johns neck passing through just under
the skin and out behind and missing his
jugular vein by very small margin.
At this John wheeled about and ran
from the premises, being followed for
short distance by the robber, who
fired two more shots at him, but with
out effect. John reached the home of
a neighbor, bleeding badly from his
wound and out of breath from fright
and running, but soon recovered and
told as near as he could what had hap
pened. The rura! phone was at once
called into requisition and DR.. Limburg,
who happened in Coteau at the time,
hastened to the home of Joe WaIleen.
where he found Mr.. Larson and attend
ed to his wound, which was found not
to be at all serious. y
Soon the affair became noised through
the town and Jim .Towne and other
citizens went to the Larson home to
make an investigation and ascertain if
possible if anything were missing from
the place and try to get some clue to
the identity Of the robber and would-be
murderer. When Larson got over his
fright and in condition to recall the
happenings Of the day, he remembered
meeting Dewitt earlier in the day while
going to town with a load of wheat, and
again later in the day Dewitt was pip
ing off his victim while the latter was
being paid some money on the Street by
Fred Erickson. After this John had
gone home and done his chores, having
done which he again went to town, re-
turning to his home about o'clock in
the evening, when be found the door
ajar as herein stated and the other
happenings took pltce as related. A

that fine suit of clothes and a costly
fur overcoat belonging to Mr.. Larson
had been taken, while on the floor was
found well-worn pair of leggings that
were at once recognized as belonging to
Dewitt, and in the stove, partly burned,
was found some articles of male ap-
parel also recognized as belonging to
the young robber. At first Mr.. l.. is
credited with saying that two persons
emerged from the house when the
shooting began, but later he asserted
that there was but one. Steps were at
once taken to locate Dewitt, who had
been hanging about Coteau nearly all
that afternoon, but without effect, and
a trip to the home of Will Hughes,
where Dewitt had been working, con-
vinced the searching party that he had
not been there since the robbery and
attempted murder. The search was
kept up all night long, but without CIV
ing any clue, though in the morning his
tracks were found leaving the Larson
place and followed as far as the home
of Joe Woodland, where they were en-
tirely lost,
Hopeless of being able to locate the
young man, Sheriff Sorenson was noti-
fed and Deputy Steinhoffer was sent
on from Minot on Tuesday, he taking
up the trail from Columbus, where late
that day it had been ascertained that
Dewitt had taken his dinner on Sunday.
After that all trace seems to have been
lost, though several officers are now
securing the country west of Columbus
in hope of bagging their game, which
it is confidently expected they will sue
ceed in doing.
This "Mr. Joseph Dewitt" as the
young fellow was always want to style
himself, lived here some three years
ago with the family of one McPeak,
who conducted a sort of laundry in
building on Main street, and was
arrested on the charge of stealing coal
from people in the neighborhooa for use
in the McPeak establishment. He was
taken to the county jail at Minot,
where he was held for short time,
being released at the request of people
who sympathized with the then kid, on
account of his youth, coupled with the
