A Lake That Run Away

One hundred years ago the sites of
Glover and Barton, in the northern
part of Vermont, were mostly swamp
land a mill was located by brook
which was fed from ona of the large
ponds three or four miles from what
is now the village of Glover. These
mountain ponds or lakes, two or three
.Iniles square, are high up in the Green
mountains and arc among the most
attractive spots in New England
On June 6, 1910. three men went up
the brook to see if little more water
could he let down to the mill. They
removed some earth, when suddenly
the quicksands gave way, and they saw
that the whole lake was liable to be
upon them.
Frantically they questioned. "Who
will save the miller and his wife?"
Spencer Chamberlain, the flcetest of
foot, ran as fast as possible through the
tangle of thick woods to give warming,
while the other men escaped to higher
ground. He found the miller away and
the miller's wife grinding at the mill.
She became helpless with horror; but,
breathless as her rescuer was from his
Digit, he succeeded in dragging and
carrying her up the hill out of reach of
the rushing water The miller's horse
was drowned and all of his hard earned
property swept away in twinkling.
The water rushed along. carrying
everything before it, digging out ra-
vines, filling up hollows and making a
new surface to the land generally, some
Of it reaching Lake Memphremagog,

INJUNCTION
GRANTED BY JUDGE BURDETT
IN CIRCUIT COURT.
Gives the Norfolk s. Western Rail-
road Right to Restore the Three
- Cent Fare UnmoIested on
that Road,

Judge S. G. Burdette, Of the Ka-
nawha Circuit Court Monday is
sued an injunction to restrain Az
torney General w. G.. Conley and the
prosecuting attorneys through the
counties through which the Norfolk
and Western railroad passes for pros
ecuting that road for not complying
with the two-cent rate law.
The Norfolk and Western is the
fourth trunk line in the state to ask
for a permanent injunction, the
Chesapeake and Ohio, Coal and Coke
and the Virginian already having
been granted injunctions as asked
for.
There now remains but two trunk
lines in the state that have not asked
for an Injunction and those are the
Baltimore and Ohio and Kanawha
and Michigan, which roads, it is said
will wait until the Supreme Court
has acted.
While the different railroads which
have been allowed iBjunctions are
to drop the two-cent rate, the order
issued by Judge Burdette requires
oil roads to issue coupons for the
amount charged over two cents a
mile, 50 that in case his decision
is reversed by the Supreme Court
the patrons money will be returned.
The old passenger rate will go
| into effect immediately.

1s one real StupendOuS represents
tion Of living facts. Those of us who
travel constantly and spend some
portion OF our time in the state of
Mississippi know that in program
Of two hours length the half can
never be told. The fact that the
Negroes of Mississippi are doing
something, that they all are big
men, and that while being big,
they pay homage to their leaders in
all the various fields of endeavor
means much for the solidarity and
unity of purpose towards which they
are evidently working.
There was no more gratifying fea-
ture to the whole program than
Mississippi Day, and in placing the
actual condition of their people be-
fore the country at large as they
have done on this occasion, promi-
nent Negro men Of Mississippi have
unWittingly done greater service
to the whole south than they can
fully realize.
On one or two occasions, Bishop
Cottrell was the centre of attraction
for he speaks on AL occasions when
given the opportunity in favor Of the
black women of the south He Gre
ated quite a sensation when he re-
lated an incident in a large southern
city to show that more money is
paid to colored women by white men
for dishonorable services than to
honest girls for actual labor. The
educational work done by the COL
ored Methodist Episcopal Church
under the direction of Bishop Cot
trell was emphasized, and the work
of the fraternal organizations as
given by DR.. E. P. Jones and Prof.
Il. II. McKissack was the most STU
pendous recital Of the whole pro-
gram.
Mr.. Washington above all others
was the lion Of the occasion. Never
before has black man been court
ed and lionized by the white and
black alike. That +the governor OIL
the state and other prominent cit
liens should take delight in paying
respects to the great Negro gathering
led by this matchless negro educator
argues good for the future. The
personnel Of the convention, the
character of the discussions, and the
orderly. procedure throughout the
whole session, could not be marred
by the silly attempts to fight, good
man like: DR.. Furniss Of Indianapo-
lis, for petty jealousies, Or, a Wash
aagteAr man, because he happened
to be Mr.. -1|Vvsshtpaston' -son1iasss,]

It Is hardly in keeping with the
eternal fitness of things that the Ma
tional Negro Business League should
continue to run in the we'll oiled me-
chanical way it has run for the last
ten years. Ten years is a long time
for a Negro organization to live
without a scrap. George l.. Knox
declared that there can be no
peace without war" giving what we
are compelled to consider an echo
from the .Democratic-editor
pnbltcan-news journal Of his which,
he calls the Freeman.
; TO be sure the Business League
has nothing to do with the fact that
DIR. Furniss is successful practi-
tioner-nor is it concerned unduly
over. the fact that Sumner Furniss

Schools BEATS DALTON
Cheyenne Scrapper Knocks California
Lightweight Out at Lander,
Wyoming.


Lander. Wyo., July S.-The fight be-
tween Kid Dalton of Los Angeles and
"Muggsy" Schools of Cheyenne attracted
the largest crowd that ever witnessed a
boxing match i'm Wyoming. Dalton, with
a long string of victories to his credit, nat
uraliy was FUN Of confidence and to this
confidence, and the terrific hitting powers
Of the Cheyenne lightweight he owes his
defeat. Schools. realizing that if ne ever
expected to climb to the top and get on
with the leaders Of the lightweight divi-
sion. he must win over Dalton. went in
from the tap of the gong to do or die.
HIS unexpected rushes and the force of
his blows dazed Dalton and before the
close of the third round the California
man was looking serious. In the fourth
round Dalton tried every hook, shift and
cross-COunteF that he could use, but
Schools kept coming.
In the fifth round Schools went after
Dalton hammer and tOngs, and near the
close Of the round he drew down Dslton's
guard with a punch 10 the stomach, and
quick as a flash the Cheyenne man shot
his left across fun on the point of Dali
toms jaw, and the California man dropped
in heap on the mat and was counted
out. For a time It was feared Dalton was
fatally hurt. for his handlers could not re-
vive him until long after he had been re-
moved from the ring
Schools admirers went wild and carried
the Cheyenne lad from the ring on their
shoulders After the fight Dalton said
Schools can defeat many of the leading
men in the lightweight division, and
would give even Battling Nelson a hard
time in long battle.

BALL PLAYERS
LEAVE TODAY
Hammond Takes Entire Team
to Bozeman-BoyS Well
Pleased.

Manager Eddie Hammond of the Salt
Lake Intermountain baseball team, re-
caived a wire from President Farnsworth
yesterday to have the team in readiness
10 leave for BOZeman Mont, today, where
they will open the new league season on
SATURDAY When Hammond called the
boys together and gave them the news all
were glad that the team would remain in
tact and that they would be able 10 play
together under the same management
While all We're glad they were going TO
BOzemau, vet If ID vas put to q vote It
is safe 10 say the verdict would have been
unanimous to remain in Salt Lake.
The team likes this town and this town
likes the team. Tt is probably the most
popular bunch of ball players that was
ever gathered together here. There was
absolutely no dissatisfaction at any time
during the season. Every man played
for the good of the team as a whole and
on and off the diamond they were like a
lot Of brothers. tt low looks as IF the
whole team with the exception of Kelly
and Hunt would go to BOzeman.
President FarnsWOrth viii be i'm town
today and Wll so north with the team.
just what his deal is i'm Bozeman is hard
20 say but local fans viii hope the prOpO-
sition VIII give him a chance to clean up
nice bunch Of money this year
Believing the league had gone up for
good slim Hall accepted terms with Sc
attic and there will probably be a SQUAD
bic over which team gets him. Farms
worth will very likely refuse TO let Hall
20 and Seattle viii probably claim him.
ana the matter VIII be up to the presi-
dent of the league for settlement
The Butte players left in the CITY will
go north today with the Salt I.akers and
the last veStige of the IntermOuntain
league viii be gone Many of these play
ers VIII lind berths I'm the new Montana
state league and Il is probable Farms
