IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
"Picket" COburn Figured i'm a Horse
Deal Saturday Night.

Leon C'Pickett') Co5urn, who has
figured quite prominently in the lime
light of police court news a number
of times, has originated a method for
replenishing his Golfers that has the
selling of gold bricks and like get
rich-quick' schemes beaten to "fraz-
zle' with the result that he is once
more reclining on soft bunk in one
of the cells at the county bastile.
Coburn had taken on quite a cargo
OF that stuff" which has the power
to compel one to want to do something
"devilish" Saturday night at about
o'clock, when not having anything in
particular to occupy his attention, he
strolled in the yard at the rear of the
Blanchar block. where he committed
the offence for which he will without
question receive a sentence of no
short duration.
| Ellis Henry and Charles Martin of
South Barre, who do a considerable
business in the way of trading horses
| drove to this city Saturday night with
a team. each Of the men owning
| horse of the pair. They drove here
with the desire to trade either one or
both of the horses. Early in the even
| ing Henry Carr of Berlin drove into
the yard at the rear of the Blanchard
block aud went into Brooks store to
do some trading.
The two men from South Barre
also drove into the rear of the block
thinking they might make trade
there, as a large number Of the far
mers, when in the city. leave their
horses in the rear of the block. AS
they drove around the corner of the
| building they noticed Coburn standing
near Carrs horse, which is an excel
lent animal. When they drove nearer
according to the men, Coburn held up
his hand and asked them if they want
[ ed to trade horses, which was exactly
what Henry and Martin were looking
for and it did not take them great
while to reply that they did, at the
same time seeing that the animal
which Coburn wanted to trade was
good piece of horse flesh. They in
uuired as to what terms Coburn de-
stree to trade and he offered them
Carr's horse for one of the team
which they had driven in, and S25 to
boot.
Martin and his companion refused
TO give the amount and Coburn then
offered to take SIS, but the men refus-
ed more than SO and after consider
able arguing Coburn accepted the
amount offered. He then explained
that he had to do some trading and
told the two men to change the horses
which they started to do While they
were thus engaged someone Informed
Mr.. Carr of what was taking place
and he at once went out, accompanied
by o. H. Richardson. and put. stop
to the proceedings.
The two horse traders at once real
| lied that they had been done after
the real ownership of the animal had
been explained to them, and at once
reported the case to the police.
Coburn was found at the home OF
his sister, Mrs. Sullivan, on East LID
erty street by Officer Connolly, and
arrested on charge of intoXication.

EUROPEAN TRIP ENDS.
LAST OF INTERESTING SERIES OF
TRAVEL LETTERS BY MISS
SARA n. PARKER.

Delightful Coaching Trip Through
Scotland-Visit TO the Country OF
Burns and Scott-Places of Historic
Interest In Edinburgh-The Home
ward Voyage.
S. S. Columb' Sept. 10, 1910
Dear friends once az h:
The last week of our land journey
ing is now memory and soon even
the sea trip will be over. Then we will
have to adjust ourselves to the routine
of life once more and settle down
But life will never be just the same
again because we have seen a bit oil
the world and realize that 1t is big
one after all, even though our own
little corner sometimes seems to fill
most of the space. There are many
people worrying around this ball and
along about the same fundamental
lines, but the variations are marvel
Gus to behold. The value of the trip
abroad lies as much in seeing the point
of view of the different people as in
seeing their art galleries and cities
If we have grown little less sure
that our American way is the only
way, and that others may have even
gone ahead of us in some minor par
ticulars, we are none the worse for
the trip, as we are still convinced that
America is the one place we want to
live in.
When we left AmblesIde for Keswick
by coach, we did not realize that it was
going to seem so much like home. The
roads were like housefloors, and to
carry the similG further, boys and
men were sweeping them clear early
that morning, all along the way. What
wonder that the country appears Sc
tidy, with every piece of litter picked
up, when a neal ly continuous rain
washes the trees ald fields and brooms
are used on the ighways. Here the
mountains come close and the clouds
and mist hover over them, while ir-
regular and fascinating little lakes
reflect the frowning peaks in their
dark waters, but rift in the clouds
shows a st. Johns vale as shining
and verdant as any in sunny Italy
