CHARGED WITH BURGLARY.
Archie Allen of HardwicI1 in Jail
Awaiting Trial.

Arthur Allen of Hardwick was
brought here Friday by Constable
Rand to await trial on the charge of
burglary. 1t seems that Allen was at
one time employed as farm hand by
O. j. Smith, a whip peddler, and ac-
cording to Aliens own story Smith
had told him on the quiet that he had
$500 concealed in the house. 1t was
evidently the prisoners intention
to cop this amount. It is
alleged that he made several searches
during Mr.. Smiths absence on the
road, and made the mistake of con-
fiding his purpose to his friend. This
pal notified the authorities and Thurs
day night the house was surrounded
and Allen taken in tow. He failed to
locate the $500, but told reporter
that he completely fooled the officers,
by throwing them off the track of a
fellow "Raffles'' whom he claims was
in the house at the time. His evident
pleasure at thus pulling the wool over
their eyes, although landed in Jail
would remind one of the farmer in
New York. In telling a friend of his
experiences, he said, Eyes, they got
my money and watch, but by Gosh
they didn't get me on my back He
was given a hearing Friday and placed
under bonds of $1,000 for his appear
ance at the December term of county
court. In default of bail he is confin-
ed in the county Jail.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
Two Cases Of the Dread Disease
Reported in Mild Form in St.
Johnsbury.

There are two cases of infantile
paralysis in ST. Johnsbury, one in the
family of Alfred Wright on Mt. Yer
non street, and one in the family of
Reuben Sherman near the Playground.
There have been one or two other sus-
picious cases that have given rise to
the story that there were four or
more cases in town. They did not
prove to be the real disease and only
two cases have been reported to the
health officer. The cases so far have
been rather mild and there have been
no deaths.
The disease is infectious and if it
becomes an epidemic is a very serious
aff1ictiOn in a community. About IS
per cent Of the cases are among child
rem from one to five years old and it
is very seldom they entirely recover
from it. The condition here is not
serious enough yet to advise a general
sending of young children away but
it is suggested by physicians that
people keep their children at home
and not let them meet together a great
deal at present.

best men.

ated:-

Ryegate.

adopted.

A MYSTERIOUS FIRE.
Broke Out Saturday Evening in the
Athenaeum House on Main
Street.

An alarm from box 36 at o'clock
Saturday night for a fire in the ell of
the Atheneaum house brought out the
largest crowd in years and caused a
property loss estimated at over $4,000.
The house is occupied by John Somer-
vile, w. D. Wilcomb, and DR.. Char
lotte Fairbanks office. Mrs. Wilcomb
and son Archie had been in camp for
two weeks and returned on the 7.15
train that night, Archie going through
to West Burke, and the first he knew
of the fire was when he returned at
midnight and went to his room. Mr..
and Mrs. Wilcomb retired early and
both were asleep when aroused by the
alarm ringing. She started for a near
room to look out of a window, but
when she opened the door into the hall
was driven back by the smoke and
tainted. Mr.. Wilcomb then realized
where the fire was and groped through
the smoke to where his wife lay on the
floor. He got her to a window where
she partly revived and f1remen assisted
them to Charles Peck house and for
tunately no i'll effects followed her ex-
perience. The fire was confined to the
ell part of the house which contains
the woodsheds for both tenements
and there had been no fire in either
shed for three weeks, SO the cause of
the fire is mystery. When first seen
by Mrs. F. O. French, who was draw
ing the shades in the Atheneaum, the
names were coming from a rear WIN
dow and she Immediately despatched
Mr.. French to the alarm box.
Most of the mem bers of Hose were
in their house at the time and re-
sponded promptly, having two lines of
hose laid and the water on one before
the alarm finished ringing. Hose
companies and 1 were also called,
and the fire was quickly put under
control
The loss to the house is estimated
at $2500, a great deal of which was by
smoke, as in the Wilcomb tenement
only a screen door was shut between
the main part and the ell. The place
is insured for $500. Mr. Wilcomb's
loss will be from $500 to $1,000 with
insurance of $500, and Mr.. Somer-
vile and DR.. Fairbanks will suffer to
the extent of $500 and $3.50, covered
by insurance.
