so badly frozen it will probably be nee
essary to amputato them. The woman
was robbed Of her pocketbook containing
S13, her marriage certificate, a check for
her trunk in which there was a draft for
$500 on a Chicopee Falls savings bank
and "A pass book on Salem bank in
which she had a deposit of 1886. The

trunk had been forwarded 10 Springfield,
Mass. and notified the police in that
city. When the woman's husband Joe
Marok, and his companion, Barton Laski
appeared at the railroad station Monday
to get the trunk they were at once ar
rested, The pocketbook, marriage GER
tifcate and other papers taken from the
woman were found in the possession of
the men. The men were taken to Fair
field, where they were placed under $40,
900 bonds each. charged with attempted
murder and robbery from the person. ~

ALL CARE PUT ASIDE
BrattIeboro Junket an Unquali-
fled Success
More than 200 Springfield Business Men
Enjoyed Slelehride and Supper-Their
Every Need was Provided For.


Business men on pleasure bent invaded
Brattleboro Friday afternoon, when 217
members of the Springfield, Mass, board
Of trade enjoyed a "junket' to this town
in furtherance of a policy which the
board has adopted of getting into closer
relation with the people of the towns in
the Connecticut valley which have COM
mercial relations with Springfield. The
Springfield men made their own plans,
but the Bratteboro board of trade as
sumed the responsibility of seeing that
nothing happened to mar the pleasure Of
the trip, and incidentally they added a
few features for the entertainment of
their friends from down the river and
manifested their hospitality in no uncer-
tain way. The visitors were enthusiastic
over their reception, and their enthusiasm
was in itself a sufficient recompense to
the local men for whatever they did to
make the occasion success.
A special train of four cars left Spring
field with more than 200 men at 1.25, and
on the rear was a canvas sign, Spring
field board of trade special" A few
more were picked up at Holyoke, North
ampton and Greenfield. Card playing,
smoking and singing enlivened the trip
to Brattleboro, and at the station they
were met by pungs from Mosher & Put
ney's stables, formerly H. r. Brown S
nVery, IN readiness Tor the nrSt special
feature-a sleighride. There were IS two
horse rigs and six four-horse bitches be-
sides several sleighs drawn by pairs.
Charlie" Chase, an ever-active member
of the party, a former Brattleboro man
and now engaged in the lumber business
in Springfield, distributed flags and then
the procession started.
Snow fell during the entire time that
the party was out, but all declared that
it only added fun to the ride The route
led past the Brattleboro Retreat farm
and the Estey Organ works, and people
waved welcomes from houses all along
the way. The spirit of fun which per-
vaded the gathering following the ride is
well brought out in the following written
by a member of the Springfield Repub-
lcan staff who was with the party;
About 4.30 the pungs unloaded at thC
entrance of the Vermont Wheel club
After wraps had been taken off the mer
partook of an appetizing and warming
buffet lunch. Then the buoyancy of every
one went unrestrained. Music was started
up and middle-aged men turned young
singing, dancing and laughing loud in the
wholesome joy of fine feeling and good
spirits. Secretary c. Henry Hathaway
OF the Springfield board of trade played
some rag time music that keyed men III
and put a tickle in their feet. Lett
