SEEKS THE OFFICE AGAIN.
Sheriff A. H. Thompson Announces He
Will Be a Candidate.

It has been generally understood in this
part of the county that Sheriff Arthur II.
Thompson of Bellows Falls was not to be
candidate for reelection, though he had
not made formal statement in the mat
ter. Doubt is dispelled now by the fol-
lowing letter:
Editor The Reformer;
Having been requested by many members
of the Windham county bar and others to
become candidate for denomination Tor
the Office of sheriff of Windham county,
| have consented to allow my name to be
presented to the Windham county repub-
Ican convention for that office.
A. H. Thompson.
Mr.. Thompson's friends claim. that he is
entitled to third term. They say that no
precedent has been established of only two
terms for sheriff and point to the
case of j. W. Melendy who served three
full terms. Mr.. Thompson's supporters
point to his record as police officer and
sheriff which has extended over period
of 90 years. They say that his long ex-
perience makes him the logical candidate
for the office if the voters of the county
want the best man for the place. This
makes three candidates for sheriff, as
Chauncey |. Knapp of Brattleboroo and
Adm F. Miller of Dummerston aspire to
the office. Both men have been announced
candidates for a number of weeks. Both
Mr.. Knapp and Mr.. Miller are deputy
sheriffs with long experience. Mr.. Knapp
will naturally have the support OF the
Brattleboro delegation.
In announcing Mr.. Thompson's inten-
ton to be candidate for sheriff the Bel
lows Falls Times explains his position In
the following:
This announcement may be surprise to
few who have been watching for Mr..
Thompson's job, but to the large majority
his candidacy and denomination and re-
election will seem natural and proper. Mr.;
Thompson's immediate predecessors held
the office for three terms and they were
certainly no better qualified for the posi-
ton than he is. He has been recently the
recipient of numerous compliments on the
efficient way in which he discharges the
duties of his office Among Others Judges
Hall and Miles have made special mention
of Mr.. Thompson's tact and good Judg-
ment in handling the sessions OF county
court, one calling him one of the very best
court officers in Vermont.
Mr.. Thompsons second term Will expire
December l. Previous to becoming high
sheriff he had been deputy for dozen
wears. He will probably have the undivid-
ed support of this end of the county in the
county convention.

Mrs. Stengelin suffered a slight eoneus'
sion of the brain. and was rendered un'

and one of her ankles was injured. MI.

injured.
The auto was practically DESTROYED
and that the occupants of tht ear were
moi killed or seriously hurt seems only
snort of miraculous. According to Mrs.
Reid, ithe auto was approaching the
crossing. which is dangerous one, at
n rate of speed not exceeding four
miles an hour. Mr.. Reid thought that
there was no ear coming, although, be-
cause of the bushes that obstruct the
sides of the road. il was difficult to see
in the direction of Berlin from when
the ear was coming.
Another auto almost directly in front
of Mr.. Reid s ear had slowed mp before
reaching the crossing and had then
zone across. Mr. Reid did the same
and was practically on the tracks be
fore he saw the ear. Then, he sand,

his whistle. Mr.. Reid swung his auto

The occupants were thrown out and
the ear overturned. Had ne turned
the auto to the right or kept straight
ahead Mr. Reid said it would have
been almost a certainty that every one
would have been killed. James II.
Clatkin. the manager of the Hartford
baseball team, brought Mr. and Mrs.
Reid and Mr.. Gillette back to Hartford
in his auto. and DeForest Lull of this
city brought Mr.. and Mrs. Stengelin
back. Mr.. Reid, who is the treasurer

he had but four points against him.

AUTOMOBILE WRECKED.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred T. Reid injured at
New Haven, Conn.

The Hartford, Conn.,. Courante OF
Wednesday contains an account OF the
serious automobile accident at New
Haven Tuesday in which Mr.. and Mrs
Fred T. Reid, formerly of Brattleboros
were injured. Mrs. Reid is a sister OF
Mrs. G. R. Simonds of Horton place.
Mr., Reid was employed at one time IN
Brattleboro as machinist. A letter
received by Mrs. Simonds Wednesday,
stated that both Mr.. and Mrs. Reld
were doing well. though they were the
most seriously injured of any in the
car. The account of the accident CIV
en- in the Courant is as follows: -
Returning from the Yale auto hill
climb at New Haven last evening Fred
T. Reid. driving a. National car, in
which were his wife, c. Howard Gil
lette. the president of the Auto club
of Hartford, and Mr.. and Mrs. F. c.
Stengelin of 81 Raymond street, ran
into a trolley car where the Berlin to
Middletown trolley tracks cross the
Berlin turnpike, a little over mile
from Berlin Centre, at 6.25 clock.
All the occupants of the car were
thrown out. Mrs. Reid had her Jaw
fractured and was badly cut on the lip.

But the girl stood without sound or

sky. a startled. wondering light in her
eyes which did not fade until the men

Then she breathed deeply and turned

The hazards of winter travel in the
north are manifold at best. but the
country which Emerson and his COM
panions had to traverse was particu-
larry perilous owing to the fact that
their course led them over the back
bone of the great Alaskan range, that
desolate. skyscraping rampant which
interposes itself between the bate of
the arctic seas and the tossing wilder
ness Of the north Pacific

a leather countenance from which
