Rutland people who purchased
stock in the Ell Progresso Banana
company from the company's repre-
sentative, Rev. Claude M. Sever
ance last summer will be interested
to learn that their shares include
worthless swamp lands in Honduras.
Rev. Mr.. Severance and four other
men constituting the company were
arrested by post Office and central
detectives in their offices in the
Tribune building in New York city
Saturday. Two of them were bailed
out, but the other three, including
Rev. Mr.. Severance, were taken to
the Tombs to await action of the
court.
Mr.. Severance's duties were to
travel throughout the New England
states selling stock in this company
and his headquarters during the
greater part of the summer were in
Rutland. In fact, his family were
there for while. Although the
company was organized two years
ago it was just recently that the
authorities suspected any crooked
deal" At the time of the raid
Rev. Mr.. Severance was not in the
offices, but he returned later and
was arrested.

Morgan type for which the conser-.
vative Vermont breeders have stood.
The mares Cherry Ripe, owned by
Spencer Borden, Belle Fellows, own
ed by A. r. Van Tassel, Carrie and
Jenny c., owned by E. A Darling,

Caught A Golden Eagle.

H. E. White of Halifax captured
a magnificent golden eagle last week.
While Mr.. White and William Nor
rison, neighDor, were watching
the eagle on nearby tree, the bird
suddenly swooped downward with
incredible swiftness into a flock of
ducks and guinea fowl in the yard.
Both men rushed at the bird as it
drove it's talons into a guinea hen
and started to leave the ground.
The eagle measured nine feet from
tip to tip and was slow in ascending.
Mr.. White grasped both feet of the
eagle and brought the bird back to
the ground where it was bound and
carried into the house. The bird
was a glossy black, with the ex-
option of golden head and
shawl around its neck, which gives
the bird it's name. Across the Shout
derS is a white spot.
