BURG Larry IN RlPTON.
Post toffice and General Store of
II. {. Day Broken Into.

Early Saturday morning burglars
affected an entrance into the general
store of Henry E. Day at Ripton in
which is also located the postoffice.
About two O'Clock in the morning Mr..
Day, who lives five rods distant, heard
an explosion and, dressing as quickly as
possible, hastened to his store, taking
the precaution to arm himself with
revolver. Approaching the store, Mr..
Day discovered two men just leaving
the building through window and when
the men saw him they opened fire.
Day responded and kept it up until he
had emptied all the chambers of his re-
vover. About a dozen shots in all
were exchanged. AS far as can be
learned all the shots went wild. The
men started in the direction toward
Hancock but owing to darkness were
soon lost sight of.
Upon entering his store Mr.. Day found
his safe blown pretty nearly to pieces.
The door was blown off, the knob hav-
ing been broken off and the opening
filled with dynamite. Seventy dollars
in money and $130 worth of postage
stamps had been taken. Valuable
papers were somewhat damaged but
not destroyed Itwas found that several
blankets had been taken from Mr..
Days stock and packed over the safe
to deaden the sound These were found
to be almost in shreds.
The burgulars had evidently intended
to fit themselves out with new suits of
clothing as several suits were scattered
about the store. Mr.. Day as soon as
possible telephoned to officers in various
directions and Deputy Sheriff N. j..
Sanford imediately started for Ripton
as did also other officers. On investi-
cation it was discovered that the burg
lars had left the whole collection of
stamps, money and other goods on the
window sill and made a hurried exit
through the window.
Officers went on the track of the
fugitives with an idea that they had
gone over the mountain to Hancock or
Granville, but no further trace of them
Il
has been found
Later developments in the blowing up
of the safe in the general store of Henry
Day at Ripton early last Saturday morn
ing, show that the burglars were anna
teurs The officials found that a black
smith shop located some distance from
the Day store had been entered during
Saturday night and that the monkey
wrench and cold chisel left behind by
the burglars was taken from this shop
The monkey wrench was to twist off
the handle of the safe and when this
was removed a small stick of dynamite
was placed in the socket from which
the handle had been removed. The of
ficers also found some powder caps
and about two feet of fuse. The in
jury to his safe and clothing ruined will
bring Mr.. Days loss up to about 5000.
Mr.. Days store was burglarized
just about two months ago and the
robbers at that time got about SIS in
money with few small articles from
the stock.

Bennington Man Receives 1914
Votes to as for Fred L. Webster
of Swanton, Democrat, and
One Scattering.
All opposition within the majority
party to the election of Frank E. Howe
for Speaker of the House had disap-
peared before the General Assembly
met Wednesday morning and no candi-
date was named against him except F.
L. Webster of Swanton, the choice of
the Democratic caucus.
1t was rumored late Tuesday evening
that H. S. Peck of Burlington had de-
termined to withdraw, but no confirma-
tion of this could be had from Mr..
Peck's friends. The developments of
Tuesday night and the many evidences
of Mr.. Howe's growing strength made
it plain that he was certain of an
election.
Mr. Peck, his principal opponent, de-
cided to withdraw and when that be-
came known the others who might have
been contestants for the honor decided
not to enter the race and when the pro-
per point was reached joined in second
ing the nomination of the man whose
success was assured.
The contest has left no sore spots
and no trading was necessary to secure
the result.
The election of Speaker was the
only matter of real Importance in the
organization of the General Assembly,
and everything else moved smoothly.

THE TROUBLES OF THE ORA.
MATlC CRITIC.

Probably no person is more severe
ly criticized than the dramatic critic.
One authority says that theatrical
criticism has no effect upon the for
tunes of a play Columns of adula-
ton will, it is asserted, fail to bring
a penny piece into the box office.
Neither will condemnation keep the
public away. AS a distinguished dra-
ma, st once said, "A play is like a ci-
gar If it is bad no amount of puff
fing will make it draw. If it is good
everybody wants box at once" Like
Mr. Lester Walton, writer and dra-
matte critic of the New York Age. He
is considered as one of the best Negro
critics in me country, and yet whe'
he makes criticism on some play or
act that is not what it should be, who
gets the worst of it? Well, the critic
don't miss his share.
