EARLY MORNING RESCUE.
Dummerston Man Hero of One Near
Judge Property.

Carl Newton, of Dummerston, figured il
a rescuing episode in Brattleboro's deadly
miasma belt some time Friday night OF
early Saturday morning Many of the de
tails are lacking but enough was learned
by Chief of Police George Wilson and Off
Ger i. j. Belden to convince them that
Mr.. Newton played the lone hero act in
the waters of the pond that surrounds the
Judge house on Vernon street.
Shortly after o'clock Saturday morning
the officers saw a man coming up Main
street from the bridge. He was in a hurry
and went out Elliot street on a run. Be.
fore the blue.eoats could frame up plan
Of capture the man retraeed his steps and
few minutes later returned with a woman
whom he escorted to the Brooks House.
The officers trailed the mysterious man and
found him to be Mr., Newton. From frag-
ments Of his conversation Chief Wilson
learned that Mr. Newton's companion had
either walked or fallen into the water near
the Judge house. A glance at the woman
satisfied the officers that she had certainly
been in water and it might have been I'M
der Niagara Falls so far as appearances
went Mr.. Newton said that he wished to
reach Dummerston in time to superintend
the loading of a consignment Of milk that
morning. He was willing to pay well for a

LIQUOR PRESCRIPTION LAW.
Apparently Some Druggists Are Unfa
miliar With It's Provisions.

Just what the law calling for the record
ing of liquor prescriptions amounts to is
somewhat doubtful While it requires a
true record of all liquor prescriptions filled
by druggists there are evidently ways to
get around the intent and the letter of the
law. H. IT, Davis, a Bellows Falls drug
gist, evidently has not learned of the re
uuirements of the law governing the re-
cording of prescriptions, for some days ago
he wrote to County Clerk f. ID. L. Stowe
and asked for book in which to make his
record 1t was sent to him and he filled it
from cover to cover and made a requsition
for another. When Clerk Stowe exam
ined the book and found that Mr.. Davis
was making return OF prescriptions filed
over a year ago he doubted whether the
druggist was sane and before he sent him
another book made inquiries as to whether
the man was entitled to one. The states
attorney advised the county clerk that Mr..
Davis was a druggist holding a hfth-class
liouor license and the second book was sent.
Evidently Mr.. Davis had not read the
law concerning the issuing of a liquor pre-
scription else he would have discovered
that it is highly essential for the name OF
the person requiring such liquor to appear
on the prescription. Mr.. Davis has report
ed to the county clerk prescriptions filled
for stranger" Man from Grafton" Man
from Alstead N. H" and other vague and
shadowy individuals that possibly may have
some connection with mythology "The
Man from Alstead" was served twice by
Mr. Davis and his malady must have been
dangerous one as both prescriptions were
filled the same day.
A study of the prescriptions filed by 10
cal druggists with the price received for |
each sale of liquor made on such prescrip I
tions hardly bears out the statement that
license fee above $50 year would be ex
cessive. One of the local druggists reported
