Hon. c. q. Austin, President OF the
Vermont Bar Association.
Dear Sir:-I wish to join you and the
Vermont Bar association in this tribute
OF respect and affection to Chief Judge
Rowell and ex-Judges Tyler and Powers.
/ | wish l could be with you. As that can
not be, will you kindly permit Inc word
or two on paper
Judge Rowell has been to me almost like
father. You all know how he has gone
about the State, year after year, always on
the lookout for some gleam OF promise
among the young members of the bar,
eager to welcome and encourage it. | am
only one of many who have had reason to
be grateful for his kind and helpful
words " hen they were needed most. No
one reioices more than do now, that he
still occupies the high place fate destined
him for, even from his cradle. II is my
deliberate judgment that no finer body OF
opinions can be culled from the rich
treasury OF Vermont reports than those
that have for their beginning "Rowell,
]. or better still-for they are always
growing better--a Rowell, G. j." ] beg
you to let him know, now, in the years
while he may still be with you, that you
hold him at bis worth-a great Judge
yes, great even for Vermont His por-
trait and Judge Tyler's hang side by side
on the wall OF my chambers in the court
house here, where | point to them with
special pride and turn to them often with
reverence and love.
Brothers of the bench and bar, send
fraternal greetings to you all.

Chicken Thieves Caught.
Deputy Sheriff, ID. d. Howe went to
Swanton Monday night after couple OF
chicken thieves, whom he escorted back
to town the next day. His prisoners
we're two boys, 1S-year-old Jesse John
5iseo and his younger brother, Harry,
who had been staying a few weeks at the
home OF their sister, Mrs. Irving Juckett,
in Brookfield
Monday, the 10th, they announced
their proposed departure on the express
that evening for Swanton and bade their
friends farewell. Instead Of leaving on
the express, however, they negotiated the
sale of 15 chickens to Adams Il Wright
and scurried around to find team in
which to go after their plunder. In the
course Of the evening livery team was
hired but too late for the poultry to be
delivered that night.
Bright aud early the next morning the
chickens were brought to Adams a
Wright before they bad fairly opened
their market for business and a check for
80 20 WAS given the boys in exchange for
Is nice looking birds. They departed at
once on the northbound train and were
well on their way when the roundup OF
stock in their sisters hennery showed
noticeable shrinkage in the size OF the
flock. neighbor, George Wilbur, also
discovered loss OF 35 chickens, but the
boys were not suspected until the sale to
Adams Il Wright became known. For
tunately, the chickens had not been
dressed before Mr.. and Mrs. Juckett came
to look over the lot, in which they were
able to identify one or two by peculiar
color and marks as belonging to their
flock, as undoubtedly the others did also.
Sheriff Howe was started out in pursuit
OF the siscos and at st. Albans he en-
gagged the services of High Sheriff George
C. Holmes OF FraDklin county. The two
officers proceeded to Swanton and sent
the local deputies, to whom the boys we're
known, to hunt out the chicken dealers.
The older boy was secured hrst bat ths
kept out of sight until afr. Howe
had left for St. Albsns with bis brother,
when he incautiously appeared, was
nabbed and hurried away to
join Jesse John in captivity OF the
Law.
On reaching Randolph Tuesday after
noon in the custody OF Sheriff Howe, they
we're given a hearing before Justice II.
w. Vail aud were bound over to the June
term OF Orange county court in the sum
Of $500. In default OF bail they were
taken at once to Chelsea by Sheriff Howe
and committed to Orange county jail.
