Will Have to Face County Court This
Term-Gave Officers Long Chase.
States Attorney X. W. Simonds
was at home yesterday which is a
comparatively strange thing of late
as he has been following for days
the trail of Thomas Morrison at
whose place such a choice collection
of liquor was found last week. Mr..
Simonds used up some mileage but
he did not turn back until he had
Mr.. Morrison as travelling COM
panion.
The party arrived at four o'clock
Monday and Morrison is in custody
awaiting the disposition of his case
in county court. He is liable to be
tried on any or all of the charges of
selling liquor, breach Of the peace
and statutory charge. He led the
officers through Manchester and
Boston and was finally captured in
Haverhill, Mass. Although he had
tried hard to escape the officers he
yielded gracefully when caught and
came back without demanding ex-
tradition papers.
Lorne Elwyn i'm Jail.
Lorne Elwyn is not filing week
engagements at the theatres this
week. In fact he did not fill out his
engagement here last week as his
relations with LA Cook were such
that the officers arrested him. Miss
Cook is 16 year old girl who was
employed as a domestic in family
here. Elwyn has wife and child
in New Jersey and so the charge
against him is serious He was I'M
able to secure bail and is taking
quite a rest at Sheriff Worthen's
hospitable quarters.
Other Cases.
Alcide Gauthier was in police
court recently and fined for a second
offense of intoxication. Hisbi1l was
$2104 which he paid
Grace Foster was arrested last
week for alleged breach of the peace
but there has been no hearing.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.

Through the endeayors of a few of
the loyal alumni of St. Johnsbury
Academy an Alumni Athletic Assoc
citation was formed Saturday night
and Joseph Fairbanks of the class of
80 was elected president and A. G.
Sprague of the class of '98 secretary
and treasurer. The organizers of the
association are sending out this
week circular appealing to each
alumnus of the Academy to give at
least one dollar year to the new or
ganization. The st. Johnsbury al
umni will be visited personally or
reached by letter and it is hoped by
this means to raise enough money to
rebuild the campus fence and grand
stand. The baseball team are very
DESTROYS of having a coach this
spring and if the alumni are en-
thusiastic in supporting an athletic
organization there will be no trouble
in securing a coach and also make
the needed repairs at the campus.

GREAT BEND BOY FORTUNATE.

A Great Bend boy, Virgil C. Bryant,
has just invented a machine which
may revolutionize the bean indus
try in California. He took a four
years course in the Kansas State Ag.
ricultural College and was graduated
in the class of 1910. He took the
agronomy course and studied crops
and farm machinery.
Last year he received a master of
science degree at the University Of
California. He worked in the agri-
cultural department of the university
to help pay his expenses. While in
the employ of that department last
winter he was sent into southern Cal
ifornia TO investigate the bean crop.
Lima beans and beets are the main
crops of that section.
When Bryant arrived he found the
natives piling beans on the vine by
hand. He began work at once on a
machine that would pile beans and
only snort time ago had VI patented
The machine is simple but does the
work economically and is more eff,
cient than hand work.
Mr.. Bryant had offers of small for
tunes for his invention but refused
them. He has sold the right to sell
the machines to Pacific coast firm
That firm will pay him a heavy roy,
atty on all sales inaddition to a cash
bonus. The manufacturers have also
agreed to pay him a Ake royalty il
they sell any other bean piler.

THE cLAFLlN PICNIC.

Notwithstanding the bitter disap-
pointment caused by the failure of
the main attraction. and the worry
caused by the burning of the garage
and light plant, the boys over at Claf
lin pulled off a very successful two
days picnic last week. A very large
crowd was present the first day, and
a rattling good crowd the second day
although the news that the airship
man had failed to arrive, cut the at
tendance down a great deal. This is
not the fault of the management.
They entered into contract in good
faith with the airship man. and did
all they did with the understanding
that he would be there. The fact
that he did not come was more of a
disappointment to the good people of
Clafhn and those directly promoting
the affair than to those who travelled
over there to see it. Those who did
go to the picnic had fine time
Everything else was there to be seen
and no pains were spared by the Cit.
izens 10 make the affair a success
Clafln won the ball game both days
defeating the fast amateur team Of
Hollywood, the first time this bunch
has been beaten this year. We Ger.
tainly hope that our enterprisfng
friends on the north east will not
permit the big disappointment of this
occasion to keep them from having a
big picnic another year. Excellent
music was furnished by the Hois.mg,
ton band.
