ARRESTED FOR TALKING
Beggar Who Posed as Deaf Mute
Gave orders for Breakfast
at a Hotel.

Among the recent arrivals at the
county Jail is a man who gave his
| name as Robert D. Lawrence. He
was arrested at the st. Johnsbury
House Sunday and was booked at
the jail as tramp. People com
planned that he was soliciting funds
as a deaf mute and that his actions
were suspicious. At breakfast Sun
day morning he was heard to give
his order in clear and distinct
voice and this proved his undoing.
At the county Jail he is one of the
talkative inmates, and the authori-
ties are being congratulated upon
their remarkable cure of an afflic-
tion, which according to his papers
has handicapped Lawrence since his
childhood.
He was recently arrested in
Montpelier but maintained his si-
lence and was released with written
orders to leave town.
Held For County Court.
At Lyndonville Monday, J. A.
Waterman was placed under bonds
of $500 for his appearance at the
December term of court to answer
to the charge of furnishing IA
year old girl with liquor.
Dwight L. Moody of Peacham was
arrested at his home Monday by
Deputy Sheriff George F. Winch and
brought. into municipal court on
the charge of assault with intent to
kill. The trouble grew out of
hunting trip which Moody and two
companions took to Warren, N. H.
On their return Saturday it is claim
ed that all were more or less under
the influence of liquor and a general
fight was started. John Hay, one
of the trio, knocked Moody down,
and then started to drag away a
deer, the only trophy of the chase.
Moody couldn't see where Hay had
any right to the deer and SO told
him, and it is claimed, punctuated
his remarks, by taking a pot shot at
his erstWhile companion. Mrs.
Moody hapepned on the scene in
time to knock the gun out of her
husbands hands and thus prevented
further trouble. Moody was admit
ted to bail in the sum of $500, which
was furnished.

INJURED BY A BLAST.
Italian at the Hospital Was Trying
to Dig Out Dynamite.

Patsey Martelle, an Italian en-
ployed by the H. P. Cummings Con-
struction Co., who are digging a
cellar for til Nurses Home at
Brightlook hospital, was somewhat
bruised and burned by the explosion
of blast of dynamite yesterday
morning. The blast which had been
placed Monday failed to discharge
and so was left over night when
the dynamite was frozen
Peter Landry, the foreman, states
that Martelle spoke to him about
cleaning out the blast, and he told
him not to do it, Mr.. Landry is an
expert at such work and makes a
practice of doing such work him
SELF Unbeknown to Mr.. Landry,
Martelle got a spoon and began
tamping on the blast and discharged
the dynamite. He was so near, that
the blast tore the flesh and burned
one side of his right hand and lacer-
ated the right side of his face and
forehead, some of the matter being
blown into his eye and injuring
that. He was taken to the hospital
and cared for where it was thought
yesterday that no serious results
will follow.
The Construction Co. are working
on the cellar and foundation for the
new Nurses Home and are obliged
to blast rock for almost all the ex-
cavation. They expect they will
have the work done in about two
weeks.

BARGAIN DAY FRIDAY.
St. Johnsbury Merchants Offer Un
usual Attractions.

St. Johnsbury merchants will hold
their third monthly bargain day on
Friday of this week. They realize
that the day after Thanksgiving is
not the best for trade but after dis
cussion it was decided best to hold
to the plan of having bargain day
the first Friday of every month.
The fact the day comes at an un-
favorable time has served to spur
the merchants to an effort to give
better attractions than ever. Con-
sequently those ladies who get their
Thanksgiving dishes done in time
to start out Friday morning will find
real cause for material thanksgiv-
ing in St. Johnsbury stores on the
third monthly bargain day.

J. M. Aliens Buick and wagon be-
longing to Charles ToWle, job
teamster, will require several new
parts. The doctor was going north
at a moderate pace and had just
turned out for a team when Mr..

stable directly in front of the on
coming auto. One shaft of the wagon
went directly into the car, twisting
the seat and top around and
knocking the mud guard out of COM

and a shaft broken, but luckily
neither of the men was injured,
and both admit that it was an un-
avoidable accident.
