nothing to give out, both Mrs. Force

DEER DO MUCH DAMAGE
Wndham County Official Settles II
Dozen Cases Recently

Brattleboro, Aug. 14-Deer are do
ing much damage in the county and
County Fish and Game Warden Mar
win Howard of Londonderry has been
around the past week settling with
farmers for the depredations commit
ted by the animals. Within a week
he has had IL cases, five in Newfane,
four in Dummerston, two in Bellows
Falls, one in Vernon and one in Brat
tleboro
1t has cost the state from $3.50 to
$3.50 to settle with each farmer
whose crops have been damaged. Mr..
Howards report to the state commits
sioner at the end of the year will
show a good sum charged up to the
damage by deer. Mr.. Howard is of
the opinion that there are too many
deer in the county and the only way
to remedy the evil is to lengthen the
open season to three or four weeks
and allow the hunters to kill both
buck and doe.
He does not believe in needless
slaughter but thinks that laws should
be so enacted as largely to do away
with the deer damage. A deer was
shot in Brattleboro last week by Da.
ma Stafford while it was damaging
crops in his garden. 1t was a small
one, weighing from 60 to 70 pounds.

ATWOOD BREAKING
ALL RECORDS FOR
DISTANCE.
Has Already Covered $50 Mile
From Starting Point.
REACH ALBANY TOMORROW
Boston Aviator Expects to Complete
Flight from St. Louis to New
York Wednesday Night

Lyons, N. Y, Aug. 22.-Harry N.
Atwood, the young Boston aviator,
who is fast approaching the worlds
long distance record in his flight
from st. Louis to New York, landed
in field here yesterday afternoon af-
ter flying 104 miles from Buffalo with
out a stop. He is now $50 miles from
his starting point. Ascending in
Buffalo at 1920 p. M, Atwood, who
has flown seven days without mis-
hap, circled to a high altitude, turned
eastward and hit by a brisk wind
from the west shot over towns and
villages at a speed which kept train
dispatchers busy reporting his prog
ress. He alighted in Lyons at 5:31 p
m, having covered the 104 miles in
exactly two hours IL minutes. In
one instance he went four miles In
three minutes and on reaching Roch-
ester, 60 miles from Buffalo, he went
around the outskirts OF the city so
fast that people standing on the office
buildings could not get more than a
glimpse of him.
A train which left Buffalo at exact
ly the same time that Atwood did ran
in sight of the areoplane almost all
the way to Rochester, but arrived
there Is minutes after the aviator had
passed around the city and had disap-
peared in the east. The train, how
ever, had made a stop en- route. At
wood, who is now 1886 miles from New
York, has covered almost three
fourths of his 1265-miles fight. BY
tomorrow night ne hopes to reach AL
bany and on Wednesday In a one-day
fight down the Hudson he expects to
break the worlds record for distance
and finish his trip, landing at Coney
Island in New York before shutdown
For the $50 miles already covered he
has been in the air actually 10 hours
and 5S minutes.
Atwood will have broken the
worlds long distance record when he
| dies along the Hudson south OF AL
bany at point between Greendale
and Rhinecliff. At Rhinecliff he will
have flown lt77 miles or just 10 miles
lNuoIt lldu the pttStut ltNOiu VI AAp'
miles, won by European aeronauts In
| flights over Germany. His flying
time he expects will be ten days, as
compared to 80 days taken by the pre-
sent recordholders. At the finish the
Bostonian in distance will have brok
ell the worlds record by 101 miles.
II was between Fast Palmyra and
Newark that he made the best record
time OF the day, covering the foul
miles between these two points In
khree minutes. Getting In toward Ly
on, Atwood found he has not sufiic
lent gasoline to carry him on TO Sy
racuse so he picked out clear field
near the town and glided down to the
ground.
Atwood's fight today will be to Sy
racuse and Utica, with stops at eaci
of these cities and a possible detoul
to Auburn. lie intends not to reaci
Albany before tomorrow night At A
bany he win provide his blplane will

END SEASON WITH
VICTORY OVER
CUBAN GIANTS
Prindle's Three-Bagger Won
Game In Ninth Inning.
CUBANS WERE IN THE LEAD
Long Hit to Right Field Sent Two
Runners over the Plats-Score
5 to q

With the score 4 to in favor of
the Cuban Giants and two men on
bases in the last half of the ninth in
ming Prindle lifted the ball out into
right field for three base hit and Ben
nington had won its last game of the
season by score of to 4. Had
Prindle been in his usual form he
would have been able to have made
the circuit of the bases on the swat.
There was a goodsized crowd in
attendance at the final game and it
was an excellent exhibition. One
strange feature was the fact that out
of the four hits made by the colored
players of Johnny Bosk. all but one
came from the bat of the fast center
fielder, Clark.
For three innings Bosk retired the
Cubans without hit but in the fourth
Clark followed up an error by Brill
with the first of his three hits and an
other error by Finnegan put two run
ners over the plate. Clark hit safely
the second time in the 9th and stole
second but the side was retired on
easy outs.
In the ninth Clark was the first man
up and hit the ball into right center
for one of the longest drives ever seen
on the grounds. The batter made the
circuit of the bases on the hit An
error by Delaney permitted the next
batter to score.
Hits by McCrehan and Brill and an
error in left field gave Bennington 2
runs in the second. A base On balls
and Finnegan's three-bagger In the
fifth registered another tally.
During the sixth, seventh and
eighth innings neither team scored
and it looked as though the home
team were going to win the game 3
to 2. Then came Clark's homer in
the ninth and the long fly to right
field permitting another run and the
Cubans were one to the good.
In the last half of the inning Brill,
the first batter was passed. Burning
ton laid down a bunt along the first
base line and advanced Brill to sec
Iond. Bosk hit to short and Brill
made a break for third. On an at
tempt to catch the runner at the dir
~ corner the ball was badly handled
land both runners were safe. Then
came Prindles wind.up hit into the
right garden and the game and the
season were ended. The score:

PAYING TAXES UNDER PROTEST
Railroads Object to Paying In 6urling-
ton, II Is Said

Burlington, Aug 19.-There is a
possibility If not probability, that
the taxes imposed by the city of Bur
lington against the Rutland and Cen
trial Vermont railroads, may not be
collected until the law courts decide
whether or not the municipality has
or has not the right to impose and
collect taxes on railroad property, as
specified by statute. This subject has
long been one of controversy, the
railroads Directing to payment of
taxes on their property to the towns
or cities through which they pass, in
addition to the regular tax paid by
railroads to the state.
AT the last session of the legisla-
ture, new law was adopted compell-
ing railroads to pay the ordinary pro-
perty taxes in places where they own
ed real estate, on property not used
for railroad purposes The assessors
OF Burlington are inclined to think
that the two railroads here, own
much in that class, and have taxed
them accordingly, the tax against the
Rutland being $500 and that against
the Central $500. II is understood
that the railroads put a more liberal
construction on the clause which
states that their property not actu-
ally used for railroad purposes shall
be assessed, claiming that most II
not all the property so assessed here
is used for railroad purposes" in
the broadcast sense. The Rutland has
already paid its taxes under protest,
and the Central has not yet paid at
all, although they have 20 days be
yond the limit, August IA, being non
resident taxpayers.

ABANDON CAVALRY POST
Possibility That Post Ethan Allen
May Be Lost to Vermont

Burlington, Aug. 22.-lt is said that
there is a possibility that the mill
tary post may be combined with
Plattsburgh barracks in the forma-
ton of a brigade post. Important
plans are said to be under considera-
ton by the general staff Of the war
department concerning the mounted
troops of the army.
A recommendation will shortly be
made to establish at least one large
Cavalry post and possibly two garris-
ons of that branch of the army 1t
is also proposed in some quarters to
abandon Fort Ethan Allen as a cav
airy post.
One plan is to establish cavalry
posts in those parts OF the country
where the climate is favorable to cav
airy maneuvers and training, where
it will be less expensive to obtain cav
airy horses and where there can be
obtained a supply of forage without
the additional cost of transporting it
long distances.

HOPE TO END DOCK STRIKE
Unions Hold Meetings and Pass Res
olutlons Sending Men Back
to Work

London, Aug. 22.-The railway men
throughout the United Kingdom are
returning to work and 1t is hoped with
in a few days to have the great tran
sit systems working under normal
conditions. Following the announce
ment Saturday night that the rail
way managers and their employees
had agreed to permit commission
to settle their difficulties came the
reassuring news in London last night
that there was great hope of ending
the lockers strike at Liverpool and
that the workers there soon would re-
sumo their duties. No rioting as a
result OF labor troubles was reported
yesterday, except at Dublin, where
the police and constables came into
collision with mob which was in
sympathy with striking newsboys who
were endeayoring to prevent the dis
tribution of newspapers. Numerous
persons had their heads cracked in
the melee, and several shops were
looted.
The railway workers held meetings
throughout the country yesterday to
celebrate what they claimed to be a
victory over the railway companies
With the exception of 1000 men of the
North Eastern railway company which
was not party to the strike settle
ment agreement, and 5000 Manches
ter men, all the unions passed reso
/ lutions in favor OF a resumption OF
work. The Northeastern company's
employed demand an eight hour day
and two shilling weekly advance in
wages, with minimum weekly wage
of p shillings, about $3.50.
Although service on the other lines
has not yet been completely restored
the men in most cases presented
themselves for duty yesterday, and {
/ start was made toward remedying tbs
