House and Contents Destroyed by Fire.

House and Contents Destroyed by Fire.
Tuesday morning about l o'clock the
alarm of fire was given by a party of
young men who had been from Bellows
Falls to Putney to Il basketball game.
They went to the scene of action at
once, thinking someone might be in the
house, which is situated near Grout
crossing and owned by Mrs. Mary Jen-
nison, daughter of Mr.. Grout, from whom
the station takes its name. Mrs. Jenni
son is spending the winter with her
children in Massachusetts. and Mr.. and
Mrs. Ernest Wright, who occupied one
tenement, We're in 'Walpole. y few ar
ticles of furniture belonging to Mrs.
Jennison We're saved, but Mr.. and Mrs.
Wright found themselves destitute of
everything except the clothes they had
on. They were married last June and
all their wedding presents besides a good
supply of furniture and % hens had been
swept away in such a short time.
Mrs. Jennison was born in the house
a few years spent in Walpole. The fire
took in one corner of the barn, and the
theory held by most people is that it
was the work of a tramp. Two tramps
stayed in the station at CIRCUITS the night
before and finding themselves locked
out the next night it is thought they
tried the barn, but nothing has been
found to prove the theory correct. Much
sympathy is felt for both parties who
have lost by the fire. Mr.. and Mrs.
Wright are staying for the present at
Mr.. Wright's fathers.

 Come up Before This Panel.

The third panel of the circuit court jurors was opened yesterday morn ing by Circuit Clerk Wilmington and turned over to Sheriff Webb to be summoned to appear in court on May 22.
