THE ACADEMY CASE
One of the Most Important to Come
Before This Term of County
Court Recess Until Jan.

Caledonia County Court took a re-
cess last Wednesday until Friday of
last week when the judges returned
to hear some further business and
then the court took a recess until
Tuesday, Jan. 8, 1912.
One of the most interesting cases
to come before the court last week
was that of J. w. Scott, Collector of
Taxes VS.. ST.. Johnsbury Academy
and Trustee. This is a suit to collect
taxes on the Charlotte Fairbanks
Cottage, the Colby house, the Ide
house, the Club house and the Prin-
cipaFs residence; owned by
the Academy, for the years 1905,
1906, 1907. The Charlotte Fair
banks Cottage is not included in the
list for 1907.
The referee, w. A. Dutton, has
submitted his report but it was re-
committed to him for further find
ings. His report tells of the facts
he has found in the case and no
Judgment will be given by the court
until he has submitted his amended
report Simonds and Searless appear

fendant,

ACADEMY REPAIRS
The Chapel Being Remodeled- -Ex-
pected DedicatOry Exercises
will be Held at Opening.

The winter vacation at the Acad-
emy began yesterday noon and will
last until Monday evening, January
1, 1912. 1t is hoped that the repairs
which have been in progress for sew
eral weeks will be finished so that
dedicatory exercises can be held at
the first chapel exercises on Tuesday
morning.
The workmen are laying the new
hard wood floor in the chapel and
when finished it will give as nice a
floor for the social dances of the
school ais any in the village The
stage has been rebuilt and is now 20
IA feet in dimensions. Doors from
the side rooms open on the stage and
steps at the front entrance will lead
up from the audience room. To OBJ
viate the light in the rear of the
speakers, which has made it very
difficult to look at them in the past,
a partition has been built in the rear
of the stage with an arched effect
which will not only make it pleasant
er for the audience but very attract
i've in appearance. The stage will
be lighted with lights overhead and
foot lights that are not visible from
the audience room.
The wainscoting about the room
will be painted a dark color and
the walls covered with mild green
tinted paper which will give a very
mellow, easy light effect in the room.
In the rear of the room the two
windows have been cut down to the
floor and will not only increase the
light but afford one of the finest
views to be had from any point in
St. Johnsbury.
The large portrait of Sir Thaddeus
Fairbanks will be placed in the CEN
ter of the rear wall and the por-
traits of Erastus and Joseph Fair
banks will be hung on each side OF
it. A much better light will be
thrown on them in the new positions.
The old chandeliers will be re-
moved and Tungsten lamps suspend
ed from the trusses to light the hall
at night When completed ST. Johns
bury Academy will have one of the
best and most attractive assembly
rooms to be found in Vermont.

HAVE $4,000 HIDDEN
Yeggmen Recently Captured By
Messrs. Simonds and WOrthen
Tell Interesting Stories.

States Attorney Simonds returned
last Friday evening from Boston
where he went after attending the
hearing of the three yeggmen re-
Gently captured at Rouses Point,
confined in Caledonia county Jail and
then turned over to the federal an-
thorities in the New Hampshire dis
trict They were given hearing at
Concord, N. H., last Wednesday and
the grand jury indicted all three of
the men, Eddie McCarty, Arthur
Burns, alias t"Ihe Kid" and Charles
Clark, alias "Jed Prouty" They
were to receive their sentences yes
terday.
Mr.. Simonds was allowed to visit
with the prisoners and had very
interesting interview with Jed
Prouty. He is the brains of the
bunch and talked very freely with
Mr. Simonds. He was greatly i'm
proved IN appearance as compared
with the time he was arrested. At
that time he was nearly knocked out
by his battle with liquor but during
his two months of confinement and
enforced temperance his mind has
shrewd criminal of former days. He
talked with Mr.. Simonds about some
of their experiences and told of rob-
bing the safe in New Hampshire
store where they took a typewriter
near the safe into the far corner of
the room and covered it with nap
kins. When asked why they did
that Jed replied that they did not
want to damage that. Mr.. Simonds
reminded him there was $29 in the
money drawer at that time Jed
winked and said, 1--WE don't touch
money drawers. That's too dishon-
est"
He admitted to Mr. Simonds that
his crowd had $4,000 worth of Sc
curities and stickers that they had
stolen in their various raids buried.
Mr.. Simonds asked him to disclose
the place so the goods could be re-
turned to the rightful owners but
old Jed refused. Mr.. Simonds press
ed harder and told him it might be
possible to tighten his sentence very
materially if he would disclose. He
refused however saying that if he
did that everybody would know he
was burgla1~avnen he was released
and there would be nothing for him
to do but go to stealing again.

INJURED BY ENGINE.
Merrick Counsen~ in Critical Condi-
tion-Supposed He Was Caught
in ShaftinG.

Merrick Counsel, son of Mr..
and Mrs A. E. Counsel lies
at the home of his parents,
Al Pearl street, in a critical con-
dition from injuries received Monday
afternoon. He has not been con-
scious since the accident and so no
explanation of what happened has
been secured. There is concussion
of the brain and he is badly bruised.
1t is possible there is a fracture of
the skull but the physicians hardly
think so. But they admit that his
condition is critical.
The young man, who is about 20
years old was working alone on an
eight horse power gasoline engine in
the store house, of A. E. COUNSEL e
Son at 34 Railroad street. The first
that was known of the accident was
at 800 in the afternoon when he
came into the house in a daZed con-
dition with is clothing almost entirely
torn from his body. Doctors G. A.
Cramton, E. H. Ross and J. M. Al
len were summoned and cared for
him. No bones were broken but he
is terribly bruised on all parts of
his body.
When the family went to the store
house they found the engine stopped
and the door locked. When they
entered they found his clothing and
articles that he had in his pockets
thrown all about the room. His
watch which was found the next
morning stopped at 2.20 and it is
thought that was when the accident
occurred. 1t is supposed he was
caught on the shaft of the engine
and whirled around until his clothing
was so badly torn that he was
thrown on the floor. Although he
must have stopped the engine, lock-
ed the door and climbed over a fence
on his way to the house he has never
realized that he is hurt.

WON PRIZES AT CHICAGO.
George C.. Cary's Cattle Stood Well
At International Live Stock



The cattle George G. Cary sent to
the Chicago international Live Stock
Show came back to town last Sat
urday. One of the COWS he started
for Chicago was taken sick with milk
fever in transit and had to be left
at Ontario until the return.
His COW Fairholme Rosalie won
the first prize in the class of COWS
under three years of age. His COW
Virginia won the seventh place in a
field of 13 in the class of aged COWS
in milk. The cow Mr.. Cary sold to
May & Otis last fall won the first
prize in that class and another COW
sold from his herd that won the first
prize in this class last year was CIV
en- fifth place this year.
Tt will be seen that for two years
in succession the first place in the
class of aged COWS in milk has gone
to Mr.. Cary's cattle and this year he
also captured first for a milk COW
under three years of age.

A 12 MINUTE CAUCUS.
Old Board of Village Officers Quickly
Renominated Last Friday Evening.

Just 12 minutes after Village
Clerk P. E. May called the village
caucus to order in the Town Hall
last Friday evening the meeting was
adjourned and the voters on their
way home. There was quite good
attendance and the reason the bus1-
ness was so quickly finished was the
general desire that the present vii
iage officials succeed themselves.
There was but one test of opinion
and that was when nominations for
the first village trustee were called
for. The names of George A. Bur

GAINING ON SMALL POx.
Conditions About the County More
Favorable Than Last Week
None Here.


The conditions regarding small
pox seem better than week ago.
The only new case reported is at
Lyndon Corner in the family of
Amos Morse. In DanvilIe there has
been no new cases the past week and
no rumors of new cases elsewhere.
No cases have appeared in ST.
Johnsbury and Health officer Har-
riman knows of no suspicious cases.
He asked the Academy to close two
days earlier than it's calendar had
stated simply as a precaution. So
far as known there is no exposure
there but it was thought best to
close the school before it was time
for anyone who might possibly have
been exposed by Miss Campion to be
taken sick. 1t is not thought possi-
BILE anyone has been exposed in this
way but by closing two days earlier
all danger is removed.
