street hose building. The bailiffs give
the team the rent of the room, and a
hose cart has been transferred from
the Phoenix Hose house on South Main
street to the new quarters of the team.
With the $75 won at the Valley fair
the members of the team decided to
start a sort of a savings bank. The
money was deposited in local bank,
and all of the receipts of the OrganiZa-
ton are deposited to the same account.
Proceeds of the several dances already
given this season have made material
additions to the organization s treas
ury. Every member of the team has
an equal share in the fund which is
accommodating and drawing interest.
With the ushering in of the new year
a new set of rules was adopted by the
members of this organization. For a
number of weeks no particular atten-
ton was given to systematic training.
Beginning Jan. ! no member of the
team is permitted to smoke, for it is
proposed to have team next fall that
will bring back trophies and money.
Probably a trip will be made to Bur
lington and Plattsburg, and it is not
unlikely that Westport and Ticonde-
tractive to 90 after. The managers of
the local team are going to make an at
tempt to organize a series of contests
between Greenfield. Bellows Falls,
Claremont, N. H., Brattleboro, Keene
and Hinsdale The winter is to be
spent in putting the men in physical
condition that will enable them to run
with the best. Every man on the team
is an enthusiast, and the majority of
them are men with no little reputation
locally as athletes. A few are in the
husky class. 1t is expected that win
ter's training including bit of stiff
work occasionally with the gloves, sup.
plemented by plenty of exercise with

the bag, clubs and bells once and per-
haps twice each week, will put the
team in splendid shape. In addition to
the winters gymnasium work the hose
team has plenty to do in the way of
basketball, and its squad promises to
give Brattleboro people several inter-
esting games before the season is over.
Though the organization came into
being as one to be devoted to sports it
promises to be more than that, for the
amount of money already turned into
its treasury is an incentive to the men,
bers to make an effort to increase their
bank account, and a spirit of thrift is
being encouraged. Some time there
will be distribution of the funds
among the members but probably not
before the treasury shows an unhealthy
surplus. The members, many of whom
are members of other organizations and
societies, claim that they have got the
original ''good thing when it comes
to savings scheme and they propose
to keep it alive by showing to the pub
lie their interest in the organization.

Brattleboro has u score and more of
social organizations, secret societies
and clubs, but among those of recent
organization is one that promises more
than the advancement of the social wei
fare of its members. The Brattleboro
hose team, while primarily sporting
organization for the development of
the physical rather than the mental
equipment of its members, bids fair to
prove OF some consequence as an insti-
tuition for the saving of money. The
hose team was organized early in Sep
TENDER, and it was at the Valley fair
the last of that month that the team
distinguished itself by defeating Hins-
hose race, doing the stunt in 2S1a sec
onds. The team ran 153 yards, laid
$50 feet of hose, broke the coupling,
and fitted the nozzle. As soon as the
fair was over it was decided to make
a permanent organization of the team
and to put the members in shape for
heavy work next fall when the hose
racing season opens.
The men constituting the team are
all in the class of quick steppers, and
the stunts they 90 through in their
are not of the kind that mollycoddles
indulge in. The members of the team,
are John j. Clune, Earl Howe, C. Wild

GEOLOGICAL CONFERENCE
IN ARBUCKLE MOUNTAINS

Norman, Okla. Aug. 2S.-A notable
geological conference will be held in
the Arbuckle Mountains this week. DR..
j, w. Beede, professor of geology at
! Indiana University; DR.. Chas. n. Gould
state geoogist of oklahoma; Mr.. f.
| G. Green, assistant state geologist of
Missouri and L. c. Snider assistant
Igeologist of oklahoma, left yesterday
for few days tramp across the noun.
tains in the vicinity of Dougherty and
Sulphur Each of these gentlemen is
Ia specialist in his particular line. DR..
Beede has been spending the summer
studying the problem of the origin of
the Oklahoma Redbeds. He began
work near the Kansas line and passed
south through Pawnee Saltwater and
Chandler The party is now in the
vicinity of Shawnee.
As the work has progressed during
the summer, DR. Beede has become
convinced that the material which now
makes up the Redbeds was originally
washed out from the Arbuckle Noun
tains. This happened during the Car
boniferous times when the mountains
stood two miles above their present
level and when all of northern Okla
homa was an open sea.
The object of the conference now be-
ing held in the mountains sto study
the rocks which now stand on edge
and to endeavor to trace if possible,
the deposits from these mountains out
into the Redbeds plain 1t is well
known that there are vast deposits of
conglomerate or pudding-stone rock in
the country lying north of the noun
tains; for instance, Bromide Cliff at
Sulphur is made up of this conglomer-
ate which is composed largely of peb-
les derived from the hard limestone
washed down from the former Ar
uuChle mountains.
The party will traverse Falls Greek,
visit Turner Falls on Honey Creek,
climb the East Timbered Hills, which
as Dr. Gould expresses it, is "the gran
lite core of the old mountain range"
will visit Rock Cut and Washita Gorge
near Crusher, will collect fossils near
White Mountain, climb the Burning
Mountain and visit the stone crushers
and asphalt mines and glass sand de-
posits in this general region. 1t is be-
lieved that the result of this conference
will be of great benefit in settling
some extremely difficult geological
problems which have been bothering
geologists for a number Of
years.

Motoring Through New
England

ltinguished 70 rthe endless number of
beautiful homes, We are soon at New
port.
This now magnificent and preten-
tious residential city was at one time
an active business center of which no
yistige remains except a guide to tell
the story. Settled in 1899 it occupies
a low peninsula in the southern part
Of Rhode Island on very fine natural
harbor. Until 1870 Newport was sur
passed only by Boston as a port, and
! its trade was very much greater than
that of New York. 1t however, never
regained its trade and prestige after
the Revolutionary war, having now
only about $4,000 inhabitants, and is
noted today for its summer colony of
ultra fashionable Americans.
Facing the square is the old city
hall or state house" built in 1888, and
also a monument erected to the mem
ory of Commodore Perry of Revolution
airy fame, Following Touro street we
come shortly to the old Stone Mill in
Touro Park claimed to have been built
by the Norsemen about the year 900
long before Columbus landed here.
A beautiful Casino or Auditorium is
conveniently located with play grounds
1t is here the international tennis
championships are decided when play
ed on this side.
The homes, or rather palaces, and
grounds are beyond the dreams of
ayarice. Even a photograph fails to
give an adequate idea of the color,
luxury and magnifcence on every
side. Private walks around precipi-
tous bluffs to the shore below are cut
in the rocks at enormous cost. and one
palace has a tunnel, electric lighted,
$50 feet long from the sea into the
rock under it, where an elevator trans
ports the passengers from the launch
to the house above. The lawns and
grounds all extensive, look like moth
ing so much as a velvet carpet, and
are better kept than any We have seen
in this country or in Europe.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 26.-William
Huntley, vice president of the Ex-
change National bank and secretary
treasurer of the Inland Brewing and
Mailing company of Spokane, who in
corporated his family as the Huntley
Investment company with capital Of
81 200, 600, giving his wife and 10 chill
dren and himself each 100000 in
stock, a year ago, now is defendant in
an action for divorce filed in the Spo-
kane county superior court The
charge is abandonment. This is the
second suit filed by Mrs Emma V.
Huntley. The first, entered more than
a year ago, alleged that the banker
was close in money matters. Soon
afterward Huntley organized the Hunt
ley Investment company and follow
ing the money settlement the case
was dropped Hunueys counsel has
filed an answer, admitting that he
abandoned his wife on April /, 1910,
denying that this action was without
cause. The suit will be tried during
the September term, Before coming
to Spokane Huntley was a bonanza
wheat rancher in the Palouse country
in eastern Washington, where he
amassed a fortune.

declared unconstitutional. These peo-
pie had no constitution in a strict
sense and yet, they were living under
and carrying into practical use the
principles laid down in the famous
compact signed on the Mayfower; and
it is remarkable too, that in this goth
century the very principles of that fam
Gus compact are the foundation of the
government of every town, state and
even the national government as ex-
emplifed by the Declaration of Inde-
pendence And the articles of confed-
Grafton formed in 1912 by the colonies
of Plymouth (Pilgrim), Boston (Puri-
tam, Connecticut, Providence and
Maine, were the very foundation of the
constitution of the United States. A
comparison shows many identical ar
ticles and chapters.
When, at the general meeting in
1885, on the election of governor, the
freemen all demanding voice, for the
first time in America the ballot was
used showing the name of the candi-
date written thereon.
We see in these planters, the fore
fathers of New England, people who
were remarkable for their piety and
moral rectitude; who endured every
privation, even starvation, for the
cause of religious freedom, they were
men of erudition of genius, of literary
attainments and as they hewed out of
the wilderness a country free born and
independent their deeds coupled with
those of the Pilgrims, will go down to
the farthest posterity as among the
greatest blessings mankind has ever
had bestowed upon it.

The appointment of Adam Thomp-
son to succeed Thos. Southard as su-
perintendent of the poultry section of
tie American Royal stock show, which
takes place at the Kansas City stock
wards the week of October to IA, has

and has many ribbons to his credit.
He is a member of the Southwest Poul-

fore, and many entries Of international
Importance are expected The poul-
try will be housed in the new building
which is now under construction, and
which when completed will permit of
better display and more comfortable
arrangement of the birds, an advant-
age both to the visitor and to the ex-
pert. The exhibitor will find it worth
while to enter birds from the stand
point of thus displaying his birds to

offered and premium ribbons which
have become of high value among the
breeders of the United States.

ANOTHER DEATH RESULTS
FROM FEUO At PORUM

Muskogee, Okla, Aug, 2S.-The
silent hand of death again swept
through the feud-ridden country sur
rounding Porum, Okla. last night
when Charles Mcclure, wealthy
|stockman, friend of the Davis boys and
one of the alleged leaders of the Davis
faction was slain from ambush
With his brother, Mcclure was rid
ling on horseback on the way home
from town and had just passed the
high school building when seven shots
were fired, four taking effect. Nc
Clure died soon after falling from his
horse and before aid arrived. His
brother escaped unhurt. Two masked
men were seen to leave the school
building Immediately after the shoot
ing.
Excitement is running high at
Forum. Mcclure recently received
letters ordering him to
leave the country upon pain or death
but he paid no attention to the warn
ings.
The dead man was close friend
and important witness for Pony Starr
in the cattle stealing cases, soon to
be tried in Muskogee courts.
