WILL ORDER LOTS
OF Cement WALKS

The council has held two meet
ings during the past week, at both
of which the time was devoted to
the construction of cement side
walks, and the streets upon which
the walks are to be ordered laid. -
\ While no definite conclusion has
been reached, 1t is likely that at the
next regular meeting the council
will determine to adopt the district
plan, which provides for the issu-
ance of five year bonds against the
property along which walks will be
ordered lard. This means that the
property owners can pay for their
walks IN five yearly installments,
the deferred payments to draw pei
cent interest.
The conncil has divided the towI
into four districts, as follows:

Miss Myrtle was member of the
Eight grade class in the Montpelier

death brought deep sorrow to the
hearts of all her class and school
mates Wednesday morning when
Superintendent Stevenson told of her
death in the school room, and paid a
tribute to her many good qualities,
the esteem in which was held in
school was plainly manifested by the
bowed heads and tear-dimmed eyes.

west of sth street.
The council will designate the
streets in the several districts on
which walks will be ordered laid.
1t is roughly estimated that it
will require about $35, 600 to pay
for the walks to be constructed in
all of the districts. This, divided
into 5 yearly payments, means
1000 year. These payments, OF
course, are to be made only by the
persons along whose property the
walks are built.
To connect all these walks with
cross walks will require about
$4,000 1t is proposed to raise
this amount by issuing bonds.
However, it will be up to the tax

The first hold.up that ever occur
red in Montpelier, took place about
1880 last Tuesday night, when two
strangers, Spaniard and Mexican,
stopped William McLennan on Main
street, opposite the First National
bank, and under the glare Of the
arc light at that point, relieved him
of his watch and chain.
McLennan was walking along
leisurely, going west, when the two
fellows accosted him at the point
above stated and, with drawn revol
vers, ordered him to throw up his
hands. Will promptly complied
with the order, when one of the
men relieved him of his watch and
chain, and felt in one OF his pockets
for money, but finding none, they
started east on Main street.
The performance was witnessed
by Mrs. Driver and Mrs. Steve
Staley, who we're nearly opposite
the trio on Main street. The ladies
noticed the rather queer actions of
the men, but were not positive that
it was hold up at first. By the
time they fully realized what was
going on, the men had started up
the street. Mrs. Driver stepped
into Winn Staley's pool room and
gave the alarm. At the same time
McLennan began yelling for help
This brought number of people
onto the street, just in time to SEE
the two men start on run south
down the vacant space just east OF
the Vincent Furniture Co.'S store.
AS they left the sidewalk one of th'
men shot his revolver in the air.
AS soon as it was learned that
hold-up had taken place, a dozel
or more men quickly procured gun

POLITICIANS WILL
GATHER AT LEWISTON

Although the action to be taken
by the Lewiston state convention
May l6 will have no direct bearing
upon the Republican gubernatorial
situation in this state, the gather
ing of the clans at Lewiston will, it
is believed by party leaders here,
afford many of the delegates and
those high in the councils of the
Republican party an opportunity to
review the political situation in the
state, especially the gubernatorial,
and to discuss candidates. 1t is very
probable they will take advantage
of the opportunity and the atmo-
sphere at Lewiston will, during con-
ventlon week, be charged with poll
tics.
The claim has been made that
states have been formed and smahsed
at Lewiston before. 1t is certain
that while states may not be made
during the holding of the state con-
vention, the strong candidates, ol
those considered strong, for both
governor and other state offices will
have the attention of delegates TO
cused upon them. Many of th'
candidates will arrange to be on th'
sSene themselves, and after the con
, vention they will tour the northern
Z part of the state to fix their politi
cial fences. The hot bed of polite
