Death of Judge cephas Williams.

Judge Cephas Williams, 49, we'll
known throughout this section on ac-
count of his prominence In town affairs,
county politics and long period of SER
vice as trial justice of the peace, died
Friday morning, Oct. II, at his home
about two miles above this village on
the Manchester road. Mr.. Williams's
health had been falling two or three
years and for some time he had been
unable to get about very much. y
Mr.. Williams was born in Winhall
Jan. l. 1899, where he has always lived
He was the son of Walter and Susan
(RusselD Williams and was the last
survivor of three brothers, who for
many years guided the affairs of their
native town to a large extent. One
brother, Chester B. Williams, who died
Jan. 20, 1910, was the oldest postmaster
in the Union in point of service and
was for about half a century town clerk
and treasurer, in which capacity he as
sisted many poor people in transacting
brother, Charles r. Williams, who died
several years ago. was also prominent
In the affairs of the town.
Judge Williams received a good eju-
cation for his times and with his ten
dency to read he easily became one of
the best informed men of the town on
current affairs and to some extent along
legal lines. While a very young man, he
was elected town agent and Justice of
the peace, which positions he held con-
tinuously until his death. In the former
capacity he had charge of the legal
controversies of the town and he took
great pride in his long period of service.
In the latter he was the principal trial
justice for many years in his town. He
served several terms as selectman,
school director, and represented Winhall
n hn
sembly about 20 years ago. He was as
sistant judge of Bennington county
court from 1900 to 1904
In addition to holding nearly every
official position within the gift of his
townsmen. Judge Williams was the
guiding spirit in town meetings nearly
half a century upon points of statute
or parliamentary law. His advice was
frequently sought by his neighbors
when in trouble. He was frequent
delegate to Republican county and state
conventions.
The death of Judge Williams removes
one of the landmarks of this section

BRYAN -BRAzOS BOTTOM
|NTERURBAN RAIL WAY
Mr.. Hewit Recounts the Various Steps
in its Accomplishment and of the
Cooperative Arrangements
With the Sunset Central

One of the most important develop
ments to the future OF Bryan is the
final consummation of the contract
with the Sunset-Central lines for
trackage rights over its new steel
bridge across Brazos river at Stone
City, and the cooperative arrange
ment between the city of Bryan and
the Sunset-Central lines for the build
ing of the Bryan and Brazos Valley
railroad out of Bryan to Stone City
and down the west side of the river
to serve those great plantations in the
famous BraZos bottom. 1t not only
insures forever to Bryan that magnifi-
cent trade territory, but the co-opera-
tive arrangement opens up to Bryan
that vast territory to the west which
has been so much desired as an in
dustrial and commercial developing
factor. For instance, a Bryan citizen
wants 10 go to Austin or San Antonio.
Caldwell or Gididngs, this arrange
ment gives direct line west to those
cities. Likewise, oTr merchants will
have a direct shipping line to all the
west territory. not only enlarging the
wholesale trade territory but encour-
aging manufacturers. The first thing
that factory promoter inquiries about
is how about shipping facilities. 1t is
not enough that the lines run north
and south; the promoter wants east
and west facilities as well.
With the construction of this line in
cooperation with the Sunset-Central
lines Bryan gets the full advantage of
tho Giddings cutoff of that line, with
a single line rate privilege, feature
wh"h Is worth much to our shippers.
The accomplishment of this work is
OF so much importance to our readers
that we desired to give them graphic
account of how it had been brought

Found Guilty on All Counts.

The verdict was that all the defend
ants were in completely in the Nc
Namara dynamite plots. Frank NJ.
Ryan, president of the International
Association of Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers, is among those con-
victed. He was charged with using
the unions funds to destroy the prop
erty of non-union contractors.
All thirty-eight defendants were
found guilty on all counts. Sentences
will be imposed Monday. The defend
ants were taken 20 the Marion county
jail. The verdict sustains the charge
that the Mcnamara brothers were
aided in the nationwide dynamite
plots by almost all the executive Off
cials OF the iron workers union.
At the head of those found guilty
is Herbert s. Hooking, who is alleged
to have first initiated Ortie McMan-
igal as hired dynamiter and then
betrayed all to promote his own ambi-
ton. John T. Butler, vice president
of the iron workers union, had been
branded by the court as perjurer
after he denied the McNamaras draw
ing money to pay for dynamitings.
The scene was almost tragic in the
courtroom as the verdicts were an
nounced. The wives of score OF the
defendants leaned over the rail calling
for their husbands Mrs. Frank ]. Hig-
gins of Boston collapsed. Mrs. John
H. Barrer threw her arms about her
husband and said, BE of good cheer,

Ty Cobb's Speed Gets
Him in Picture Twice

DETROIT. April 25.--Getting into
the same photograph of the Tigers
in two different places without blur
ring or spelling the picture is the
remarkable feat Ty Cobb's lightning
thinking and speed have enabled him
to accomplish. 1t is not a fake pic
ture, either. 1t was the sort of a
stunt that makes Ty the greatest of
all ball players.
The Tigers were lined up in the
new ball yard Sunday for a group
photograph. Standing side by side
they made a line too long for an
ordinary camera to negotiate, so II
panorama camera was used. Cobb
was fourth from the left end of the
line. The camera exposes only n
small portion Of the film at a time,
the lens travelling in an arc from
one end of the lire to the other.
When Cobb noted the rate at which
it was going the idea popped into his
head that he could beat It, So the
instant the lens passed him he
dashed out around to the rear of the
machine and dug for. the other end
of the line like he goes when steal
ing home. He arrived in time to take
uH a position at the side of Manager
Jennings. and In the photo appears
there smiling and as composed in the
fourth place from the right.

Gotch and Zbyszko
To Meet Next Fall

Don't be surprised II Frank Gotch and
Stanislaus Zbyszko meet next fall, or
perhaps this summer, in a wrestling
match for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world
The public is being primed, just as it
was year ago. when Gotch met Hack
enschmidt. The frost apparently did
not teach the promoters a lesson. and
judging from the preliminaries they are
playing the same game again, with
the Pole in the role of Hack.
Gotch has retired-perhaps. II doesn't
require much imagination to see Gotch
back in another of these farewell ex-
hibitions originated by A. Patti a few
decades ago.
At present Zbyszko is meeting all
corners and throwing one or two aspir-
ing heavyweights every night or so
within the time limit. Sometimes no
doesn't succeed, but the public hears
little Of this. These bouts are to keep
Biscuits in condition and help him
acquire a better knowledge of the catch
as-catch-can game. against the time
Gotch allows as how he is willing to
wrestle again.
