The action of Mayor Hoff
in discharging Officers Hughes
and French came as a surprise
to many of the citizens of
Montpelier, and not "a few
would like to have the mayor
make public his reasons for
making the change. Have
these officers done something
they should not have done or
have they failed or refused to
obey any orders given to them
by the mayor? That is what
good many people would like
to know and they are entitled
Ia know it. So far as the
Examiner has been able to
learn, Officers Hughes and
French have endeavored to
discharge their duties faith
fully and conscientiously, and
we have heard it said fire.
qnently that they were max
ing the best officers that Mont
pelier has had for several
years. Wherein they have
failed to meet the require
ments of the mayor, we know
not, nor does anybody else. so
far as We can learn. Granting
that they have not attained
all of the results the Mayor
wished for. what assurance
has he that the two men now
on duty will be able to give
any better service? We have
nothing against either Mr..
Robson or Mr.. Lindsay-both
are honest and upright men
and will no doubt put forth
their best efforts to see that
the laws and ordinances are
enforced. But are they cap
able of doing more than did
the men who were summarily
discharged by the mayor We'd
nesday night, and why were
these men discharged?
If the mayor has any good
reasons for removing them he
certainly should not hesitate
to make them known, and we
believe that the council should
insist next Wednesday night
upon the mayor stating his
reasons for discharging them
before vote is taken upon the
confirmation of Officers Rob-
son and Lindsay.

Leader of Phantom Bandits Makes

PARIS. April 29.-With the
Staying of Jules Bonnott, the "de-
mon chauffeur" of the phantom
death car" and Dubois, the world
famous anarchist. by police and
detectives here, the reign of ter
ror of the notorious automobile
bandits in and about Paris is
ended.
The outlaws, whose daring
crimes extended over six months,
were run to earth in a small gar
age at Choisy lie Roi, on the out
skirts of Paris. where they were
killed after their lair had been
wrecked by dynamite.
Hundreds of policemen and
armed citizens surrounded the
building, being repeatedly driven
back by a fusilade from a small
window, while 10000 persons
watched from outside the danger
zone. Finally a cart was rugged
up with protecting mattresses and
venturesome officer applied two
charges of dynamite to one corner
of the garage. When the build
ing was shattered in clouds of
smoke the police rushed in over
the wreckage. AS they entered a
man arose from the ruins of an
automobile tonneau and fired. 1t
was Dubois, and he was riddled
with bullets before any of his
shots could take effect. Two mat
resses moved slightly and Bonnort
raised his gun to fire. He was
shot down before he could pull
the trigger and taken out alive
and cursing.
The thousands of spectators
rushed the police with cries of
death to Bonnott," and attempt
ed to tear the bandit to pieces.
He was struck several times be-
fore the police could rescue him.
Bonnott died on the way to the
hospital.

Girls Tramp Across Continentfor Adventure

At first glance the two girls
were as alike as two peas. They
had the same dusty khaki suits,
brown sweaters, worn shoes and
SLOUGH hats.
The faces under the old hats,
however, were different. One girl
had dark. Hebraic features; the
other was Irish. The dark hair of
one and the tawny hair of the
other rested across pink cheeks,
suggesting hfe In the open.
Their names were Daisy Myers
and Mollie Dougan, who recently
completed a walking tour from
New York to San Francisco, which
took them eight months to day.
They left New York with $3.50
and an unbounded zest for advent
ure, and worked their way across
the country, doing illustrating
and writing for newspapers and
occasionally waiting on tables at
hotels.
They reached San Francisco
after as stirring a series of adven-
lures as two girls ever encoun-
tered.
Physically, the trip benefited
them, but they said they would
not do 1t again without money.
ut was q terrible strain to
have to look out for the next meal
all the time" said Mollie Dougan.

good the miners and the railroad
