Proceeds of Church Fair at
GraniteviIIe Were Stolen
LATE ON SATURDAY NIGHT
When Closing the Church Where Fail
Was Held, FIR. Turcot Set Down the
Satchel Containing the Money Tenn
porarily to Go Into Basement.

| One Of the most daring robberies Of
recent years was perpetrated Saturday
| night at st. Sylvester's church in Gran,
iteville when Rev. Fr Turcot pastor OF
the church, was relieved of satchel
containing about $40, the proceeds from
his parishioners fair which had been
brought to close that evening. Father
Turcot and others closely associated
with the church show a tendency to
suspect certain characters who had been
seen for the past week in the vicinity
of Granteyille and Websterville. The
offender was undoubtedly bent on com
hitting the crime even if violent means
had to be resorted to in order TO gain his
booty,
The fair which was conducted during
the past week. was held in the base
ment of the edifee. The proceeds of
the evening were deposited with the pas
tor OF the church for security. When
everyone, supposedly, had left the church,
Father Turcot, as was customary with
him, went to the basement TO assure
himself that everything had been left in
order. When he went to the basement
ne left his satehel, containing the money,
on small table near the main door in
ahe vestibule The pastor had no more
than reached the basement when he
heard Footsteps overhead.
Rushing upstairs he heard the jingling
of coin and at once surmised that bur
glary had been committed. Being alone
he was unable to hinder the fight OF
the thief who had disappeared in the
darkness of the evening. FIR. Turcot
notified the authorities and yesterday
and to-day the authorities were on the
lookout At the masses Yesterday the
priest briefly told his parishioners the
story of the robbery After the o'clock
services yesterday, a number Of the ad
herents OF the church searched through
the woods in the near vicinity in hope
OF tracking the robbers. For several
hours they searched. but it was in vain.
Father Turcot said to-day that he felt
positive that the perpetrator of the rob
berry was stationed inside the church, as
lie (Fr. Tureotl distinctly heard the re-.
ceding footsteps. but did not detect the
sound of incoming steps.

day afternoon. An enthusiastic group

to meet somewhere besides in Montpel-
ier, with banquet, and the regular an
nual business meeting, with a banquet,
in Montpelier later in the year

touring Vermont, and articles in the
American Motorist' are also doing
much for the tourist business here.

GAVE UP HIS OWN lice
TRYING TO SAVE BOY
Albert c. Zeiner Victim of Electric Cur
rent In Burlington. Boy Somewhat
Burned and His Mother Was
Injured,

| Burlington, Sept. 0.-In attempting to
rescue seven years old Charles Sullivan,
who was caught by wire at the corner
| of Pearl and Champlain streets Satur-
| day afternoon, Albert G. Zeiner, sla-
ter, was electrocuted and died instantly
with 2300 volts OF electricity passing
through his body. The boy escaped
with few burns and his mother, Mrs.
John Sullivan, who tried to assist him,
was injured by being thrown some dis
tanee by the force of the shock.
The wire, which did the damage, was
a guy wire which was attached to a
pole belonging to the Burlington Light
& Power company and which was nailed
on to the house at the northwest corner
of, Pearl and North Champlain streets.
Some skaters were at work on the house
and in taking down THE staging, the
wire had become loosened and fell to
the ground. In falling it became crossed
with live wire and it was from this
that the current was derived.
During the entire forenoon the wire
hung over some lilac bushes and no
one happened to touch it. Shortly after
three o'clock, however, the Sullivan
child grasped it and could not free him
self. He was tossed about and screamed
for aid His mother, hearing his cries,
went to his assistance and was thrown
violently to the ground from the shock,
although she only tried to grasp him
and not the wire.
Zeiner was on the roof and seeing
the trouble, went to the rescue In one
hand he had pair of nippers and in
the other a metal hammer. As he tried
to cut the wire with the steel nippers
he in turn became caught and, while
thrown about by the electricity, the ham
mer touched the wire, making a com
plete circuit, and Zeiner was electrocu
ted.
The Sullivan boy and Zeiner were
later dragged away from the wire by
means of a rubber hose. The boy was
burned in few places, but not serious
ly, and was in good condition yesterday
Mrs. Sullivan was suffering from an in
jured back the result OF the fall. Zeiner
was burned only in one hand and showed
almost no visible effects OF the shock.
Mr.. Zeiner was ~ years Of age and
lived at So Peru street. He leaves
wife and one son, George, in addition to
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Caspar Zeiner,
of Shelburne Falls, Mass, three broth
ers, Charles, Edward and George, OF
Greenfield, Mass, and three sisters, Mrs.
Thomas Turner OF Shelburne Falls, Mrs,

the revolver was not loaded. Fred Thibe-
deau stood swapping the trigger and his
cousin, William Thibedeau, aged 10

it was discharged. the bullet striking
William in the right lung. The boy ran
home, notifying his parents that ne was
shot.
Drs Cushman and Bowling probed for
the bullet and found it fattened against

the bullet, %, was all that saved his
lung from being penetrated. The boys,
Fred aged IA. Edward, aged Ia, William,
aged 10, and Dona Prudhomme. aged l2,
secured an old revolver, chipped in in
purchasing a box of cartridges, and went
