TWO IN COURT TO-DAY.
Amos Matott and John Kesson Were
the Respondents.

Amos Matott and John Kesson plead
ed guilty to holiday celebrations in city
court this forenoon before Judge H. w.
Scott. Kesson was arrested last night
by Officer Ed l.. Mcleod. Only within
few days he completed a sentence inn
posed on him in municipal court last
fall for breach of peace allegation. He
paid a fine and costs amounting to S4.l0
for subsequent otfense.
Amos Matott's appearance was the
second within the month. This morning
he finished paying the last installment
on an intoxication fine and then pleaded
guilty to subsequent offense. Judge
Scott asked for a disclosure and Grand
Juror A. G. Fay examined the respond
ent. Amos said he met fellow in
Depot square yesterday afternoon.
Amos loaned him a match and to show
his appreciation, the stranger offered his
benefactor a ride. They went to East
Barre and back, consuming consider
able whiskey up and down. Then Amos
loafed around town until Officer Mcleod
took him out of the cold at IL o'clock
The court was loath to believe Matott's
little story of the kind
stranger and the matches. So Matott
was given a straight sentence of 80
days in the county Jail at Montpelier
with fine of Sl6 and costs.

Citizens Alliance and Min
ers Are More Embit-
tered Than Ever

Green Bay, Wisconsin, Dec. 27.-Lying
in berth with his head bound with a
bloodstained bandage, Charles II. Meyer,
president of the western federation Of

claims he was forcibly placed and
guarded by two thugs until the train
reached Claiming, Michigan, at two
O'Clock this morning.

dark, dragged through the streets,
threatened with death by hanging and
finally placed on this train about nine

Calumet in a few days under govern
ment protection and resume his efforts
to end the strike which he declares the
strikers are winning.
Calumet, Mich, Dec. 27.--The striking
miners in the copper region were gener-
ally aroused to-day by the deportation
of Charles II. Meyer, president of the
Western Federation OF Miners, last
night. The feeling here between the
strikers and the citizens alliance, embit
tered by the disaster of Christmas eve,
reached point where the opinion of
some is that there is less chance than
ever of settling the strike by arbitration.
The arrival of John B. Densmore, the
federal agent, to investigate the strike,
however, is awaited with the hope that
his presence may have steadying in
fluence.
President Meyer was conducted out of
the state, it is said by members of the
alliance because he would not retract
statements regarding the alleged con-
nection of the man responsible for the
panic with the citizens alliance and be-
cause of his advice to the bereaved fam
lilies to accept no aid from the alliance.
Meyer was escorted by three men TO
the railroad station at Hancock and
placed on a train for Chicago.
Men who are prominent in the citizens
alliance disclaim any knowledge of the
deportation of Meyer, Sheriff Cruise has
started an investigation Of the kidnapping
charge made by the union.
A committee of citizens met again to-
day to endeavor to settle upon some
plan for dispensing the $4,000 relief
fund that has been raised and which
the strikers families consistently refuse
to accept.

Concerning Recent Death of
Cardinal Rampolla
in Rome
VATICAN OFFICIALS
DENY THE STORIES
One of Which Hinted That
Cardinals Death Was from
Unnatural Cause

Rome, Dec. 27- Many wild rumors are
in circulation to-day concerning the re-
cent death of Cardinal Rampolla. One
limited that his demise was brought
about by unnatural causes and there was
possibility of his body being exhumed
for a post-mortem examination. The
attendants, intimate friends and rela-
tiyes Of the late cardinal, as well as
the officials of the Vatican, all deny
these rumors.
1t was declared by the officials to-day
that there was no intention OF exhuming
the body. The rumors are supposed to
have been founded on the disappearance
of the small box supposed to contain
private papers.
