BARRE HUNTERS NEAR WRECKED.
John F. Cook, Frank w. Robinson and
Bert w. Goodfellow Had Hard Tussle.

John II. Cook Of the firm of Cook,
Watkins 4 CO., Frank w. Robinson, the
fish man at the Ladd Co.'S store, and
Bert W. Goodfellow returned yesterday
from duck hunting expedition to High
gate Springs. The party bagged 10
birds the first morning out, but their
hunting ceased around noon, when the
heaviest wind that has swept the lake
in years turned the trio to seafaring
men. In little two-ton dory near
Providence Point, above the mouth OF
the Missisquoi river. the hunters had
the struggle of their lives with the huge
waves. Several times it looked as
though the little craft would be
swamped. but she rode the water well
and by dint of the hardest managing
the party was able to put in on little
island.
After several hours of cold weather
on the island, the party managed to
reach mainland, Mr.. Robinson and Mr..
Goodfellow walking to Swanton, while
Mr.. Cook remained over night in hunt
er's camp. All were thoroughly drenched
and chilled by their long exposure. Old
fishermen around Missisquoi Bay said
the boat could not have weathered the
storm another 20 minutes.
The birds secured by the party were
beauties. Mr.. Cook awoke the admira-
ton of every hunter on the bay by
bringing down red-headed duck. which
was afterwards exhibited on the main
land. A red-headed bird has not been
seen in Highgate for several years and
natives consider the species rare.

HUERTA MAY LOSE SUPPORT.
His Position Is Regarded as Becoming
More Precarious

London, Nov. 12.-Miguel Cevarrubial,
the former Mexican minister to Russia,
is quoted by the Daily Chronicle as being
of the opinion that General Huerta will
soon be forced to understand that he
lacks the support of civilized countries
and this together with the growing
strength of the constitutionalists, will
impel him to seek a way out of the diff
Guilty for himself. At present, says
Senior Covarrubias, while General Huerta
believes he possesses real power he re-
CARDS leaving his post as an act of de-
sertion.
The ex-minister considers that Venu-
stiano Carranza would make good pres
ident, but that Iglesias Caldron would
be altogether the best man for the po-
sition.
Questioned concerning President Will
sons policy, Senior Covarrubias said he
believed that the president was guided
by very statesmanlike motives and that
his policy was practical rather than
idealistic

another million dollars day and may
ALLEVIATE forever the confidence of the 20
Latin-American republics and their TO-
100000 of fellow Americans.

store in West Rutland and a special

railroad will carry goods from the whole
sale houses in Rutland to Proctor.
Although the entire fire fighting ap-
paratus, together with hundreds of EN-.
ployes from the mills, worked hard,
there was never chance of saving the
property, which was more or less of
tinder box. The reflection from the fire
could be seen for miles around and
number of parties went from Pittsford
Rutland, and Brandon.
The fire was first discovered by w. r.
Randall, whe is the watehman in charge
of the several buildings used by the

building. He sent word to the Y. NJ.

Consulting with Constitutionalists.
Washington, D. G., Nov. l2.-The con-
ferenees now being held between William
Bayard Hale and General Venustiano
Carranza at Nogales are interpreted in
official circles here as the first open move
by the United States to show an inter
est in the constitutionalist movement in
Mexico. No official commented to-day
on Hale's exact status, but on a previous
occasion, when he spent three months
in Mexico City, gathering information,
President Wilson let it be known that
Hale was his personal friend.
Little doubt exists in diplomatic cir
cles that while Hale still retains his
character of unofficial envoy, he is fur
nishing the Washington government
with information for official purposes.
Observers point out that his conferences
are not necessarily forerunner of recog-
milton.
