Charles Chihs of Worcester mountain,
who came to Barre a week ago and
who was arrested twice in that week,
was in city court Saturday afternoon

He was fined SIS, with costs of $40,

said he shared quart of whiskey with

The members of the two hose run
ming teams from Barre, who participat
ed in the contests at the state fair last
week, the Granite City team winning
third position and the Barre City team
also beating the time of the other Yer
mont teams, feel well satisfied with their
treatment at the fair and during the
contest. Moreover, they are confident
that with the development which they
expect to make with hard practice an
other year they will be able to beat out
all entrants for the prizes. 1t will be
that three of the four prize
winners were teams outside of the state.
The time which the two Barre teams
made was very good and but little short
of the time made by the first prize win
ner. Altogether, the Barre men brought
back $40 in money. In the ladder
contest, which consisted of a
50-foot run and 30foot climb, there were
four men tied for first money. and two
of the four were from Barre. They were
Ralph Tobin and w. A. Nelson, whose
time was seven and one-ffth seconds.
In addition to these honors, the Gran
lite City hose team gets the right to
have its name inscribed on the state
trumphet, which is now

will be on exhibition in Barre before
long.
