Arrest for Selling
Aiquor without
License

A very interesting and amusing case
was tried in oar Municipal Court last
Wednesday,. IL appears that one Col,
Howard has been running a saloon
known as the $ Iron County Bar" since
Jgne 1911. Mr. Howard having tired of
the saloon business concluded TO sell
QUE. After the bargain was made and
Mr. howard had his u'oney in his pock
ct our Chief of police awoke to the fact
of the crime that had been committed
against the Baker Law. and very
i&hteously made complaint to the Mu-
niclpal Court of its violation.
An invitation was extended to Col.
Howard to appear before the Munici.
pal Court Of Iron County which he did
and in order not to make any necessary
trouble he courteously entered plea
of ''Nolle Contendere", which means
I viii not contest it. a"
Nr. Lennon our district attorney ap-
peared for the state, and being rather
a matter of fact gentleman in reading
over the law argued that the words
prior to" as mentioned in the law
meant just what they say namely "pri.
or to, while the court held that the
words prior to" meant, not prior to
the 1st day of July 1906. being support.
ed in his decision by the opinion of the
Attorney General. However after con-
siderable wrangliug and transforming
Col. Howard was found guilty and SEN
tence was suspended for term of 30
days. Col Howard certainly should be
thankful for having disposed of his
business before this trouble came up.
In harmony with the decision of the
Municipal court the Iron County Bar
saloon is closed up. At this time the
LA Nostra Terra" is not prepared to
go into the question Of the law under
which it is compelled for the present
to close its doors. But in spirit of
all fairness it would suggest that the
town board, sheriff and police officers
discharge their duties fairly and impair
italy, to all giving to each and every
citizen equal rights and privileges. If
the chief of Police fslr il his duty to
close one saloon. why il is not his duty
to make complaints against others who
are and were operating under the same
conditions?
Why should one mans property re-
tain privileges gained illegally and the
privileges of another property gained
in the same manner taken away?
We believe in a square deal to all,
Notwithstanding nationality or religious
beliefs and shall insist that all who are
equally guilty shall be punished equally
Heretofore the La Nostra Terra has
refraned from commenting on the
charge Of unfairness brought against
Dardas by one Of the members Of the
town board but unless he shall treat
each and every criminal alike, we will
commence to think that there is proba-
bly, some truth in the charge. Remem-
Der we are not fault finding on account
of the closing up of the Iron County
Bar saloon if this saloon was not enti-
tied to saloon license. Mr.. Dardas did
nothing but his duty in closing it up.
and should be commended for it. bur
we want all who nave violated the law
and are now violating it accorded the
same treatment.

PLAYERS IN TOWN
READY FOR FIRST
BASEBALL GAME
Season Will Open at Morgan
Park on Saturday
NEW MEN ARRIVE FIRST
Connolly, Ntzhugh, and Edagr Candi-
dates for Two Vacant lnfield
Positions.

The players, who are to compose
the Bennington baseball team in the
Northern Tri.State league began to
arrive in town Monday evening to
get in shape for the season which
will open with Hoosick Falls at Nor
gan park next Saturday afternoon.
The men will begin to work out at
the park tomorrow Practice has
been delayed for day by the non
arrival of the field captain, Dave"
Shea, who has been detained by his
business as a piano tuner in Massa-
chusetts.
Only me of the players who was
with the champion team of the Berk-
shire league last season has as yet
put in an appearance, although five
of them are slated for births with
the local club. Joe" Peloquin OF
Williamantic, Conn, who lead the 10
cal team in batting last year, is on
hand and says that he is in good con-
dition. He has lost some weight
during the winter and looks more fit
than when he left Bennington last
fall.
Three players who will try out for
the positions of shortstop and third
base are on the ground. They are
Thomas Connolly of Boston who
played last season with the st. Johns
club of the Maine-New Brunswick
league. He has been working out
with the Worcester team of the New
England league and should be in
shape to start the season at good
clip.
John McHugh of Fitchburg, who
was with Pittsfield for a portion of
the season last year, is another can
didate for an infield position. He
has been playing with the local
teams in the three-club league com
posed of Fitchburg, Clinton and Leo.
minister.
Robert Edgar of Manchester, CT, is
another candidate for the hot corner,
Two seasons ago he was with the
Brattleboro team of the Twin State
league under Breckenridge. Last
year "Breck" managed the team in
Manchester and Edgar played in his
home town. He has been coaching
the Amherst agricultural college
team during the present season.
1t is probable that Mcdonald, the
auburn matched fielder and change
catcher for Pittsfield year ago,
will be taken on for the middle gar
den. Mcdonald is not only a good
fielder. but he can be used behind
the bat in case OF accident to the
regular backstop Captain Shea.
Jack" Carolan. William Connors
and Cable Prindle will be with the
team when the umpire calls play
ball" next Saturday. They have all
been with Bennington for two or
more seasons and If they live up to
their records in the past, as there is
every reason to believe they will,
the fans will be satisfied.

Late last night the Vesuvius worked

sent out by wireless. Smith then OIL.
