Former Bennington Baseball Player
Signed by Chicago Cubs.

Jack" Inglis, the Troy athlete
who was a member of the Benning-
ton baseball team four years ago, is
reported to have signed with the
Chicago Cubs. Inglis, who has been
star player with the Troy basket
ball team for two seasons, has been
catching for the Newburgh club Of
the New York-New Jersey league.
He is reported to be the best back
stop in the circuit and his work be-
hind the bat has attracted the at
tention of several big league scouts.
Inglis is stocky but speedy ath-
lete. While in Bennington he play
ed in right field and had a good
seasons record. He did not have a
good average as batter and for
this reason was not given an OPP
portunity to become a member Of
the team for a second season. AS
he has been hitting for better than
300 during the present season he
has evidently overcome the one
drawback. that stood in the way of
a contract with the "big show" Sew

GIRL BANDIT SENT
TO WINDSOR FOR
TWO YEARS
Lavinia Lamphire Once Actor
in Sensational Tragedy
IN RUPERT EIGHT YEARS AGO
Was One of Gang involved in the
Killing of A. n. Ross in July
1905

The sentencing, in the Rutland
city court, Tuesday of Lavinia Yves
colt to the state prison at Windsor
for two years following conviction
on the charge of adultery, recalls
the fact that the woman, at the time
but Is years of age, was one OF the
principal actors in one of the most
spectacular crimes ever committed in
Bennington county. the shooting OF
A. H. Ross in West Rupert on the
night of July %, 1905.
Ross was one OF party of ban
dts who in the summer of that year
had camp on the mountain in Ru-
per from which they went forth at
night and .-rlged upon the farmers
living in the vicinity. Mrs. Wescott,
or Lavinia I.anphlre. was member
of the gang and the sensation re-
sulting from the killing of Ross
gave her the sobriquet of the girl
bandit"
Ross was sho+ and instantly killed
when the camp of he bandits was
raided by a party of Bennington
county deputy sheriffs and a posse
made up of the farmers who had be-
come incensed over the depredations
of the gang.
The deputies were Harvey Lincoln
and A. G. Mason of Rupert. When
the officers approached the camp the
bandits, three men and the girl,
made a run for the woods. The
bandits opened fire upon the officers
with their reyolvers and the fire was
returned. Ross, who did not travel so
rapidly as his companions, was mis-
taken for an offices and shot through
the heart by one OF the fleeing men.
The two men in the party later
turned out TO be Merritt Reed and
David Brockway. Brockway was
captured but Reed who fired the bull
let that killed Ross, made good his
escape.
The hampshire girl was brought
to the county Jail in this village and
later appeared as a witness in the
case against Brockway but as there
was no evidence to hold her for any
offence she was released.

London, July 9.-Out of the welter
of conflicting stories from the Bal
kan battlefields, it is almost impos-
sible to sift the truth. This was
markedly illustrated tonight, de-
spatch from the Daily Telegraph
correspondent at Uskup, dated Tues
day night, reporting that there had
hardly been any fighting in the last
few days, while Belgrade dispatches
reported further Servian victories,
the latest advices from the Servian
garians who had invaded Servia had
been driven back across the front
ier
There seems to be little doubt
that General Ivanoff's army is stead
lily retiring before the victorious
Greeks and it is reported that the
Bulgarians have evacuated both Ka-
vala, where the Greek feet is oper-
ating and Dedeagatch.
Whether there is any truth in the
Vienna reports to the effect that Bull
garia has applied to the powers to
arrange peace is not known, but it
would appear not unlikely, since
clearly things are not going well
with the Bulgarians and the out
break of cholera at many points in
the field of operations combined
with the exhaustion of the armies
by the fierceness of the struggle, is
calculated to render some such So
luton welcome to the combatants.
This is especially so because of the
uncertainty of the policy OF Rou-
mania, which is now reported to be
equally ready to attack either Ser
via or Bulgaria as the occasion may
demand, in order to prevent a dis
turbance of the Balkan equilibrium.

Bridal calls must be regarded as first

marriage was included in the calls paid
to her mother. but after marriage the
call is made to her husband and her

wedding requires that a call should be
subsequently made upon the young
couple. and thus one Is actually made.

Washington, July 10.-Interstate
Commerce Commissioner McChord
today made a preliminary report OF
the findings relative to the recent
railroad accident at Stamford on the
New Haven system.
The report puts the blame for the
tragedy on Engineer Dougherty but
condemns the system of running
which allowed a green engineer to
have charge of an important fast
train.
AT the hearing the railroad claim
ed that the assignment of engineers
was controlled by the labor unions
so that it was often compelled to
employ inefficient engineers.

thus far to secure from the Senate the
extra clerk he declares necessary to

Democratic colleagues Tuesday when
he engineered his single-handed fill

all we hear is the hoarse voice of the

Other Senators had comments to

CROP PROSPECTS
GOOD IN delta
soLoNS FROM THAT SECTION
REPORT CONDITION OF COT.
TON SATISFACTORY.

Jackson, Miss, June 10.-Members
of the legislature who are in the city
attending the special session bring
conflicting reports relative to cotton
crop prospects in their respective To-
calities. The consensus of opinion
seems to be, however, that the out
look is decidedly more encouraging
than at this time last year, wet June
having caused rapid propagation of
boil weevils, and the size of the crop
almost wholly depends upon the raw
ages of this insect pest.
Members from the delta say that
the wevil has not yet put in its ap-
pearance in that section, and that cot
ton stands are uniformly good, the
crop has been well cultivated, and
there has been a sufficient rainfall. In
Washington county, which in former
years produced the largest crop of
any delta county, conditions are al
most ideal. Similar conditions prevail
in those sections of Bolivar not
touched by the overflow. In the over
flowed area the stands are good, but
the crop is late.
Legislators from South Mississippi
report that first blooms put in their
appearance few days since. 1t is in
this section where the boil weeviPs
ravages will be the heaviest, and al
ready the pest has inflicted much dam
age. In Pike county, for instance,
the acreage is nearly three times
larger than that of last year, and
farmers are finding weevils by the
hatful in their fields. While the pests
have arrived bit late, they have just
commenced to get in their deadly
work.
One singular feature about the wee
vii crop is that in communities where
its ravages were the worst last year
very few have been found this season
Until few days ago weather con
ditions had been ideal, but the droI
in temperature has checked the growth
of the plant, and may cause consid
cradle injury unless there is rise IL
temperature within the next two OIL
three days.
