Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

the Middlebury boys of the Y. M. c.
A. started on Friday of last week for
three days camp at Lake Dunmore.
The camp was laid on the grounds of
the Boys Camp. Around open fires
wrapped in blankets, the boys passed
the nights in true frontier style. Fish
ing, hunting, swimming etc, were
enjoyed. Douglass Esten's "phenom-
email catch" was a matter of no little
amusement at one of the fishing trips.
Duckings were numerous and frequent
ly impromptu. Among other things
the boys discovered brand new way of
cooking beans. The return trip was
made on Sunday by tried but mighty
happy bunch of boys,

the association of the Baptist churches
of Addison County on the "Social Serv-
ice and its Relation to the County

Many young people have interested
themselves in the agricultural contest.
Competition is keen among them, and
the additional prize offerings which
have come in within the last two weeks
will make their efforts well worth while.
The County Secretary purchased an
indoor base ball An attempt will be
made to organize indoor base ball teams
at the college to increase interest in the
game.
Mr.. Morhous will speak at the Corn
wall Grange on Thursday evening on
matters of agricultural import.
A communication from Byron N.
Clark that Rev. DR.. Leach of Brandon
has been appointed as a scout master.
Mr.. Leach and other ministers will work
with Mr.. Morhous in the interest of
Brandon boys.
Among the prizes offered in the agri-
cultural contest is a two weeks trip to
Lake Champlain.
The county secretary of the Y M. C.
A. recently told some of the local bust
ness men that he must have a type
writer, Monograph and an efficient
vehicle with which to cover his country
trips, before he could do his best work.
The typewriter and mimeograph have
been donated. Now it is up to the
people of Addison county who have
boys of their own or boys in whom they
may be interested to complete the work
by purchasing bicycle or some other
such vehicle to aid the secretary in the
performance of his duties. Does il
seem right that man in his position
should walk to Cornwall, East Middle
bury, Shoreham, North Ferrisburg
ETC., to deliver his speeches or meet his
boys? 1t has recently come to notice
that the Secretary pumped a hand-car
to Whiting and back on one of the cold
est nights this winter to keep an APP
Monument with his boys.

ADDISON COUNTY COURT.
Continued from page ~

ing sat on the special grand jury last
December, or within two years, so
under the the statute Mr.. Ward could
not serve.
The case assigned for trial was not
ready Wednesday morning, as the de-
PENDANT had not reached town and
julius A. Wilcox of Ludlow, counsel for
Plaintiff Foote, moved for judgment for
the plaintiff by default. S. E. Emery
of Proc torsville, counsel for Defendant
Moore, opposed the motion. He said
that Mr.. Moore was in New Hampshire
and that neither he nor the counsel on
either side had expected that the case
could be called up at this time. The
matter was not decided and as there
was no case ready for trial, after half
an hours session a recess was taken
until afternoon.
When court came in after dinner the
Foote VS. Moore case was found to be in
the same situation and Mr.. Wilcox re-
newed his motion for judgment, while
Mr.. Emery asked for a continuance.
Neither question was settled and the
case again went over.
The case of Eaton VS. Diamond, on
the jury calendar, was docketed,
settled and discontinued The case of
Steinbach VS. Holer was transferred by
agreement from the jury to the court
calendar, as was also that of Needham
VS. Lafayette, and that of Begor VS.
Tulley was entered continued. This
worked off three more of the cases set
jury trial. leaving only six.
Owing to the situation in reference
to the cases ahead of it, the case of
Frank E. Foote vs. Clayton Lathrop,
appellant, was assigned for trial Thurs
day morning, and at 2:45 o'clock bust
ness was wound up for the day.
But little was done in court on Thurs
day. An hour and a quarter was spent
in the forenoon in trying to get some
thing started, but without avail, as
neither the case assigned nor any other
was ready to be brought on. In the
case of Frank E. Foote VS. Clayton
Lathrop, appellant, on account of his
continued absence, the plaintiff was
nonsuited, at the request of his attor-
ney, Allen R. Sturtevant of Middlebury.
The situation remained the same in
the afternoon and at 2:10 O'Clock the
jurors were excused until two O'Clock
next Monday afternoon, and shortly
after the court took a recess to that
time, after having first assigned as the
case to come on that of Norman S.
Foote VS. Bartholomew Mylott and wife,
appellants.
