KIRK JENNISON, 55, HAS
FIRST RAILROAD RIDE
West Townshend Man Also Made
First Visit to Brattleboro-Came
to Hear Deposition in Law
suit Against Him.

An argument which took on the ma
ture of rather strenuous discussion
some months ago was the basis for
the first railroad ride and the first
visit to Brattleboro that Kirk f.
.Jennison. So, a longtime resident of
West Townshend, ever made. Yester-
day was the momentous day, but there
was nothing in the actions or appear
ance of Mr. Jenison which would have
led one to suspect that he had just
experienced for the first time the
JOYS (?) of a ride on the West River
railroad, or on any other.
The argument referred to grew into
a legal dispute between George Law
renee and Mr.. Jennison, the latter be-
ing the defendant. 1t was desired to
take the deposition of Frank Rand
and this was done yesterday before
Justice T. ID. +. Stowe. As Mr.. Jen-
nison desired to be present at that
occasion it was essential that he com
bine the experience of a railroad
journey with business. II. G. Barber
appeared for the plaintiff and A. Y
d. Piper and r. c. Bacon for the
defendant
Mr.. Bacon and Mr.. Jennison haC
| luncheon together after the court ses
sion and Mr.. Bacon found it hard t.
! believe that his companion had jus
| enjoyed his first railroad ride and was
| making his first visit to Brattleboro.

DeMARCo IN COURT.
Came Down From Newfane Today to
Plead.

Frank DeMarco, who went to New
fame Jail Saturday night in default of
$1,000 bail under which he had been
held for keeping Intoxicating liquors
with intent to sell, was brought down
this afternoon after his request to have
an information filed against him that
he might be sentenced at once.
When he got here he found that
sundry civil suits had been brought
against him and that Deputy Sheriff G.
I. Knapp was prepared with the papers.
The store had been attached. After
some argument over one of the bills it
was found by means of the telephone
that some bottles had been removed
from the store and that credit of 81 was
due.
Before he could settle the bill, or any
of them, the respondent, DeMarco, de
manded to see his store to ''see how
much you have taken out. - The sheriff
finally announced that he was going to
dinner, declining to 60 to the store un
til the bill had been paid. DeMarce
claimed to be willing to settle after he
had satisfied himself what was left hin
of his stock.

Report of Capture of Janina and Sur
render of $4,000 Turks is Con-
firmed from Athens.

ATHENS, GREECE, March THE
Turkish Fortress of Janina, the key to
the possession of the province of Epi-
rus, with its garrison of 81, 900 men,
surrendered to the Greek army yester-
day after a defense which forms one of
the brilliant episodes of the Balkan
war. The surrender was preceded by a
fierce bombardment lasting without
cessation two days and two nights.
Every available gun, including a mum
ber of heavy howItzers lent by the Ser
vian artillery, was brought to bear by
the Greeks upon the forts defending
the beleagued city. No fewer than
10000 shells were filed from the Greek
guns during the first day 5 cannonade.
Gradually the Turkish batteries at
Bizani, Manolira, Sakni and elsewhere
were silenced under tAe sustained rain
of projectiles.
! The Greek commanders by a feint led
the Turks to believe that their attack
would be made from the right and as
soon as the attention of the defenders
had been distracted the Greeks hurled
large bodies of infantry on to the
Turkish left The Ottoman troops, ut
terly surprised, fell back in disorder
The batteries on the heights of Bizani
which had been the mainstav of the
defense, were unable to stand the storm
of shells and had been put out of ac'
tion by IL clock Wednesday morning
The Greeks pushed their forward
movement during the afternoon and oc
cupied the Turkish batteries on the
Sakni and Elias hills, capturing all the
guns and 10 artillerymen. Then th'
Greek battaions gradually deployed NJ
the plain in front of the city itself anC
the Turkish flight became general
Whole detachments sueeumbed to tn,

city with the Greek troops in hot pur
suit almost to the walls With all th'

Turkish commander, at clock yestei

of Mexico Was Feared by Huerta s
Administration

MEXICO CITY, March Another
prominent supporter of the late Presi-

who took the field against Gen
eral Huerta after Madero's death, ar
rived at Guadalupe Hidalgo, just out
side the federal capital, last night,
with $50 men, and surrendered to the
federal authorities.
Tapia was formerly chief officer of
the rural guards of the state of Vera
Cruz, and his decision to surrender has
caused the government great elation,
because he is popular with the rural
guards in the southeastern states. and
it was feared he would be able to mus
ter a formidable body of men to fight
against the federal troops.

EXPLOSION OF
LOADS OF DYNAMITE
In Addition to the Known Casualties 40
Stevedores Are Missing and All May
Be Dead-U. S. Collier Completely
Wrecked.

BALTIMORE, Nd, March THE
British steamer Alum Chine, loaded
with dynamite for use on the Panama
canal, was wrecked by an explosion
followed by fire in the lower harbor
today off Hawkins Point.
According to the police four men
were killed and % injured. The rest
of the people on board saved them
selves by jumping overheard. They
were picked up by launches and tugs.
A barge lying alongside containing
$50 tons of dynamite which was be-
ing transferred to the steamer was
completely destroyed. 1t is believed
the first explosion occurred on the
barge.
The force of the explosion swept
away the upper works of the United
States collier Jason, killing three men
and injuring % others. The Jason was
about 700 feet away at the time.
She had just been completed and
was soon to make her government
trial trip.

Atlantic lying alongside the Alum
Chine were killed and the tug prac

latest report, which places the number
of dead at 20 and the injured at 40.
