 The storm of Saturday was SO severe that night found the roads about i'm: possible, the stage driver, Frederick Luce, hired O. Edward Meachama to take his large sled and two horses to go to Rockville with the mail and passengers. It took two hours for them to reach Rockville, and the mail on the return trip was not received until 9 o'clock. Sunday the three se- lectmen of the town were out with teams and men and broke out the main roads. The zero temperature and hard snow made it very difficult. There are drifts from four to six feet deep right in public roads. All church going was abandoned Sunday, as it was impossible for people to get to church. Mondays storm filled up the paths that were broken out and made it harder for traffic than before. It seems truly like the Snow Bound" of former years. The pupils of our public schools were delayed on account of the bad travelling. A good many were put on the absent list tss*af

REQUISIT!ON REFUSED
Governor Decides Case Against Henry

tampe-ISeiOnSs to Civil Court.
Harry Campo. the Norfolk business
man who is charged with obtaining
money by q confidence game in Chi
cage, will not be taken to that city for
trial. Governor stuart yesterday after
noon refused to honor the rcquisition
Of the Governor or Illinois, which was
served on him recently.
Campo appeared before the Governor,
accompanied by his attorneys. Nat NJ.
Greene and Moe Levy. of Norfolk. and
Leon Nelson, OF Richmond. The ac-
cused man declared that the criminal
proceedings instituted against him were
unwarranted. lie said his accuSer was
"A former business, associate. and that
the money involved was lost in 4 trans
action that was entirely legitimate.
HIS former partner, he said, swore out
the charge that he operated a conf
dencc game in the hope Of forcing him
TO pay back the money lcgitimately
lost :
Campc's attorneys said that the Chi
cago case was one for the civil courts,
and argued that the prosecution was
brought in an attempt to collect Il debt.
Governor Stuart accepted the latter
theory, and sent Campo on his way re-
joicing.

some suggestions to offer, and in a let
ter to Chairman H. P. Wood, he says,
inpart: - &c.,.
Il would suggest that in any inter
views you give out about our exposi-
tien building that you ask that all
islanders leaving for San Francisco
should make it an objective to visit
the exposition grounds and watch our
building grow during the next four
months. 1t will be one way of getting
we'll acquainted with our site and
building and naturally our people.
while visiting east will talk more
about cur building and ask everybody
they converse with to see us there
