Excellent music is furnished for the

delicacies may be had. The many cot
tages. hotels, and boarding houses and
the splendid accommodations there have
made this resort the equal of any along

CHARGED sso7 FOR JAIL BOARD.
Barre Given Bill for Simonds Brothers
in County Jail

Sheriff Frank H. Tracy dropped into
the city clerks office the other day and
left bill for S307 or thereabouts. That
same bill has preeipitated warm dis
eusson in official circles, and it is not
unlikely that the city fathers at their
regular meeting tonight will have some
thing to say about it. In brief the bill
is what the city is asked to pay for the
brothers Simonds, Leon and Howard, in
the county Jail at Montpelier all winter
and half the spring. The pair were com
mitted late last fall by Constable George
L. Morris, who held against them ac-
crued taxes aggregating $50 No specific
sentence was attached in either case, but
it was understood that the Simonds
were to work out their taxes.
1t is understood that part of the
S55 was paid to the city from money
which the pair earned while in Jail. A
third brother is still doing time and
to all accounts the city is paying for
his board at the rate of 66c per day
Sheriff Tracy told the city clerk that he
had recommendation to release the
brothers, Leon and Howard, from the
Barre city attorney. 1t is stated in
certain quarters that the city is not
liable for the board of men committed
for non payment of taxes, while on the
other hand those who contend that the
city is compelled to pay the cost of
keeping point to the statutes for their
authority
Whoever is responsible for a situation
which finds the city paying 1907 to col
leet tax bill of 500 is coming in for
good bit of criticism, If the consensus
of opinion on the street counts for any
thing. t seems to have been definitely
decided that the city must reimburse
the state for boarding its tax delin-
auents all winter, and whatever view
the city council may take, it appears
likely that the only available course win
be pursued ultimately.

Rutland. June 9.--Separated in 1865

OF two. was kidnapped, Mrs. Susan
Scott Of Sioux Falls, S. D., and Mrs. Ed
ward Dundas of this city met yesterday
for the first time in 40 years Neither

Rutland woman had supposed her sister
dead. When Mrs. Scott who recently
came east on an almost hopeless quest
for her relative. rang the door bell at s
Wales street yesterday Mrs. Dundas an
swered the summons. The Rutland
woman saw nothing familiar in the face
of the strange woman who stood before
her but Mrs. Scott saw something in the
features OF the woman of go which re-
minded her of the girl OF II whom she
remembered and exclaimed; Don't you
know your Susan?" A happy reunion
followed
The family of girls, who were reared
in Kcene, \. y, had a step mother who
was very stern. When Mary, the oldest
sister, was married and was going west
to live in 1865 the step mother would
not permit her to bid little Susan good
bye. She entered the house and carried
the child away forcibly The kid
mapping was soon discovered and the
irate step-mother rang the farm bell to
summon from the fields the farm hands,
who "hitched up" and gave chase to the
bride and groom and kidnapped child
who were on their way to the depot.
The runaways managed to board a thain
before the pursurers reached the station.
They settled in the west. The eldest
sister has long since died as has the man
who 20 years later become the husband
of Susan Mrs Scott in the meantime
had heard nothing from her family in
New York state. A few years ago she
developed desire to meet her relatives
but not until few weeks ago was it
possible for her to come east. Armed
only with knowledge of her fathers

Plattsburgh, n Y, because it was the
largest place near Keene. There she OBJ
tanned a clew Then she went to Ausable
Forks and obtained information which
led to the discovery that one of her sis
ters still lived in Keene, where she has
