lady and two girls who were guests
at the Elm House were driving home
on the Danville road between 500
and 800 p. M, two men in team
followed them from st. Johnsbury.
The ladies drove into the yard at the
Knapp place to let the team pass.
When they drove on again, they
found them waiting in the swamp
for them. They passed the men and
drove into Henry Rickaby's yard,
calling out to him, Father, come
and save u.s." hoping to evade their
pursuers by pretending they had ar
rived home.

SLICK FORGER VISITED TOWN.
Passed Worthless Check for $40 on
@. A. Searles i'm Payment of
So Worth of Goods.


Last week Tuesday evening a
gentleman claiming his name was
Harry S. Smith walked into Charles
A. Searles drug store and claimed he
was a graduate nurse. He ordered
about SIS worth of drugs and seemed
to be familiar with their medicinal
qualities. In payment he offered
Mr.. Searles a check for $40, claiming
that he received that for his last
case and talked so smoothly that Mr..
Searles accepted it giving him the
change in the coin of the realm.
The next heard from the matter
was a notice from the chief of police
of Waterbury, Conn, to M. G. Gar
field that a bogus check with Mr..
Searles endorsement had been re-
ceived at the Continental Bank of
that place. The check was drawn
on that bank and had the fictitious
name, John NJ. Lewis on it. The
officers would like to now locate the
fellow He had stolen blank checks
from book belonging to a minister
in Waterbury, Conn.
The forger, in company with a
young women, appeared at the Shell
don Hotel about eight o'clock that
evening and registered as George B.
Smith and wife, but had no baggage
whatever with them. They left an
order to be called early Wednesday
morning and left on one of the trains
going east or west.
The man called on DR.. E. H. Ross,
claimed he was graduate nurse but
suffering from a nervous breakdown
and secured a prescription from the
doctor.

INQUEST NOT FINISHED.
Date for Trial of Harlow Hatch Not
Determined-MiX Up Over


No date has been set for the trial
of Harlow w. Hatch who is held for
the shooting of Sumner G. Brown in
the pool room on Eastern avenue:
Sunday evening, July IS. 1t is re-
ported that the inquest is not finish
ed but as soon as r. w. Simonds is
able to work with his partner in de-
fense of the case a special grand jury
will be called and if an Indictment
is found a special term of court will
be held to try him.
Although the officials who have in
vestigated the case and others sup
posed to know about the matter gave
out the statement that the cider on
which the men became intoxicated
was secured at E. G. Thompson's s
place, Mr. Thompson denies it. He
even declares that he knows the cider
was secured elsewhere. At his re-
quest we publish the following state
ment:
Denial by Thompson.
E. G. Thompson of Morse's Mills
states that he furnished no cider for
Harlow w. Hatch and Sumner G..
Brown on the day that Brown was
shot by Hatch. He denies that he had
any cider at that time and says that
Brown was partially intoxicated
when the party reached his place.
He says there was in his barn a bar
rel of sap or cider belonging to Les
lie Taylor that was stored there un-
til it turned into vinegar but if the
men got any of that neither he or
his family knew of it.

Sunmer-Spoiled Skin
Removed by Absorption

AS undue summer exposure usually
leaves an undesirable surface of tan,
redness or roughness, often freckles,
too, the sensible thing to do is to re-
move such surface There's nothing
better for this than ordinary mercol-
ized wax, which actually absorbs an un-
wholesome complexion. The thin lay
er of surface skin is itself absorbed,
gently, gradually, so there's no incon-
venience, no detention indoors. Spread
the wax lightly over the entire face at
bedtime and take it off in the morning
with warm water. II you will get one
ounce of mercolized wax at the drug
store, use 1t for a week as so, you may
expect marked improvement daily.
When the underlying skin Is wholly in
view your complexion will be a marvel
of spotless purity and beautiful white
ness.
Don't let those summer wrinkles
worry you; worry breeds more
wrinkles. Danish them by bathing the
face in solution of powdered saxolite,
/ o.. dissolved in " pit witch hazel.
Used daily for a while this will be
found wonderfully effective.

DOG ACT CERTAIN
To Be SETTLED NOW
State Authorities Do Not Intend to
Be Severe on Foreigners
Pending a Decision

Officials of the State Game Commits
sion are not only disposed to wait until
the courts pass upon the validity of the
act prohibiting unnaturalized foreign
ers from !7eeping dogs, but appear to
be rather glad to do so. Some time
ago DR.. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of
the commission, issued a notice to the
effect that people should not rush to
prosecute the foreigners under the pro-
visions of the act and that he did not
intend to have his officers do anything
until everyone had notice. He said
that he intended to have notices print
ed in half a dozen languages so that
the foreigners might have time to dis
pose of their dogs, closing his letter by
stating that Americans should treat
these people the way they would like
to be treated themselves
The action brought in one of the
western counties to test the act will
probably cause the state officials to
wait a while before starting anything.
The State Fisheries Commission is
giving broadcast notice that unnat-
uralized foreigner sshould not fish in
the streams of the state because of
the prohibition in the act approved
several weeks ago. 1t is likely that a
suit to test this act will be started.
Some arrests have been made under it
and there is much protesting.
