WORK OF VANDALS.

While Robert M. ellison of Rutland,
an employe of the State Forestry de-
partment, was travelling over the trail
on Lincoln Mountain, he found that
vandalism had been practiced there.
The comfortable log cabin built on the
lofty peak of Lincoln Mountain by the
late Joseph Battell of this village had
been broken into and reduced to ruins.
The furniture had been reduced to
kindling, two serviceable stoves were
broken, beds had been thrown out of
the windows, and other furnishings
broken. 1t is thought to have been
the work of a gang who recently brok e
into and wrecked the hotel on Mount
Killington. The authorities have been
notified.

STOCK JUDGING DEMONSTRA
TIONS

Stock Judging Demonstrations are to
be held throughout the county during
the week beginning August 8th The
County Agent has as yet received but
one call for these demonstrations, thus
he is taking the initiative by placing
them in several different towns, hoping
to get the boys interested so they may
obtain the advantage of this training
as have boys in other counties of the
State. Not only does this prepare the
boys for contests at the fairs, but it
lends permanent, practical, educa-
tional value. We need better stock in
Addison County and we must first learn
to know better stock. Let us work for
the prizes as offered by the fair asso-
Citations but remember we are working
ultimately for better stock.
Watch for flyers in your town to tell
you when and where the demonstrations
are to be held. Men as we'll as boys
should attend these demonstrations.

d. S. Pease of Burlington has pur-
chased the stock and fixtures of the
M. X. Moore furniture store on Main
street, next to Battell bridge. Mr.
Pease has been in the furniture busi-
ness for many years, but several years

dertaking branch, which he conducted
in connection with his furniture bust
ness in Burlington. Mr. Pease intends
to give the people of Middlebury first
class furniture store and it will be his
aim to carry line of high grade fur
niture, bedding, roofing, and he will
also do a general line of picture franz
ing. Mr.. Pease comes to Middlebury
highly recommended and is an enter
prising and conservative business man.
Mr.. Pease took possession of the store
on Monday, August 2. He expects to
move his family here as soon as he can
get convenient location. He has two
daughters, one a teacher in the Bur
lington Graded school and the other

tioneer, which business he has followed
for number of years. He will con-
tinue to make Middlebury his home.

CELEBRATES 99th BIRTHDAY.
MiddIebury, Talks of Euro
pean War.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat of
August has a very interesting ac-
count of the celebration of her Goth
birthday of Mrs. Mary Langdon, a
native OF Mddlebury.
Mrs. Mary Langdon discussed the
European war situation yesterday at
the celebration of her goth birthday in
the Home of the Friendless, 443l South
Broadway. She has been a resident of
the home for 27 years.
Surrounded by flowers and bowl of
gold fish sent by the seventy-eight other
inmates, Mrs. Langdon said that she
knew she would live to be at least 1907
She reads the daily papers, walks about
her room; takes part in conversations
about current events and aside from a
slight deafness enjoys perfect health
and the control of all her faculties.
Her daughter, Mrs. Isabella Turner,
"A, is also resident of the home.
Mrs. Langdon was born in Middle
bury, VT. She came to St. Louis when
she was child She is the widow of
the late Sylvester Langdon, and has,
besides Mrs. Turner, one other daugh-
ter residing in California.
"The home of the friendless was es-
tablished sixty-one years ago at its
present address by charitable St.
Louisans. 1t is kept by private sub
scripton. Mrs John D. Davis is presi-
dent of the managing board, assisted
by twenty-five prominent ST. Louis
men and women, who manage the in
stitutions affairs.
Formerly the site was a French
Swiss school, where, many, many years
ago, St. Louisans and Missourians
brought their daughters in stage
COACHES. Some years ago the buildings
were remodeled and largely improved. 4"

WILMARTH STILL MISSING.

John L. Wilmarth, who shot and Sc
riously wounded Miss Stella Cross near
her home on Sunday night, July 25, is
still fugitive from justice. Sheriff
Olin A. Smith and his deputies have
been constantly at work on the case,
but have not been able to obtain the
slightest clue to Wimarth's where
abouts. States Attorney Allen R.
Sturtevant has been in consultation with
Attorney General Barber at Brattle-
boro, but the result of the conference is
not known. The theory first advanced
! that he had committed suicide has been
abandoned and the belief is now that he
is alive and hiding in the mountains
near his home to await the outcome of
Miss Cross wounds. He was born and
brought up at the foot of Grand View
mountain and was very familiar with
that part of the country.
The condition of Miss Cross is daily
growing better and it is not thought
that blood poisoning will set in. She
was taken to the Mary Fletcher hospital
Sunday. Miss Cross seemed to suffer
no ill effects from the trip which was
made in the Burlington police Depart
ment ambulance. She was accom-.
panied by DR.. V. NJ. Waterman. her
mother, Miss Mary Hart, a nurse, and
Harry Cross, her brother.
An x-ray examination Monday re-
vealed but two bullets, the one that
went in back of the ear and one that
went in front of the ear. The one
that went squarely in the ear is so
deeply imbedded that it did not show in
the picture. Another attempt will be
made to locate it after Miss Cross's
condition has improved No attempt
will be made to remove either bullet at
present.
The bullet which went directly into
the ear probably met with no resist
ance, and it is this, lodged, the doctors
think, in the back of the nose, that the
first x-ray examination failed to locate.
1t is this bullet also which probably
caused the greatest loss of blood, the
hemorrhage from the nose being severe
and long continued
The sheriff's department have sent
out circulars giving a description of
Wilmarth and offering a reward of $50
for information leading to his arrest.
