At Centerville Runs Amuck When
Aroused to Anger.

C~enterville, March 2.-When some
Centerville young men made 1ocular
remarks about the wearing apparel
of a stranger, who had been wander
ing about town acting in an erratic
manner. they did not know he was
insane. But they speedily learned
that they had been indiscreet in tan
talizing the stranger, for in an in
slant he became a raving maniac. He
produced a knife and violently at
tackled those about him, but forum
ately all the young men were able to
keep out of his reach. Then he ran
amuck through the streets. entering
several business houses and threat
ening the lives of those within.
Then he proceeded to the Chicago Il

FAMILY TROUBLE
Causes Day County Farmer TO BE.
come Insane.

Webster, March 2.-Having recov-
cred from self inflicted wounds, John
Kotzea, a Day county farmer, who
recently created a sensation by at
tempting to burn the buildings on his
farm, and then tried to end his life
by cutting his throat, has been ar
rested by the county authorities on
the charge of arson. Being unable
to furnish a bond, the accused has
been lodged in the county Jail pend
ing his trial. Kotzea recently quar-
relied with his wife and they sepa-
rated. Ever since the separation he
had been drinking heavily and it is
believed he continued this until he
became insane. Then he set fire to
his barn and other buildings and at
tempted to end his life by cutting his
throat. Neighbors saw the fire and
went to the scene in time to save all
the buildings but the barn, which
was destroyed. Kotzea was found in
an unconscious condition in one OF
the smaller buildings. In welding
the razor he missed the jugular vein
The barn, which was burned, was a
new one, having been erected only
last fall at a cost of $1,000. Kotzea
was doing well financially and would
have continued to prosper had it not
been for the trouble with his wife.

he attacked the night operator with
the knife. The later made a fight
for life, utilizing a stove poker as a
weapon and with this finally succeed
ed in knocking the insane man down.
At this %juneture the city marshal
and a posse arrived and after a
struggle succeeded in overpowering
and capturing the crazy man. The
prisoner proved to be A. j. Gashe,
who last fall made his escape from
the state hospital for the insane at
Yankton. and who eve since has
been wandering through the south
eastern section of South Dakota.

New York, March Special:
While news is being awaited of the

of the most interest in the war-a
further statement has been made
public by the Russian war office in
dicating a great battle on the left
bank of the Niemen, a determined
check to the German advance in Po-
land, and successes over the Aus

There are evidences also of heavy
fighting in the western wal zone, but
the respective statements of the
Frnch and Germans are Numerically
opposed. The Germans claim to have
pushed the allies back to the west of
the Vosges for a distance of nearly
four miles. The French declare that
in the Vosges region they have re-
pulsed an attack by the Germans.
They claim marked progress on the
whole front in the Champagne dis
trict, while the Germans assert that
they have completely repealed the
French attack.

report gains in the n~eighborhood of

Offers Approved Recipe.

Bookings, March Miss Nola
X. Fromme, professor of home eco
nomics at State college, suggests the
following proportions and directions
to help in correcting some failures in
bread making: Two cups of water
or milk; 2 teaspoons sugar; " cup
prepared yeast; 6 or 7 cups of sifted
bread -four; 2 teaspoons salt; ] table
spoon shortening.
Scald the liquid, especially If milk
is used, to prevent the growth of un-
desirable bacteria and to give
warmth to the dough, and add to this
the salt, sugar and shortening.
Shortening is not essential. but used
for flavor and t~enderness.) Cool this
to lukewarm and add the prepared
yeast. If dry or liquid yeasts are
used the process will have to be con-
tinued over night.

PLANTED TO KILL
]. D. ARCHBOLD
President Of Standard Oil Com :
pany Had a Narrow Escape
PROBABLY ANARCHISTS REVENGE
Four Sticks of Dynamite Placed in
Driveway Where Automobile in
Passing Would Explode It,

New York, Nov 22,--An attempt to
kin John D. Archbold, President of
the Standard Oil Company at his es.
tate in Tarrytown which the police
believe was planned By the anarchists
and l. w. W. radicals as protest
against the execution of Joseph Hill
strom at Salt Lake City on Friday,
was frustrated Saturday afternoon by
John Wahlauist head gardener Of
the oil magnate's estate, who found
four sticks OF dynamite. Weighing a
pound each, half hidden in rut in
the south driveway scarcely fifty feet
from the front entrance OF the resi-
dencC.
The dynamite sticks were bound to
gether by a length OF wire and were
fitted with percussion caps About
this bomb was wrapped a piece Of
paper much the color OF The. roadway,
which made il iuconspicuous The
driveway was the one which Mr. Arch
hold would use in going to CT from
his home by automobile. 1t was be-
lieved that the dynamite was placed
in the roadway on Friday night Mr.
Archbdld, by chance went for trip
on his yacht the Vixen, on Saturday,
and did NOT use his automobile.
Investigations which have been
made by Mr Archbold and the police.
It was saM last night, had brought
out much evidence that the attempt
to kill Mr.. Archbold was continua-
tion of the bomb op,rages in New
York a few months ago. which we're
staged by the anarchists. These at
tempts were aimed chiefly at public
buildings and churches. but the
threat was made at that time TO get

HUNTERS SHOULD
HAVE KILLED
1000 DEER
Complete Returns MayExCeed This
Number for First Week
MANY BUCKS HAVE FALLEN
Records at Commissioners Office
Show Number of Doe-Klllnss Is
Not Comparatively Large.

The 1915 deer season was one week
old this morning and in all probabili-
ty full two thousand of the animals
have been killed in the state. Il
would not be at all surprising to
learn that the reports already in the
hands OF State Commissioner John
w. Titcomb will show that more than
two thousand. have already fallen be-
fore the rifles of the hunters.
The commissioner issued report
Friday showing that he had received
notifications OF 1926 deer Last year
the 1900 mark was not reached until
after IA days of hunting. OF the
number reported 52S were bucks and
59S were does. showing that not so
many does are being killed as was
predicted by many before the season
opened
A large number of reports would
naturally be received during Satur-
day and Sunday, as many of the hunt
ers left the woods with the end of the
week. especially those who had been
successful. County Game Warden e.
S. Higgins on Saturday sent in re-
ports for q deer killed in this county
and it is likely that the other county
wardens had some heavy returns to
make.
Washington county leads the list
up to date with 264. Windham is sec
ond with 239, Windsor reported 1872
and Rutland ia
Charles H. Resseguie came into the
village Sunday with a good buck.
Ward Lyons stated Saturday night
that there we're six deer at the
Lions den near the Stamford line,
five belonging to members of the
party in camp and the sixth owned by
another hunter.
A handsome buck shot by Guy 7.
Murray of Old Bennington at the
Hawks camp in Stratton is hanging
in one of the village markets.
Frank Delaurier secured fine
buck on the Rich lumber job in the
town of Manchester
The Salisbury party that went in
to camp in Jamaica has three deer
hanging before the cabin, according
to telephone message from +. ~

Louis Mattison was another member
who secu-el his deer.
Persons. who were on the mountain
Sunday. state that there was five in
ches of snow in the vicinity of Wood

a condition viii materially aid the

impossible to track the deer

Athens, Nov. 22.-The entente al
lies have demanded that Greece eth
er join with them and fulfil her trea-
ty obligations to Seryia Or demobilize,
and in order to convince King Con-
stantine that they mean what they
say the allies have declared a com
mercial blockade OF the Hellenic en-
pire. No confirmation OF these state
ments is available in London, but it
is certain that Lord Kitchener, the
British war secretary. who had an
hours audience with the king OF
Greece Saturday and afterward saw
Premier Skouloudis, took a firm
stand and told them what the allies
could and would do unless the de-
mands were conceded
The entente allies win not permit
any delay; the position Of the Sery-
ian armies makes any prolongation
OF the present uncertainty impossible.
Already the Seryians are making
what may be their last stand before
Monastir and also on the plains Of
Kossova. The Bulgarians it is true,
are being held up BY unfayorable
weather conditions but they must be
almost at the gates or the Macedon
ian capital by this time, While the
Austro-G ermans and Bulgarians are
slowly but surely pressing back the
northern army
The Germans announced yesterday
The capture of Noyipazar and are
therefore on the direct road to Nitro
yitsa, which has been the Servian
capital since Nish fell into the hands
Of the Bulgarians Other armies are
pressing in from the north, the north
west, the northeast and the east, and
even the Montenegrins, who held
their positions for so long, are being
forced back.
OF the French and British troops
in the south no news has been receiy-
ed Apparently they are only holding
their positions and can no longer
hope to render assistance to the Ser
vans except by keeping a large num-
ber OF Bulgarians engaged Accord
ing TO German reports. an effort will
be made by the French and British
to save the Seryiau armies by send
ing troops through Montenegro and
Albania, but with poor roads it will
take long time for them to reach
the battlefield

ARLINGTON is ELATsp
over Success of North District
Historical Play.

Historical Play.
The people OF the North District
are much pleased with The success of
their historical play given on NoSem-
Der 18th for the benefit OF the school
house The Town hall was filed to
It's utmost capacity, ana many were
turned away because there was liter
ally not standingroon for one more
The intent attention which was Civ
en- to the historical part OF the play
and the hearty laughter and applause
which greeted the fun and lively ele-
ments of the eighteenth-century fami-
ly gathering ON the stage gave graft
flying proof OF the approval of the big
audience,
The accounts have not been entire
ly completed, as all expenses cannot
yet be ascertained, but more than
one hundred dollars were taken in
from all sources, and it is certain that
more than eighty dollars will be
cleared,
The North District people think
that perhaps the public may be in
terested to know that the play was
produced with no resources other
than can be readily found in any
Vermont rural community There
was practically no expense of cos
tunes, although these we're complete
and elaborate. They were manufac-
tured at home out of old materials al
ready at hand. or in a few cases out
OF very inexpensive materials pur-
chased at the local stores. AS an eX-
ample the costume OF one OF the lit
tie girls, boufrant eighteenth-century
skirt, brocade paniegs and bodice,
fichu, cap. ruffles and all, was made
for the most part out of new mater
ias, and cost thirty-dye cents in cash
and the expenditure of considerable
Yankee ingenuity. The wigs-all
men and boys wore the bag-wig of
the period-were made at home from
dscorded false hair Or from ravelied
rope The slabs which framed the
very realistic log-cabin interior were
contributed from local mill, and the
ubstantial-looking fireplace was con
triyed in an ordinary barn workshop
In getting up the play one of the pur-
poses of the North District people
was to prove that such an entertain
ment, elaborate as to costume, with
numerous cast OF characters, can
be arranged in an ordinary Vermont
farm community with little outlay of
cash, and with an expenditure OF time
and thought which is more than re-
warded by the interest and fun which
ensue.
The North District people feel how
ever, that they deserve credit for one
more element of success beside Yam
kee ingenuity, and that is hearty
goodwill in cooperation between
neighbors Nothing like the results
could have been produced if every
one in the group Of families involved,
had not been willing and glad to do
anything and everything he could to
forward the undertaking. TO give a
list of those whose services We're es-
sential to the play, would be to men
ton nearly everyone in every house
in the North District \ consider
able majority of the people were actu-
ally in the play, and those who were
not, did invaluable work as stage
! carpenters, scene-shifters, ticket-selI-

ers, ushers, etc. etc. This is fact
in which North District people take
justifabe pride. They also wish to
acknowledge their Indebtedness to
DR.. and Mrs Russell who took promi-
nent parts in the play; to Mrs. Gil
christ who sold a large number of
tickets, to Mr.. Adams, Otto Bennett,
Mr.. Kennedy, and James Garfield
who made contributions 10 the school
house funds: and to Miss Martha
Garfield who furnished q consider
able amount of the stage furnishings
from the stores Of old-time articles in
her house.
The changes to be made in the
schoCl-house have not yet been entire
ly settled upon but some of those
under discussion are rooted, open
air play-porch with some simple gym
nastic apparatus. miscrospcope for
nature-study; new window-shades; a
Victrola and some records, a fenced
in school garden, books, etc. etc.
