ALLEGED FUR THIEVES

Riley Moser and George Lyons of
Hardwick in the Tolls of the Law.
Just Is months and one day after
Max Schlarman of Hardwick had a
quantity of furs, valued at $500,
stolen from him, Sheriff Worthen
visited Hardwick and placed Riley
Moser under arrest as one of the
thieves Moser was brought here to
Jail but on Saturday bail in the sum
of $3.50 was furnished and he was
released.
Friday night Sheriff Worthen got
George Lyons in Glover, an alleged
accomplice of Moser, and brought him
here to jail. 1t is expected he will
have preliminary hearing before
Judge Porter on Wednesday.
A short time before the robbery,
Moser sold $3.50 worth of furs to Mr..
SchIarman. Entrance to the barn
in which the furs were kept was made
through a window, which is so high
above the ground that one man could
not have reached it.

RECENT DEATHS.


Celina Ouellette, wife of John
Lanctot, died Saturday evening at st.
Johnsbury Hospital following an OPP
Grafton performed that morning. She
had been in poor health for the last
four years following shock which
deprived her of the power OF speech.
She was born in St. Adams, Feb. ~,
1876, and was married there in 1868.
1t will be remembered that in 1913
she and Mr.. Lanctot celebrated their
golden wedding. She is survived
by seven of the ten children who were
born to her and her husband: j. Ed
ward of Boston, John, Mrs. E. n
Brunette, Frank X, and Archie OF 81.
Johnsbury, Mrs. l.. A. Depatie and
Charles w. of Enosburg Falls All
the children were here for the 1uneral
which was on Tuesday morning from
Notre Dame church. Solemn high
mass of requiem was sung by Rev. r..
C. Drouhin, with Rev. John DWyer
as deacon and Rev. d. Carriere as sub
deacon. Music was by the boys choir.
Those from away to attend the fu-
neral were the three brothers of the
deceased, Mr.. and Mrs. J. Ouellette OF
Somersworth, n. H., Charles DUEL
Ilette and Nelson Ouellette of Worces-
ter, Mass, Mr.. and Mrs. j. Lapoint,
Mrs. B. Beauregard, Mrs. Watchie
and daughter of Lyndonville. Be
sides the three brothers who were
here, Mrs. Lanctot leaves a sister,
Mrs. Sophia Bennett of Worcester,
who was unable to come.

gett last Saturday afternoon and went
over the situation and Mrs. j. A.

resenting the sentiments Of the tax
payers in that section.
An Appeal to the Town Voters
Please scrutinize carefully

The town of st. Johnsbury
Which some thing does lack.
It's not a long story
If you will listen to me
I'll try and explain
What ! believe you don't see.

NMUNICIPAL COURT
Many Offenders Feel the Hand of the
LaW-SOme in Jail.


Judge Porter had a rather busy
week in municipal court the past
week. Aside from the civil case re-
ported elsewhere, the following Grim
inaIs have been before him.
On March 20, Wallace Wilbur was
found guilty of intoxication and fined
SIS and costs of 1854.
March 10, Walter Berry of Morgan
was found guilty of petit larceny in
West Burke and was sentenced to
serve one month in jail.
Last Wednesday Judge Porter was
in Ryegate where the residence of
Mrs. B. Agustini was searched and
liquor found. She was charged with
selling but furnished $3.50 bail and
her hearing continued until Thurs
day of this week.
Willis Love, a negro, who claimed
to come from Montreal, was arrested
in Lyndonville as a tramp and was
sentenced to serve so days at Rut-
land.
Dennis Tanner was arrested at
LyndonviIIe for breach of the peace
and was found guilty and sentenced
to serve two months in the county

Disappointed in the Women

Women voters in Chicago have
proved a fiat disappointment to many
friends of woman's suffrage. They
have voted in harmony with reaction.
They have defeated a reform mayor
of demonstrated worth, who had
every right to expect the backing of
the women.
His record of having retained Ella
Flagg Young as head of the schools
should of itself have guaranteed
Mayor Harrison the votes of all in
telligent women. They have instead
repudiated Mrs. Young and the mayor
alike.
Chicago women could have over
come the vote of corrupt classes con-
trolled by INSCRIPTIONS ward leaders.
They had a striking chance to line
up sharply with the forces of decency
in the Democratic primary. They
could have shown the whole nation
that the best womanhood Of America &
second city is intelligently arrayed on
the side of clean politics.
In this test they failed completely.
Their help in defeating Carter Fl.
Harrison was not an astounding thing
1t was simply the mediocre, the stale
and ordinary thing, which it was
fondly hoped the women would rise
above. Women are not a purifying
element in Chicago politics. They
are of the earth-very earthly
Philadelphia Telegraph.

Was a bond of connection
For people untold.
And now we are travelling
Almost a mile more
To make the connection
With the post Office door.
Down a very steep hill
At the railroad station
And the most dangerous crossing
In all of creation.
Unless the government discontinues
Mail route number four
Each daily journey
Will be three miles more.
If you eliminate our crossing
You must eliminate too
The value of our real estate
AS far as town taxes go.
Who is going to recompense us
And the amount of our loss
For the shrinkage in value
From what our farms cost?
Life long residents
And tax payers too
We feel we are entitled
To consideration by you.
Please don't isolate us
As though we were lepers
Or send us around any old route
When to the church and the grange
We wish to get out.
The bridge can be widened and the
highway too
So widen your intellects accordingly
And take a broad, wise view.
The Bacon crossing
Is dangerous they say
For travellers with brains
But don't appeal to me that way.
Will you investigate thoroughly
Without much delay
And decide what you would do
If you lived up our way.
Am l my brothers. keeper
Is as true today
AS in the time of Christ
So far, far away.
Please apply your christianity
AS man to man
And give us a bridge
AS you very we'll can.
For economy's sake
Use the very old site
Build a good, wide bridge
Which would be delight.
If the town can afford it
We've nothing to say
About the East side of the river
With it's broad high way.
And in conclusion
Please allow me to state
The Gold Rule is broad enough
To guide you at this date.
Apr. 3. j. A. AVER.
