JUMPED INTO WATER TO ESCAPE
But Came Out When the Officer Discov-
cred Him.

st. Adams, July 23.--Deputy Sheriff
l. p. Martin had an unusual experience
yesterday when he went to Swanton to
get Dewey Lampman, the l6-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Lampman, to
take TO the state industrial school
Mr.. Martin went to the Lampman
home and no sooner had he told the
boy what he was there for than the
boy jumped through window, ran
swiftly to the river and jumped in. A
yacht was anchored some distance out
and young Lampmsn waded out and
hid himself behind the boat. The water
was so deep at that point that after
short time he found be would be un-
able to keep his head above so he be-
gan wading toward the shore, saying he
would come to land if Mr.. Martin would
not touch him. Watching his chance,
when Lampman was about ten feet from
shore, Mr. Martin jumped in and got
him, but he was obliged to tie the boy
into the automobile TO bring him to this
city. He will be taken to Vergennes.
The boy was truant from school and
his parents had entered complaint
saying that he was incorrigible and they
wanted him placed under restraint.

SUNDAY Gid" ON FOR MIDDLEBURy
All Stores to be Closed Except Regular
MeaP Places.

Middlebury, July 20. The "open door
policy which has prevailed for many
years as regards the operation of stores
on Sundays is to undergo radical
change and an ultimatum issued by the
village trustees becomes ELECTIVE on
July 25.
Merchants were treated to a surprise
yesterday when they received through
the mail notification from the trustees
that all places of business must be
kept closed on Sundays with the ex-
ception of eating houses where regular
meals are served
Food merchants, who have a regular
feeding schedule, will be permitted to
open their establishments from 7 to
10 o'clock in the morning, from IL to
2 o'clock in the afternoon and from 5
to o'clock in the evening
The chief OF police is directed to ar
rest all persons who violate the Sun
day closing mandate which bears the
signature of the village clerk, James NJ.
Burke, and the acting village attorney,
Charles |. Button.
There is considerable speculation as
just how tight the lid is to be held
down as regards Sunday opening as
opinion differs in regard to the neces-
sity for such drastic order as has
been issued by the trustees.

CATTLE ARE DYING
OF STRANGE DISEASE
Cattle Commissioner F. L. Davis Goes to
Berkshire to Investigate Deaths
of Valuable Holsteins.

Berkshire, July 23.-State Cattle Com.
missioner +. L. Davis of White River
Junction and DIR. j. c. Parker of st
Adams were. summoned here to-day to
investigate the trouble with the regis
tered Holstein herd of Linus Leavens of
Cambridge on his farm here. The third
COW of the herd to be taken with some
strange disease died last night, and the
bull of the herd is now in the first stages
of the disease. The COW which died last
night was valued at S400.
II seems that once the cattle are taken
with the disease there is no help for
them. The veterinarians had believed
that the cattle had eaten some vegetable
poison, but the report from the state
laboratory at Burlington, where the d.
gestive organs and other parts were sent
for analysis, asserts that nothing injuri-
GUS was found. The pastures where the
cows were kept have been searched by
expert botanists for poisonous weeds, but
nothing was found except ground hem
lock and few mushrooms. These, how
ever, had not been touched by the cattle.
Since Sunday, the stock have been kept
in the barn. Mr.. Leavens, the owner,
came from Cambridge last night, bring
ing DR.. Scott of johnson 10 assist DIR.
w. p. Sawyer in caring for the stock.
Joseph Playful afarmer residing in
the vicinity, has second COW which
has become affected by the strange dis.
ease. He lost one COW from the same
trouble a few days ago.

EXPECT ARREST SOON.
As Trainmen Report They Saw Girls
Body Thrown From Auto.

Buffalo, N. Y. July 23.-An arrest
within "a hours,of an important witness
and of a principal in the murder of Miss
Louise Carroll was promised by the po-
lice last night. The evidence of railroad
men who saw the unconscious form of
the girl apparently thrown from large
red touring car and abandoned was the
principal basis for this prediction.
The railroad men were on train that
was stalled near the highway where
the body was found. While they were
examining it the automobile returned
and the driver, who was alone, asked:
rs she badly hurtf" He then hurried
away, refusing to take the woman TO a
hospital.
District Attorney Wesley c. Dudley
took active charge of the case yester
day. He ordered the body removed from
the train on which it had been shipped
TO Miss Carroll's former home at Reno
VA, Pa. The body was taken from the
car at 0lean where second autopsy
was held last night. This, Mr.. Dudley
said by telephone, bore out the medical
examiners verdict that the woman had
been killed by blow on the head and
the testimony OF her friends that she
had led a pure life.

JUDGES LEG BROKEN.
r. G. Swinnerton Of Rutland Was Climb
ing On a Bench.

Rutland, July 23.--City Judge F. O.
Swinnerton, fell from chair on a bench
in the barn in the rear of his home on
North Main street last night at six
o'clock, breaking his leg just above the
ankle, both bones being fractured and
protruding through the flesh. When
found Judge Swinnerton was suffering
great agony.
In an attempt to hang something to
hook in the upper part of the first
floor he placed a chair on a work bench.
One of the chair legs fell through q
space between the boards and the court
official was suddenly precipitated TO the
floor, distance Of about seven feet.
There was no one about at the time
and the first known was when a maid
employed in the kitchen heard someone
in the rear part of the prem
ises. AT first she thought it was some
children, but an investigation discov-
cred Judge Swinnerton on the floor.
The Stearns ambulance was summoned
and the judge was rushed to the Rut-
land hospital, where he was attended by
Drs. Z. M. Pond, S. w. Hammond and
9 A. Gale.
The fracture which is of both the
large and small bones is located in the
left leg, three or four inches above
the ankle.

RUSSIANS TAKE PRISONERS.
Report Capture of 1900 at Village OF
Potourjitze.

Petrograd, via London, July 23.-The
| following official communication was is
sued from general headquarters last
night:
"In the district of Shawl, the enemy
is concentrating on lines west of the
Mitau- Shawl road.
'In the Trans -Nimen district there
was desperate fighting yesterday on the
River Jessia, southwest of Kovno.
"On the Narew front near the Rojany
(Rozan) bridgehead, desperate engage
ments occurred. Near the villages of
Mrotchka and Kayka, in the course OF
a counter attack, the Cossacks fell upon
and sabered German company.
"On the left of the Vistula, our troops
occupied the Blonie-Nadarzyn front and
the outlying defenses of Ivangorod.
"The battle between the Vistula and
the Bug yesterday again assumed a very
desperate character. The enemy is con-
centrating his principal efforts in the
direction of Baliitze, Travniki, Nolisla-
vitze and Groubecheoff, several villages
on the heights changing hands again
and again.
"On the Bug, there has been fierce
fighting from Krylow to Dobrotvore. On
an extended front above Sokol, we
cleared the right bank Of the Bug of
the enemy and took about l500 prison
ers in the village of Potourjitze."
