told the Claremont police that two
women had been observed on their
way down the tracks from the direc-
ton of Windsor.
DAILY, who had been informed of
their escape, at once telephoned to the
Junction, asking if the escaped con-
victs had arrived The answer at first
was in the negative, but about five
minutes later the ticket agent tele-
phoned that two women had come in
and were warming themselves in the
waiting room.
Taking an automobile, DAILY and Mon
ia sped to the Junction, to find the
chilled fugitives still thawing them
selves out At first they claimed to
hail from Bellows Falls, affirming that
they were waiting for the train to take
them back that morning, but their
story failed to hold water.
In the meantime the Vermont search
ing party had also received word that
the two women had been seen at the
high bridge. Warden Walker had been
to Charlestown to search for the miss
ing ones, and returned by way of
Claremont, stopping at restaurant
here before continuing to Claremont
Junction to spread the alarm there.
And it was in this restaurant that
Walker and Clark met Officer Monta,
who had come down, to get some hot
coffee for the women, whom DAILY was
guarding in the selectmen s room in
the town building during his fellow of
ficer s absence.
Upon learning that the objects of
their search had been taken into Gus
tody by the Claremont police, the Yer
mont party proceeded no further. Mrs
Bennett and Mrs. Spring, refreshed by
the hot coffee, were bundled into the
car and returned to their previous
place of confinement, reaching Windsor
about half past three this morning.

LEGACY AWAITS
MISSING WOMAN
Mrs. Farnsworth Left the Home Of
Her Parents in Springfield, VT,
September II.

SPRINGFIELD, VT, Nov. %. y
Mrs. Gertrude A. Farnsworth, formerly
of Hyde Park, Mass, mysteriously dis
appeared from the home of her
parents here several weeks ago and
since then has been left a large legacy
by rich relative, who recently died.
Her relatives in Springfield have no
titled the police, but all efforts to find
her have been fruitless. It is feared
that she became respondent over fam
lily troubles and has either made away
with herself or is in hiding to avoid
her husband, who, it is said, left the
Hyde Park home last summer, but is
now here.
Mrs. Farnsworth came here last
summer to visit her parents and while
here was notified by friends that
her husband had sold the furniture and
! disappeared. Mrs Farnsworth upon
receiving this information went to Bos
/ ton and found the information was
correct and her husband had gone
West.
Upon returning to Springfield Mrs
! Farnsworth remained several weeks
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Clar
ence Whelden, who were caring fol
her three children. IN the early even
ing of Sept. II she disappeared, taking
with her dress suit case, which con
tanned clothing. A postal card was re
ceiyed from her by her mother, date,
at Claremont, \. H., Sept. "a, stating
that she had a position in restauran
there and would be home the following
Sunday. but that is the last heard from
her.
Her husband since her disappearance
has returned here and is in the emplo.
of the Baleh Trucking company.
Mrs. Farnsworth is about five fee
in height, has brown hair, blue eyes
and weighs about l15 pounds.

P|OCHE RECORD
IS As YEARS old

Forty-five years ago yesterday
September II, 1870-The Phoebe Rec
ord-then known as The Ely Record
was founded. That Is the date when
the first issue came off the press
and copies of the edition sold read
lily on the streets at 25 and so cents
each. Phoebe, although nearly 300
miles from the nearest railroad sta
ton, was teeming with activity and
the population of the camp ran be-
tween 5000 and 1000 people.A glance
at the advertising columns OF tho
first Record indicates that there
were some live, progressive business
men here in those days. men who
were loyal to the newspaper and to
the town. H.
One of the leading general stores
was conducted by Simon Ashim, who
owned a chain of stores, having lo'
cations in Phoebe. Hamil ton, Eureka
and San Francisco. The saloons all
carried advertisements; as did the
lawyers, doctors and dentist. In fact
nearly every line of industry was
represented in the advertising col
umns. Everyone in business bought
space and no one "scabbed' on tho
print shop by resorting to the cheap
John method Of using the marking
pot to advertise their wares or use
a rubber stamp on their stationery
An interesting part of the dis
play advertising was that carried by
the stage companies. A semi-weekly
stage ran to Salt Lake City, max
ing the trip via Beaver, Fillmore
and Provo, Utah, IN three and one
half days. Two lines of stages op
