CLEVER ENTERTAINMENT

Monday afternoon and evening the
girls from Jenny Lind Cottage of the
Home School for Girls presented a
Cornish Folk play "The Silver
Thread" to fair sized and appreciative
audiences at the Caughren theatre.
The young ladies taking part showed
considerable ability and it was appar-
ent that they had spent considerable
time in preparation. The stage set
tings were very attractive. This was
the first public appearance of girls
from the School, but the Herald I'M
derstands more will follow. 1t was not
decided to present the play in public
until Sunday afternoon and the time
for advertising being short, no doubt
affected the attendance materially.

TASK WAS NOT DIFFICULTY
Only Lath and Plaster and Thin
Board Floor Between Them
and Liberty.

Two young prisoners, Carl Danforth
of this village and Fred Cody of Ar
lington, escaped from the Bennington
county Jail late yesterday afternoon.
One of the youths was committed for
horse-stealing and the other for theft
OF q motorcycle Both had been in
mates OF the jail for little over a
month. There were seven more pris
oners in the jail but none of them at
tempted to follow the example Of the
two who escaped.
Sheriff Frederick Godfrey, who is
also the iailor, is attending the ma
tional encampment of the G. A. X. at
Washington. Mrs. Godfrey, who is
in charge during the absence of the
sheriff, left the building early in the
afternoon and when she returned
found that two of her charges had de-
parted without giving their ad
dresses.
Danforth and Cody went through
the ceiling of the Jail into the county
court room on the second floor of the
building. Once in the court room
they walked down the stairs and out
of the front door. So far as can be
learned no one saw the escaping pris-
oners and no trace OF them has been
found.

Jail During their explorations they
removed one of the boards in the
floor Of the raised platform near the
south wall of the court rOoms and
which is occupied during court, ses-
sions by the sheriff and his deputies.
The plastering of the Jail ceiling
directly under the opening made by
removing the board was considerably
cracked and the light came through
into the Jail from the court room,
The two young prisoners climbed the
steel grating TO the ceiling, tore
away the plaster and lathing and
the floor of the court room. The floor
is single and built of light spruce
boards Standing on the grating, it
was not difficult matter for one of
the youths to push another board
from its fastenings and make an OPP

son of light frame to pull himself

Danforth was committed to Jail on
August on the charge of stealing u
horse from Nicholas Cone, II local

years old. w

fully. The impression is gaining
ground that Bulgaria by retracing her
steps will invite situation which
might become dangerous after the
wa.
The only means for the prevention
of Balkan war; in the opinion of
high authorities in Sofia, seems to be
the immediate cession by Serbia to
Bulgaria of the uncontested zone in
Macedonia without reservation and
an acknowledgment of Bulgarias
right to occupy the zone forthwith.
In well informed circles it is stated
that the key to the situation lies in
Nish and not in Sofia and that the
triple entente governments in order
to settle matters must become active
there.
Premier Radoslavoff yesterday
when receiving prominent members
of the agrarian party said Bulgaria's
hands were not tied by obligations to
any belligerent group and that the
concerning Bulgaria's
claims in Macedonit were progress
ing.
1t has been learned in authoritative
quarters, however, that the time left
for pour pallers is very short since
the Bulgarian government realizes
that further delay without some posi-
tive action is likely to jeojardize Bull
garias interests.
