TWO AUTOS STOLEN
One Became Disabled and Had to Be
Abandoned

Middlebury, July 24-The garage Of
Stakes & Co., on Washington street
here was broken into early yesterday
morning by thieves who succeeded in
getting away with Chevrolet road
ster and Ford touring car the latter
coming to grief near East Middlebury
and being abandoned, badly damaged
a short time later.
Deputy Sheriffs N. j. Sanford and
Edward Higgins Of Middlebury went
to work on the case. They traced the
runaway Chevrolet car as far as Sails
bury and it is thought that the fugi-
tives went south from there. The au-
tomobile gang is thought to be the
same persons who abandoned in Bris-
tol this week An Overland car which
was stolen in Massachusetts,.
Entrance to the Stokes garage was
gained by means of window. Mrs.
Frank Stone, who lives next door, and
Roy Robbins, whose home is across the
street, heard a noise and saw people in
the garage at 2:30 a. m, but as it is
not uncommon for men to be in the
station at all hours of the
night, they were not alarmed.
The theft was discovered at 1880
o'clock yesterday morning. The sher-
if department was notified at>once
and work of the affair was telephoned
to Rutland and Burlington.
The thieves evidently attempted to
get away with Pope car. They
filled its tank with gasoline and put
in plenty of oil but could not start it.
A Ford runabout was also tampered
with.

A WEEKS END ON
LAKE CHAMPLAIN
An Interesting Trip Thro' Historic
Country by a Party of Nature

An Interesting Trip Thro' Historic
Country by a Party of Nature
Fakers.
On Thursday afternoon party con-
sisting of Messrs. Emory s. Harris
and Grant Harbour Of Bennington,
and j. w. Fowler, f. F. Hinman and
o. r. Bennett of Manchester, left on
weekend fishing trip at Thompson's
Point, on Lake Champlain.
All Of the members Of the party be-
ing good sea faring individuals, it was
decided that instead Of making the
trip by the all-rail route that they
would go to Vergennes by rail and
arrangements had been made at that
place for a trip down the Otter Creek
to Lake Champlain and then down the
lake to our destination.
Our pilots were told off for different
parts of the trip The rail route ex-
tended as far as Vergennes station and
was in charge Of chief pilot Fowler,
and the landing at the station at the
ancient city was made without any
accident, but from there on
it seemed that things were not going
to run quite as smoothly.
1t had been planned that the party
were to be met by an auto and convey
ed from the station TO the falls Of the
Otter where a motor boat was to be j
in waiting to take US over the water
route. Upon loking about az the sta
tion the then pilot Harris, erstwhile !
U. S. Marshal and at present p. NJ. Of
Bennington, espied an automobile in
10 which the entire party was ordered
only to be ordered out by the owner
who soon appeared with party Of
aides. The trip TO tide water was
then made in more humble manner
As soon as the waters edge was
reached Mr.. Harbour commenced 10
show an unnatural timidity but was
soon assured By the pilot that all was
we'll as the party who was 70 run us
10 to our destination was named ST.
Peter, which was very reassuring.
Such assurance as the name gave was

COL. L. S. kINSLEY'S
YOUNG SON DIES
Burns Received by Falling Into Pail
of Hot Water Prove Fatal to Baby

As the result of burns sustained
Saturday afternoon, Earle S. Kinsley,
Jr., the two and one-half-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Earle s. kinsley Of
II North Main street, died Sunday af-
ternoon at o'clock. The accident oc-
CURED at the Kinsley camp in Mendon,
over the Notch, when the child stepped
backward into a pail of boiling water.
Immediately following the accident
medical assistance was summoned and
the child and its mother brought to
Rutland but small hope Of the child's
recovery was entertained from the
first.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kinsley, with the baby
and their daughter Hester, have been
in camp in the kinsley cottage for the
last week, having as their guests, Mr..
and Mrs. George H. Almon of Mont
pelier. Saturday morning Mr.. and
Mrs. Almon and Miss Kinsley came to
Rutland by automobile. In the after
noon, while the maid was cleaning an
adjoining room, Mrs. Kinsley and the
baby were looking out Of the window.
In some unknown way the baby escap-
ed its mothers notice and backed into
the pail OF scalding water.
Mrs. Kinsley, startled by the child's
cries, quickly rescued him from the
water, but not until he had been ter
ribly burned about the legs and hips.
Word Of the accident was sent to Rut-
land from Wheelerville, and within an
hour DR.. s. w. Hammond and DR..
William Stickney were on the scene,
but the child's injuries proved to be
so severe that the physicians held out
no hope. TIE parents are prostrated
over the accident.
Besides his parents and sister, the
baby is survived by a brother, George
S. Kinsley, who at present is out Of
the city.

DEAD TWO WEEKS
Crazy Italian Dies From Paris Green
Poison in Nottingham

David Drinkwine made grewsome
discovery Sunday, July Is, when he
found the body Of lonely Italian who
had been known as Cray Pete" and
had been wandering in that locality
for some time, making his abode in an
old shanty on the Wilder place near
Mr.. Drinkwine's house. The man ap-
peared TO be about 40 years old and
he could neither talk, read nor write
so that anyone could understand him.
No one remembered seeing him for
some time and evidently he had been
dead from one 10 two weeks as his
body WAS very badly decomposed. The
selectmen were called and Undertaken
Canedy took charge OF the body, which
was given a respectable burial by the
town.
The body was found on the top floor
of his shanty and death evidently was
caused by poisoning. A l00-pound
box OF Paris green was found in his
home and one package was broken
open and traces of the poison were
found in his water pail and spider. II
is thought that in his ignorance he
the poison which was marked
c. H. Waste, Jacksonville, VT, and
was stolen from the station, for some
kind of food. No trace Of any particle
Of food or dishes were found in his
rude home.

caught up by the earnest young mer
that face him.
None Of the men in attendance al
the school is over 2s years Of age, and
none Of the men conducting the school
is over 35. This merely emphasizes
the extreme youth Of the enterprise
and gives a hint Of the possible future
which lies in store for the men who
are spending their summer months in
hard study.
Opportunity is given everyone to
wander about among the beautiful
mountains Of East Dorset and each
such opportunity is eagerly seized by
the students. Plans for a baseball
game have beer made which will be
staged between the East Dorset team
and the invaders. Several of them
have erected tent on the bank Of
Mad Tom where they sleep every
night Expeditions onto Mount Aeolus
are daily affairs.
The school will continue all Of this
week and next and then the students
will leave East Dorset. They will go
to Boston and New York to become
familiar with the Office
systems and organizations of some Of
the very big concerns there.

the gang, who turned states evidence
Charlie Ross received q sentence OF
not lss than three nor more than four
months for vagraney. Michael Larner
who also gave testimony favorable to
the state, was let of with a three
months sentence. The case against
Mangan was not pressed because of
the assistance he gave the state.
Ross stood trial, acting as his own
lawyer. He said something about ap-
pealing his case to county court, but
it is not probable that he can get bail,
The evidence showed that Ross and
others who were arrested were
lounging about the vicinity Of the
track and the Robinson coal sheds for
some days. They were in the business
district Wednesday and induced a man
named Burns to get them half pint
Of alcohol, which they were just going
to reduce with water when the officers
apeared and broke up the party.
Ross told the court that he could not
figure out how he was a tramp when
he was merely out Of work for few
days. He thought that there were
many good mechanics, now idle, who
are just as guilty Of tramping as he.
He earned last week $24S0 working at
his trade as painter. He had more
work just as remunerative that would
be ready for him in few days.

slightly shattered, however, when he
was heard TO ask n young man near
, the boat how to turn on the switch TO
start the motor. II was at this point
that Mr.. Hinman first commenced to
show some hesitancy about the ability
of the pilot to properly get the party
to their destination, and from that
point until the members reached their
destination on land Mr.. Humans
nerves were on edge.
As the boat threaded its way grace
fully down the Otter Creek, which by
the way is that same stream that cost
the State Of Vermont several hundreds
Of dollars few years since TO keep
from being called Otter River, all were
much impressed with the beauty Of the
scenery through which we were pass
| ing, 1t was also through historic
country we were travelling for on
those waters and through them Com
modore McDonough assembled his
fleet after being built at the head
waters and took them out on Lake
Champlain where he met and defeated
the navy Of Great Britain on those
waters. But as soon as old Fort Cas-
sin was passed and the party were on
the broad lake the chief pilot COM
menced to get busy. He was intent on
showing the party the beauties of the
lake at the sunset hour. We passed
"Grog Harbor," which is favorite
camping spot on the New York side
of the lake and was not named for the
member of the party as cruelty sug-
gested by the pilot. We passed in
rapid suggestion "Kimbal's Landing"
and Harris Bluff" which places are
known to frequenters Of that part of
the lake. As we drew near our des-
tination the familiar form Of Ned
0rvis was seen on the dock with boat
hook in hand ready to assist in the
landing, which was done very grace
fully as none Of the party had sea legs
On. 1t took but moment TO greet our
and pilot who showed us to the quar-
ters at "The Glenwood" which were to
De ours for the next few days.
As fishing was what the major por-
ton Of the party went for it was ar
ranged that Messrs. Harris and Har-
,our should have competent fisher
nan to take them out onto the lake
where the fish kept themselves. Ii
ooks would have caught fish Emory
would have had all the law
allows for he was fitted out in the
most approved manner, but after hav-
ng spent an entire morning at work
IN the rough waters he gave it up as
| bad job and let a professional fisher
nan do the rest OF the hard piscatorial
work. As the party was fishing party
md no fish were caught it is will TO
lose the tale here, except to say that
he days spent at this delightful little
esort were days of real enjoyment
nd all returned feeling that it is not
necessary to go long way from home
o find delightful, restful spots for
,assing away the tedium Of warm
ummer days.

TO CUT ALASKAN TIMBER
FOR U. S. RAILROAD
Engineering Commission Gets Permit
to Take 85 Million Feet from Chu-
gach National Forest.

Engineering Commission Gets Permit
to Take IS Million Feet from Chu.
gach National Forest.
Washington, July 26-The Alaskan
Engineering Commission, which is Ia
build the government railroad from
Seward on the Pacific Att miles To
Fairbanks in the interior, has received
a permit from the Forest Service to
cut IS million feet Of timber in the
Chugach National Forest for use in
constructing the new line. The permit
was issued by the District Forester at
Portland, Oregon, who has direct sup
ervision of the Alaskan forests, and is
in conformity with the Act Of March
4, last, which authorized the Secretary
of Agriculture to permit the Alaskan
Engineering Commission and the
Navy Department to take from the
national forests free of charge earth,
stone, and timer for use in government
works. The timber will be cut in des-
ignated areas along the right of way
of the proposed railroad, which runs
through the Chugach National Forest
for several miles.
Experiments and tests of Alaskan
spruce and hemlock are being made at
the Forest Service laboratory at Sc
attic, Washington, and so far have
substantiated the opinion of foresters
that Alaskan timber is sufficiently
strong for practically all structural
purposes. While these tests are going
on Forest Service employees in Alaska
are marking the timber to be cut along
tn proposed railroad, the cutting to be
done SO that only mature trees are
taken, the young trees being left un-
injured and the condition Of the forest
improved.
This cut of IS million feet will be
The largest amount of timber ever fell
I'd on the Alaskan forests in one oper-
alton, and at the average rate per
board feet obtained for tim
,er sold from the Chugach Forest dur
ng the fiscal year 1914, it is worth |
approximately $145,000 on the stump.
t will be nearly twice as much as the
otal quantity of national forest tim
'er now cut and used annually for
ocal purposes throughout Alaska, but
My a little more than one-tenth of
he estimated annual growth Of the
Alaskan forests, The two national
orests of Alaska contain about 78 bill
on feet Of merchantable timber and it
estimated by the Forest Service that
lore than 800 million feet could be cut
very year forever without lessening
ne forests productivity.

some children, but an investigation
discovered Judge Swinnerton on the
floor.
The Stearns ambulance was sum-
moned and the judge was rushed to
the Rutland Hospital, where he was
attended by Drs. E. NJ. Pond, S. W.
