Attempted Night tclhey Between
Rutland and Woodstock
DRIvEB PUT ON MORE SPEED
Secretary Davis of State Fair Assoc
iation and Party Have Ex-
citing Exerience.

White River Junction, Sept /
Three unknown highwaymen armed
with reyolvers in a lonely spot near
the height of the Green Mountain
range between here and Rutland to-
night made an unsuccessful attempt
at holding up an automobile party
consisting of the secretary Of the state
fair association, Fred L. Davis, Mrs.
Davis, Leslie L. Perkins, a we'll
known hide and wool buyer os his
place, and Mrs, Perkins. The fact
that the Perkins car was travelling at
good rate of speed doubtless pre-
vented the party from being robbed.
The party travelling in MIR. Perkins
big touring car had been attending
the Middlebmy fair and was return
ing to White River Junctior by way
Of Rutland and the car was app, oach-
ing dark spot in the highway about
a mile and a half west OF the top OF
the mountain about s o'clock when
three men were seen in the glare Of
the machines headlights.
Two Of the men jumped to places
at each side OF the road while the
third stepped to the middle of the
highway, All three flourished reyoly-
ors and as the car came rushing to-
ward them commanded the driver to
stof
With presence OF mind Mr.. Perkins
let out the speed Of his machine and
as the car swept by the highwaymen
one of them struck at the machine hit
ing Mrs. Davis on the arm.
Mr. Perkins Kept his machine going
at a rapid rate until he met an autoist
from Qucchee, MIR. ellison, who was
going west over the route travelled
by the Perkins party ellison was
stopped and informed of what had
happened He suddenly changed his
mind about taking chances and re-
turned to Quechee Two other auto
lists met by the Perkins party were
induced to give up the trip toward
Rutland
So suddenly did the Perkins ma
chine come upon the men it was i'm.
possible for Mr. Perkins Or Mr.. Davis
to give any description OF the high
waymen.
1t is believed here that the would
be robbers had an idea that Mr.. Perk-
ins and his guest. Mr. Davis, would
naturally be well supplied with funds
while attending the Middlebury fair
Tho spot where the attempted hold
up was made is not near any house
and is in a locality which affords ey-
cry opportunity for highway robbery
and for robbers to make their escape

Certainly Mighty Exceptional Family Tree That Has No Monkeys
FIVE YEARS A SEXTON
Wallace q. Cutting Gwen Reception
in Baptist Church Last Night

A representative gathering of Bap-
tist people met in the First Baptist
church last evening to give recogni-
ton to the twenty-five years of faith
full service rendered by Wallace b.
Cutting as iantor The sentiment of
those present seemed to be that Mr..
Cutting. because of his interest in
the church and the long period he has
served it, deserved some such recog-
milton,
A large table filled with bouquets
OF flowers and good things to eat
stood in the center of the lecture
room, while those present sat around
the sides. Miss Kathryn Burt, Miss
Julia Loomis and Miss Helen Cutting
entertained the gathering with piano
sofas and duets. Mrs. Helena Downs
sang two solos, the second in re-
sponse to hearty encore. Miss Maud
Harris and Miss Margaret Pilling
read appropriate and humorous sell
ections. Brief remarks were made by
the pastor testifying TO the value Of
Mr.. Cuttings service and character
And as d climax to the occasion,
Deacon Asa F. Loomis touchingly pre-
sented to the guest of honor five five
dollar gold pieces, symbolical of the
twenty-five years of service In his
response Mr.. Cutting maintained
his reputation as a man Of few words,
but of deep appreciation and graft
tudc,
The occasion ended pleasantly with
a social hour during which the young
ladies of the church served refresh
ments.

THOMAS NEW MAN
TAKES OWN LIFE
BY HANGING
Body Found Near Lake Paran Ear
Iy This Forenoon
MANY YEARS AN ENGINEER
Act Believed to Be Cue to Worry
Over Health of Brother With
Whom He Lived.

This morning at $50 one of the
SECTION men on the Rutland railroad
found the body of Thomas Newman
Of North Bennington hanging from a
tree oyerhanging Lake Paran. The
proper authorities were Immediately
notified and the body removed by DR..
T.. A. Tobin OF North Bennington and
Health Officer j. NJ Ayres and Sci
ectman j. O. Burt of Bennington. The
tragedy probably took place some
time in the evening Wednesday as
the doctor said that the man had
been dead for fully twelve hours.
Mr. Newman had lived in North
Bennington nearly all of his life and
was one Of the pioneer engineers on
the Rutland railroad. He also
served the entire four years of the
Civil War IN one of the Vermont reg
iments. Mr.. Newman retired sever
al years ago and has resided with his
brother, Richard. in North Benning-
tom who recently returned from the
Marshall lnfrmary in Troy where he
underwent treatment for his nerves.
The continual worry over the uncer-
tainty of his brothers health, in all
probability, brought on the melan-
choia which resulted in Mr.. New
mans death. He is also survived
by a brother John, who resides in
Hoosick Falls.
Mr.. Newman was the oldest of
three brothers, being 76 years of age.
1t is a rather remarkable thing that
he succeeded In hts attempt upon his
life as the rope which was used was
nothing more than sheep twine and
was already ragged and frayed. The
body was found hanging upon q
small branch stretching out from one
OF the willows which surround the
pond in that section, a branch so
small that IL seemed impossible that
ir would hold such weight as was
destined for it

London, Sept 1.-The minor fort
ress of Lutsk, which with those Of
Dubno and Rowo forms fortified
triangle on Russian territory, just
north OF the Galician frontier, was
captured by the Austrians today, ac-
cording to the official report from
Vienna 1t is in this direction that
the Austro-Gorman offensive has been
the most aggressive during the last
few days, the object being to separ-
ate the Russian army retreating
through the pripet marshes from that
operating in Galicia, which yesterday
inflicted so The Russians claim, Il
rather severe defeat on the Austro-
Germans.
The capture OF Lutsk, however, is
likely to compel the Russians, despite
their victory, to evacuate that part
of Calicia still held by them; other
wise their flank there would he Sc
rlously threatened.
Among the rest OF the front, except
in the centre, where the Austro-Ger-
mans continue to make a slow ad-
vance the Russians appear to be hold
ing their own They have thus far
prevented the Germans from cross
