SUIT FOR $4,000
FOR CHILD'S DEATH
National Metal Edge Box Co. of Reads.
boro Defendant - Italian Child
Drowned in Firm S Canal.

Deputy United States Marshal Ed
ward S. Whitaker of Rutland was in
Readsboro yesterday and attached
property of the National Metal Edge
Box company of that place for $4,000
in suit instituted against the con
eern by Victor A. Agostini of North
Adams, Mass, administrator of the
estate of Livio Franceschetti, a five
year-old boy who was drowned in a
canal used in connection with the com
pany's power plant. The law firm OF
Holden & Healey of Bennington is
counsel for the plaintiff.
The papers allege that on March %
of this year young Franceschetti, whose
father was employed about the
box company IS plant, was walking
along a path beside the canal, which
was several feet deep, when he slipped
in and was drowned before any assist
ance came.
The plaintiff alleges that the canal
was dangerous III it's location with
reference to the path, which was used
as a highway for the Workmen, and
| that no proper warning of the possible
danger ever had been posted. The
ditch was an artificial one and it is
claimed the path along its brink had
| been used as such for many years.
| The case is returnable at the Oeto-
| Der term of United States court to be
| held in Rutland.

Arrested at NTiddlebury Fair.

MIDDLEBURY, Sept. 3.-In an at
temept to throw New York state of
iicers off their trail Leo McGeary and
Chet McGeary, both of Mineville, n.

terday, but soon after they mingled in
the throng on the fair grounds were ar
rested on the charge of stealing 1lG
automobile tires from the garage Of
Z. II. Kingsley in Whitehall, y. Y,
Wednesday. The men confessed their
guilt and were taken to the Addison
county jail to await the arrival of
New York state officers.
Shortly after noon Chief of Police
George w. Chaffee received word from
Mineville saying that the men were
wanted for the theft ut Whitehall.
About an hour later Chief Chaffee and
Special Officer Avery Call spotted the
men and placed the alleged thieves un-
der arrest.
The men, apparently brothers, made
no attempt to deny connection with
the robbery of the Whitehall garage
and expressed willingness to return
to New York state without extradition
proceedings Notwithstanding that the
charge against the pair constitutes
| grand larceny.
1t is thought that the men intended
to dispose Of their alleged booty by
selling to autoists on the fair grounds
| 1t is not believed that the men are
in any way connected with the worl
Of the recent Massachusetts gang O
automobile thieves which operated il
| Vermont and which stole two ears from

TURN HAIR DARK
With sage TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur 1t DarkenS
So Naturally Nobody Can Tell.

The old-time mixture Of Sag Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's treat
ment, and folks are again using it 10
keep their hair a good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are liv-
ing in an age when a youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" for about so cents a bottle.
1t is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten ,rour comb or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications it also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive,
besides, prevents dandruff, itching
scalp and falling hair. Hooks Phar-
