Heavy Rains Causes Damage.

Nearly three inches of rain which fell
in Brattleboro Wednesday caused the
tributaries of the Connecticut to break
their bounds and the rushing water did
considerable damage.
Milestone brook tore away some of
the foundations of an old building on
Elliott street, owned by F. A. Larrow
and used as a storehouse by the Dewitt
Grocery Co. and let a portion of the
first floor down, spiling several hundred
dollars worth of goods into the water.
j. E. Bushnell, who was looking out Of
window on that floor, narrowly es-
caded from being carried down. Trolley
service to West Brattleboro was stopped
when the Bonnyvale brook rushed up
over the highway and flooded the track
so deep that cars could not be operated
The Connecticut is rising steadily
with all of the flood gates at the Vernon
dam open and the fashboards taken off.
A washout on the Boston & Maine
near Bernardston, Mass, held up the
train due in Brattleboro at 5:52 several
hours.

Cows in Novel Battle.

a COW belonging to Roy Francis of
Mendon, which evidently comes from
fighting strain, wandered from the
pasture Tuesday and entered the en-
closure of Frank E. Alexander and i'm
mediately disputed the right of the
grounds with two ear-old heifer.
During the struggle the heifer's head
became wedged between the horns of
the intruder and there it remained
until Wednesday. The owners of the
animals searched for them until dark
Tuesday evening and when Mr.. Alex
ander found them Wednesday morning
their.heads were still locked together
and the grass was trampled, showing
that the struggle had continued for
many hours.
Mr. Alexander found it necessary to
saw off one of the Francis cows horns
before the. animals could be separated.

FREE POULTRY FROM VERMIN
Lousy Chicks or Turkeys Are More
Apt to Be Affected With Gapes
or Some Other AiIment.

Chicks are growing fast these days
and lice are also making rapid growth.
The most essential thing at this sea-
son is to keep young poultry free from
lice. They cannot thrive with vermin
sapping their strength, and lousy
chicks or turkeys are more likely to
be affected with gapes, or some other
ailment
In looking for lice examine the lit
tie wings and around the vent. Be-
tween the long wing feathers of the
little Leghorn chick or young turkey
is favorite hiding place for lice where
they sap the life from the little birds
until they haven't enough strength to
hold up their wings. For head lice
on chicks, or the ticks that prey on
young turkeys look upon the neck,
pushing back the feathers carefully
until you reach the top of the head.
A little pure lard or sweet oil on the
head, neck and wings and around the
vent may be used to advantage, but
too much will kin the lice and chicks
both.
One can make his own insect powder
after the following recipe: One pint
of gasoline; two-thirds of a pint of
crude carbolic acid, stir thoroughly in
to five pounds of fine road dust, let
dry for an hour and put in an air.
tight receptacle. This powder is
death to head and bc1y lice and harm
less to chicks and poults. Try to be
careful when using any insect powder
see that none gets in their eyes.
Dust the mother hen when you turn
her out in the morning. If this is
done at night the dust gets into the
eyes of the chicks and makes them
uncomfortable. Some say the powder
getting into the eyes will cause blind
ness.

Drowned in Strange Manner.

George BE- Golf of Buffalo, Wyo.,
whose wife was Vermont girl, Miss
Katherine Buxton of Middletown
Springs, was drowned last Sunday.
The accident occurred in the Nine
Mile country, when, with companion,
DR.. E. O. Cain of Kaychee, he was
caught with stranded automobile in
one of the gulches of that section at
an hour when the downpour of rain
was tremendous, augmented by cloud
burst to the west of them which caused
the gulch to be flooded with about Is
feet of water. DR., Cain and Mr.. Golf
were travelling from Buffalo to Sussex,
a distance of about so miles, when the
engine of the machine was killed" ap-
parently. While inspecting the mocha
nism rain and hail began to fall. The
car refused to start and as the water
gradually flooded the valley the wheels
became imbedded in the mud.
Leaving the automobile Dr. Cain
hurried TO the bank of the nearby river
where he found safety but in doing so
noticed tremendous wall of water
fast approaching. Shouting warning
to his companion, who had also seen
the onrushing torrent, and was cling
ing with death-Iike grip to the top of
the submerged car, DR.. Cain could
only keep his own place of shelter.
Tossed about by the raging waters, Mr..
Golf managed to swim about IS yards,
then losing his strength he sank. Be-
sides his widow, Mr.. Golf is survived
by many relatives in Massachusetts,.

prominent Everett Mass, lawyer
and politician, for $4,000 for failure to
marry. Brown formerly lived in Bel
lows Falls where he was more or less in
the public eye.
The allegation filed by Mrs. Whitney's
lawyer, Wendall P. Murray, contains
four counts. The first alleges that
Brown agreed to marry her and broke
his promise; the second that although
Brown was married when Mrs. Whit
ney first met him, 10 years ago and had
been a married man all their acquaint-
ance, he falsely represented to her that
he had obtained divorce and post
poned their marriage with one excuse
and another until she learned that he
was married. The third allegation is
that Brown induced her to give up a
profitable dressmaking business, and
the fourth is seduction under promise
to marry.
The trial of Mr.. Browns suit last
April against Mrs. Whitney to recover
1919 attracted much attention. A YER
dict for Mrs. Whitney resulted and her
claim that the money was not loaned
her, but was given to her because of
their relationship of love, confidence,
and affection, seemed to be borne out
by letter introduced by her lawyer
and written to her by Mr.. Brown, in
which he signed himself Donkey"

the sea. Furthermore, the ships
are lending most valuable aid by
their thanking fire in assisting the
army to conduct its sweeping opera
tons up the peninsula. The subma-
rine scare in this theater of war
seems to have subsidized. Probably
the nets and the destroyer patrol
employed around the British Isles are
being used to good effect in defense
against submarines at the Darda-
nelles.
Following the failure of the Ger
mans, after their first few successes,
to make any impression upon the
British naval forces with their sub
marine fleet, Won Tirpitz turned saw
agely upon the defenseless merchant
ships, not merely of the enemy, but
of even the neutral nations them
selves. Under the positively ridicu-
lous pretense las the results have
shown that they were blockading
the British Isles, they commenced,
in contravention of all the rules of
warefare and every humanitarian
consideration, to sink defenseless
ships, and send men, women and
children ruthlessly to the bottom
this orgy of crime eliminating in
the sinking, without warning, of the
"Lusitania' with the loss of over
1000 souls, including over 100 Amer
leans.
But the German submarines are
not by any means having things their
own way, even in this attack on de-
fenseless ships. So far .as stopping
food and other importations into
Great Britain is concerned, they
have not sunk over two and one-half
per cent of the total tonnage of over
100000 of the British merchant
marine. Moreover, although the
fact is not publicly known, there has
been a terrible loss of German SUBJ
marines, due to methods of capture
and destruction which have been in
augurated since the war began. And
instead of the seven or eight report
ed by the British Admiralty, which
represents only those sunk by gun
fire, ramming, or other surface at
tack there is reason to believe that
between thirty-fve and forty of the
German submarines have been de-
stroyed or netted by the huge series
Of seining operations around the
British Isles. The German submarine
is blind below water, and it runs in
to a heavy steel net as helplessly as
a school of fish into seine net. True
it is that Germany is building SUBJ
marines at a great rate. But it is
questionable if she is building them
faster than she is losing them

July 4, Sunday, at $40 a. M, we were
sighted by the German submarine U-38
and chased for one and half hours,
until she overhauled US. She fired
about go four-inch shells at the boat
and she was hit about 48 times. The
captain and ten men were killed, eight
wounded, 81 horsemen were drowned,
and 26 horses were killed. On the
decks it was like slaughter house,

horses strewed all about. The life

hours and were picked up by a British
torpedo destroyer and taken to Queen
town. We were put on board the ship
and stayed % hours until they patched
her up, then sailed for Avonmouth,

went out in the channel until the boat
was cleaned up little. We then came
here and will be here for two weeks
