OF STEALING
Lumherjack from Waterbury, Vt
Is Caught With the Goods
ARRESTED IN NORTH ADAMS
Charged with Breaking Into Lunch
Wagon and With Theft from
shaftsbury Farmer. II

Officers Brazil and Hurley made a
trip to North Adams last night and
were accompanied on their return by
George Maloney against whom two
charges of thieving are preferred.
The first Of the alleged offences was
committed about 4 o'clock Thursday
morning when the lunch wagon on
South street sggas broken into and a
sweater belonging to the proprietor,
+. w. Corbett, was stolen. A check
with Mr.. Corbetts Endorsement was
also taken Both check and sweater
are alleged to have been found in Ma
loney's possession, the check having
been concealed between his two
shirts
1t is presumed that Maloney, who
says his home is in Waterbury, VT.
left Bennington ON Thursday with the
intention Of seeking a job in the lum
Der camps but while on his way he
hired out to work for Roilin Mattison,
a SALISBURY farmer. MIR. Mattison
yesterday LETT home for the purpose
of getting saw filed and upon his re-
turn the hired man was missing. 4
gold watch belonging to Mr. Matti-
sons son had disappeared as had also
q pair OF Mr., Mattison's shoes. The
shoes and the watch are alleged to
have been found upon Maloneys per
son when he was searched in North
Adams.
When the theft was discovered Mr..
Mattison came 70 Remington and
gave information to the officers Ma
loney was traced TO North ADAMS
where every possible assistance look
ing to his arrest was accorded He
was finally run down by Capt Jones
and officer William .Scully of the
North Adams police force and turned
over to the Bennington officials

where the road to be built is of much
Importance to through traffic and of
relatively little Importance to the
town. For example. in 1914, the
State apportioned nearly 5000 from
the surplus fund to the town of Sears
burg for the extension of the work
in that town on the Bennington Brat
tleboro route.
Bridge Construction
The small appropriation made for
bridge work $4,000 annually places
narrow restriction on the proper
tion of the cost OF bridge construction
that the State can bear and no fund
was available for paying any part
OF the cost until 1915. For several
years the State has furnished engin.
eering services to towns requesting
such assistance by paying the salary
of an engineer to give advice III re-
gard to location and plans of construc-
ton or repairs and to supervise the
work. This is an important feature
OF the road work as the increasing
amount of traffic and weight of loads
is making the bridge problem more
serious year by year. Bridge build
ing is highly technical operation
and engineering advice is necessary
in order to secure safe structures on
the one hand and to avoid unneces-
sarily expensive work on the other.
In 1914 up to October 1st, 90 towns
in the State received free egineering
services on bridge work In 1916
three bridges in Bennington County
were built With funds furnished in
part by the State
AS in maintenance work. the State
supervises all construction toward
which 1t contributes funds. The
County Supervisor is the representa-
tive of the State Commissioner in the
administration of the road work with
in the County, laying out, planning
and supervising the work, and all
work must be approved by him.

ACQUIRING A FARM. .

Farmer Has Achieved Success.
The question is frequently raised as
TO whether under present conditions it
is possible FOR Il young man with no
capital bat health and industry TO ac-
quirc farm OF his own, says the Farm
and Flrcside In Washington county.

farmer, whose experience should be an

But his real name isn't Blank. -
This young farmer. leaving home and
parents. came to this country from
sweden at seventeen Years of age. For
nine years he worked as farm hand
for the best farmers In the country.
Practically all OF the nine years were
spent In the employ of two farmers.
After nine years of apprenticeship as
= f. hand he had saved sufficient
noney SO that he was aide to buy a
sniall farm equipment and rent a
farm. As With many other young
farmers, the time Of changing from
hired man to tenant was that of his
marriage.
After three Years he bought for $1,000
fhc 100 acre place which he was then
farming d. "a tenant. Since buying the
original place he has bought another
forty acres. Now he owns 160 acres,

coo, and equipment, in tho way of
live stock feed and machinery, worth

on the farm. Deducting this leaves
the young farmer worth So 400.
During the year Of 1914 this farmer
made $3.50 as his labor income. In
other words, he had Si,250 for his own
work above farm expenses and per
