PAIR OF BAY MARES
IAKENFROM BARN
IN ARLINGTON
E. B. Baldwin Searching for Two
Valuable Horses
TRAIL IS OBuIERATED BY RAIN
i Neighbor's House Entered by Persons
Who Evidently Were in Need Of
Something to Eat.
TRAIL IS OBuIERATFD BY RAIN

E. B. Baldwin, who lives on the main
road two miles south Of Arlington vii
lage, was in the village today endeavor-
ing to obtain trace OF two valuable
horses that we're stolen from his barn
some time during Thursday night.
The stolen horses are pair OF bay
mares that have not been much
worked, but have been used mostly as
drivers. One of the animals is 8 years
old and weighing about 1000 pounds.
There is a star In the forehead and
there is spot on one hip where the
hair has been taken Off The other
horse is dapple brown, eight years old,
weighing about 100 or better and
marked with white star in forehead.
Mr. Baldwin retired early Thursday
night. When he visited the barn about
o'clock this morning both horses
were missing So far as he could as
certain the thieves had taken nothing
but the horses No wagon of any
kind had been taken nor were the
brides or any parts OF the harness
missing. When put up for the night
one of the horses was hitched with a
head halter and the other with neck
halte..
Efforts this morning to track the
thieves failed to give any satisfactory
results, as the rain last night obliterat-
ed any trail that might have been left.
Mr. Baldwin went thoroughly over
the ground in the vicinity of his home
but without obtaining much Of clue.
From faint tracks beside the road he
concluded that the thieves must have
| started toward SALISBURY and Ben
nington. James p. Cullinan of Airing
ton, who was over the road at an early
hour in an automobile reported that
| he saw the tracks of two horses in the
road near SALISBURY station. From
the position of the tracks Mr.. Cullinan
believed that the horses were being
led.
One of the families living on the
Clarence L. Holden farm returned
home about midnight and were consid
erably alarmed to find that lights were
burning in the house which they had
left in darkness early in the evening
Upon investigating they found that the
house had been entered by one or more
persons who had prepared themselves
meal from canned preserves and
ether provisions. Other than quaint
ty of food nothing was taken from the
house.
| Mr.. Baldwin has telephoned to the
authorities at nearby towns in this
state, New York and Massachusetts
but as yet has obtained no information
that would lead to the recovery OF th'
stolen horses.

REAL ROMAN PUNCH
In Evidence at Rehearsals for Product
ion Of Julius Caesar

II may be asking too much of the
imagination TO see in Library hall
street In old Rome. But certain 1t Is
that the cheers of greeting to the popu-
lace and the ominous growlings and
mutterings accompanying Antony's
speech supplied by the people who re-
hearsed there Tuesday evening, gave
the necessary atmosphere. Mrs. Elliot
puts as much vim and energy into re-
hearsal, as leader Of the citizens, as
she bespeaks from them, and they
caught her spirit valiantly.
William Cushman, known in his ca
pacity OF first base hitherto only as a
baseball player. now qualities in this
same role as an actor. We are crate
full for the training which has made
him one OF our most valuable citizens I;
there is nothing the matter with his
lung.
If on night like Tuesday, when the
thermometer went out of sight. so
much enthusiasm and interest can be
created, II is proof positive that the
real Roman punch is not lacking in the

TRIAL TRIP OF AUTO
BUSES PROVED
ENJOYABLE
Cars Ride Comfortably and Make
Good Time
MUCH INTEREST EN- ROUTE
Residents of Northern Towns Show
Appreciation of Service New Line
viii Provide,

Stockholders OF the Bennington and
Dorset Bus line who accompanied the
cars on the trial trip Thursday after
noon were much encouraged by the
interest displayed by the residents all
along the line. On the journey north
ward the busses stopped az a number
of points and on all Of these occasions
people gathered about the cars and
made numerous inquiries, particularly
in relation to the schedule. The fea-
ture of the new business that APPEARED
to be particularly pleasing vas the fact
that the busses would make four trips
a day, thus affording an opportunity
for a long or short stay in the towns
at the end of the line or at intervening
points. There were numerous inquir-
les for time cards which were
promised as soon as it was determined
what kind of schedule could be
maintained.
At South Salisbury, Arlington,
Manchester, Manchester Center and
Dorset the busses attracted consider
able attention and every expression of
opinion was encouraging. Every one
who had anything at all to say seemed
confident that the line would be largely
patronized both for business and pleas
ure. a considerable stop was made at
Dorset where the party was especially
impressed with the interest manifest
ed in the venture and the qualification
of the people over the cOIvenierces
that they would derive from the bus
line.
The trip was made primarily for the
purpose OF establishing schedule and
| to take one of the cars TO the Dorset
terminal ready for the return trip this
| morning. On the northbound trip DO
effort was made to keep track o.! the
| running time because OF the frequent
stops but when returning but one
| stop was made, at Arlington. and the
running time was just one hour and 40
minutes. These figures justified the
estimation of the management that
the trips between Bennington and
\ Dorset could be made in two hours
with an allowance to pick up the trai
| flc.
The stockholders, who made the trial
| trip, Earl w. Williams, Henry d. Fill

bus to Dorset and returned in The
other. At Arlington James p, Cullinar
OF the Arlington garage joined the
party. All found the cars much more
comfortable than they expected. II

cars are only recently out of the fac
tory both trips were made with a!
much comfort as could have been sc
cured in many touring cars. Th'
busses are equipped with pneumatic

springs and upholstery disappear

will be available.
