AGED SIXTY SEVEN
AND NEVER SAW A
TROLLEY CAR
SALISBURY Woman Visits Genning-
ton for First Time in 40 Years
MRS. VAUGHh'S ODD JOURNEY
Settlement of Brothers Estate Takes
Her Out OF seclusion of Four
Decades.

Henrietta Vaughn. aged 67, who has
passed her entire life in the adjoining
town of SALISBURY and who is as Wig
orous in body and keen of mind as
many women on the sunny side of so,
heyer saw trolley car until last
Thursday when she came to Benning-
ton on business connected with the
settlement OF the estate of her recently
deceased brother, Jesse Vaughn. She
made the journey from North Ben
nington to this village by the vehicle
which the Chinaman said wen, without
"pushee or pullee" and didn't enjoy
the experience one little bit 1t was
all too much of an abrupt change from
the quiet of the hillside farm in Shafts
bury
1t was not only her first trolley ride
but il was her first visit to Bennington
in 40 years, Notwithstanding the fact
that she has passed her entire life with
in five miles of North Bennington viii
lage. She also said that during the
past four decades. until she left home
last Thursday she had not been out
side the limits of the town of Shafts
bury. Miss Vaughn and her brother
lived together on farm of over 200
acres which had descended to them
from their father, Heman Vaughn.
Following the brothers death few
days ago, one Of the neighbors, who
had gathered at the house. as neigh
bors in the rural districts OF Vermont
have been wont to gather In times of
trouble ever since the days of the ear
ly settlers, found among some litter an
cid pocketbook containing $50 gold
piece
News of the finding of the gold piece
| spread through the neighboThood and
like many rumOrs it increased in size
the further it travelled. In a short
time there was a well established sus-
picion that there must be more gold
| hidden about the place and with the
suspicion came the desire to assist in
the search for the concealed wealth.
George Robinson of SALISBURY, who
| has had large amount of experience
! in the settlement of estates involving
farm property. has been appointed ad-
ministrator of the estate and as pre-
| cautionary measure a custodian has
been temporarily placed in charge.
With the interest that has been awak-
ened in the neighborhood in the mat
| ter some one with no intention of do
ing anything out ofthe way could
easily complicate the settlement of the
estate and make no little trouble for
the rightful heirs. Because of this
possibility the probate court deemed
it wise to take all necessary steps to
guard the interests of the estate.

EDWARD J. euNsHANNoN DEAD
Heart Failure Claimed Local Man
Sunday Morning.

Edward j. Gunshannon, aged so
years, was found dying of heart
trouble by his sister Miss Bridget Gun
shannon on her return from church
Sunday morning about 10 o'clock. He
had grip about eight weeks ago from
which he partially recovered. He went
out too early and suffered relapse
which was instrumental in Fastening
his death.
He was born in Ireland and was
brought to this country by his parents,
MIR. and Mrs. Michael Gunshannon,
when four months old. When young
man he learned the trade of stone
mason and granite cutter which he fol-
lowed until an accident four years ago
compelled him to retire. He was trus-
tee from the third ward, for several
years.
He leaves a brother. Thomas Gun
shannon of Lakeville, Conn, and two
sisters, Miss Bridget Gunshannon with
whom the deceased made his home on
Park street, and Mrs. Mary Garrity of
Aver, Mass. Mr.. Gunshannon was a
respected citizen of the community.
and local people were shocked to learn
of his sudden death.
He was member Of the Knights of
Columbus who are to hold a special
meeting this evening to act upon his
death and appoint pall-bearers for the
funeral which is to be held at o'clock
Wednesday morning from ST. Francis
de Sales church

Collins M. Graves For Delegate.

The Free Press has taken the posi-
ton all along that no man should be
elected delegate to the republican
national convention who is not willing
to take the republicans of Vermont in
to his confidence and tell them where
he stands as to choice of candidate
for the presidency of the United
States. That is the type of man the
people of Vermont as whole believe
in That is the kind OF man the repub-
licans of Vermont need to represent
them in the national councils of the
party at this particular time, whether
the delegation is to support Hughes or
not.
Collins NJ. Graves is that kind of a
man, and we are pleased to be able to
add his name to the list of those who
believe Hughes would be able to bring
and make an aggressive and success
full contest for the triumph Of republl-
can principles in our land. If we re-
member correctly, Mr.. Graves was in
favor of the nomination Of Roosevelt
as opposed to Taft in the preliminary
campaign leading up to the Chicago
convention in 1912, but he supported
the republican ticket In the election.
The republicanism of Mr., Graves is
OF the Hughes type and he is there
fore in thorough sympathy with his
party throughout Vermont at the pres.
ent time. He would make an excel.
lent representative of the first con,
gressional district and is just the kind
OF young republican that the party
should push to the front in order to
keep in touch with the times and help
it retain its youthful energy along
with the ripe experience of years.
Bennington county is one of those
which had no representative on the
delegation to the republican national
convention in 1912. Indeed, thai
county has not had a delegate in
twelve years, and the rest of the dis
trict will undoubtedly concede recog
milton to 1t in this connection in 1916

had been dispersed the leaders in the

London, April l0.-The French have
evacuated the town of Bethincourt,
west of the Meuse river and north
west of Nerdun where the line made
a sharp salient to the north.
Following the withdrawal, which
was accomplished Saturday night
without difficulty, according to the
French official report, the Germans
made a furious attack on the new
French line, extending from Ayocourt
wood to Cummieres and across the
Meuse river, without success and with
heavy losses East OF the Meuse,
meanwhile. the French captured Ger
man trenches near Douaumont
No German report of the evacuation
of Bethincourt had been received last
night, but the official announcement
of the retirement and the subsequent
battle was made at Paris last evening.
A summary of the official report
sent from Paris follows: The French
evacuated the Bethincourt salient Sat.
urday night and the Germans today
attacked with great violence their
new line from Avocourt to Cumieres
but were repulsed with sanguinary
losses. Only at one point, northeast OF
Avocourt, did the Germans succeed in
entering the French trenches, and
from this position they were immedi.
ately elected through counterat

Earlier in the day the following
dispatch came from Paris: The cap
ture by French troops OF about l5C

OF Douaumont village, northeast OF
Verdun was announced by the wal
Office this afternoon. Progress in
communicating trenches south OF the
