Man Who Has Been Newspaper Reporter or Policeman
ALL MILLS LOSE GOODS
Petty Pilferng Hits all to Some
Extent.


In connection with the stealing of
goods from the Bottum G. Torrance
factory it is now believed that the pill
fering has been going ON for years in
a small way and that some of the
goods have been peddled out locally to
people who would be much surprised
to be charged with receiving stolen
goods
One local mill man told a Banner re-
porter last night that practically all
mills suffer from this sort OF petty
stealing to a greater or less extent
People who buy mill products except
through the mill Office should make
certain that the goods have not been
stolen by some one who has access to
the mill.
In the case at the Bottum & Tor
rance factory it Is now believed that
Vault was the principal offender.
Clark is thought to have taken things
only when he was intoxicated and car
rled them to his boarding place at
Fred Kendal's.
Mrs Kendall supposed that the
things were stolen and urged him to
take them back and failing to induce
him to do so planned to take them
back herself, but did not quite get her
courage up to the point Of doing so be-
fore the case was discovered.

N0RTHF|FLD FIRE
ONE WOMAN DEAD
HOTEL BURNED
Other Guests of House Escaped in
Night Clothes
HOTEL COMPLETELY DESTROYED
Loss of $4,000 on Hotel While the
Judkins Block Was Badly
Damaged.

Northfeld, Oct. 24.-Mrs. Emma
Benjamin of Boston, was burned to
death and property valued at more
than $40 900 was destroyed by fire
which was discovered about o'clock
this morning in the Mortified house,
the blaze being stopped in the Judkins
block adjoining the hotel. 1t was ru-
mored this morning that man was al
so missing, but he was later found in
Montpelier Gallant work by the vol
unteer fire department aided by
heavy water pressure saved the North
field Savings bank block.
Larry Burns was rescued from per
ilous position by the firemen. AS
he was attempting to go through
window the sash fell on his hands and
he was suspended in the air until the
fremen could place ladder and re-
moved him.
The fire apparently started in the
kitchen, although the cause is not
know. The wooden hotel, three stor-
les in height, was built many years
ago and the flames spread with great
rapidity. the whole interior appearing
to be ablaze when the firemen ar
rived.
There were about 80 persons in the
building at the time and it was at first
reported that several of these were
missing. The body of Mrs. BENJAMIN,
who had a room on the third floor,
was found in the iron work of her bed
in the cellar. 1t is thought she suffo-
Gated.
Mrs Benjamin's home was in Bos-
ton. but she came to Mortified last
spring to visit, stopping at the hotel.
She lived with daughter near Bos.
ton, who is the wife of a Harvard pro-
fessor. She was sister of James and
Henry Clough of Northfield.
Practically all of the persons in the
building were obliged to leave in their
night clothing, the temperature being
below the freezing point, but they
were soon cared for at nearby stores.
The loss on the hotel is placed at
$4,000 while that on the Judkins
block will probably reach $4,000.
Property valued at s150,O00 was en-
dangered including State Tax Com
missioner Plumley's office. The rec
ords OF this and the bank were moved
out but the fire department put out
the fire before it crossed the hallway
in the Judkins block. The loss is
partly covered by insurance.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Charges that
Carranza is preparing to leave Mexi-

are based upon his decision to leave
Mexico city for Queretaro, and the
fact that Mrs CaTranza already has
