To the linemen 1t has ceased to be
a miracle that man in the perils of
the wilderness may cling buffeted to
a pole and chat with men sitting warm
and safe a hundred miles or more
away, taking his instructions as the
problems arise. getting word to cheer
his lonely trail.
Perhaps the most unusual incident
of this sort is told by the Post-Intel-
ligencer as occurring few years ago
to a telephone lineman in the Cas-
cades. Connecting break In the line
he was working just beneath a trem-
bling avalanche. Without warning the
snow slid upon 1t. It might have been
his own voice or the shrillness Of his
whistle that disturbed the mountains

er than the swapping of twig. What
ever it was caused the slide; in a sec
ond's time the lineman was buried.
When he dug his way out of the drift
he saw at a glance that his trail to
safety had been swept away.
So delicately was the snow poised
above an abyss that he dared not
cross it. But by some miracle the
line remained unbroken and q few
feet of the cole yet protruded from
the drifts.
Rescued From Avalanche.
The lineman did the only thing pos
sible-climbed the pole and cut in his
portable telephone. He reported his
plight and settled down to wait for
help. Throughout the long day. while
the storm ragged about him. he talked
to the operators in the towns. II
needed all q mans courage and en-
durance to cling TO that pole and wait

it, and fewer still could have done II

voices that came to him across the

Not far from $50 persons attended

nesday evening, which was the largest
attendance at rollcali since Rev. ID.
E. Trout became pastor nine years ago.
An excellent supper was served at
615, and an orchestra played during
the supper hour. At the head table
was the speaker of the evening, Rev,
Albert Hammatt of Springfield, Mass,
formerly pastor in Bellows Falls, Rev.
and Mrs. E. Q. S. Osgood of the Uni
Trout and daughter and the deacons
and wives and officers of the Universal

marks relative to his pastorate of nine
years, giving some statistics concern
ing the church membership. Rev. Mr.

past two years.
Then followed the calling of one half

standing and answering to his or hei

the speaker, Rev. Albert Hammatt
whose subject was The Challenge OF
Christ. The challenge, he said, is first
to the individual to magnify one S life
and not to minimize its influence. The
challenge is not merely to the individ
ual, but to the body corporate, to bring
social as well as individual justice. De
mocracy that is not founded on a higl
type of morality and righteousness;
counts for but little in the long run
The speaker gave several illustrations
from the business and commercial

and impressive manner.

BANK CASE NEAR END
Judge Hand to Deliver Charge to
Jury This Forenoon
Mr.. Averill Testified He Made No At.
tempt to Deceive Officials-Bank' s
Method Fully Probed.

AT nine O'Clock this morning Judge
Augustus p. Hand of New York, who
is presiding at the trial of the case OF
the United States against George G
Averill of Brattleboro in the United
States court in Burlington, will de
liver his charge to the jury, at the
conclusion of which he will turn The
case over to them for decision.
Mr.. Averill who formerly was presi
dent of the Vermont National bank OF
Brattleboro and who was asked to re
sign following a report of Bank Elk
aminer j. II. Kclleher of Burlington
to the comptroller of the currency, il
charged with making entries on the
bank books with intent to deceive, il
violation of a federal statute, fol
which the prescribed penalty upor
conviction is five years Imprisonment
in the federal prison at Atlanta.
The defense, while admitting some
errors, fatty denied any intent to de
ceive, claiming that the entries upor
which the indictment was found were
made in the usual course of the bank (
method of bookkeeping. 1t is moi
charged that any of the funds of the
bank were taken.
Arguments of counsel were made
yesterday, each side being allowed three
hours. Q. Z. Cowles opened for the
government, and was followed by c. G
Fits for the defense. V. A. Bullard
district attorney, and R. E. Brown OF
Burlington made the closing arguments
Many spectators were present.
1t was brought out in Thursday s
testimony that many credits had been
made to the Shawmut and Concord
banks one day only to be reversed the
next, and no checks had been sent on
to the banks. For example, on Dec. 2
1914, charge was made on the books
800, 300, which was reversed a day or
the Brattleboro bank.
Charles G. Staples, the present cashier
of the Vermont National bank, who was
teller under the presidency of George G..
Averill, and Wilfred Swindlehurst, book
keeper in the Shawmut National bank of
Boston, testified Friday.
Important testimony was presented
by the prosecution Saturday. James
II. Kelliher, United States Bank
examiner, was on the stand all
the forenoon and had not finished
when adjournment was taken until
Monday.
Mr.. Kelliher said he examined the
Vermont National bank July Q, 1913,
and July 16, 1914, both times finding
its condition all right. When he APP
peared to make an examination March
81, 1915, he had to wait several hours,
until Mr.. Avcrll arrived, before he
could get at the vault, neither the teller
nor the cashier having the combination.
At this time the figures on the teller s
cash book tailed with those on the
general ledger at the close of business
March 30. Further examination, how
ever, brought to light a discrepancy be-
tween the cash item entries. Mr.. Kelli-
