Commission Here Just in Time.

While the sheriff was waiting for
further facts in regard to the battle
at Bristol a long distance call came
from the industrial commission at
Milwaukee. els this the sheriff - the
man started in and when he was in
formed that it was, he told Stahl that
the industrial commission wanted to
make an investigation of the ice bust
ness. "Will you go out with us?"
was the question from Milwaukee.
Quick as flash the sheriff shouted
back, "You bet your life I wont go
out with you This is the same old
gag. You fellows sit around and wait
until the ice harvest is over and then
you burn with a desire to investigate
conditions. Now ] am not going to
waste minute s time with you fell
lows. If you did go out and find out
conditions it would take you so long
to do anything that the men would rot
in the beds before you got action
With that Stahl hung up the phone,
but the first man to get off the train
which pulled in couple of hours
later was the representative of the in
dustrial commission. He looked up the
sheriff. "There it is, look for your
self'' was the comment of the sheriff
as the horde Of bruised and bleeding
derelicts piled in off the train and
started to lurch for the nearest saloon.
The commission man, who gave his
name as Breckeelee, took a look at
the men and waited around until he
got train for the west. He went
out alone as the sheriff was firm in his
decision to pay no attention to the
investigation. It is possible that in
due time the commission will make
some report on the matter, but this

ORWELL COW TESTING ASSO-
CATION.

The Orwell Cow Testing association
was organized Monday, October 80.
This is the fourth COW testing associa-
ton in the county, the other three being
the First Addison County Cow Testing
association, the Champlain Valley Cow
Testing association and the Green
Mountain Cow Testing association.
For some time the county agent as
sisted by T. H. Moran, assistant to the
commissioner of agriculture, has been
getting the farmers interested in organ
izing and signing up definite number
of cows for the work. At the present
time over 400 cows have been secured
all in the town of Orwell, and it seems
probable that the other l25 cows will
be secured in this town.
The officers of the association are as
follows: President, R. S. Hall; vice
president, j. C. Thomas; secretary and
treasurer, A. c. Barnard. The officers
with w. A. Jennings and L. W. Cults
comprise the board of directors. Active
work will be started March l, 1917.

For some time past it has been
rumored that a kind of whiskey
was being distilled near the Gil
mer and BraXton line on Frozen
Kun, and sold to the workmen on
the big stave-mills of the Inter
state Cooperage Co. in that vicin-
lty. Federal officials have been
quietly investigating and Thurs
day a raid was made by Col. r. +.
Hays, special revenue officer.
assisted by Harold Marshall. Of
this place, and Terrell Altizer. of
Arnoldsburg. Wiley Marks and
Sarah Reed were arrested and
brought to the Jail here. A small
still made from an old tea-kettle
with a shotgun Darrell for the
worm and about fifty gallons of
the joy-iuice. known as "Julep"
or Old Hem, were found and
destroyed. 1t is said by those
who have sampled the stuff that
nothing with a more powerful
jolt ever came out of gun bar
rell- shot or Rattling.
Marks is u native of this coun-
ty while the Reed woman halls
from the Tug Valley, Mcdowell
county. 1t is said that she first
brought the recipe for making

says she is Fl years old and is a
relative of Governor Hatfield.
The prisoners were taken to
