But France has been speeded up since

and good one. The cone will "follow

FINED FOR ILLEGAL TRAPPING.
Dexter Kathan Of Putney Pleads Guilty
i'll Municipal Court-Pays So Each
for Is Skins, Also Costs.

Dexter Kathan. Is, son of Warner
Kathan of Putney. pleaded guilty to a
charge of trapping and killing fur bear
ing animals out of season when ar
raigned before Judge A. Il. Cudworth
in the municipal court Monday and
was ordered to pay a fine of 80 and
costs of $6.ll. Previous to this action,
which was brought by State S Attor-
ney w. r. Daley, the Young man APP
pearcd as claimant for numerous skins
and traps which were seized during IA
raid by Chief of Police George Wilson
and County Fish and Game Warden
f. II. Mctcalf last Friday. In this case
the property, excepting traps and
stretching boards, was cOnfiscated in
the name of the state and turned over
to the authorities for disposition. In
asmuch as the traps were not set they
were returned to Kathan. Kathan s
father was in court, but action against
him was dropped upon suggestion of
the state. On the search and seizure
proceedings Kathan was assessed the
costs, which amounted to $l4. This
raised the total which he was obliged
to pay to $95.ll.
When the raid was made at the
kathan place in Putney the officers
seized 10 skunk skins, two fox skins
one raccoon skin, two muskrat skins
one skunk carcass, one pail of skunk
fat, Is stretchers and 50 traps.
In pronouncing sentence Judge Cud
worth stated that each animal taker
comprised separate ofiense and the
law provided So fine on each, there be
ing ID skins. Warden Metcalf stated
to the court that his information led
him to believe Kathan to have started
this kind of work on an extensive scale
and that it was not the first time. He
said that his idea was to put a stop to
this early trapping.

ROOSEVELT LOST EYE BOXING.
Says Accident Took Place While He
Was in the White House-Reducing
Weight Rapidly.

Elk President Roosevelt ON Sunday
disclosed for the first time publicity
that the vision of one of his eyes was
destroyed during boxing exercises at
Washington with young captain of ar
tillery on his staff while he was presi-
dent.
Weighing 202 pounds and with a
grth of 40 "a inches, Col. Roosevelt
received newspaper representatives at
Jack Cooper s farm in Stamford, Conn.
When he began his course of treat
ment at the farm on Oct. he weighed
ZIG pounds and his waist line meas
ured 46 inches.
He posed Sunday for the camera
men with William Warren Barbour,
Princeton graduate and New York club
man. who, some years ago, won the
amateur heavyweight boxing champion
ship of America; Mayor J John p. Mitch
ell of New York; A. McAfee, a million
aire copper dealer and William Zeigler.
the millionaire baking powder man.
Charley White, the famous prize-ring
referee, declined Col Roosevelt s invi-
tation to enter the group.
Coz. Roosevelt then started on a cir
cult of the half-mile track, through
cabbage patches along the borders of
a lake, and hit up so fast pace that
Mayor Mitchell turned back before half
the circuit had been made. Roosevelt
covered the distance in 10 minutes
A large crowd of Stamford people
who had learned of the session with
the newspapermen were on hand, in
GLIDING Mayor Treat.
The colonel said he intended to make
some campaign speeches for Mayor
Mitchell.
He said he had been anxious to have
Barbour meet Jack Johnson in the prize
ring, and that he would have bet all
he could afford on Barbour to win. At
this point in the talk he made his dec
laration about the loss of the sight of
one of his eyes.

LOCAL SHORTAGE OF SUGAR.
Stores Have Only Few Barrels and
Wholesalers None-Only Few Pounds
Sold to Customer

Brattleboro faces a serious shortage
in sugar, in common with other com
munities, and there is no certainty as
to when relief will come. There are
only a few barrels in town at the
grocery stores, and not a pound is to
be had of either wholesale house, f..
Crosby & Co., and the Dewitt Grocery
Co. The grocers have found it neces-
sary to limit customers in order to
hold out as long as possible. f. Crosby
4 Co. have five carloads ordered and
one carload is expected daily, but
there is no certainty as to when it will
come. When it does come the retailers
will be limited to one barrel each. The
Dewitt Grocery Co. has some ordered,
but there is no prospect that it will ar
rive within a month. A week ago the
Dewitt Co. had two carloads on hand
and could have sold it all in an hour,
but customers were limited to two bar
rels. Conditions similar to these exist
in Montpelier, Kccne, Greenfield, North
Adams, Springfield, and in fact about
everywhere.
No such conditions have been known
heretofore, and this is a time for peo-
pie to show their patriotism by not try
ing to load up with a big supply. For
persons to make the rounds of the
stores buying all they can get when
other persons are getting along with
small amounts in order to make the
supply last until more arrives puts
them in the Stacker class just as much
as though they were available for mil
itary duty and failed to respond to the
call.

FOLLOWING THE FLAG.
Slang, Cocktails, Ice Cream, and Gum
in the Procession.

The talk about the song, "Canning

cousins, has brought out number of
other thinks besides our slang that
"follow the flag" George AIDE once
had the cocktail "following the flag, 4"
but those were the old days. All that
is changed now. Instead of the cocktail,
it is the ice cream cone.
This American invention appeals
strongly to the French taste. 1t would,
perhaps, have made a path for itself in
France without the flag, for the French
Commissioners, when here, were loud
in their praises of the invention, which
was then unknown in any section of

Rutland Has 81 Bill Swindle.

Rutland has had its first swindlc
through the use of the new 81 bill
which has been the subject of much UNI
favorable comment because of its re-
semblance to the So note.
When the cashier at the PrOuse res
taurant counted her money Saturday
night she found that one of the I" five
dollar bills had printed upon it the
word "dollar' instead of "dollars,'
and close scrutiny showed that some
one had taken one of the unpopular
dollars, pasted over the figure l a $ cut
from tve-dollar note and successfully
passed the fake for bill of the high
or denomination.
The matter has been reported to the
police and stores have been notified
to look out for similar swindles.

BREAD RIOTS MORE LIKELY

SENATOR STERLING.

disposition by tonight of the prohi-

in the senate today, although a sharp
struggle was promised. Both the
"wets" and the ''drys" were lined up
for the contest.
Representative Sterling, of South
Dakota. added his voice to the coun-
Gil against beer and wines.
They talk of economic unrest if
we take away beer and light wines,
but | believe bread riots are more to
be feared than beer riots. Had il
not been for saloons, the disgraceful
genes at East st. Louis. Ill, would
never have occurred.
Following a parliamentary tangle
over precedence of various prohibi-
ton proposal the senate today voted,
55 to %, to sustain a ruling by Vice
President Marshall that before the
Gore and Robinson amendments
should first dispose of a bone dry
amendment by Senator Curtis, of
Kansas, virtually identical with thu
original house provision.
