Because of the bent axle, Mr.. Pease
was unable to control his car and it
finally stopped with two wheels on the
inside of the tracks of the Rutland Rail
way, Light and Power company, which
at this point are on the east side of the
highway. Mr.. Pease attempted to get
the number of the touring car which
struck him, but the operator immediate
ly threw off his lights and hurried on in
the direction of the lake. Mr.. Pease re-
ported the matter to States Attorney |

The bartender on duty at the time, by
the sheriff of Orange county, who was
accompanied by Deputy Sheriff George
A. Tracy of Chelsea, and Deputy Sheriff
Leon M NJ. McAllister of Williams
town, these two men also being from
Orange county.
The first inkling of trouble in the air
arose after one of the deputies had pur-
chased drink of gin and began grinning
at the bartender. The bottle was then
seized by the sheriff. This evidence in
hand, the next step was to read the
warrant, which was also done by the
sheriff. After this formality the barten-
der was placed under arrest, and Sheriff
Allen was sent for.
Deputy Sheriff Tracy hurried to the
county Jail to get the sheriff of Chit
tenden county, but ne was informed
that the sheriff was at his home in Es-
sex Junction. Deputy Sheriff Tracy then
called the sheriff on the phone, and that
official came to this city Immediately.
Once at the hotel, the bartender was
turned over to the sheriff's custody. The
man under arrest then called for bonds

with Allen Martin, states attorney, the
prisoner was released under $500 bail for

After his release from the sheriff's
custody, Mr.. Dunn ir-mediately closed
the barroom door leading to the lobby
of the hotel, no more hard or soft drinks
being sold during the remainder of The
day. The hotel dining room was filled
at the time with guests, many of whom,

BARRE GOLFER Won
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
William Johnston of Barre Golf Club
Defeated Everett I. Soule of Bur-
lington and Landed First State
Victory for Barre.

William Johnston of ~ Blackwell
street is the first Barre man TO capture
the Vermont state golf championship
having won the title after some splendid
playing in the state tournament held on
| the links of the Waubanakee Golf club
in Burlington last week and eliminating
Saturday afternoon. Johnston met and
defeated some of the best players en-
tered in the competition, ending by put
ting Everett /. Soule of the Waubanakee
club, 7 up and 5 to go, after very
hard contest. The first half of the
match closed with Johnston only one up,
and it was not until the play was re-
sumed in the afternoon that the Barre
mans superiority convincingly demon
strated itself
Throughout the whole competition of
the week Johnston played true to form
and gave a good demonstration of the
prowess which has been winning him To-
cal repute as a member of the Barre
Golf club. Johnston has been coming
along fast during the last few seasons
and has been rated as No. | man of the
Barre club. So his victory in the state
competition is but the continuation of
development in the golfng game and,
incidentally, it is a popular victory
wherever the young man is known.
While not on the golf links Johnston
is tracing accurate lines and measure
ments in his occupation of craftsman,
and it may be that his eye for accuracy
in that profession has served him well in
shaping the course of the golf ball. 9th
er odd times Johnston is playing baseball
for the love of the game, having been
the guardian of the "hot corner" for the
Barre A. G.. and the Italian A. C. and |
no small amount of ability in |
that sport.
The winners of the other tournament |
at Burlington were as follows:
Losing eight, first sixteen, Spaulding,
beat Hutchinson, Barre, six |
up and four to play; winning eight, sec
md sixteen, Leslie, Montpelier, won
from Englesby, Waubanakee, up; los
ng eight, second sixteen, Lamb, Wau-
oanakee, wone from Mcmillan, Barre,
up and to play.
The handicap match resulted in George
Morse, Rutland, turning in the best gross
core, which was 81, A. g. Mansur, Wau-
had the best net score, ll7-40-
