oNE-sIDED HEARING
Friends of Railroad Extension Were
Not Notified


1t appears that the bill having to
do with the proposed extension of the
trolley line to the Guideboard fork was
given hearing at Montpelier last
week under rather peculiar circum-
stances.
Supt. c. Q. Richmond of the Berk-
shire street railway, I. e. Gibson,
president Of the Bennington County
Savings bank and R. E. Healy, attor-
ney for the railroad company, appear
ed before the committee in opposition
to the bill but the friends of the bill
were not even notified that there was
to be hearing.
Another hearing will probably be
given and If the people Of the upper
end of the village care anything about
there rights in the matter they should
arrange to send a committee and at
torneys to look after their interests.

REV. BUCK PREACHED
HIMSELF INTO JAIL
Released After Investigation by
Federal Authorities.

Rev. c. A. j. Buck, a former
pastor of the Evangelical church
at Mayview, but now from Min
nesota, delivered a sermon in
Mayyiew Sunday, which was in
terpreted to mean that he was
for the Kaiser first, last and all
the time. His remarks were re-
ported and delegation of citi-
zens of Mayview came to Lex
ington and laid the matter
before G. A. Keith, who in turn
called in Prosecuting Attorney,
Clarence Vivion. The report was
such that Mr.. Vivion issued a
warrant for his arrest. which
was served by Deputy Sheriff
John Toner. Rev. Buck was
brought to jail and the Federal
authorities in Kansas City noti-
fed. An agent was sent to in
vestigate the charges and found
that the evidence wasn't sufi-
cient to hold the accused for
trial, so Tuesday he was releas-
ed.
The Reverend said that he
was not citizen of the United
States, that he took out the first
papers in 1913, but for some
reason, best known to himself,
failed to complete his naturali-
zation. He believes in the divine
right of kings and labors under
the delusion that the Kaiser
is "a caret. He was formerly dis
missed by the congregation at
Mayview.

TAKE SECOND
GAME FROM ODESSA
Murphy's Batting and ''Buch"
ShOemaker's Fielding Were
The Features.

The Athletics accompanied by
about three hundred fans invad-
ed Odessa Sunday and gave
the Odessa boys a beating in
their own yard. The score was
close, very close, and the Ath-
letics had to go twelve innings
for decision; but that was all
right as Merkle had a three
bagger concealed about his per-
son to uncork when the game
had reached this frame.
Both teams scored one run in
the initial inning. The Athletics
scored another in the third and
Odessa tied 'er up in the fifth.
Then it was hard shedding for
all hands until the twelfth when
Merkle trippled, Mason famed,
Shinn hit to third scoring Merk-
le, and the game was over.
Caldwell for the Athletics, al
lowed 6 hits and struck out 8;
Carson was relieved of 7 hits
and struck out 6.

Fred Rethmeyer, living five
miles northeast of Corder was
arrested Tuesday and placed
under 2 $1,000 bond to answer to
the charge of setting fire to
stacks of wheat belonging to
Edward Deistelkamp, Monday

Rethmeyer and the two have

that Rethmeyer's mind is unbal-
anced. He had predicted, in the
