All grain for Holland has been held

DEPUTY PURDY
LANDS ALLEGED
HORSETH|EF
Eugene Allen Caught in Hub
bardton After Long Chase
NOW IN COUNTY JAIL
Charged With Taking Valuable Horse
from Pasture in Peru and Sell
ing 1t in Glens Falls. i

Deputy Sheriff James d. Purdy OF
Manchester arrived in the village
Friday night with Eugene Allen
whom he had arrested at Hubbardton
on the charge of horsestealing. Allen,
who is 80 years ola and who has a
wife and two children, had been at
work during the haying season for
John Russell in Peru.
The horse which Allen is charged
with stealing belonged to The Ameri-
can Realty company which carries on
pulp wood business in Peru during
the winter. The animal, which is
valued at $500, had been turned out
to pasture where, 1t is claimed 1t was
taken by Allen.
According to officer Purdy's story
Allen drove into Granville, N. Y,
Monday night with the horse which
he traded with a man named Sullivan
for another horse and $50 in cash.
From Granville he drove to Glens
Falls where he stole COW which he
later disposed of for $40
With the doged persistence that
has characterized Officer Purdy's
work in many previous cases, Allen
was trailed to Fort Ann, ~ Y. to
Castleton and Hubbardton. In the
latter town the officer found his man
working for A. ]. Davis. The horse
belonging to the American Realty
company was recovered.
Allen, who claims to have friends
in Luzern, ~ Y, and in Castleton is
now in the county jail
In putting Allen behind the bars.
Deputy PWdy has again demonstrate
ed that as long-distance trailer of
criminals he has few equals in the
state of Vermont. In recent years
in nearly every instance in which 1t
has been necessary to run down Ben
nington county criminals who had
temporarily made good their escape
and whose whereabouts were un-
known, Purdy has been called upon
to do the work. He has long rec
ord of successes to his credit and
some of the cases have presented
problems that we're decidedly difficult
to solve.

Denomination.
Among the plans for the Y. NJ. c.
A. program for the coming season
promince is being given to a church
night, and at a meeting last evening
including the pastors OF the local
churches the idea was worked out
quite definitely and met the approval
of those present.
The Young Mems Christian Associ
alton is fundamentally an arm of the
church, and in Bennington where the
churches have no institutional equip
ment. it should meet the common
needs of the churches especially in
that respect SO it is suggested to
have not less than one night a month
set aside for each denomination in
which they can use the whole equip
ment of the association. from the
bowling alleys up through to the kit
chen
This naturally leads to the inter
esting prospect OF inter-church
league for both men and women in
different games, and among the sug
gestions along that line is that
churches from neighboring communi
ties be asked as guests and to joir
in competition from time to time
Last winter. in fact, one of the 10
cal churches experimental with thi;
plan and entertained their North Ad
ans brethren and were entertained
by them in return at North Adams.

Russia is nervously watching the

artillery preparation directed against

indicate the beginning of a general
German offensive timed for the week

Washington, August 25.-Cheaper
coal for the American householder
will be one of the first aims of the
last night by DR.. II. A. Garfield, its
head. A scale of profits for the re-
taller was suggested as an early pos

"All the machinery given me will
be used to enforce the prices named
by President Wilson" said DIR. Gar
field. Our purpose will be to secure
all the benefits contemplated In the
act and the fuel control put into
force will insure a reduction to the
consumer Any person who thinks
this will not mean reduction in re.
tallers' profits will find he is mistak-
en-. Each possible remedy under the
bill designed to remedy present con
ditions will be studied and we will he
ready to put into force any of its pro
vislons"
The government II was learned yes
terday, will not permit coal dealings
at prices higher than those named
by the president on the grounds oI
existing contracts unless II Is
proved that the contracts are bona
fidc
Or. Garfield conferred yesterday
with representatives of th,
coal industry and received sug
gestions concerning the situation
and the operators ideas as to how 1
best may be handled II was mad,
clear to the operators that inellicien
