WENT HOME WITHOUT BABY.
But Bush Daspit Hopes Wife Will Fol-
low with the Child.

Burlington, July 20.-Four- year-olc
baby Elizabeth, the daughter of Busl
and Ruth n. Daspit of New Orleans, La.
succeeded where Others failed and yes
| terday her father, who came from his
home in the south for the purpose OF eff
fecting reconciliation between him and
his wife, is on his way home satisfied to
leave the child in her mothers care and
hoping only that both mother and child
will join him after the summer months
are over.
Although the case concerning Mr.. Das-
pits attempt to secure the custody of
his daughter has been set for the Sep
TENDER term OF county court, it is i'm
probable that it will ever be tried as
the father feels that the trouble started
from misunderstanding for which he
was to blame.
The case which is an interesting one
because of the baby daughter invoked
and because that the wife travelled hum
dreds of miles to evade her husband, was
brought into the local courts Monday
when Bush Daspt, the husband, served
a habeas corpus writ upon his wife in
an attempt to get possession of his
daughter, with whom Mrs. Daspit left
home some time ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Daspit were married on
October 2, 1912. The baby, Elizabeth,
is the only child born to them.
Last Thursday Mr.. Daspit came to
Brattleboro, where his wife was stay
ing and attempted to speak to her. The
mother, claiming that she wished to
wash and dress he child, went into an
adjoining room and locked the door. Aft
srward, without her husbands knowl- |
edge, she left the city, taking train for
Burlington.
Mr. Daspit followed her here and had
he writ served on her. Love for NJ
,aby, however, and desire to shield his
wife from notoriety, prompted him to
Irop the case and leave the city.

Tourist Business Far Below Normal in
Burlington.

July this year marks vast falling of
in the number of summer visitors at
Burlington compared to previous sum
mers. Although there are some auto
mobile parties passing through the city
there are few families who stop here as
in former vacation months. The steam
ers, despite the large number of soldiers
here, never have crowded decks. The
noon boat from Plattsburg every day
carries few passengers. And at that
there are only two steamers in service
In other years more than enough work
could be found for all three of the Cham
plain transportation company's vessels.
The reason that tourists, upon whom
the hotels of the city depend a great
deal, and whose trade has proved great
help to local merchants in past years, do
not visit Burlington this summer in any
where near the numbers of previous
years is attributed to the unsettled con.
dition of the country. With the numer-
GUS training camps throughout the coun-
try having in attendance thousands of
young men. the parents of the soldiers
are attracted here.
The fact of Fort Ethan Allen being
located near the city is put up as a reason
why the tourist business should be bet |
ter. Notwithstanding this, however, the
tourist business in Burlington is far be. !
ow the usual standard

MILLIONS OF TROUT DIED
In Shipment from Hatchery in Benning-
ton to Hardwick.

Burlington, July 20.-Three million
brook trout, representing a large outlay
of money, were destroyed yesterday
while en- route from Bennington TO Hard
wick. Against the advice of the mes
senger in charge of the shipment, Il,
p. Higgins, too many of the little fell
lows, the largest OF which We're scarcely
two inches long, were placed in each
can. The heat of the ear in which they
travelled made it impossible with the
large number in each can for those in
charge to maintain the water at an even
temperature.
The fish started to die some time be-
fore they reached this city and when the
train reached Burlington the casualty
list had swelled to 100000. A tempo
rary morgue was hastily erected at the
foot OF King street and the trout were
consigned to their last resting place.
As soon as the news of their arrival
reached the people living near the wat
err front scores of urchins, armed with
every kind of available carrying utensils,
came TO the scene and gathered the de-
ceased ones in bucketfulls, which they
afterwards sold at good prices TO local
fishermen for bait.
Word came from the fish and game
warden's Office at Cambridge that the
shipment of fish had been sent TO a man
by the name of Taylor in Hardwick, who
wished to stock his preserve. 1t was
stated at Cambridge that Mr.. Higgins,
the man in charge of the trout, is one of
the most capable employees in the bust
ness and that it was impossible for him
to save the stock.
This spring there was a hatchery near
the docks of the Champlain Transports
tion company, which produced billions
Of tiny perch, trout, pike and other kinds
Of fish for the purpose of restocking the
waters of the state. There are different
iatcheries throughout Vermont at the
present time.

F. A. Gray, Everett Eaton, J. I. Eaton
and r. w. Eaton, all of Morrisville, made
on July Is what was perhaps record
climb. The party went by auto into
Smugglers Notch as far as the big boul-
der and then climbed up the path made
by the boulder when it slid down the
mountain few years ago. The man
ahead climbed from another mans shout
ders and then dropped rope for the 9th
ers to climb by. In many places there was
a sheer drop of many hundred feet,
where misstep would have meant
death The trip from the point where
the boulder left the cliff to the chin was
nearly as precipitous and was difficult
travelling on account of the denseness OF
scrub spruces which grow there. A
small lake was discovered half way be-
tween the lake in the clouds |
and the north end of the ridge. From
there the party continued up over the
chin to the nose and then to the Barnes
camp on the long trail. Several parties
have attempted the same trip, but so
far as known the above named are the
first to complete it.
