To buy booze only to lose part Of it
was the fate of H. 0. Dickinson Of Rox-
bury Friday evening, the matter result
ing in Ashley Mason and Ray Bigelow
being arrested on the charge of larceny
of the liquor, to which they pleaded gull
ty. Dickinson came here to have a tooth
pulled and apparently went to Barre,
where he obtained two packages of bot
tied beer He brought these to Montpel-
Ter and was waiting in the Central Yer
mont station for his train when he went
to sleep. Andrew 0'Grady, the night
agent, saw Mason and Bigelow near
Dickinson as well as the two packages.
He went to another part Of the sta
tion and upon his return noticed from
the ticket office that one of the packages
and the two men were gone. He notified
the police. Chief Connolly and Officer
Baldwin traced the two men to Winoosl1i
avenue, where they overlook them, but
the men did not have any liquor on
them at the time, although they had
some inside their stomachs, having drunk
three bottles each. The officers pressed
the matter and made Mason and Bigelow
admit they had taken the liquor, after
which they went back over the ground
and the two men found the remaining
bottles in the grass. The men were then
taken to city court, where they pleaded
guilty to the offense upon Grand Juror
Stones warrant. Bigelow was reluctant
about admitting he participated in the
Job Of larceny, but when Mason told his
story that Bigelow held the door open
and helped drink the booze and ii was
explained that it constituted completely
in the crime, he admitted his guilt.

Hermon Hopkins, when he called to-
gether this week some 10 persons to sing
| in male chorus, did not realize how
much enthusiasm existed for that kind
Of singing, but the result, after the re-
hearsal for the singing Sunday evening,
was that a permanent organization was
made with Mr. Hopkins elected leader
and Bruce Mcdonald secretary and IL
| brarian Later a treasurer will be elect
ed. II is planned to increase the number
| to 20 voices. While il was planned to
to use this only for the Bastille day eel
ebration, the work will probably be kept
up. Mrs. Perley Pitkin and Mrs. +. B.
Leach win be accompanies, while Sun
! day evening Miss Kathleen LeBarron Of
/ Waterbury, a young soprano, will be
heard. Mr.. Hopkins heard Miss LeBar-
ron a fey days since, and was so much
impressed with her singing that she was
asked to sing Sunday evening.
There has been considerable specula-
| ton through the newspapers and in
the minds of the public as to how the
raid in Bennington happened to take
place one week ago tonight. Cores
| pondence shows that the states attorney
Of that county was notified that the law
was not being complied with and that II
was expected Of him that the law would
be enforced. This letter was not an
swered by the states attorney, which
probably started the ball a rolling that
resulted in the most successful raid
| pulled off in this state, according TO the
Oldest officers in the state. Another in
teresting feature was that those in
charge of the matter were closely in
touch with the situation, for the sheriffs
in Washington county were ordered to
make their preparation for the raid Just
one week in advance of the date 1t oc-
Cured. Probably the persons in one
Of the clubs in Bennington who told the
officers they had been tipped off that
the matter had been dropped, alluded to
the preparations that were made for the
week previous to the raid. 1t has been
supposed that H. G. Barber signed the
complaints, as attorney general He
played his part in the general plan, but
! the complaints, as the records of the
| Bennington municipal court will show
were signed by two reputable citizens Of
| that county, This shows that no politi.
cal aspirations were considered when the
raid was pulled off, as has been init.
mated by echoes from the southern part
of the state. The time set for the raid
was 1880 o'clock and that it took place
at that time is certain, for the officers
who went to the Moose club had to wait
A few minutes on their way TO prevent
| getting there too soon. One of the in.
terestinp features connected with the
raid was that when one of the members
of the club called another club to tip
the members off one Of the Montpelier
officers answered the telephone. In raid.
ing one of the places even the books which
looked like credit books were taken, ac-
cording TO one of the officers making the
raid in that club. It is no secret now
that a detective was employed on the
lob. Nor is it that ed was recognized
