SS1,9O4.OO FOR
WAR WORK DRIVE

Addison County again went over the
top, this time so closely that It would
seem that the gifts came by intuition
Of the exact amounts required Some
towns are considerably behind but
Others with the big lift from the College
Students are enough ahead that there
will be a safe margin Of several hun
dred dollars above the goal OF s3l,5OO.
The credits given below to the var
ious towns are not exact Final reports
are not in from many OF the towns,
while the amount pledged by the school
children has not been finally apportioned
to the towns Some towns have includ'
ed these pledges, while as many more
have not, The school pledges in the
end will be credited to the town Of
residence OF the pupil-not to the town
where the school is located Supt A, W,
Eddy reports the total amount Of
school money, s2,9s0
Everyone is entitled to the greatest
credit and pride in the fine results
shown below, In three OF the towns the
campaign was handled with great abil-
ity by women chairmen

Mrs Nelson Goss,
~ Park street,
Middlebury, VI

The following account OF how Mich.
acl J Lahifi, a graduate Of Middlebury
College in the class OF 1912, was probab.
ly fatally shot in Worcester, Mass, is
contained in Wednesdays Boston
Globe;
Michael J Lahifi, 80, was probably
fatally shot tonight TUESDAY in an
attempted holdup, and William Paul.
~, is under arrest, charged with as.
sault to murder and assault to rob. The
shooting occurred in the wholesale
liquor store OF Matthew J. Kennedy
4 Co., where Lahiii was in charge short
ly before 9 O'Clock With three bullets
in his body he chased his assailant
Before he became unconscious he pos.
itively identified Paul as his assalant,
and other witnesses say they saw Paul
enter the store just before the shots
were heard
"Lahiff told the police that Paul came
into the store and leaned against the
counter without speaking He said he
asked how he could serve Paul, and
that the latter then drew a revolver
and demanded money. Paying no heed
to the weapon, Lahif says he struck
at Paul and the latter began firing. Two
shots struck in his cheeks and the third
entered the left side of the abdomen.
Lahiff pursued Paul toward the door
and up the street until his strength
gave out Paul was pointed out to the
policemen and when arrested he was
walking unconcernedly down the street,
and made emphatic denial of any wrong
doing
"Lahff was immediately taken to the
city hospital and placed on the opera
ting table, but slight hope is enter
tained for his recovery, He is the SON
in-law of Mr., Kennedy, who runs the
liquor store"
Michael J. Lahiff, is the son of Mr..
and Mrs Bartholomew Lahiff, and was
born in Maiden N Y, March II, 1886.
He was prepared for college in Adams,

dlebury College in 1908. On February
l5, 1915, he married Miss Martha Ken
nedy, and has since been connected

AUTO CASUALTY
ON MAIN STREET

Miss Mary Purcell, formerly of Or
well, but for the past three years em-
ployed at The Addison House was
seriously injured Monday night about
six o'clock when she was struck by an
automobile, driven by Chester Brush,
son of Mr., and Mrs, c. A. Brush Of
Munroe street, on the bridge near
Frost's Pharmacy
Miss Purcell, who is 65 years old, is
very deaf, ant it is evident that she
did not see or hear the Brush car as
it proceeded up the street The car
struck at her left side breaking one
leg at the ankle, the other just above
the knee, and inflicting bad cash on
the head.
She was removed to Frost's Drug
Store, where the wounds we're tempo
rarily dressed, and later in the evening
she was taken in Blackmer's ambu-
lance to the Mary Fletcher Hospital,
accompanied by Dr. S. S. Eddy
No blame whatever is placed on the
driver of the automobile, who, it is
said was running at moderate speed,
and gave the customary warning.

EMMA WILLARD'O
DEBT RECOGNIZED

In response TO the many inquiries
regarding the recent bequest of 500,
900 TO Middlebury College from the
estate OF Mrs, Russell Sage, the follow
ing communication has been handed
10 us by Dr. Ezra Branerd, President
emeritus, It seems to complete the
story regarding the influences which
led Mrs, Sage to remember the Col
lege so generously,
About thirty years ago received
an invitation to give a talk on the life
and work OF Emma Willard during the
twelve years she lived in Mddlebury
when from 20 to 30 years OF age. This
talk was to be given before the Emma
Willard Association in New York City,
at the home on 9th Avenue of Mrs.
Russell Sage, who was the President Of
the Association, met there an inter
esting company who held in high es-
TEEN the mature matron under whose
guidance they had graduated from the
famous Ladies Seminary in Troy, 1t
was not difficult to interest them in an
account Of Emma Wizards early life
and Of her confessed indebtedness to
Middlebury College for her advanced
views regarding the higher education of
women, | succeeded in securing $1,000
for an Emma Willard scholarship IN
Middlebury College. The following year
came an invitation to address them
again, and to publish a pamphlet con-
tanning the substance OF my talks.
This was done at the expense of a New
York lawyer, former pupil OF mine,
whose mother in Vermont was 4 grad
uate Of the Troy Seminary, The pam
phlet passed through two editions of
500 copies each, most OF which we're
placed in the hands Of Mrs, Sage for
distribution to the graduates oi the
Troy Seminary,
"This pamphlet was later republished
by the United States Bureau OF Edu-
cation, Circular OF Information No 4,
l900 whole number 265, On page 1870,
under the headline OF the article, the
reader is informed that it was prepared
for the Emma Willard Socie
ty of New York by Ezra Brainerd, Ii.
D., President of Middlebury College"
Thus it would appear probab!. that
the 100000 dollar bequest is the fair
fruitage of the humble seed sown in
faith so many wears ago"

FITZPATRICK BABY
STILL MISSING

One OF the most tragic drowning acci-
dents recorded here for a number Of
years occurred Monday morning at
about nine o'clock at the home Of Mr.,
and Mrs Arthur Fitzpatrick, who live
on the Nash farm on New Haven River,
when their three year old twin son,
Robert, fell into the river near the
house, and was carried down the stream
by the swift current,
No one saw the accident, and Just
how the boy met his terrible death will
never be known, The details obtained
from the family are that Robert and
his twin sister Elizabeth went out into
the yard to play, without their mothers
knowledge, When Mrs, Fitzpatrick saw
the sister little later alone, she ask
cd where Robert was and the little girl
said he was in the barn She immediate
ly went to the barn but a search there
failed to reveal him, and Fastening to
the bank OF the river she found the
child's mitten,
Mr., Fitzpatrick, who was at the milk
factory at the time was summoned
and with a large party OF men a search
was begun at once, The river has been
dragged daily and every means used
to recover the body but up until this
morning all efforts had proven in vain
Wednesday afternoon one sleeve and
part of the waist Of a pair of rompers
worn by the child were found clingng
IN branch in the river near thn
Brooksville bridge, about a mile below
the scene of the drowning,
1t is doubtful whether so small
body will ever be found, the river hav-
ing risen high, and the current being
so swift, as a result Of the recent heavy
rains The baby besides his parents and
twin sister, is survived by an infant
brother Mr., and Mrs, Fitzpatrick were
at one time residents of Middlebury,
and have the sincere sympathy Of the
entire community,
