PROSECUTION MAY FOLLOW.
Fair Haven Store Alleged to Have Sold
Poison in Violation of State Law.

Rutland, July 29.-Prosecutions may
follow as result Of the poisoning acct
dent in Blissville, small hamlet be.
tween Castleton and Poultney where
Mrs, Frank G. French used a cupful of
arsenate of lead in mess of biscuits,
supposing it to be barley -four. The
family was very i'll and Mr. French and
son, George w. French, are still in a Sc
rious condition and paralyzed to great
extent, Others made very i'll by the bis.
cults were Mrs. French, Florence and
Roy, children, and Mrs. Florence French,
relative, who was visiting there.
Mr. French bought -four, substitutes
therefor and other articles at a grocery
store in Fair Haven and then, It is al
legged purchased bag Of arsenate of
lead at the Norton hardware store in the
same place, and all the purchases were
placed together in box in Mr. Freneh's
wagon. II is also alleged that the poison
was not labeled in any way and that
Mrs. French, when she set about making
batch Of biscuits for supper, took
cupful Of what she supposed was barley
-four as a part Of the ingredients. The
mistake was not discovered until the
whole family was taken violently i'll, and
had 1t not been for the presence Of a
Mrs, Roberts in the village, who under
stood what to do in cases Of the kind,
without doubt the whole family would
have died. She acted quickly and then
sent for a physician, so that 1t is ex-
pected all the family except the two
mentioned above, possibly, viii recover,
although the physician Is unwilling to
make any statement to that effect, as
there is question as to the ultimate
effect OF so much poison in their systems
When the facts Of the case came to
the attention Of States Attorney c. Y.
Poulin of this city, an investigation was
made and, according to his statement,
the bag of arsenate Of lead was not la
beled in any way, direct Infringement
Of the state law, which states explicitly
that any such poison shall have the word
Poison printed on label attached, also
the word, "Antidote," with the antidote
for that particular poison following, If
there Is one. Arsenate of lead contains
about SO per cent arsenic The original
package has been sealed and forwarded
to the state laboratory of hygiene.

BARTON VERMONT, WEDNESDAY,, JANUARY 80, 1918
Mrs. Clyde Nutting.

Mrs. Clyde Nutting died at her
home on Cemetery hill Sunday after
noon, Jan. 27, after long illness.
Margaret M. Field was born in
Stanstead, P. O., Sept. 7, 1884, the
daughter of David Field and Ella
Tilton Field. Her early life was
spent in Stanstead and Derby Line,
receiving her education there and af-
ter graduating from Stanstead col
lege she chose teaching as her pro
fession and taught successfully in
Derby, Westmore and for two years
in one of the grades in Barton acad-
emy.
She was married in Derby Line
June 3, 1909, to Clyde A. Nutting of
Westmore and they went directly to
the farm where they lived until sew
eral months ago they came to Bar
ton to make their home.
During her long illness, Mrs. Nut
ting was most tenderly cared for by
her father, husband and other loving
friends and knowing for some time
she could not get well, she expressed
the wish to live, but was reconciled
to go if it were Gods will.
Mrs. Nutting was a woman of
beautiful character, by her sunny
disposition, sweet smile and the kind
WOIu lux everyone, WlH1llIlS
wherever she went. She was a great
lover and student of nature and sue
ceeded in getting a great deal Of the
best out of life.
She was devoted daughter, wife
and mother, a great lover of home, a
kind neighbor and loyal friend and
will be missed by hosts of friends,
wherever she has lived.
A member of the church and La
dies Aid society in Westmore, she
was constant attendant and earnest
worker so long as her health would
permit. She is survived by her hus-
band, father and three children, who
have the sympathy of a wide circle
Of friends in their great loss.
Funeral services were held Tues
day afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. w.
A. Warner officiating, and interment
was in Welcome @ Brown cemetery.
We wish in this way to express our
heartfelt thanks to the friends and
neighbors for their many acts of
kindness toward US in our great sor-
row, also for the beautiful flowers
and words of sympathy.

of the K. of G.. campaign. Since
then a canvass Of the town has been
made and about $500 has been raised
here. The apportionment for the en-
tire town is between $500 and $7OO
and will probably be met. A list of
the donors and amounts contributed
will be published next week.
Two cars of coal on Monday tenn
porarily relieved the fuel famine in
town. It was distributed to scores
Of places but there is still great need
of coal. Green wood has been the
most common fuel for the past few
weeks and a change to coal for few
days even will be welcomed by many.
We had hoped to be able to use some
definite information on the coal stu
alton this week but Monday closing
has crowded out many things that
would otherwise have been used.
On the evening of January %, the
Woman's Literary club held their
regular meeting at the home of Mrs.
Florence Pierce. Fourteen members
answered to roll call. After the bus
mess meeting, the program for the
evening was given. Short items of
interest, provided by the hostess and
read by the members, brought out
much valuable information. Two
very interesting papers on rugs were
given, 'The Rune of the Rug" Mrs.
Stannard; "The Rugs of Our Grand
Mothers" Miss May. Pictures of
rugs were shown, and pleasant So
cial hour followed.

with Shakespeare. Ship-wrecked sail
Ors on remote islands ordinarily have
their Bibles, and snivel over them. Ma.
pOleon at st. Helena took comfort in
books, though he never found his ideal
reading. as accounts of his own affairs
were denied to him. David Grayson
used to ramble through country lanes

MacLane, while clutched in the desert
arms of "this Butte" read Keats and
ate cold boiled potatoes at midnight !;
Jesse Pomeroy, Massachusetts famous

anyone who has not an ideal desert

to food?
