MRS. PROUTY LOSES CASE
Gets Nothing for Death of Husband
in 100000 Suit.

A verdict for the defendant was
returned at IL o'clock Saturday night
in the suits of Mrs. Henrietta Prouty
widow of ex-Gov. George H. Prouty
of Newport, to recover 1907 900 from
the Grand Trunk road as the result
of the late ex-governor's death on the
railroad crossing at Lennoxville, P.
O., last August. The jury was out
nine hours.
recover $4,000 for injuries, will be
tried as soon as jury can be Sc
cured.
Mrs. Prouty was not in court when
the verdict was returned. 1t is be-
lieved an appeal will be made,
though no statement was made to
that effect. The suit was the largest
of the kind ever brought in the state.
c. A. Prouty, director of the divi-
sion of accounting of the United
States railroad administration, re-
turned to Washington Saturday night.
Counsel for the Grand Trunk, John
w. Redmond, will again clash with
Attorneys Ward Prouty and Farman
in Blay's suit. Counsel Redmond con-
cluded his plea Saturday morning at
1890. He argued that the ex-gover-
nor was suffering from an incurable
case of diabetes and that his certain
death would have cut off the widows
income. The theme of his plea was
that if Mr.. Prouty had continued to
lavish money upon his wife for lux
uries he would soon be bankrupt.
Attorney Charles A. Prouty, a man
past 70 years, who has not addressed
jury for quarter of century, said
that the keystone of Redmond's whole
argument was that the Prouty car
was speeding recklessly. While in
the midst of his proof that the car
was not speeding, Redmond suddenly
broke in upon him. Prouty calmly
proceeded with his plea, ignoring the
interruption. Mr.. Prouty asserted
! neer, only sounded his whistle after
| the collision in order to conceal his
negligence in not blowing it before,
eff that automatic bell had lived in
the days of Cotton Mather it would
J have been indicted for witchcraft. 1t
was guilty of every vagary. At the
| time of the accident it seemed to have
| had a spasm of virtue and was ring
| ing. Attorney Redmond unceremoni-
ously broke in again and again upon
| the plea and could be subdued with
difficulty by Judge Howe.
| A recess of ten minutes was de-
1 clared before the court, summing up
all the evidence, made the charge to
the jury, the foreman of which was
/ Guy P. Metcalf of St. Johnsbury.
The rest of the jurors were D. M.
Crane of McIndoes Falls; John Gro
sier of Montpelier, S. A. Hutchinson
of East Braintree, F. E. Holmes of
Brookfeld, H. A. Cleveland of Barton,
B. S. Ford of Guildhall, w. H. Kidder
of Irasburg, H. H. Dommey of Hard
wick, Perkins Flint of Randolph and
George L. Spaulding of Windsor.

Barton Meets Irasburg Thursday.

The opening game for Barton's new
baseball team occurs at the fair
grounds Thursday afternoon at 2.3O
o'clock. Because it is the first game
of the season don't think it will be a
dull one. Irasburg has been play
ing splendid game and winning, but
Barton's lineup will contain such
men as the Lee boys, Emerson boys,
Leland boys, Heath, Barrows, Web
ster and other names of local men
who have agreed to go into the game
for the sport of baseball but whose
former work and reputation guar
antee some unusually good work. Ar
rangements have been made to trans
port all who desire to see the game,
from the postoffice square free of
charge between 1.30 and 230 o'clock.
Let's show the boys we appreciate
their efforts.

More Smugglers Taken.

Two men, two women and three
children, Russian, and Polish Jews,
believed to have been smuggled
across the Canadian border, were ar
rested in st. Johnsbury last week and
taken to Newport for a hearing. Ac-
companying them was a New York
travelling salesman, who gave the
name of Zelt. He is thought to be
implicated and is held.
The aliens claim they paid an au-
tomobilist S175 to bring them from
Montreal to St. Armand, P. @. They
were met by a car bearing a Vermont
number and brought to Fletcher.
They boarded the train there for st.
Johnsbury, over the st. Johnsbury &
Lake Champlain railroad, en- route to
New York Both men are unable to
walk, being crippled with infantile
paralysis.
Their condition aroused the sus-
picion of Conductor z. NJ Jackson
of ST. Johnsbury, who notified the
immigration authorities at Newport
who were there when the train ar
rived
immigration officers believe the
gang of opium smugglers, part of
which have been arrested, is behind
this new plot to get undesirable
aliens across the border The mini
mum penalty is $4,000 or five years
Imprisonment The officers are look
ing for the Vermont car that figured
in the plot.

o. ID. ROwell.

In the passing of o. D. Rowell,
Barton lost one of its most respected
citizens. Few men held the love and
esteem of the entire town to great
er degree than did Mr.. Rowell.
Orville D. Rowen was born in AL
bany, Dec. II, 1S47, oldest son of Guy
and Betsy (Page) Rowell. He was
educated in the common schools and
attended Craftsbury academy short
time He was wide reader and added
to his meager education In that way.
He removed with the family to Bar
ton in the fall of 1869, and here near
Iy all of his life has been spent.
He married Jennie Hail., daughter
of Dea. John and Lucy Hall, Feb: %,
1882. They purchased the Hall
homestead and resided there, where
he made a successful farmer. He
held the office of overseer of the poor
for seven years, was also one of the
selectmen for several years. He was
painstaking and thorough in all his
work to a marked degree, attending
to every detail, whether it was his i'm
mediate business or doing business
for others. He was elected deacon
of the Congregational church in 1908
which office he held until his death.
He was interested in the church, a
constant attendant and superinten-
dent of the Sunday school as long
as his health permitted him to at
tend In the fall of 1905. on account
of failing health, he left the farm and
he and his wife went to California,
hoping his health would improve, but
returned the next year, since which
time they have resided in town.
| His disease, of several years dur
alton, was hard to bear, being ner-
vous trouble, but through it all not a
word of complaint passed his lips. He
would only say, "I am ready to go any
time, if it is His will" He died
peacefully in the early morning of
Saturday, July 18th. The funeral
was held in the Congregational
church Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Mr..
Warner of Peacham officiating. The
burial was in the Welcome o. Brown
cemetery. He leaves a wife, four
sisters, all of whom were able to be
present, two brothers, one in Califor-
MIA, and one in New York, who were
not able to be present at the services,
and other more distant relatives.
The brothers are Zuar of Califor-
MIA and Guy of New York City. The
sisters are Mrs. R. w. Buchanan of
West Glover, Mrs. Carrie Bunker and
Mrs. Edwin C. Gould of Manchester,
N. H, and Mrs. F. W. Comstock of
Barton.

A New Fruit Tree Pest.

The following is from a recent is
sue of the Farm Bureau News:
A rather uncommon and serious
alent this year. The creature is a
shiny insect, larger at one end than
the other. 1t is biting insect and
eats the upper surface tissues from
the leaf leaving the bare framework
A number of instances where these
insects are prevalent have been re-
ported to Prof. NJ B. Cummings, the
horticultural specialist for the ag-
gricultural Extension service of the
University of Vermont, and it ap-
pears that the pest is quite abundant
this year. This note is issued as a
warning to people who have pear and
cherry trees, to inspect them and if
the pest is found remedial measures
should be taken at once. Since there
is a good set of pears this year it is
important that the foliage be re-
tanned in good condition.
When only few slugs are present
the easiest method is to dust the
trees with fresh Stacked lime. It is
well to make this application early in
the morning when the foliage is
moist with dew so as to retain the
mixture for some time. One or two
applications should prove sufficient if
the lime adheres we'll Where the in
sect is prevalent in large numbers
the use of arsenicals such as arsenate
of lead at the rate of four pounds to
100 gallons of water applied when
the foliage is dry will destroy the
creatures promptly.

FAIR SEPTEMBER 2, 8 AND a.
Positive Dates Set for Great Fair.
First in Three Years.

Set aside September 2, and 4 for
the Orleans County Fair to be held
at Barton. The first dates decided
upon have had to be changed on ac-
count of changes in the dates of 9TH
er fairs and fair dates must be ar
ranged in something like logical or
der or horses, attractions and fair
men cannot be secured, but finally,
September 2, 3 and have been set
tied upon and plans started for one
of the best events the people of Or
leans county have had.
For three years there has been no
fair in Orleans county. On two diff
ferent years the fair was cancelled
the state board of health because of
contagious diseases, and last year
war conditions prevented a fair. 1t
now remains to be seen whether the
people really want a county fair or
not.
Wednesday and Thursday will be
two big days, each equally as good as
the other with all the premi-
um stock, attractions and races on
both days. Definite announcements
as to events are not yet available but
some of the best baseball games seen
by county teams In recent years are
practically assured.
Let every person in the county get
behind this fair. 1t is the peoples
fair, since the stock is owned by sew
eral hundred people through the
county and there is every reason for
! making it a county event of the best
character.
Remember the dates, September 2
3 and 4, and meet your neighbors and
friends at the Orleans county fair at
Barton.

VERMONT NOTES

Approximately 1000 men were
thrown out of employment in Barre
Monday because of the shortage of
electric power due to the prolonged
dry season. Only few of the gran
ite manufacturing plants of the city
are in operation The Montpelier &
Barre Light & Power Co. confessed
that the water situation at it's vari-
Gus plants is very serious and unless
there is break in the drought there
will be no improvement. The rain
of Tuesday brought little relief and
the fact remains that Barre is facing
the most serious water famine it has
seen in six years.
