MISSING ARTICLES FOUND.
Officers Search Miss Josie johnson s
House in Vernon on Complaint to
States Attorney. E. w. Gibson

A considerable number of articles al
legged to have been stolen from Miss
julia Frost of Vernon were found in
Miss Josie johnson 8 house in that town
Monday morning by Brattleboro officers
armed with u search warrant
Miss johnson, who is about 40 wears
old, lives few houses south of the
Frost place and has worked more7or less
for Miss Frost, who is over 10. Miss
Frost was sister of the late j. o.
Frost of Vernon.
For year or so Miss Frost has missed
articles from her home, but until recent
ly she assumed that she had misaid
them Becoming finally convinced that
she was being robbed she made her sus-
picions known to States Attorney f. w.
Gibson of this town, who issued a war
rant to have Miss Johnson s house
searched.
Sheriff Frank l.. Wellman and Deputy
Sheriff Fred Greasy of this place and
Sheriff Arthur NJ Haskins of Green
field, Mass, a friend of the Frost family
went by automobile to Vernon Monday
morning and made the search, and
among the articles found were many
which were identified by Miss Frost as
her property.
Among the articles missed by Miss
Frost were blanket belonging to a
pair, silver knives and forks, cups, sau-
GERS, cotton cloth, doilies, etc.
States Attorney Gibson has made
investigation of the alleged larceny
but the case will not be tried until aft
er the United States court session now
in progress here. Attorney Gibson is
one of the counsel in the federal court

WHEAT RUST SURVEY.
Is Being Made by Mr.. Doran, Repre-
senting U. S. Department of Cereal
Investigation.

A survey of the condition of the plant
disease known as wheat rust is being
made i'll this section by Mr.. Doran, rep
resenting the United States department
of cereal investigation, The disease has
been spreading gradually in various see
tions, attacking red top, timothy and
other important grasses.
One strange point in the life history
of this plant, said County Agent w. p,
Frost today. is the fact that it nearly
always spends II part of its life upon the
barberry plant and is never prevalent
except in districts where the barberry is
found in either wild or cultivated form
Mr.. Doran found patches of wild bar
berry in the town of Dummerston, but
it is not expected that Windham county
has a large amount of this plant in either
wild or domesticated form. Consequent
ly serious damage from rust is not
looked for here.
