Especial to The Reformer.)

1 A
Children tramping about with their
sleds late Saturday afternoon found the
| body of Curtis Houghton, who had been
missing since Wednesday, Nov. 10, the
melting snow having left a part of the
mans head visible on the premises of the
house next to the one where he lived, only
a few feet from the travelled highway.
Mr. Houghton apparently had a shock
and fell, and later was buried in snow
which slid from the roof. He lived alone
and went and came as he pleased, so no
particular significance attached to his dis
appearance. but some of the townspeople
were beginning to wonder where he was.
The circumstances attending the case
make an unusual story. Mr.. Houghton,
a man past middle life, had room IN Dr.
Laura NJ Plantz's house on the left-hand
road from the village to the railroad and
boarded himself, supporting himself by
work wherever he could find it. Mrs.
Plantz a woman of advanced age. went to
Templeton. Mass. Wednesday, Nov. 10,
to spend the winter with relatives On
Tuesday, Nov. 8. Mr.. HoughtOn told Mrs
Plantz he was going to the railroad station
that evening to meet the train from Brat
Houghton, son of Harry HoughtOn of
Brattleboro, was going through on that
train to Bellows Falls to join a party of
children on their way to Boston for medi-
cal treatment. Mrs. Plantz did not see
him again.
On Wednesday afternoon, the day that
Mrs Pantz went away, Mrs. II. l.. Bal
ley while about her household duties saw
Mr. Houghton in the yard at the Mary
~ In
plantz, on the same side of the road He
appeared to be getting up and down as
though about some kind of work, and Mrs.
Bailey naturally gave the matter no fur
ther thought. SO far as is known she was
the last person to see him alive.
Late Saturday afternoon two young
daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. George Merton,
who live in the Ellen Walkup house on
Main street, were at the Gates place with
their sleds and saw mans cap in the
snow. They picked it up and saw il Gov
cred a mans head. They ran home and
told their mother. who confirmed their re-
port by investigation. Mrs. Merton then
called her husband and he and F. f.
knight shoveled away the snow and took
the body to Mr.. Knights undertaking
rooms. A woodpile a few feet from the
street hid from view the spot where the
body was found
DIR. L. II. Bugbee, who saw the body,
said the face showed every indication that
Mr. Houghton sustained shock
When the body was found one foot was
caught in wire fence. NJ. G. Williams.
a merchant who is administrator of the
Gates estate, went to the house a few
days ago to close the blinds and he saw a
rubber in the snow. He kicked it. but it
seemed to be frozen in solidly, so he let it
remain. lie thinks it was on one of Mr.
Houghton's feet

A Good Chance for Someone
To Play Part of Santa Claus

Some of the children who have
been being cared for by the southern
district of the Vermont ChiIdrel's
Aid society have already found
splendid homes and their happy fos-
ter parents are planning to give
them the most wonderful Christ
mas they ever had in their lives
But five little Windham county
children are still being cared for by
the society, in boarding homes They
are Mary, aged s; Sarah, aged s.
Jennie, aged 515; Mabel, aged 4;
Timothy, aged Q months.
The children are happy and well
cared for but there won't be much
for their Christmas stockings unless
some big-hearted person would like
TO play Santa Claus for these lit
tie waits.
The girls of club i'm Burlington
have offered to fill the stockings of
the children that the society is car
ing for in boarding homes about Bur-
lingtOn.
is there such a group of girls in
BrattlebOrO who would like to fill all
the stockings. or is there some big
hearted individual who would like
to fill the stocking for Just one child?
If anyone would like to help the
society in this way. he is asked to
communicate with Miss Harriet E.

CORK SWEPT
BY CONFEDERATION
Damage Estimated Around $15,O00,OOO
-Incendiary Bombs EXploded-Cit-
iZenS Driven From Streets.

CORK, Ire, Dec. 13.-Several blocks of
buildings in the heart of the business dis
trict of Cork We're destroyed by fire dur
ing Saturday night, constituting the cost
Iiest destruction of property since the re-
prisals began i'll Ireland.
4 group of public buildings on Albert
QUAY, including the city hall, the Carnegie
library and part of the Corn Exchange
were also burned, as well as private resi-
dences in various parts of the city.
Early estimates place the damage at
between $1O,000,000 and $15,0O0,0O0.
1t was reported from Cork Saturday
afternoon that newly arrived parties of
auxiliary cadets marched through the
streets holding up and searching pedes-
trians and firing into the air following
the ambush of auxiliaries within half
mile of the barracks, l. of them being
wounded by a bomb thrown from lorry.
Between { and s o'clock a period of in
tense quiet fell on the city, but near 3
o'clock uniformed men began to display
great activity in various parts of Cork.
At some points. tram cars were held up
and passengers taken out. 1t was report
ed that number were beaten and others
placed against the wall and closely ques-
toned. but were finally allowed to proceed.
In the Summer Hill district, the scene
of the ambush, shortly after curfew, two
brothers named Delaney are reported to
have been taken from their home and
shot, one subsequently dying. During the
hour before curfew terrorism held sway,
and after the streets We're emptied of civil
ians, loud explosions and rife and revolver
shots kept up until early morning.
The explosions appeared to come from
incendiary bombs, as persons who VEN
tured to look from their windows saw fires
break out in st. Patrick's street and day
light revealed the full extent of the dam
age.
1t is likely that lives have been lost in
the fires. Already several persons CON
nected with the destroyed houses and
business premises are reported missing.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon people
We're just beginning to venture again into
the streets. The whole city was then in
control of the military and it is under
stood that the officer in command assured
the populace that the military would re-
main on duty indefinitely to prevent fur
ther destruction. The troops are in full
fighting order, pickets with machine guns
being posted at all vantage points.
Only one large 'drapery establishment
is left intact in Cork.

REGULARS GUARD
OVER CORK RUINS
Two Districts Swept by
Fires Set in Reprisal for
an Ambush
SEVERAL LIVES
REPORTED LOST
City Quiet Today But Troops Are Or
dered to Shoot LOOters on Sight -
Magnificent City Hall In Ruins -
Shooting at CamlOugh. s#s

LONDON, Dec. 13.-British regulars
stood guard today over twisted and
blackened ruins left by the fires which
Saturday night and yesterday swept vir-
tually unchecked through the city of
Cork, Ireland. Charges were made that
police auxiliaries there, maddened by
the killing and wounding of comrades
by ambush of Sim Feiners on Saturday,
let loose the fire demon ON the city. Es-
Inmates of the loss run as high as $15,-
0O,O0O. 1t is said several lives were
lost and dispatches declared two broth
ers named Delaney were called from
their homes and shot, one of them fa-
tally.
Two districts of Cork were swept by
the flames. In the business section along
st. Patrick's street hardly a shop was
left complete. South of st. Patrick
street the fire ran uncontrolled. Thus an
area of three blocks in this part of the
town was reduced to masses of debris.
The magnificent city hall of Cork To-
Gated on the southern end of the Par
nell bridge which spanaed the river Lee
was also laid in ruins. In addition the
Corn Exchange just behind the city hall
was at least partially destroyed.
Dispatches said Cork was quiet today
and that orders had been given the reg
ular soldiers to shoot looters on sight.
Damaged premises have been plundered
in some instances, it is said, but the mil
itary is in absolute control at present.
Rumors relative to the loss of life are
conflicting and vague.

There are several smaller mills in the
city which invariably have followed the
larger interests. and which are said to be
contemplating similar action today.
