With pomp and ceremony conspic-

morning. Exactly "a members Of

Just before the men started their
march, pack on their backs, for the
railroad station for entrainment.
As was expected there was a good
crowd on the streets and at the depot
but the send off given the guardsmen
was rather quiet, probably owing to
the fact that the train pulled out
very suddenly giving little time for
boys to bid their friends and loved
ones goodbye.
Captain Buzzell was greatly pleas
ed because the majority Of the men
were on deck at the armory in plenty
of season to get their equipment
prepared without keeping the outfit
marking time. There were a few
straoolers but they did "double time"
when they did arrive so there was
little delay in getting away.

mind and went home. His alarm

and started on fast trot for the
train. He attracted considerable at
tention from the early "risers" as he
did "double time" toward the station.
The old boy was seen to grab the
handle of the last coach as it pulled
out. The officers breathed sigh Of
relief when they came across him in
their travel through the coaches.

John Judge of Lyndonville
Loses His License

The Secretary of State has indefi-
nitely suspended the license of John
A. Judge of Lyndonville for causing
an accident by reckless driving.
The license of Charles ]. Batchel-
der of Windsor has also been indefi-
nitely suspended, for beino involved
in an automobile accident at st.
Johnsbury when Batchelder was rae
ing with another motorcycle.
The latter case is presumably the

Howard Boyce was so nearly killed
when both were SPEEDING into st.
Johnsbury Tuesday night and Boyce
struck Fred A. Walkers car. The
other young man was very loath to
give his name to the interested par
ties and finally gave his name as Carl
Hamblett of St. Johnsbury.
The Secretary of State has sus-
pended nearly 80 licenses so far this
season, while the reports Of accidents
throughout the state continue to pour
into this Office by every mail.

Every road leading from the swamp

police have possession of two auto

night by the brothers on the edge of
the swamp and which the police re-

Mans Wife and Gives
First Aid to Fainter

The first trouble since the Metal
Trades Carnival has been in Newport
occurred on the cirrus grounds on
Friday evening, when Prof. Hilbert,
the tattoo artist" avenged an insult
to his wife by administering a severe
beating to "Fresh" George, who works
on the rrygo-around. The result
Of the latter's collision with the heavy
fist of the professor was deep cash
over the right eye and several minor
bruises. The appearance upon the
scene of Constable Ora A. SWEET was
the only thing that saved "Fresh'
George from being more seriously in
jured. The officer separated the
pair and scattered the crowd that was
drawn by the fistic battle.
It is said that "Fresh" George at
,empted to make date with the pro-
fessor's wife and also date with an
other woman with her for friend
of his. Mrs. Hilbert Immediately
carried the news of the insult to her
husband and the fight followed. There
had been trouble between, these two
men before.
Another large gatherin~ of morbid
ones was attracted by the fantino of
Mrs. Mary Robinson of Albany, w.,
who was overcome by the heat. The
woman was carried to far corner of
the lot away from the crowd and first
aid treatment given to her bv Con-
stable Ora SWEET, Mrs. Robnson's
son, Clarence, who was with her and
a friend, Miss ANY Henderson of AL
bany. Constable SWEET helped with
the treatment and also summoned

Owing to the fact that the men

publish extracts from a letter writ
ten by the attorney general to City
Attorney Kunz in regard to this mat
ter:
"The uestion you ask is what ef-
feet this action Of the council will
have upon their official transactions
IN the future"
1T is our opinion that II has no

ion, until after a regular forfeiture
proceeding had been instituted. sep
arate and apart from the conviction.
in order to have the office declared
forfeited; that is. the forfeiture pro-
ceeding would be n new one after
conviction was had, and the convic-
tion would not. ipso facto. or other
wise, cause such forfeiture.
Therefore, the council can safe
ly proceed as though this incident
had not occurred. and their official
acts as councilmen can never be at-
tackled, even though It developed af-
terwards that. based upon the ap-
pointments as made in violation OF
