agation of dozen or more orcharc
men from Addison County, and mos
of them accompanied by their families
1t was the largest meeting i'll the his
tory of the organization. c. Lesli

chards, ,of Cornwall and Shoreham
who was host to the summer gathering
of the state horticulturists two year
ago, is now president of the society
and in presiding at the meeting at the
McRae place he spoke with great en-
thusiasm of the future of the apple in
dustry in Vermont.
The society now has 400 member:
and at the meeting Wednesday Presi
dent Witherell launched a campaign
for enrolling every Vermont apple
grower. He also called attention to the
annual fruit show of the society which
will be held in Rutland, November II

JOY RIDE COSTS
CHAUFFEUR S14OO

For the three shots that he fired
early Friday morning at Lake Dun
more Duncan Higgenbotham of Rye
NJ Y, had paid SAl3l0 before he left
the presence of Judge A w Dickens
in the Addison County Municipal
Court Saturday afternoon Frank Du-
rant of Salisbury, who was wounded
in the shoulder by one of the bullets
from the 3S Colt automatic recovered
damages of Sll00 On his plea of guilty
to the charge of assault with a dan
gerous weapon Higgenbotham wa
fined $500, with costs of $I3l0, and
sentenced to hard labor at state prison
for one and one half and not more than
two years The prison term was sus-
pended and the prisoner placed under
the jurisdiction of Probation Officer
Olin A. Smith,
The arrest and trial Of Higgenbot-
ham followed a midnight joyride that
eliminated in the shooting of Durant
at 1870 o'clock a. m. Friday With
out the permission of his employer,
Pliny Fiske of the firm of Harvey,
Fiske & Company with offices at 80
Nassua St, New York City, he had
taken his large Cadillac touring car
and invited four Others to accompany
him, Louis Huey and William Hick-
bridge, bell boys at the lake hotel, Ed
mund Hurley, drummer in the hotel
orchestra, and Francis Kelley
After supper at Brandon, the five
started to return to the hotel by way
of the mountain road through Forest
dale When they came to the water
ing trough in front of Durants house
they stopped. Durant was awakened
by loud talking hearing threats that
the two younger members of the quin-
tet would be thrown into the trough in
event of their persisted refusal to
drink Something" Durant arose and,
wishing to obtain the license number
of the noisy automobile party fol-
lowed them as they drove off He
came up with them in front of the
Hawkins place on the lake shore where
they had alighted from their car and
were grouped in the road. AS he pass
ed them in his own machine he was
greeted with the fusillade from Hig-
genbotham's revolver One of the
three shots took effect in the feshy
part of his shoulder, Durant had not
exchanged a single word and the as
sault was wholly unprovoked
Higgenbotham was arrested and
spent Friday and the greater part of
Saturday in the county jail Mr.
Fiske retained Ira H. LaFleul as coun-
sci for his chauffeur and Mr. Durant
retained c. 1. Button The settlement
for damages was arranged before the
court hearing late in the afternoon In
the conversations in the anteroom the
singular viewpoint of the prisoner
employer quite surprised the arbitra-
tors. Mr. Fiske spoke in defense of
his chauffeur, and while not excusing
him for his use of the gun, said that
he would assist him in getting out of
the scrape. If the chauffeur had Sc
cretly taken the car in the evening
and he had learned of it, he said that
he would not have cared That Hig-
genbotham had been mixed up in the
shooting he did not consider sufficient |
reason to change his attitude.
Only one other member of the party |
was arrested Edmund Hurley, the
orchestra drummer. He was arraigned |
Friday afternoon and fined S. and |
costs of Sll60 for drunkenness, which
he paid.
