AFTERNOON SESSION

AFTERNOON SESSION
 The sf.ernon session of court in the trial of the case against H. E. wootten, was marked by number of interesting oeeurances chiefly several clashes of attor- neys for both sides during the ex- animation of jurors.
 Out of 41 veniremen examined up to $40. when the court an- nounced a recess for ten minutes onIy two more were added to the list, with the ruling on another reserved by the court. This left the panel with 1s out of the re- ouired 24, and possibly not over a dozen more taIesmen on the list to be called.
 When court convened at 2 o. clock the question of more jurors was brought up by the proseeu- ton. and considerable discussion followed several plans being dis eussed, principally the plan of drawing 500 men, 100 to report each day. Following considerable argument the court deferred ae- ton on this point.
 The two veniremen passed and accepted on the panel were wm. A. lythe a dry farmer living near Douglas and T. C. Haney- re- siding at PirtIevilIe. Both were passed after close questioning by both sides.
 Another feature which marked the afternoon proceedings was the attitude of chief Prosecutor A. 4. WorsIey when a number of times he passed jurors without examination, and they were ehaI- Ienaed by the defense.
 When R. s. Thompson, brake r..n on the 6. p. ( S. W. was called and was challenged by the sesense, the state resisted, owing

Vermont Horses

Vermont is getting back some of her
former reputation as a state of fine
horses, as the war department is plan
ming to make buying tour in the
state next month, seeking Morgan
horses for the army. There was once
a day when Vermont was famous for
her maple sugar, her women and her
horses, as the poet declared. The state
has always maintained its reputation
for maple sugar and for women, and it
is now making progress toward re-
claiming the reputation for fine horses.
For this latter improvement the state
is undoubtedly indebted in large
measure to the Morgan Horse club Of
Vermont which has been putting out
great deal of effort during the last
few years to bring the Morgan horse
back into notice and into public favor
through breeding of that strain.
