Coventry Girl
Tells Strange Story
of Automobile Ride

Miss Bessie Rayne, the 18-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Raync
of Coventry, was found lying uncon-
scious in the road, and partially in the
bushes in the village of Coventry at
10 o'clock Monday night. She was
discovered by Mr.. and Mrs. Frasier of
Orleans who were returning in their
car from Newport and Mr.. Frasier al
most ran over her. They took her to
Henry Cleveland's home and DR.. c.
w. Templeton of Irasburg was called.
She soon recovered consciousness and
told rather incoherent story.
She said at point on the Newport
Coventry road near the watering
trough in the Coventry woods an au-
tomobile containing two men stopped
and the men invited her to ride. At
first she refused, but after much urg-
ing she accepted their invitation, She
said she knew nothing further that
happened until she recovered con-
seriousness at the Cleveland home.
The young girl is now at her home
with her parents on the Dow farm
and is believed to have recovered
from any ill effects of her strange ad-
venture concerning which she refuses
to make clear many of the cirtum-
stances

MOFFETT HELD
IN JAIL ON
SERIOUS CHARGE
Accused of Being an Accom-
plice in an Assault at
WOOdsville Sunday

William Moffett, a Vermont pro
bationer who has been working OF
Sheriff w. H. Worthen's farm il
Waterford, is now in the Woodsville
Jail facing the charge of assault or
Sammy Ducca of Woodsville Sunday
night.
SonfStimc SUNDAY Moffett went to
Woodsville and fell in with Mel
burne Arnold OF East Haverhill The
two young men engaged Sammy Due
ca OF Woodsville to drive them to
Bethlehem and return. On the re-
turn trip about 10 o'clock Sunday
night, according to Ducca's story
when short distance south OF
Lisbon VILLAGE, Moffett, who had
been riding in the rear seat with Ar
mold, volunteered to sit in the front
seat with him and assist with the
driving.
At the Boston and Maine railroad
underpass Ducca was dealt a crush
ing blow on the head with a hammer
from the rear, so he believes. The
next thing he remembered was that
his pockets were being rifled by MOI
felt. Me at once showed fight and
after he gained possession of the
hammer his assailants took to their
heels and escaned in the darkness.
With blood streaming down the
side of his head and saturating his
clothing, Ducca drove to Woodsville
and reported to the authorities. Sew
eral stitches werc required to close
the wound in Ducca's head
Deputy sheriffs started out at once
on an all night search in Bath, Lisbon
and East Haverhill and finally loca-
ted the boys near Franconia village.
They surrendered without trouble
and it is expected they will be given
hearing in Woodsville Tuesday
Arnold has been working on an ice
team in Woodsville. Moffett is a
Woodsville boy who was charged
with breaking into the railroad sta
ton at South Ryegate on the night
of April Ia and taking over $50 in
railroad and express money and the
station agents gold watch. He was
fined 500 bv Judge Butler in Called
onia county court on July and given
a sentence in the house of correction
at Windsor of not less than one year
or more than two years. The court
then suspended the sentence and
placed him on probation.

AUGUST MILK
PRICE FIXED
AT TEN CENTS
New England Milk Produc-
ers' Assn Fix Prices
Farmers Lose Half CT.

The August milk price will be II
cents per quart delivered in Boston
| This is the REGULAR seasonal advance
of one-half cent which the farmers
who supply the Boston market re-
ceNe and while it brings the Augsut
price higher than it was last year
the advance is not in proportion to
the increased costs and the farmers
who sell in the Boston market will
not get back the cost of production
at the present abnormal prices of
grain and labor.
The Boston price fixes the price
in many other smaller cities in New
England as there is a rather general
practice that smaller cities shall fol-
low the Boston p1.ce. This system
grew up ruring the war when the
prices to both farmers and to con-
sumers were fixed bv the Federal
Regional Milk commission which held
its sessions in Boston. Other cities
simply followed the Boston price set
by the commission. The commission
does not now exist but the system,
SO far as the price to the farmers
is concerned is still general.
The 10 cent price to the farmers
was arrived at after long and care
full study of the situation by the New
England Milk Producers association,
the selling agent of the farmers.
Sulyery have shofn that tho cost of
producing milk has advanced mater
iallv and full cent a quart advance
would no more than e"'Ial the increas-
ed costs of reduction as compared
with last year. 1t was thought best,
however, to make an advance of only
one-half cent, the same as in the
three ee-pfevious years -
The surveys of costs showed that
the average for the wear, at the pre-
sent prices of feeds, labor and ma
terials, would be 982 cents per quart
at the farm. The actual cost in
August are 90 per cent lower than
for the year as a whole, according to
averages of cost production of sew
eral years. Deducting this from the
yearly average leaves the August
cost of milk production sol cents per
quart at the farm.
Prices for the Boston market are
fixed on the delivered basis. The cost
of delivery to Boston varies with the
distance and with other factors, but
the average is 1.52 cents per quart
for bringing milk to Boston. This
is the actual cost at 200 miles from
Boston. That is the average dis
tance from which the Boston supply
comes. Adding this cost to the farm
cost gives 10.43 cents per quart which
the farmers should receive to come
out square in Au~ust
7 The New England Milk Producers
association was unwillino to make
the advance of the full cent a cuart
in August although the figures SEEM
ed to justify it. 1t was decided to-

STOLEN TIRES
ARE LOCATED
in BOSTON
Quick Work Results in Re-
cOvery of Harry DOlgin's
Stolen Property

Swift work bv Sheriff Worthen anC
chief Finley of st. Johnsbury has
resulted in the recovery by Harry
| Dolgin of the tires stolen from his
garage early Monday morning, and
the apprehension of the thief is eX,
pccted soon. The tires were locatec
Monday in Boston and positively i'd
entitled by Dolgin on Tuesday morn
inS.
As soon as he was notified of the
robbery the sheriff, working in con-
junction with the local police, sent
word of the theft to all parts of the
country. He received telephone
call later on Monday mornin" from
| Plymouth, N. H., sayino that early
in the morning an unknown truck
had passed THROUGH with load of
tires PARTIAL conceled.
James. r. Woods, a Boston detcc-
tive agent, was Immediately notified
from here, and later in the day he
tclcgranhcd that about so tires had
been located in Boston. Harry Dol
gin took the midnight train Monday
night to identity his property, and at
11.30 Tuesday morning he telephoned
that he had positively identife
through their serial numbers so of
his tires, and that he had also receiv-
ed tire accessories, tubes and spark
plugs which were taken.
David Grapes of Lyndonville, whose
garage in that place was entered and
burglarized some time ago, was mott
cd to come to Boston and see if could
identify any of the tires as his. Word
was sent to the sheriff to have war
rants for the arrest of one Albion
Bradley made out at once. When
brought trial Bradley will have to
answer to several charges.
Tie burglary was quite evidently
not the act of any one individual.
The police of Boston think that the
man apprehended for the work here
is only one of a group operating
throughout New England. The man
who received the stolen goods in Bos-
ston is to be arrested Tuesday after
noon, and investigation NAV indicate
that the burglary in St. Johnsbury
has led to the discovery of an organ
lied band of tire thieves, perhaps
working in connect:kn with the auto
mobile thieves known to be cooper
ating in Boston and vicinity.
Sheriff Worthen gocs to Boston
Wednesday nioht to brine back with
him Albion Bradley for trial. The
man was still at large when the in
formation came Monda-- morning
but Boston police evidently felt that
they could lay their hands on him
as soon as desired.
