muer's home to talk with her about
the matter and when told how the mar

he did act little that way, but not
noticeably SO. when taking into consid-
GRAFTON that he was supposed to have

John H. Stone, city grand juror of
Montpelier, has presented to Judge z.

bile to be operated without number
| plates, although the car may be reg
istered. These are presented as tend
ing to show that there is merit in the
| complaint which Mr.. Stone filed and

dismiss; and it looks as though if the
| case went against the state it would
be carried to supreme court, to test
out the fine points of the law on the
