LYNDON BOYS -
DEFEAT THE
BURLINGTON TEAM
Wins Saturdays Game
BY Securing Two
TOuchdOWns

Lyndon Institute defeated Bur-
lington high school at Lyndon
Center Saturday, by two touch
downs, thereby taking one more
step toward the state champion
ship. Burlington is rated as hay
ing Stronger team .han S.. Al
bans or Spaulding high of Barre,
having been defeated in the last
minute of play by the University
of Vermont freshman 60, and are
playing such teams as Middlebury
Freshman and Goddard Seminary.
Burlington arrived here Friday
night, and made the remark that
they had come here for practice
game, and felt that they would not
have any difficulty in squelching
the Lyndon outfit. They appeared
on the Campus at 2.45 and while
running signals looked more ike
a college outfit than a high school
They looked smoother than the
Red and White, and outweighed
the home team by Is pounds to the
man. Their trick plays ran very
smooth but in the Institute lne
they found a lot of scrappy play
ers that they did not expect, and
before many plays had passed they
were very much surprised to find
that their tricks were being smoth-
cred with litt'a gain, as Lyn Ions
line was breaking through much
faster than they ever expected.
They boasted of having TIE best
center in New England for high
schools, but in Dresser he found
his match who repeatedly broke
through, and smothered play after
play.
Lyndon's ends who have been so
weak up to date gave 4 good ac-
count Of themselves, and gave
their coach a big surprise to sec
low they smashed the really Wen

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE
government, through it's various
departments, began today a survey
of the situation as developed by
the call of railroad labor unions
for a general strike beginning Oc-
tober 80. Officials from President
Harding down were known to be
watching the situation closely,
Postmaster Hays, in the only pub
lie statement, declared "The mails
will be moved" White House and
other officials decline to comment
on reports that the President
might call the railroad unions
chiefs to Washington for confer
ence.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 1.-THE

was a stakeholder, for several years.
He was married about fifty years ago

He leaves to mourn his loss, the wife

GRAnf|ED At QUICK.
WORK OF OFFICERS.
Trio Of Store Breakers
in the County Jail
Out of State Men Captured by Sherin
M0oers and Deputies and
Each Plead Guilty

Three husky men, claiming out-oi-
state residences are at the county Jali
for the summer and the business men
of Somerset county. especially those
around NorridgeWock and North An
son are gratified at the fine work Of,
Sheriff Mooers and his deputies, whose
quick work 1t was that put the men be
hind the bars. Early last week the
stores OF Porter Il Marston, the VII
liams Gents Furnishings store ana
the Murray Dry Goods store, all OF
North Arson were burglarzed and
goods taken, roughly estimated at Sl00.
Entrance was gained IN each case by
cutting out glass from the rear WIN
dows. Sheriff Mooers was immediate
ly notified after the discovery of the
break and he directed Deputy Tuscan
of Scion to proceed to Bingham and
watch the railroad and highways and
to return to North Arson watching for
any strangers. This resulted in the
locat ng of three rough looking men
at Scion that night before going to
North Arson. Later pair of men S
overalls In good condition were found
on the railroad south of North Arson.
Following this lead Deputy Sheriff
George A. Clark of North Arson and
Deputy Tuscan were stationed in the
Oakland railroad yard. Deputy Miller
and an aid at Norridgewock railroad
bridge while Sheriff Mooers got in
ouch with the Waterville police, it
being believed by him that the men
would stay in hiding in the woods dur
ing the day and travel by night. This
proved true ara at 1915 the same
n ght. three men walked from the rail-
road bridge at Norridgewock and were
met by Deputy Miller's gun when all
three promptly put up their hands.
They were handcuffed and at once
brought to Jail at one a. m. A careful
search disclosed many small articles
of value on their person and in bun
dies. Each had on new shoes, shirts
and pants, taken from the Murray
store. They gave their names as Ar
thur T.. Roberts, East Boston, James A.
Williams, st. Louis, Mo-, and Charles
NJ. Rooney of Salisbury. Mass. The
men claimed to have been In this sec
ton looking for work.
When arraigned before Judge Saw
yer at North Arson each man pleaded
guilty and al three men were held
for the grand jury in the sum of $500
each. 1t is believed by Sheriff Mooers
that these men are old offenders, after
carefully inspecting their methods;
also he believes 1t likely that they are
the men who made the break at the
Bracket & Russell store in Norridge-
wock, the week before. Bracket q
Russell sustained the loss of small
amount of money, a quantity OF eat
ables, tobacco and cigars.

Sound Your Horn

The great increase in automobile
traffic makes ii especially necessary
that caution be observed ut all times.
Drivers should not be content with
complying with legal regulations but
should be even more thoughtful than
required IN view of the increasing dan
ger to cars their occupants and ped
estrians. The custom of sounding
horns at corners and at street inter
sections should be revived This is q
traffic regulation which has fallen
somewhat into disuse but the custom
should be again taken up.
