this has always been her home. For
years she was a school teacher.
On June II, 1899 she was united
in marrige to Nathan S. Allen of
this place, Mr.. Allen died about a
year and a half ago. Their home life
was ideal, place where young and
old delighted to go.
While young girl Mrs. Allen
joined the Congregational church here
and she always gave freely of time,
thought and material aid for the be-
nefit of the society. For years she
has been in failing health and her
death was due to old age. She was
lovingly cared for by Miss Ella ALL

her home there for nearly twelve
years and whom Mr. and Mrs. Allen
loved as aSdaughter. All Mrs. AL

Guilty of Embezzlement.

A sentence of four to seven years
at hard labor in State Prison was inn
posed Tuesday on Frank G.. Rowland
of Barre, president of the Barre Saw
ings Bank & Trust Co., after he had
pleaded guilty to embezzlement of the
banks funds. The charges on which
he was arrested set his thefts at $685.
$50, but when Rowland objected to an
item of $10,500 his admission of guilt
was accepted on the other four counts
aggregating $15,4S5.
Rowland suffered a partial collapse
when sentence was pronounced. He
had asked that he be fined instead of
imprisoned, SO that he might be able
to assist in Strengthening out the af-
fairs of the institution, with which
he had been connected for years and
which was closed as a result of his
thefts five weeks ago.
He said he had not profted by his
manipulation of the funds, which had
covered a period of four years.
Rowland is so years of age. He
has served in both branches of the
Vermont Legislature and has been ac-
tive in local affairs.

Officer Jones

L. B. Jones, customs officer in
charge of port at Island Pond was in

peared before United States Commits
sioner, Walter-2H. Cleary, charged
with having and disposing of liquors,
gave their names as John Plutell,
Henry Bishop and George E. Gray all
of whom claimed to live in the town
of Holland. They waived examina-
tion and were placed under $500 bail
each to appear before the United
States Court.
Information that has been secured
shows the parties had been transport
ing liquors to Island Pond where they
found a ready market for same. When
caught they had in their possession
in the vicinity of so quarts of sealed
whiskey. The team used on this trip
was the property of George Gray. Of
ficer Jones seized, also the whiskey
which was loaded in the sleigh. Mr..
Smith furnished bail for Plutell, and
Ernest Cass of this city went surety
for George Gray. Gray, who is
farmer in Holland and owns property

It is understood that the whiskey
which they were transporting and
disposing of at Isand Pond was not
smuggled across by them but was pro-
cured by another party who brought
it to them.

faith in the future and Mr.. Kidder
