George Garneau, IA, Was
Hit By Rock While
Climbing Rope
TWO OTHER BOYS
WERE NOT STRUCK
Rock, Loosened Fro m
Quar-, Broke and
Struck Him

George Garneau, the l4-year-old son
of Mrs. 0dule Gilbert of Graniteviiie,
was almost instantly killed Sunday
afternoon about 1920 while playing
about quarry No. 7 of the Boutwell,,
Milne & Varnum Co. with several 9th
er playmates.
He. with Henry Adams and Theo-
dore Vivien, were climbing ont OF the
40. foot quarry hole by means OF the
guy ropes, repeating stunt that had
been. accomplished by other lads with
him. Young Adams was above him on
the rope and young Vivien below him
vet the big granite chip, which was
loosened from the edge of the quarry
hole and broke into several pieces when
it struck the quarry wall in descend
ing. struck only young Garneau.
The chip was originally about foot
square and when a large portion OF
this struck him upon the head his skull
was crushed terribly. The lad was near
the bottom of the quarry so he dropped
but a few feet and his comrade, young
yiyien. held him in his arms as he
passed away before DrNG. l.. I. Hayes
could arrive upon the scene.
Strangely enough the motive which
caused him and his playmates to visit
the quarry was to visit the spot where
his father, Phelix Garneau, was fa-
tally injured eight years ago, not 300
feet from where the lad was Killed. The
fathers death followed about a month
after he was crushed under a gront car
and load cf granite waste, WHICH
tipped upon him. The boys had visited
the scene and then climbed down into
the quarry hole.
George Garneau was born in Gran
iteville April 28. 1907. He has for the
past few years been beloved student
at the convent in Graniteville, where
he attended school in the seventh
grade. Besides his parents, Mr.. and

MEMORIAL SUNDAY
EXERCISES IMPRESSIVE
Veterans and Allied Organizations At
tended Services at Baptist
Church.

Sunday morning at l0:30 members
of Crandall post, No SO, G. A. r., the
sons of veterans, the G. A. X. ladies
and the Sons of Veterans Auxiliary
attended worship at the Baptist church,
where Rev. B. j. Lehigh, pastor of the
church, had prepared special Memo
rial day sermon. Special memorial mu-
sic by the choir and orchestra was also
feature of the service.
All the patriotic organizations were
well represented. Especially pleasing
was the presence of II gray-haired vet
Grams of the War of the Rebellion. Six
teen sons of veterans turned out, while
the ladies present were well representa-
tive of their orders. An impressive pic
ture was created when the old soldiers,
gray of hair, tottering in step and
shaking in limb marched down the
church aisle to take their place in the
pews reserved for them, and when
again they made their exit while the
remainder of the congregation waited
through their departure.
Rev. Lehigh in a particularly EN-
phatic and clear delivery, carried the
deep significance of the days meaning
to the congregation. The speaker paid
deep respect to the memory of those
soldiers of all wars living and dead who
went out to give their all for the sake
of nation, especially extolling the gal
liant work of the Grand Army of the
Republic. and, in turn, bringing his
words to bear equally on the soldiers
of the Revolution and the late war,
without neglecting the immortal deeds
of those of the other three American
wars.
He touched on the topic of the Amer
lean Memorial day as it affected the in,
dividuals of the American nation in
four different aspects. On first thought,
he said we are reminded of the great
Civil war between the north and the
south. one of the most destructive dew
astating and bloody Of all wars OF all
times We are reminded of the great
battles Of Vicksburg, Antietam, the
death rending of the Wilderness, and
the slaughter of Gettysburg. On sec
ond thought there is brought to mind
the all sacrificing spirit of those, men
and bows. who went forth that this ma
tion should not be one half free and
one half slave, that to generations un-
born there should be heritage Of free
dom, not Of slavery At this point the
pastor did not forget nor omit the he
roisfr OF the women, nor their part in
the sacrifices of the age
Again we are brought to realize the
blessings Of peace. And, last, this day
of memory and reverence brings home
most forcefully the need Of true
Christian patriotism, a. patriotism
based on the teachings Of Jesus Christ
and one which cannot be bought nor
sighted.

YECCS QUIT JAIL
BY FRONT DOOR
Frank Cassidy and George Edwards
Are Believed to Have Had AS
sistance in Flight.

Frank Cassidy and George Edwards,
two slick crooks who tried to break out
of Washington county Jail, then turned
meek when detected and finally on Sat
urday were sentenced to the house OF
correction for two years for attempted
Jail breaking, found their way out OF
the Jail Sunday night and for nearly
two DAYS have been at liberty. 1t is
possible that they received outside as
sistance while Sheriff and Mrs. r. H.
Tracy were in Chelsea decorating
graves of some relatives.
Sheriff Tracy has offered a reward
of 5000 to the person offering evidence
which will lead to the capture OF the
men. 1t is probable that the men have
separated, at least for the time being.
They were originally arrested on sus-
pieion of having been the yeggmen VINO
broke into the store and railroad sta
ton at Middlesex and several stores at
Richmond, and articles found in their
possession were identified as having
come from Richmond.
Railroad officials in Vermont ana
New Hampshire were notified OF the
flight of the men and reports began
to come in promptly. One stated that
two men were seen near Browns Mills,
two at Montpelier Junction ana Two
at Middlesex; but thus far there has
been no satisfactory identification OF
the men. The men left the jail shortly
after supper Sunday evening. They
were to have been taken to-day TO the
house of correction.
Various persons in the jail have been
given Il searching examination TO re-
veal what they know about the depart
ure of the yeggs; but there was little
result except to form the opinion that
the men were assisted Zeb Carbo tells
the story of having been given key
into the cage where the men were kept
in order that he might wash the dishes
and sink in that room. he says the
men walked back and forth behind
him until, after he had the work near
ly finished. he turned around and found
they were gone Carbo thought the men
might have hidden away in the cage
but when he found the error OF his sus-
picion he went upstairs. Nor were the
men there. Then Carlo reported the
disappearance and the search was in
stituted. Meanwhile Sheriff Tracy re-
turned. 1t was determined that the
men went out the front entrance and
left no trace.
Three men in Jail are being given a
severe griIling now and then, but thus
far they have given no hint that would
lead anyone to connect them with the
Jail flight of Cassidy and Edwards.

rules. When ball was Knocked

CKOSS TREES
Word From Capt. Alden
Geel of the Boat Elsie Is
Anxiously Awaited-The
Fact that the Elsie Has
Not Reported Is Taken
to Be Good News.

Gloucester, Mass, May 3l.--Stlll
without adyices of their own to-day,
the local owners of the schooner Esper-
anto found in press dispatches OF the
foundering in Nova Scotia waters OF
the craft that was Gloucester's PRIDE
indications that Captain Tom Benham
and his crew of 20 men were safe II
was not only hope, they said, 1t was
a conviction.
The process of deduction followed by
most of Gloucester, based on knoWl-
edge of Gloucester men and their ships
led to the belief that the Esperanto >
crew were taken Oft by Captain Alden
Geel, himself Gloucester man, and the
crew of the schooner Elsie. The Elsie
was the schooner with first found the
international race winner submerged
to cross trees mile and one-halt south
of Sable Island yesterday, but which
had left here before a Canadian patrol
shiprarrived.
Russell Smith, part-owner OF the
Gorton Pew Fisheries Co, who sailed
with the Esperanto when she captured
the cup at Halifax last fall, concedlng
that the hope was father to the
thought, nevertheless said he was
strongly of the opinion that Captain
Tom and his men were safe. His deduc-
tions were virtually those of all
Gloucester
The fact that the Esperanto was
sunk TO her cross-trees so close TO
the island to his mind meant that she
had struck sand bar and filed. Such
an accident ordinarily would give the
crew ample time to get clear. The Elsie
which found the Esperanto, is Cor

another of the captains courageous
sailing out of Gloucester with Captain
Benham for many years. The men were
friends, almost chums.
Captain Geel would not leave the
Esperanto's side as soon unless he had
assured himself of the safety of his
friend and the latter's crew, it was be
lieved; these considerations being add
ed to those which would prompt any
skipper to do all possible to save ship

major premises pointed strongly TO
