for the December term of Bennington
county court. No request for a
change in bail was made and the
amount was left at $4,000 as fixed by
Judge Meagher few days ago.
Ever since the sl0oting there have
been rumors Of a long-standing
grudge between the deputy county
fish and game warden and the man
who has been at the Cambridge, n.
Y, hospital with a bullet in his brain,
speeches. and afflicted with paraly-
sis from which surgeons give little
hope Tor complete recovery. The
wounded mans brother, Henry
Squires, testified to a threat made
four years ago by Mears and similar
testimony was given by Henry's
housekeeper, Hattie Haley.
Some OF the statements made by
the warden at the time of his arrest
on the day following the shooting
We're refuted by the victim wife who
was examined at length by Collins
NJ. Graves, counsel for Mears. When
placed in custody by Sheriff Perry
b. Gardner the warden testified that
the shooting followed an attempt to
arrest Squires who had been appre-
hended in the act of shaking a rae
coon out of tree before the end OF

took place Mrs. Squires also main

by her husband, hound and a shep
herd, we're in the house on the night
OF the shooting
One of Mears' statements following
his arrest, that Squires had been
drinking on the night he was shot was
substantiated by Frank Woodard
neighbor, who testified that he
helped to carry the wounded man
into the house and that bottle fell
out of Squires' coat pocket.
1t is not yet known whether the
case will require session of the
grand jury in connection with the
next term of county court to be held
here States Attorney George A.
Mathers may consider the evidence
sufficient to warrant the filing OF an
information.

Mr. Cooper, who was ,r.st 81 by
the county agent, Willlam T. ga tout
spoke for over an hour and held the
close attention of his audience. HI
talk was exceptionally practical, the
views of a man whose business was
the production Of milk and hogs and
who had long been giving much
thought to the problems that confront
every agricultural land owner in the
country.
in the beginning. the speaker sought
to impress upon his audience the fact
that the farm bureau was their organ

fit with every dollar Of its funds ex.
pended for their beiefit. and that
should look to no other source than
themselves for its support.
Mr. Cooper's main theme was the
absolute necessity for co operation

producing the desired results. Mr..
Cooper stated that the banner farm

Actor.Manager Coming to Bennington
Opera House Wednesday Evening
Few, if any of the dramatic offer
ings Of the present day, are more wor
thy OF the consideration OF the dis
eliminating theatre-goer, than the at
traction scheduled for Wednesday,
November 9. at the Opera House, the
occasion being the appearance OF
Americas romantic actor. Lou Telle-
gen. who, in person with his own
company and under his own manage
ment will present his American sue
cess "Blind Youth" a comedy drama
in three acts, from his own pen in
collaboration with Willard Mack, and
which enjoyed long run at the S9th
street Theatre in New York city.
Blind Youth tells the story OF
the inability Of q young artist to dis
tinguish between false and genuine
love. 1t is the revelation of how he
is guided by his impulses rather than
his reason in bestowing his affection.
From this mistake comes sorry CON
sequences and from the regeneration
he gains. comes great and lasting hap
piness. It is life-like, in that 1t has
it's moments of laughter as well as
its moments of pain, but the inn
pulse of the story is to the Joy OF life.
