BOY PRISONER
TRIES TO END
LIFE BY HANGING
Ernest Venette, Charged
With Theft, Attempts
Suicide

Using a self-made moose, form
ed from strips of the blanket from
his cot, Ernest Venette, youthful
desperate who was recaptured
and placed in Caledonia County
Jail Wednesday afternoon after a
sensational daylight escape from
the Lamoille county Jail at Hyde
Park several days ago, attempted
to commit suicide in his cell short
ly after 9 o'clock this morning.
Edward w. Nealand, a fellow pris-
oner, discovered the boy in the act
of taking his life and Immediately
notified Sheriff Wilbur H. Worth
en- who summoned the aid of a
physician. An examination dis
closed that the youngster had not
proceeded far enough in his sui
eide attempt to cause any serious
affect upon his health. A close
watch, however, is being made
over the boy to prevent his doing
further damage to himself.
Venette, aged 16, whose home is
in Athol, Mass, was arrested in
Hyde Park on a larceny charge.
He was accused of stealing a horse
from farmer in that town. He
slipped away from the arrestine
officer, but was soon recaptured
and placed in the Jail at Hyde
Park. Venette was ragged and
dirty when taken into custody and
the sheriff decided he should have
a bath upon his arrival at the Jail.
The sheriff held the boys
clothes and gave him a nair of his
own trousers while he was taking
his bath. While the sheriff waited
downstairs the boy squeezed
through an 8 by II hole, used as a
ventilating shaft, dropping to the
basement below. From there he
crawled through the lattice work
under the porch which he broke
away. He made his way out of
town without arousing the suspic-
ions Of the residents. By the time
the sheriff discovered the escape
the boy was some distance away
and no clues were left behind him.
According to Venette's story as
told to a Caledonian-Record re-,
porter, who interviewed him in S
cell today, he went directly to Ca
bot, walking the entire way. He
begged enough food to keep HIM
going but was unable to find work
which he claimed he was seeking.
Reaching Danville he learned that
Clayton harrington, well to do
farmer in West Danville, was
looking for a hired man. The
youngster made his way to the
harrington home on Wednesday
but found the family away. George
Gee of Cabot and a friend happen
ed by in an automobile and took
notice of the ragged stranger.
Mr. Gee made the claim to Ven
cite that he was Mr.. harrington
and after making sure that the

YOUR PAPER WILL BE
LATE IN DELIVERY
DURING WORLD SERIES

During the World Series
the Caledonian-Record is re-
ceiving a play by play report
from the Polo Grounds in
New YORK furnished by the
Associated Press. We get the
direct report as fast as the
game is being played. The
games start about 2.15 and
conclude about 4.15. To cover
the series it will be necessary
to delay our regular press
time fully two hours on our
town editions. We are sure
that the delay in receiving the
paper is justified by the fact
that we give our readers all
the news of the day it happens
and they do not have to wait
until noon the next day to get
the Boston papers to find out
the outcome o fthe games.

(By S. D. Flora, deteoroIoEist.)

Mild weather. with a great deal of
sunshine prevailed over Kansas al
most all week, but there was no meas
urable fall of moisture, except a light,
dry snow in the eastern half on the
16-17th, according to the reports of
100 correspondents of the weather
bureau. The water that resulted from
melting this snow was too slight to do
more than temporary good as it gen
orally measured less than a tenth OF
an inch. Greeley county is still COW
cred with an inch of snow that fell
two weeks ago, but practically all the
rest of the western counties are bare
Temperatures were above freezing
week, but the latter part was colder,
with readings as low as degrees -
10 degrees above zero on the 18th.
Wheat, of course, has not made
much change, but the great majority
of correspondents report that the mild
weather, together with the recent
light to moderate falls of snow have
resulted in some improvement or at
least in the crop holding its own.
Wheat fields are furnishing much less
pasture than they usually do at this
season of the year. AS rule in the
western half and the extreme north
eastern portion it is not up enough to
make any pasture at all. In the south
east quarter and as far north as the
Kaw valley early stands and bottom
1leldS are making Ialr pasture. In the
southeastern counties, where the best
stands are found from 80 to 60 per
cent of wheat is furnishing pasture.
Despite the shortage of wheat pasture
there is plenty of rough feed for stock
in all parts of the state.
The soil is very dry everywhere,
some correspondents reporting it is the
driest known at this season for many
years past and this statement is borne
out by the exceptionally low stages OF
the principal rivers. Some blowing
has been done the past week but the
ground as a rule has been too dry for
that work.

CHRISTMAS PROGRAMS HELD
Topeka Schools Devote Afternoon to
Special Exercises

The children of various ward schools
of the city hiked off to school this
morning with unusual pep. They did
not even mind the weather, altho it
was the coolest morning of the season.
They were all eager to attend the
Christmas assemble and exercises
which were held in the class rooms
today. These exercises have been one
of the uppermost thoughts in the mind
of the school children for Several days.
The entire afternoon was devoted to
Christmas exercises in a number OF
cases. In many schools two class
rooms held joint programs The pro-
grams included readings, speaking of
pieces, dialogues. the singing of the
favorite school songs, and few selec-
lions sung by the class room quartet.
In the schools where there is a phono-
graph. each class room borrowed it for
an allotted time.
When the school bells rang at
O'Clock, announcing the closing of the
schools until Tuesday, January 8. the
teachers said, Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year, and the pupils re-
turned in chorus, "the same to you.'
