Two Men Named Henry Taylor in Cas-
tleton-Forging Claimed Mistake.

Rutland, Nov. 20. Because Henry
Il. Taylor, veteran of the World war
and Henry Taylor, survivor OF the
Civil war, both lived in Castleton, the
former is confined at the Rutland coun-
ty jail in default of $50 bail and will
have to answer in the United States

years old and teamster, was arrested
at Brandon by Deputy United States
Marshal Frank H. Chapman of this

the amount of bail being fixed.
The offensc is alleged to have been
committed last December. Taylor ad-
mitted that he received check for Sl2.
endorsed it with the name Henry Tay-
Ior, which was on the face, and cashed
ii at a Castleton store, thinking that
ii belonged to him. He had been re-
eeivinp government checks for disabil-
itv in service. and when this one was
delivered to him through the mail he
thought it his, reasoning that the sari-
ance in the amount as compared with
former checks, was due to the fact that
he was receiving extra compensation,
which he had expected. Mr. Taylor
remained in Castleton for months aft
er cashing the check. not knowing that
he had done anything wrong, as he
claims, until inquiries were made
weeks afterwards, when Henry Tay-
lor. the Civil war veteran, did not re-
eeive his pension check. due the De-
cember before A government repre-
sentative made an investigation and
the result was the arrest.
Henry II. Taylor served in the l7lst
depot brigade during the World war.
He was also in The 9th U. s. cavalry
for three years prior to the war.
He was married about two months
ago. He has served term OF three
months in state prison for receiving

WINTER SPORTS PLANS
Include a Toboggan Shute on Trow
Hill.

The 1922 winter may be the hum

will hold mighty few terrors for Barre.
The winter sports committee OF the
Board Of Trade is mobilizing all the re-
sources of the city to combat hing
Winter and from the outlook now the
more ice and cold and snow the more
fun for Barre.
The committee met yesterday after
noon and dwelt at length on plans Tor
a tobopgan chute on Trow hill. A
sketch Of the proposed chute was cS-
hibited and even the most casual
glance at it made one feel the bite and
roar Of the wind and hear the smooth,
sliding crunch of wood on hardpacked
snow. The chute will be Is feet high
and 40 feet long. 1t will be vide
enough for two toboggans to slip along
side by eide and the end will be grad
ed to the ground with snow apd lce-
The impetus from this chute will be
more than sufficient to send tie tobog-
gans down the hill, across Nelson and
Camp streets to the Lincoln school
back door. A slide for a princel
The committee is making estimates
on the cost to build the chute and as
soon as definite figures have been de-
termined upon the matter viii be laid
before the board of directors OF the
Board of Trade for whatever action
may be decided upon. In the event the
chute is erected 1t will be necessary TO
request the city TO close Nelson street.

a trestle will probably have to be built
as the road passes through cut here.

HOLDUP TOOK

OF THE OFFICE
After Snatching Bag Con-
tanning the Money the
Robbers Backed Away,
Firing AS They Made
Their Way to Waiting
Automobile

Chelsea. Mass, Nov. 26.--Four armed
bandits held up and robbed two mes
sengers from the First National bank
of Boston as they were delivering a
pavroll Of SIS, s,444 to the A. g. Walton
and company shoe factory here to-day
They escaped in an automobile under
fire. One of the bandits was thought to
have been wounded by G. nj. Pompeyi
guard for the messengers.
No trace OF the men had been found
several hours after Thea holdup, al
though police in surrounding cities and
towns posted guards promptly on all
principal thoroughfares.
The bandit car bore New York
number which, it was learned later,
was false. 1t was thought that the
men might have slipped through the
police Gordon by changing their mum
Der plates.
The robbers missed five other pay
rolls in the bank automobile.
The police were inclined to couple
with the escape Of the bandit automo-
bile a report from the police Of Wey-
mouth that men in an automobile
speeding over the turnpike there fired
at two telephone linemen. The descrip-
ltion Of the cars agreed, there were
four men in each, and the time OF the
Weymouth incident made it possible
for an automobile travelling at high
speed to have covered the distance be-
tween Chelsea and Weymouth.
The local police later found witness
who said he was certain there was a
woman in the rear seat of the robbers
automobile.
Colonel Foote, head of the state po-
lice force, sent word broadcast that
All the forces of his office had been on
the alert to apprehend the fugitives.

London Newspapers Cry Out Against
Renewed Bloodshed.

London, Nov. 26.--(By the Asso-
ciated Press) A chorus Of vigorous
protest against renewal Of warfare IN
Ireland in the event the present peace
negotiations collapse is expressed in
the morning newspapers to-day, after
the meeting yesterday between Premier
Lloyd George and Sir James Craig,
Ulster premier. In this conference the
British cabinet chief informed Sir
James that Sim Fein Ireland has re-
fused to swear allegiance to the crown
in return for an Ulster agreement to
enter an all-Ireland parliament. The
from this refusal calls forth the refer
ences to a possible recurrence OF hostil
tiles.
"The government cannot engage in
civil war with the Irish nation, if the
people of Great Britain are determined
that there shall be no war;" declares
the Daily News, adding; "That is the
dominant factor of the situation
The Daily Herald, the labor organ,
SAYS; "a new war would outrage the
morals of. the whole world and would
never receive the sanction OF the
British people. The trades union and
labor movement must resist to the ut
most reference to the arbitrament of
forces"
The men of all parties are urged by
the Daily Express to rally to the de-
Tense of an Irish settlement.
The Westminster Gazette says it be-
lieves the British people are quite de
termined not to fight anybody in Ire
land in the interests of anybody else
in Ireland"
Further developments are awaited
with the keenest anxiety. the news
papers generally finding little comfort
in the outlook beyond the fact that
