point about II is this. that 1t was
an American idea that had
brought President Wilson to act

entered into the practice as the
war was over. and our conditions

last longer, otherwise we would
be losing less and less and Gen.

losing more and more. But make
up your mind that in the armis-
tice, in the treaty, and all that
followed there was a great share
of pure American work. For in

c. w. Heath of Danville
For High BaiIiff

The last office to be voted for
Oh the county list is that of High
Bailiff. This is not because it is
OF the least Importance, but some
one has to be last and this is the
one In point of fact the office of
high bailitf is an important one,
not because of its primary duties,
but because of its possibilities, like
that of vice president or lieuten-
ant governor. If anything happens
to the high sheriff to incapacitate
him for the duties of his office, the
high bailiff takes his place. The
high bailff is usually one of the
sheriff's most trusted deputies.
All this being the case, the
voters do well to look carefully to
the proposed candidates for the
place. This year a well-known
Danville man, c. w. Heath, has
announced his candidacy for the
Office. "Chan' has been one of
Sheriff Worthen's active deputies
and is familiar with the duties of
the Office and has a wide-acquaint-
ance throughout the country. He
would no doubt make a good bail
if' and will probably receive the
nomination without much opposi-
ton.

WOMAN STUNNED
BY BOLT OF
LIGHTNING
Houses in GOss Hollow
and st. JOhnsbury
Struck

The heavy rain, dense blackness
and sharp lightning of Monday af-
ternoon's storm seemed to center
its fury in Goss Hollow though
several sections of st. Johnsbury
were hit hard and North Danville
also came in for share of the
lightning's play. The farm home
of R. j. BrOuillard in North Dan
vile, was struck, and set on fire
and Mrs. Brouillard was severely
shocked. The woman was knocked
down and was unconscious for
several hours. Her condition is
somewhat improved today but she
is still suffering from the effects.
Neighpors rushed to the assistance
of the Brouillards and the fire was
soon extinguished. The nearby
farm owned by Henry Wilson and
occupied by 4 family named Par
ker also felt the fury of the storm.
Mrs. Parker was badly stunned by
the lightning, but quickly recover
ed. In North Danville the electric
light wires were put out of COM
mission and the village was in
darkness.
During the heavy thunder~show-
er lightning struck the residence
of d. w. Paul on Boynton hill,
formerly the Mackinnon house,
and the shock was so severe that
several of the neighbors thought
their own house was struck and
Immediately went around their
homes to see If there was any
fire.
The bolt ripped a big hole in
the roof scattering bits of
shingles all over the hill. The
hole in the roof is about three feet
in diameter and some of the bricks
in the chimney were knocked off.
The bolt evidently entered the at
tic as the wires are badly messed
up. From there it is believed it
went outdoors and followed the
water conductor pipe down into
the ground. Fortunately the house
did not catch on fire.
Mr.. Paul had left about an hour
before the storm for the family's
old home at East Berkshire and
Mrs. Paul was down street and
knew nothing Of the affair until
she returned home. Three children
were in the house at the time of
the affair and though somewhat
frightened did not lose their
heads.

JUDGE MOULTON
HEARSDUNNETTE
CHANCERY CASE
Validity of Act Creating
Trust Estate Matter
i'm Controversy

The chancery case of Mrs. Ella
Dunnett against the trustees of the
estate of her husband, the late
Alexander Dunnett of St. Johns
bury, was begun before Judge
Sherman r. Moulton of Burlington
as chancellor in Caledonian coun-
ty court Tuesday morning.
Charles A. Shields and David
S. Conant of St. Johnsbury. MI
Dunnett's former partners in the
law firm of Dunnett, Shields q
Conant, were made the trustees of
his estate in a deed of trust eXecu-
ted May u, 1920. A will executed
before that date has been duly pro-
bated. Mrs. Dunnett presented a
bill against the estate amounting
to some thing like $2400, and it
was allowed by the commissioners.
Judge f. NJ. Harvey of Mont
pelier is the administrator Of Mr..
Dunnett's estate under the will.
He and J. r. Searles of ST. Johns
bury represent Mrs. Dunnett in her
present action to recover her claim.
Messrs Shields and Conant, as
trustees are assisted in the defense
BY John W. Redmond of Newport.
The defendants, as custodlanS,
and not as heirs Of the property
represented in the estate, claim
that to pay Mrs. Dunnett's account
would be preiudicial to the inter
ests of the creditors of the estate
but the fact that Mrs. Dunnett' S
claim against the estate has been
duly proved before the commits
Sioners O fthe estate makes Mrs.
Dunnett one of the creditors Of the
estate, and so if any fraud is be-
ing perpetrated it IS against her
self and her own interests, and for
this reason it was argued that the
cross bill that has been filed is
without legal foundation. Mr.. Red
mond said, however, that it was
done on account Of abundant eau
ton" in order to have something
to fall back on in case Of reverse
decisions by the court.
1t was argued that to aGjudge
the title Of the trust deed valid
could not be adverse to the inter-
ests of the creditors because the
prime features Of that trust was to
provide for the protection of the
creditors of the estate, first and al
ways, and Mrs. Dunnett was one of
those creditors by the approval of
the commissioners.
The most of the time Tuesday
forenoon was consumed in claims
and concessions as to the amount
and validity of the property be-
longing to Mr. Dunnett at the time
he executed the trust deed.
By order of the court of chan
cery the trustees have already paid
all the claims that have been pre-
sented and proven against the
estate, except the secured claims
and the claim of Mrs. Dunnett re-
presented in this suit.

NEWPORT BOYS
HAVE NARROW
ESCAPE IN CAR
Auto Turns SOmersault
But Lands Right
Side Up

Maurice Clark, Eimunl Rich
ard, and Roland Roy gers did a
stunt that wouli be hard to dupli-
cate without more serous injury
when their car turne' a somer-
sault and landed right side up in
the road and headed in the oppo-
site direction.
The three ooys were out for d
little rid in Arson Clark's car, a
Ford, and were on the Coventry
road near the Charles Putney or
Nadau farm when the accident oc-
Cured.
An approaching car driven At
high speed came over the little
rise in the road a: this point and
did not seem disposed to give up
the 1ightful half of the road,
Maurice Clark, who was driving
turned quickly to the right, and as
he did so the front wheel struck
the edge of d culvert, with such
force that the car turned com
pletely over, and around and hea l.
ed in the opposite direction.
The three boys were thrown out,
but are not much injured. Roland
Rogers escaped unhurt, Maurice
Clark and Edward Richard are
bruised and latned but no seriously
hurt.
The right front and the left year
wheels are smashed and the ca is
considerably damaged otherwise.
The driver Of the second car did
not stop, and 1t is possible that he
did not know what had happened.
An examination of the track
showed that the Clark car had
turned out all that it possibly
could and had given more than the
customary half Of the roadway.
Both cars were going at fairly
good speed.
The culvert at this point is in a
dangerous position and the occu-
pants of the auto had d narrow
escape from death.

About 10 O'Clock Monday night
+ the air brakes were put out of
commission on a southbound
through freight and an hour later
William A. Ahearn was beaten up
by gang of six or seven men as
ne was nearing his home on the
South Wheelock road. Sheriff
Worthen and States Attorney
Campbell were in Lyndonville
throughout the day investigating
the assault upon MI. Ahearn and
other features of the situation.
The damage to the air brakes
occurred while the train was in
the south end of the yard and four
of the air hose were cut and the
angle cocks turned. This resulted
in setting the brakes, and delaying
the starting of the train until new
hose could be installed.
The assault on Mr.. Ahearn oc-
Cured about 11.30 o'clock. He
was on his way home, having quit
work at II O'Clock, and a group of
six or seven men attacked him
from behind and overpowered him.
One of the men then took Mr..
Ahearn's dinner pail and beat him
in the face. Mr.. Ahearn was re-
turning to his home on his bicycle.
His jaw is in bad condition and
several of his teeth were loosened.
Mr.. Ahearn is a Boston and
Maine fireman who was temporari-
ly laid off and he applied for an
unskilled position in the engine
house to take the place of one of
the men who had gone to muster.
He had just finished his first days
work when the assault took place.
A representative of the Gale
donianRecord visited the Boston
and Maine shops Tuesday morning
and found it a busy place with a
lot of engines in the locomotive
shop and over 20 freight cars in
the wood shop. The management
said they had rs per cent of their
normal force in the car depart
ment of the railroad shops and in

take care of all their heavy run
ming repair work. They say that
many of the strike breakers have
developed into first class workmen.
The management wish to assure
the public that they need have no
fears in travelling on the cars at
the present time as the railroad
equipment is not going backward
and the first consideration is Civ
en- to inspection of equipment.
Lyndonville figured incidentally
in the depredations committed on
the White Mountain express at
Fabyans Sunday night when the
air brakes We're set by cutting the
hose. The train had to remain at
Fabyans through a good portion
of the night while the Maine Cen
tal sent a special to Lyndonville
to get a new supply of hose. The
train was heavily loaded with pas
sengers bound for New York and
other points.
The railroad work train arriv-
ed in Lyndonville Tuesday morn
ing with Ga men from st. Johns
bury and stations between there
and Lyndonville. This is the
largest number that have yet re-
ported for work since the strike
began on this train.

MAYOR LINDSAY
FAVORS BALLOT
VOTING SYSTEM
Newport Executive Gives
Outline of Meeting
Tonight

! At the meeting of the CITY
, Council tonight Mayor Lindsay of
Newport recommends that imme-
date steps be taken to map and
lay out new sewerage lines where
necessary-and that a portion of
the expense of all new sewerage
lines to be constructed in the fu-
ture, as quickly as may be-be
assessed against the abutting
property owner. An amendment
to the charter must be had in ad-
vance of any such an assessment
and an ordinance passed in con-
junction Herewith. As a phase
of local self government this pro-
position, as well as those follow
ing herewith, should be submit
ted to the citizen voters for their
endorsement and action-and the
charter amended, as the vote NAV
warrant.
The matters herewith involved
and following matters, should be
thoroughly agitated and debated
by the citizen body-and some
time in October, a special meeting
should be called to act upon ali
these propositions as per warning:
And the city representative to the
coming legislative assembly, in
structed to have the legislature
amend the city charter in accord
arfce with the vote taken on the
several matters to come before the
special meeting proposed.
There is sane and sensible op-
position to the present method of
city elections. City officials should
be elected by ballot after the man.
nr of the Australian ballot system.
Very appropriately could the city
be divided into thre eelection dis
tricts, to wit. The East End, the
West End, and the Central area.
Election and polling booths or
stations should be maintained in
each of these three districts for
election purposes only. The citi-
zen voter should have an oppor-
tunity to vote for choice OF can
didates any time between a. m.
and 7 p. m. At s p. m. same even
ing as election day, the general
city meeting for the transaction of
city business should be called to
dispose of all other city business
but the election OF city officers.
At 8 p. NJ. the returns from tic
days election sn"l.G be in and
counted, so that the city officials
could proceed WI the business of
the meeting. This proposition was
