ing with the request OF two young men
who shortly after o'clock yesterday
afternoon, leyeled revolvers at him
and demanded his money, Dewey
Miller, proprietor OF the Navarro Ho-
tel on Broadway, Albany, defed the
men TO shoot and informed them they
would not get a cent
Evidently aghast at this attitude the
two bandits beat hasty retreat from
the building, and although MIR. Miller
followed they were lost in the crowd
which at that time was passing the
establishment
A few minutes after the attempted
hold.up had been reported to the police
John Bradley of 453 Central avenue
a chauffeur, called at the Second Pre-
cinct Station in Albany and told OF
talking in the rear Of the hotel to two
men answering the description OF the
two bandits.
He said he had received a call
from Clinton avenue and Broadway
and when he responded he found the
two men, who told him to drive his
taxi to James and Steuben streets
Telling him to wait the men alghtec
from the machine.
A few minutes afterward the pail
rushed from the hotel building and
one of them brandishing revolver
told him to leave the spot and TO leave
in hurry or he would blow his brains
out.
Bradley said he drove the men ovel
James street to Columbia to Chapel
to State, to Eagle street, TO Hudson
avenue. At Dove street he was or
dered to stop. Both men jumpe,
from the machine and made good theiI
escape.

LOCAL WOOL CLIP

BY FARM BUREAU
Cooperating with County Sheep

TO BRING BETTER PRICES
VIII Establish Direct Connection
Between Growers and
Wool Houses

The Farm Bureau office, working
with the Bennington County Sheep
Breeders Association have secured
an offer from a Boston house for the
clip OF it's members, t.iat should add
many dollars to the farmers pockets,
Local buyers are offering around 2S
cents. The pool price Is to be 81
cents for IA b bood, 33 cents for 3-S
blood, IS cents for IL blood and 81
cents for fine, with extra fine going
to 3S
Arrangements are to be completed
by which the members will bring
their wool to the railroad station on
some set day The Boston buyer VIII
grade the feeces on the spot, weigh
them out and make an immediate
payment in cash
The plan seems 10 be very satisfac
tory from three angles first, that the
price is above other offers and means
cash at once. second, that it gives the
producer chance to see his wool
fairly graded before his own eyes
and thereby showing him the adyan-
tages of different breeds, and third,
that is establishes direct chain be-
tween the big wool houses and the
producers, thereby eliminating all
the expense Of the middlemen.
Members Of the Farm Bureau will
be notified within short time as to
actual arrangements and should aold
their wool until they get in touch
with the Farm Bureau Office.

PRISON SENTENCES

Head Of AntLsaloon League Says
Liquor Smuggling from Canada

Springfield, May l0.-Liquor SNUG
Cling from the province Of Quebec in.

the inflow this summer will be great

the maximum sentences imposed.

estimated the amount of incoming
liquor" Rev. Mr.. Clarke who is
pastor OF the First Congregational
church here, asserted that prison sen
tences must be imposed on smuggl'
ers as fines would not stop smuggl-
| ing
The smuggling business he said
"is too profitable to feel the handicap
of an occasional fine
What do you think of the calm
proposal of the premier OF Quebec
who claiming a profit of four millions
year and admitting that 81 per cent
of the liquor was sold to people out
side the province, suggests that the
government should devote two mil
lions Of this to education, one million
to good roads, and the other million
towards liquidating the school debt
He calculated that in twenty years
TIE liquor traffic would wipe out the
entire provincial indebtedness.
Stop the smuggling from Quebec
into Vermont with prison sentences
and you will interrupt this little pan
OF our benevolent neighbor,"

The missing man, II is sad, left
home at 2 o'clock Sunday morning
with Joseph Mesnick OF Somerset, in
tending to drive to North Adams.
The drowned horse, hitched TO the
buggy, was found in the stream about
daybreak Sunday morning. with no
sign Of the erstwhile occupants about.
Subsequently Mesnick reached North
Adams and was arrested for drunken
ness After he was released, two men
speaking English very brokenly rushed
into the police station and asked that
he be arrested The police at the
time knew nothing OF the drowned
horse incident at Stamford They
sought Mesnick, nevertheless. He had
completely disappeared and no trace
Of him has since been found.
Mesnick, however. without the
knowledge OF the police, had been
questioned by newspapermen, and had
said that after the horse backed into
the stream and was drowned, he and
the missing man had walked con
siderable distance. He had then
stopped to rest, while the missing man
had continued towards this city to
get another horse. He said that was
the last he had seen Of him.
