DURANT BREAKS JAIL.
Door Leading TO Corridor Found Unlocked
Monday-Has Record in Three States

Clifford Durant, formerly OF heene, y.
H., who has a long criminal record in
New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Yer
mont and who was placed in Newfane
jail May 23 to await a hearing for vioiat-
ing conditions of his parole, escaped from
the Jail between 10 and l. Monday
forenoon. He is now at large and Sheriff
Frank L. Wellman and others are search
ing for him.
Durant was the only close jail prisoner
on the first floor, the other prisoners be-
ing out at work under guard He had
the use of the corridor into which the
door from which he escaped opens. Jailer
II. Il. Osborne spoke with Durant through
the Jail between 10 and u o'clock Monday
afterwards left for Brattleboro. When
he returned about 1870 he was notified
that Durant had gone The escape was
discovered by Mr.. Osborne's son. when
the latter was about TO unlock the jail
door to allow the other prisoners to go
in for their dinner. The son found that
the door was unlocked, and as the lock
does not work as well as it did before it
is assumed that someone gave Durant
| through the window bars some implement
by which he picked the lock, although it
was of modern Jail type.
Durant Is five feet, eight to 10 inches
! tall, weighs 160 pounds, and is smooth
shaven. He wore a blue serge suit, light
cap, shell trimmed glasses and low shoes.
He has a habit of calling at garages and
hiring automobiles without paying for
them.

not less than five years nor more than
six years in state prison after pleading
guilty to the charge of obtaining a coat

check. This operation resulted in his
being taken to the New Hampshire state
prison at Concord to serve out an unex-

court at Newfane suspended his sentence
and put him on parole. Last February
Durant was in an eseapade in Hartford,
Conn, with a girl from Marlboro. \. H.

to 100 days in Jail, after which he was

Saving Citizens.

The commencement exercises at the
state industrial school in Nergennes en-

odium attached to the reform school,

persists in few editorial sanctums whose
heads have never taken the trouble to
lock into the matter.
The II boys and girls who "gradu-
ated" at Nergennes on Wednesday are
now ready for. high school work and some
of them will be sent to the Vergennes
high school, where several others have
already taken high rank Others win be

addressing his friends and neighbors

Yesterday to celebrate his homecoming,
declared that 'menaees do arise" which

Coupled with this assertion was the

Commenting in a general way on
the industrial situation, the President
made this observation: "A free Ameri-

leave of others. It would be no less an
abridgement to deny men bargain cot
lectively and governments cannot toll

The chemical truck and hose wagon
responded to a false alarm from box 40
at the corner of Elliot and Frost streets
at about 1245, and this false alarm was
followed minute or two later by the
alarm from box 53 on Canal street in
front of the garage. Earl X. Flske, who
is employed by f. H. Hildreth 4 Co.,
saw the fire and pulled in the alarm.
When the truck arrived at the scene of
the fire. the rear of the building on the
floor occupied by the Shaw garage was n
mass of flames and the fire quickly spread
to the floors above.
Four lines of hose were laid. two from
the hydrant at the corner of Canal and
Brook streets and two from the hydrant
at the corner of Canal and Clark streets.
The blaze was a stubborn one, the fire
having gained a firm hold in the partitions
and under the tin exterior covering of
the building The blaze in the section
occupied by the Squires repair shop was
subdued first, and from the roof of this
section the firemen fought the blaze. On
the roof E. :. TubbS had set beehives
containing Il swarm of bees, and the fire
fighters found that the bees were about
as hot as the fire.
At about , O'Clock the fire was COM
