From all indications the State

OH BRIGHTON HILLS

Oh Brighton Hills are green
to-day
And all the sky is blue
And every brook is gay in May
And every flower is true.
The blossoms bloom on slope
and hill,
The marsh grass all aquiver;
The fishing's good on Specta-
Gle,
Nulhegans Pond and River.
McConnells banks are fringed
with sand
While Buck or Back is muddy.
Great meadows spread around
the land
While shumacs blooms is ruddy
Lone whip-poor-wills Or bold
bob whites
Call over hill and valley
On summers afternoons or
nights.
Brooks make a sudden sally.
The bursting buds and sweet
perfume
Of floweretts in the Maying
Give place to sumemr nights in
, June
And long days filled with hay
ing;
Or autumn nuts and skating
time:
Wild nights of blowing
For Brighton Hills on any time
Look down on brooklets flow
ing.
The air is clear, the clouds go
by
To bank along together
In other lands beneath the sky
In dark and stormy weather.
But always smiles from star
and sun
Look down, our hearts to
Tighten:
And every brook is gay among
The green clad hills of
Brighton.

The inspectors had gone to the Rock

of their suspect. Patrolman John Egan,
who happened to overhear the name

man, and thereupon led the inspectors
to the hotel and pointed him out to
them.
Additional details given out by the
government yesterday developed the
fact that the men under, arrest are
charged with having committed a
