LIQUOR IN VAULT
TAMPERED WITH
Indications of Other Irregularities by c.
III. Dickson, Astounding
Postmaster

PITTSFIELD, Mass. Sept PA new
angle in the case of Clifford III. Dick
son, missing postmaster with a short
age of Sl0.500 Chalked against him, was
added yesterday when Inspector \. II.
Crabtree of the treasury department ar
rived to begin checking up the supply
OF liquor held in the basement OF the
postoffiee building and found that the
door to the cage or vault, where the
liquor Is stored could not be unlocked,
that it had been loosened and sagged in
such a manner it would not slide open
after the lock was picked by a local eX-
pert. 1t was necessary for man to
crawl over the top of the door and get
at the lock from inside. Postmaster
James H. Butler, the. new appointee,
had "a key to the vault, but it would
not unlock the door.
Mr. Crabtree is starting a two DAYS
Job of testing the liapor to see if it
measures up to the standard described
in the inventory he brought from Wash
ington, and to see if it is all there. Sew
eral empty bottles were found in the
vault indicating that some of the liquor
had been disposed of in some manner.
Little by little the tale of Dickson's
Irregularities as postmaster Is coming
out, as his private papers and others
not so private are being found. I'm
paid bills, dating to the time he took
office in September, 1921, both federal
and personal. have been found in his
desk. some of them from men and firms
that Dickson had assured that the mat
ter was lin the works or sent TO
Washington" and still living in his desk.
The tale unfolds page bv page as one
whom Dickson dealt as postmaster, come
to the postotiiee to inquire what has be
come of this or that matter, and finds
nothing apparently had been done.

HINSDALE, n. Ill.
FuIIer-Wellman .

A quiet wedding took place at Peter
boro, \. H. when Mrs Eva V. Fuller
and Frank E. Wellman were married
by Rev. John Sargent, at the home of
Miss Caroline Emmes, a cousin OF the
bride.
Among the guests present were Misses
Bernice and Bertha Fuller.
Mrs. Wellman has been for many
years a loved and prominent citizen OF
this town. Her activities will be greatly
missed in the community, through the
church and WOman's club, where much
of her interest was centered.
Mr.. Wellman is of Taunton. Mass,
where he has been station agent for 30
years. He is well-known in that city
for his public official activities.
After a somewhat extended trip to
Washington Richmond and other places
of interest they will make their home in
Taunton Mass.

other six horses prOcurable. but the
Wilson outfit has had virtually no diff
Guilty in overcoming any and all compe-
tition.
The horses will arrive in Brattleboro
in the special express car in which they
always travel. They are attended by
several experienced grooms and a special
veterinary surgeon who accompanies
them on all trips They travel in first
class style to avoid keeping them in
cramped quarters, because of their
great size. These perfect horses, while
ponderous in size, are as gentle as kit
tens and as sensitive as children.
Their trainer and driver, Frank
Housely. who has been inz charge of the
team all during the year, has learned
their peculiarities and can handle them
as skilfully i'll Il six horse hitch as when
they are driven in pairs. To witness

Some interesting facts about the ia
nous Wilson Six Horse Hitch, which
will be one of the big features at the
Valley fair next week Tuesday and
Wednesday, were given to The Reformer
today by c. L. Stickney, president
of the Valley Fair association, who saw
the exhibition at the Eastern States
fair in Springfield yesterday and who
has secured this famous outfit for the
fair here,
The great show team is worth $780,
900 and comprises six Clydesdale geld
ings, and they have won every event in
which they have ever participated. For
the past FIVE years this team has won
the much sought and warmly contested
honor of worlds champion team. Each

given at stated hours and when they
are confined indoors because of the
weather III winter their diet is regulated
accordingly. In extremely warm weather
they are watched carefully and safe
guarded from the effects of heat.
An inspection of these animals will
show what good breeding plus careful
handling can accomplish for horses. The
largest horses in the outfit are about IS
hands 1 inch high, and the smallest or
lead horses are about 16 hands inches
high. They average one ton each in
weight.
The exhibition at Brattleboro will in
clude movements with a three horse
hitch as we'll as the six horse hitch, the
same as is being shown this week at
Springfield. Mr.. Stickney says the per-
Torrance of these animals is nothing
short of wonderful and they execute
their movements with clocklike precision.

their maneuverings on the track is to
marvel at the skill shown. and even the
famous drivers of far famed circuses,
who are selected for their special knowl-
edge of horses, can present no prettier
figures on the track than can this master
trainer and driver
1t is interesting TO note that these
splendid show animals have their teeth
carefully examined once n month and
more frequently they are given a thor
ough going over by their own veterina-
rian. for with their great weight they
are apt to sustain injuries which may
not be apparent at once to the eye. The
horses are not overweight but are kept
on such a rigid diet and are so carefully
exercised and worked that they seldom
vary in weight but a few pounds.
No special feed is given to the animals
and they are given only such care as all
others are entitled TO. The meals are
