The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1922-12-01

/ George Mills, the 18-year-olc
bandit who has caused the st
,Iohnsbury police and others in Yer
mont and Massachusetts, so many
busy days since he and his party
held up the Massachusetts party il
Danville and stole their automobile
and who later escaped from St
Johnsbury jail and has led the Off
Ecers a merry chase ever since, was
captured in a lumber camp neal
Troy,'N. Y, Nov. 16.
At Ira on Armistice day was dedi-
Gated a monument to the veterans
of the Civil, Spanish-American and
World wars. Ira sent Al men to
the Civil war; five to the conflict of
1898 and nine to the World war.
The monument cost $3.50, the
money being raised by subscription
as the outcome of vote at town
meeting in 1921. : A bronze tablet
two by four feet is mounted on a
WnlJe marble DaS6.
Suit has been brought in Rutland
county court by i. j. Paris of
Dandy against j. B. Wilbur of
Manchester to recover possession
of a document alleged to be a
broadside issued by Ethan Allen in
IVA, commanding Captain Micah
Vail of Dandy to gather troops to
guard Vermont interests against
the invasion Of New Workers.
Part of the document is in Ethan
Aliens handwriting. Mr.. Paris
values it at $4,000.
The wound of Bernard McCar-
ron, 11-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. B. L. McCarron of st. Adams,
who was struck by a stray bullet,
Nov. IA, was caused by small cal
ibre bullet, probably a %, which
exploded in a bonfire of leaves,
The youngster was playing with
some other boys and they had been
kicking a football. As one of his
playmates booted the ball, young
McCarron suddenly fell to the
ground. He arose and asked if he
was hurt. Blood was streaming
from his face.
Six years ago last week Charles
Vaetsch of Brattleboro sent a
money order from the Brattleboro
post office to a relative living in Ger
many. On Nov. 20 Mr.. Vaetsch
received word that the money
order was undelivered and that the
IS was awaiting him at the Brattle-
boro postoffice. Mr.. Vaetsch OBJ
tanned the money soon after. I'm
doubtedly the war from 1916 to
1918 had something to do with the
non-delivery of the letter during
that time, but the sender is at
loss to know why it has not been
delivered since.
Fred West, Sc, of Manchester
was instantly killed Nov. % when
he was pinned beneath a fall
ing tree while chopping in the
woods on Winhall mountain with
his son, Myron Mr. West, who
was employed by the West River
Lumber company, was knocked
down by limb in the morning but
was uniniured and, with his son,
continued to work. At about four
o'clock in the afternoon when the
rec which he was chopping, was
'eady to fall, he turned in the
wrong direction and the falling stub
lit his shoulder. He is survived
by his wife, a daughter and son,
Myron.
Professor L. Alonzo Butterfeld,
IS, former teacher of expression
md an associate of the late Alex
Under Bell, died Nov. 10 following
hock sustained a few weeks ago.
Mr.. Butterield was a native of
Wilmington, and was educated at
Wesleyan academy and Boston uni
yersity. While at the latter insti-
ution he became associated with |
Professor Bell in the department of !
,ratory. When Professor Bell be-
