Canaan, May %. One man was shot
and woman narrowly escaped death
when customs officers, late last night,
attempted to stop party suspected Of
bringing rum from Canada over the
border. Four customs officers from Ia
land Pond put a huge sign, warning
the parties to stop, out into the road.
The sign was sufficiently large enough
to enable motorists travelling to read
at distance and bore the warnin /,
"Stop, u. s. customs.
The automobile refused to stop, took
to the ditch and passed the sign. Gus
toms officers started firing and one bu'
let struck one of the five men riding
in the car, in the neck. Another bull
let entered the house of Mrs. Winfield
Schoppe, nearby, going into bedroom.

was standing in front of a chiffonier.
The ballet, from high powered rife,
glanced off tie hard surface Of the
chiffonier and penetrated the wall Oh
the other side of the room.
The party in the automobile eontin-
ued to the village square where they
started looking for doctor for the
wounded man. In the meantime the
customs officials caught up with them
and free for-all fight took place right
in the street. In the mixup one or more
of the officials we're knocked down, but
no firearms were used this time
The auto, loaded with the mer, got
out Of town carrying the wounded man
with them. His name is supposed TO
be Mike Brown The car was of Mas
sachusetts registration and is thought
to have been pilot to the real rum
running car, which no doubt got
through later. The men bore the ap-
pearance Of being questionable char
acters.

TROLLEY RULINGS
ON SOME POINTS
Judge Wilson will Make Them a
Thursdays Hearing on Troi-
ley Affairs.

| When Judge Stanley G. Wilson takes
up the work next Thursday morning
relative TO the affairs Of the Barre and
Montpelier Traction and Power com
pany, according to statement which
he made Saturday morning before adj
journment, those interested in the pro-
ject nay look for ruling which will
definitely settle some of the questions
which have been presented in the last
week. But there is one matter which was
left open, ie.; the request of the surety
company for the facts concerning the
agreement between the traction COM
pany and the bondholders when the
new franchise was made with the city
Of Montpelier in 1917. p. Fl. Deavitt
started Saturday to examine +. r.
Gleason to bring out the terms Of the
agreement but had not advanced very
far before the bondholders' attorney
objected to the inquiries and then eff
forts were made to avoid further exam
ination with the promise that If the
data tending to show that all the bond
holders agreed to the new franchise
could be found before next Thursday it
will be presented.
1t developed in the course Of the cx-
animation Of Mr.. Gleason relative to
the acceptance by some of the bond
holders the three Mr.. Gleason had in
mind were Mary y. Wright, T.. How
land and the Quarry Savings Bank and
Trust company
When RI j. SIayton took the stand
to prove the levy on the execution on
the Judgment Of the Robert Stewart
claim all the other attorneys objected
to the examination, after which Mr..
Gleason moved that there be expunged
from the records any allegations OF
deceit and defraudv which Mr.. Glea
son claimed Mr.. Gordon had made earl
Ter in the week concerning. their differ
ences relative to the aforementioned
execution. This motion was not decid
ed before the adjournment occurred.
Two bills were allowed. one to the
receiver at the rate of sl25 month
for Is months. All the attorneys spoke
of the reasonableness Of this bill and
hoped that Mr. Voiholm would pay
himself as soon as he could find mon
ey. They also referred TO the $500 bill
of III. c. Shurtleff, attorney for one
wear. Mr.. voIholm's bill did not in
cludc SIS damages paid certain WON
an for settlement in full Of damages
she received through neglect OF an en-
piove of the road. Commendation was
further made of his services when this
was mentioned
Near the close Of the day the attor-
news offered Judge Wilson several sug
pestions as to different matters they
wished to express themselves upon az
per Judge Wilson's request. and he
asked each OF them to draw snch or
ders as they thought should be made;
that he probably would not follow
them hut he would gather from them
some points in forming an order he
would later make concerning priority
of claims
