G. Taggert At Universalist
Church Proves Exceptional
Treat For Waterville Folks

Waterville people were afforded an
exceptional treat last evening in the
appearance of Charles Ross Taggart
at the Universalist church. Mr.. Tag
CART is better known as the Country
Fiddler" appearing as an Edison,
Victor and other photograph artist
in his inimitable personality as the
man from Vermont.
The performance began at o'clock
when George Vose introduced the ar
fist: Mr.. Taggart greeted the audi
ence which filled the entire auditori-
UNI and then gave humorous sketch
OF countryman's trip to the county
fair. To describe his speech and in
terpretations at the piano would be
impossible but it is sufficient to say
the audience was convulsed with
laughter at the way he described
"Simon's" trip on the merry go
round his walk about the grounds
and his dream that night.
The speaker then played several
old Scotch tunes on the violin, first
with instrument under chin, then
with his violin behind his back and
finally with the bow in his teeth and
holding the instrument with both
hands. He gave many other exhi-
billions for which he was the recip-
lent of several encores.
One of the best exhibitions of his
skill was the bird limitations pro-
duced from his Fiddle. The songs
of the white throated sparrow, whip
o-will, sparrow, bob white. canary
and many other birds were rendered
perfectly, in fact SO real that one
could imagine that they were in the
forest
The whole entertainment was a.
splendid success and the men of the
Universalist church are to be COM
plimented for their ability to secure
such fine artist for local people to
see and hear.

Bold Robbery at
Nights Gasoline
Filling Station

One of the boIdest robberies that has
been perpetrated in this vicinity in re-
cent years occurred last night dur
ing the supper hour when flights gas
oline filling station opposite the car
barn on the road between Fairfield and
Waterville was broken into and about
$50 taken from the cash register.
Officer Henry Ferland of the Fair
field police department was notified
and last evening he was busily en-
gagged in tracing the burglar. The sta
ton was entered through back win
dow, the thief breaking a pane of glass
and swapping back the window catch.
AS this station is we'll lighted at night
and there Is much traffic by the stand,
1t is considered remarkable that no one
noticed the thief when he was inside
the station. The Waterville police
station was notified of the burglary
soon after it had Mapped by officer
Ferland.

1856 Gallons Wine
Seized With Huge
New Orleans Still

NEW ORLEANS, June 1.-THE
largest and most complete wine
plant ever raided in New Orleans
was seized and destroyed today by
federal prohibition agents under the
direction of Divisional Chief LACK
Overpeck.
The raiders reported they seized
in the plant, which was located in
a vacant six-room dwelling in Ram
part street, 1856 gallons of wine,
3,640 gallons of wine mash, eigh-
teen 10-gallon boilers and three 500
gallon watts. The plant was equipped
with 13 brick furnaces, two modern
wine presses and other para
phernalia used in the manufacture
of Upgrade wine. Eighty empty
kegs and 81 barrels and several
hundred one-gallon and quart bottles
were in the place.
Charles Galmino, who the agents
said they found in the plant filling
the barrels with the finished prod
uct, was arrested.
