Posse Grimly Clings
To Trail AbductOr
Little Vermont Girl

Granville, VT, April 29.--Unweary-
ing in their search for 11-year-old Luz
ellie Chatterton, who disappeared from
her home here last Friday at the same
time as Earl Woodward, farm hand
and former convict, the hunting party
of officers and volunteers concentrated
their efforts today in the vicinity of
West Brookfield. They found the en-
bers of campfire on Cram Hill, three
miles from West Brookfield, and this
led them to believe that Woodward
had been there within the last "a
hours.
1t was at West Broolsfield that a
general. store proprietor reported that
a man answering Woodward's descrip-
ton had come last Monday night to
purchase food and a lantern wick. A
watch also was kept at Mortified,
where it was thought Woodward might
come to the home of his foster-mother,
Mrs. Elizabeth McIntire.
The search by night had shifted its
operating center to an area about IA
miles north of this place. Many of the
volunteers from Granville returned to
their homes today, but an automobile
load Of searchers left here for Bloom
field, about Is miles away, where the
Chattertons formerly lived, in the
hope of uncovering there some clue
to the girls whereabouts.
Woodward had a rifle and a large
supply of ammunition when he left
the home of Walter Chatterton, his en-
ployer and the girls father, and orders
have been issued to shoot him on
sight. A reward of 800 has been Of
fered by the state for his capture and
s100 additional by Governor L. S.
Billings.

these plates to bear such text as this:

profit thereby more than the guides.
No department will receive greater
benefit than the inland fisheries and
game which recognizes you as an
important branch of the service.
"M6re sportsmen mean more H.
censes sold and an increase OF the
revenues over last year will mean
additional funds for stocking our
lakes and ponds. and greater pro-
lection of the game. The wild lie
Of the state Is largely in your hands.
You are familiar with its haunts and
It Is especially important that 1t be
conserved, that 1t may be an attrac-
ton and benefit to all, not only to the
present generation but to those VINO
come after. Yours Is a fascinating
calling. To be able to penetrate the
wilderness, and, far from civilization,
care for those who have placed their
comfort and even their lives in your

vice, Traversing our waterways, NIT
ting the trail for mountain peak or

1.-THE true sportsman appreciates
this and respects the honor and man
hood of his guide, and does not wish
him to violate the law.
"If you had only real sportsmen to
deal with, few complaints, If any,
would reach this department. Those
who come to the Maine woods for a
summers outing expecting venison
out of season. or any other infringe

neither are they welcome. 1t would
be better if all guides left their rifles
at home during the closed season,
thus removing temptation.
1.-THE greatest possible care Of fire

you will regard of first importance

II am also relying upon your hear

tainer.
This retainer. besides insuring
Americans on American vessels, will
act as an aid to American ship own
ers by absorbing the wage differen-
tial between American and foreign
wages. and this will tend to promote
the transfer of the government YES
