The case of Arthur McGee vs. Geo.
C. Bean on trial at the time of our last
week's issue was 'a case of trespass
where the plaintiff alleges that a
heifer belonging to the defendant,
which had got astray in the public
highway and while the defendant was
in pursuit came upon his own land,
where he was engaged in dropping po
tatoes and severely gored him,, leaving
him with a permanent disability of his
right arm. The parties are from Iras
burg. The case was hard fought and
did not go to the jury until Friday
noon. They returned a verdict for the
plaintiff of $410 and costs. W. R. Al
drich and George Young represent the
plaintiff and J. W. Redmond and E. J.
Smith represent the defendant.
Harmon Wells of Derby pleaded
guilty to a charge of trapping muskrats
unlawfully. He was sentenced to pay
a fine of $20 with costs of $10 or serve
the alternative sentence' as provided
by law. This case came up from mu
nicipal court.
The case now occupying the attention
of the court is that of H. D. Stannard
vs. M. L. and H. W. Tillotson and
Trustee. This case is one of the many
ends in the case which started in 1909
when the town of Lowell brought ac
tion against I. Stevenson for alleged
misappropriation of town funds.
When Lowell brought this suit against
Mr. Stevenson that town attached Mr.
Stevenson's property, H. D. Stannard,
a constable for the town of Barton,
serving the papers. Mr. btevenson
got M. L. and H. W. Tillotson to re
ceipt for the property. The defend
ants allege that subsequently Mr.
Stannard attached this property again
for other parties and sold some " of it.
In the meantime the town of Lowell
procured judgment against Mr. Stev
enson and when the property for
which the defendants had receipted was
demanded of them. They refused to
make restitution of the property or its
equivalent in money because they
claim that by the second attachment
they were released from the obligation
of the receipt. The town then brings
suit against the receiptors for the
amount of the judgment against Steven
son wnicn was, including costs,
$7,000.
During this course of events Mr.
Stevenson was adjudged bankrupt and
the bankruptcy court sold certain
property and turned the proceeds over
to the town of Lowell and the amount
the town hopes to recover now by this
suit against the Tillotsons is about
$5500. There are many legal and tech
nical points which are being fought at
every turn.
WASHOUT, WRECK, TIE-UP
Locomotive Goes throjgh Bridge Weak
ened by Water. Passengers and Train
Crew Escape Unhurt. Forty-eight
Hour Tie-up of Traffic.
BURNED TO DEATH.
A washout on the B. & M. R. R.,
three miles south of West Burke, was
the cause of a wreck Friday night and
forty-eight hour tie-up of traffic on
this line of railroad.
The evening trains north on Friday
transferred passengers around a wash
out just north of Lyndonville, and the
afternoon air line south shuttled back.
The night trains had orders to precede
south to this washout and transfer
their passengers to trains on the Lyn
donville side and the night mail in ac
cordance with these orders was creep
ing slowly south from West Burke
when the locomotive struck a bridge
weakened by the water and plunged
into the swollen stream followed by
the tenaer. ine nrst car was a. com
bination mail and baggage car. This
was derailed and one end thrown into
the water, but the remainder of the
train stayed on the rails. The passen
gers, numbering over 100, left the cars
to learn the cause of - their sudden
shakeup, and saw how narrowly they
had escaped from a very disastrous
wreck.
Engineer Eastman had felt his way
cautiously, keeping a sharp eye on
river crossings. As he apr.roached the
bridge he saw that the abutments had
weakened and, shutting off the steam,
put on the air brakes. The train came
to a halt within its own length, but not
until the locomotive had added its
weight to the weakened pier, causing
it to collapse. Eastman and his fire
man, Davis, were thrown into the ic
water and swam ashore, receiving only
slight injuries.
The passengers were taken back to
West Burke where Doctors JDickerman
and Burke attended to the slight injur-
ies sustained by passengers and crew
and Landlord Foster of the hotel served
breakfast on short notice to 100 new
guests
The house of Oscar Noyes near
Greensboro Four Corners burned at 2
o'clock Tuesday morning. There were
only two occupants of the house, Mr.
and Mrs. Noyes. Mr. Noyes occupied
a sleeping room on the first floor and
Mrs. Noyes a room in the chamber.
Mr. Noyes' story is that he retired
early in the evening and left Mrs.
Noyes ironing and that the next he re
members he was awakened by the fire
and the roof falling in and the lower
rooms so filled with smoke " and fire
that he was obliged to make his escape
through a window. Later in the day
the selectmen of the town and Dr. F.
C. Kinney found in the ruins of the
building what was thought to be
charred remains of Mrs. Noyes.
the
George White's Body Found.
While walking along the bank of the
West river hear Brattleboro Saturday
afternoon two boys discovered the body
of a man, face down in the river.
They lost no time in notifying the au
thorities. The authorities at the Brat
tleboro Retreat were also notified that
they might identify the body in the
event that it proved to be that of a
person missing from that institution.
It was remembered that George White,
had escaped Dec. 8 and had never been
found.
Mr. White was a former resident of
Barton ; he visited his brothers here just
before he was admitted to the Brattle
boro institution because of his mental
condition. He was a resident of War
ner, N. H., where a wife and son, 10
years old survive. The body was taken
to Warner, N. H., and was interred at
Manchester, N. H. He had lived in
Warner 15 years. Besides the wife and
son he leaves four brothers, Will
L , and Ed. J., of Barton Grant of
Glover, and Ora of Craftsbury,
also one sister, Mrs. F. S. Whitcher,
and his mothr, Mrs. David Colliston,
of Barton. The sympathy of the com
munity is extended to the family.
Mr. White was a painter by trade

Enforcement of the Curfew Law.
The village trustees have appointed
newly enacted curfew law and it will l"311!14 was
go into effect tomorrow, Thursday
evening, when the fire whistle will
be sounded at 9 o'clock instead of 7
o'clock as heretofore. The village by
law as enacted reads as follows and is
printed for your guidance :
"No child sixteen years of age or
under shall be on the streets .of the
village after nine o'clock in the even
ing unaccompanied by his or her par
ent or guardian or some adult person
chosen by parents or guardian, except
for the purpose of attending band con
certs when the time shall be extended
until 10 o'clock in the evening, or re
turning home from some public enter
tainment in said village, unless said
child has in his or her possession the
written consent of the parent or
guardian that said child be so on said
Many think the entertainment by the
Dunbar male quartet and bell ringers,
Friday night the best ever heard in
town and all concede it to be among
the very best of high class entertain
ments ever enjoyed in Barton.
Mr. Parland, leader and first bass.
had a cold and for this reason
quartette singing as anticipated but
they made up in giving extra numbers j
in other ways. Mr. Nesbit is probably
one of the best pianists ever heard
here and Mr. McConnell as violinist,
reader and second bass was certainly
a star and perhaps made the greatest
hit with the audience. The bell ring
ing was wonderful and the playing of
familiar tunes was especially pleasing
to many. This company kept good the
high grade of talent the lecture course
has furnished this winter. It was by
the kindness of railroad officials that
the Dunbar baggage was transferred
around the washout at Lyndonville that
a stroke of good
luck that they were able to fulfil the
engagement.
that a bridge wThich the train had
over i crossed a mile back was in a dangerous
condition and might have collapsed
under the weight of the train. No
more trains were allowed to cross fhe
bridge until it wTas repaired, and this
information was received by the pas
sengers with thanksgiving that they
had escaped the many dangers of the
night.
To remove the wreckage it was nec
essary to get a steam hoister which was
in use in New Hampshire. To get this
machine to the scene of the wreck it
was also necessary to make a fill near
Lyndonville where the washout first
mentioned had occurred. This took
many hours and traffic of all kinds was
delayed about 48 hours. It was nec
essary to transfer all passengers
around these washouts and freighting
was entirely at a standstill. No
south mails were received at the post-
they j offices along this line of road north of
much , Lyndonville from Friday night to Sun
day, when they were finally trans
ferred. Washouts still further south on the
line, near Barnet were reported. The
older inhabitants say this is one of
the longest if not the longest delay in
traffic and mails they remember and
they had never seen so few trains run
through Barton in three days as went
through Saturday. Sunday and Monday.

literally broken out of the rail so Mr.
Ross picked the broken piece up.
The annual meeting of the Ladies'
society of the Congregational church
was held March 12 in the parlor of the
self or others and wras a patient on
what is known as the parlor ward
where the patients are under almost
constant oversight, but under only par
tial restraint.
On the morning of his disappearance
he was left alone by the attendant on
that ward a tew minutes and when the
attendant returned to call White to his
breakfast he found that the patient in
some manner unknown had obtained an
instrument by means of which he had
been enabled to unscrew a block of
wood so fastened as to permit the win
dow being opened only six inches. He
had raised the window, dropped 10 feet
to the ground and disappeared.
Immediately after the disappearance
was reported several of the attendants
were sent out to search for White and
word was immediately sent to sur
rounding towns notifying the officials
of the disappearance of a patient from
the Retreat.
He was traced, it was believed by
the Retreat authorities, across the
river and to a point where he would
have turned to go toward his home
town in Warner, but there all trace of
him was lost it was reported at that
time. It was then believed that he
had safely crossed the river and that,
if his body ever was found, it would
be somewhere in the woods.
It would appear from the discovery
of the body in the river a trifle more
than a mile from the Retreat build
ings, that he did not safely cross the
river, or, if he did, that he must have
retraced his steps and fallen into the
water.
LISTERS AND TAX LAW.
Many points were discussed at the
meeting of the listers cf Orleans coun
ty at Barton yesterday. One of the
most important is the interpretation
of the new tax exemption law as giv-
en by Tax Commissioner Plumley as
the opinion of Vermont's attorney
general, Rufus W. Brown. The point
is this; money and money only (mean
ing cash) loaned within the state at
5 percent or lees and evidenced by
vote, mortgage or bend tor deed, is
exempt. A mortgage or note given
for anything except "money" is not
exempt no matter at what rate inter
est is paid. Papers given for book
accounts for good?, mortgages for
real or personal estate, or any other
debt except for actual"money loaned"
ia taxable even if written at 5pn"Jcent
or less. This interpretation will work
a hardship in many cases where inter
est rates have been changed on exist
ing paper or notes or mortgages given
at a low rate in order to take advan
tage of the exemption law, but is the
aw under which listers are authorized
and instructed to list.
The listers this year will be required
also to take a census of sugar trees,
tapped and untapped, sugar made,
acres of pasturage and tiilage, etc.
The following uniform prices on
farm stock, bank stock etc. was

C. S. Parker certainly made a hit

parts. A. R. Cowles as leader must
be given much credit for the rendi
