THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1902. Sudden Death of Joseph Gravelle. Joseph Gravelle died very suddenly Friday night In Vergennes from a hemorrhage on the brain. He had concluded his duties at the Stevens House, where he had been employed for about 20 years, and was suddenly seized with a terrible pain in the head, so severe that he fell to the ground. He stopped at Dr.

Gibson's office to obtain relief and was soon able to go home, where he took to his bed, growing gradually worse until the end came about 12.25 o'clock. The deceased was 54 years of age and leaves a wife, two sisters, Mrs. George Sheehy of Port Henry, N. Mrs. Meader Gevia of Charlotte, and four brothers, John of Vergennes, Will or Weybridge, Louis of Waltham and Frank of Colchester.

He was a man of the kindest heart, though not at all obtrusive in his friendships. He was a devoted friend of dumb animals and nothing moved his indignation or pity so quickly as the infliction of pain or suffering on them. He had lived in Vergennes and vicinity nearly all his life and had a very large circle of friends and acquaintances. He was a veteran of the cival war, having served with company 6th Vermont. The funeral was held Monday from his late home on Water street, Rev.

W. B. Crowell officiating. The bearers were Martin Barrows, Dustin Barrows, C. E.

Stebbins and L. C. Cotey. G. F.

0. Kimball and H. S. Ketcham had charge of the obsequies and the interment took place in Prospect cemetery. There was a very large gatherof triends and relatives, which testified to the loss which family and community had suffered.

The floral offerings were extremely beautiful, a magnificent piece the proprietor and inmates of the Stevens House speaking mutely of the broken circle in that place. West Side Won. There was a football game in Ver. gonnes. Thanksgiving that was not regularly scheduled.

'It was arranged in a hurry, played in a hurry and every one hurried home to supper afterwards. It was between the warriors from the west side of Otter Creek and the tigers of the high school team. There was a small audience to witness the efforts of the teams. Considerable delay was experienced in waiting for the west side contingent to arrive, with the result that the latter part of the game was played in semi darkness. When the teams finally lined up, the west sides were shy three or four men, but their superior weight proved a proposition for the livelier high school players to solve.

Leo Larrow acted as captain of the west sides and strength and aggressiveness made scoring a difficult matter. high school played quickly and aggressivewere unable to gain much ground, the ball changing hands ten or a dozen times in a territory of about fifteen yards. Finally Larrow began to punt, which soon brought the ball close to the high school goal, where he finally carried it over, score 5 0. He failed to kick the goal, as the ball was touched to the ground and Seiple fell on it. For the high school, Seiple, Yattaw, Woodman and Carter played a good game, but were badly handicapped by lack of team work and the weight of their opponents.

There was a great deal of fumbling on both sides. Grover Gowett and Pierre Miner acted as umpire and referee. The Bristol Version. The Bristol Herald had the following last week in regard to the recent football game: The Bristol football team went to Vergennes last Thursday and went up against too much beef. Resu't: Vergennes 17, Bristol 0.

The Vergennes team put up a good game, winning fairly. This team was much heavier than the Bristols, but the latter fought hard. The rowdy element -and every town is inflicted with too many of that class- was much in evidence at the game. This class of ignorant people do not know how to treat visitors decent. They are not sportsmen and know nothing of fair play and their presence at any game is one of the features that all fair minded people would like to see eliminated.

The Bristol team speak in high terms of the gentlemanly treatment they received at the hands of the Vergennes players, all of whom are real sportsmen. VERGENNES. Frank L.
