Griffin Charles Gee Susie A. Gee Jennie B. Merritt Charles W. Mer rltt. This, and the probabie like dis position of several other cases of the same class.jshow the true get together spirit and should be reasonably encour aged.

When it came to actual trial the parties in the well-known Sheffield alienation case of Oliver H. Jenness against Walter Simpson, after a half day's parley, thought best to settle matters in dispute out of court. 2500 and a deed of the farm closed the case so far as the court and the public are concerned. The first jury trial was V. W.

Rand, collector for the village of Hardwick against W. W. Marshall. This case has been In court before. It was first docketed in March 1909.

At the following December term verdict for the defendant was ordered. It went to the supreme court on exceptions. At the last January term the higher court reversed the verdict and remanded the cause for new trial. The question in controversy is over bills for electric lights in tenement houses owned by the defendant. The lights were ordered by and benefitted the defendant's tenants.

The by-laws of the village of Hardwick claim to make the owner of the tenement responsible for such light bills. Mr. Marshall, it is claimed, notified the village that he would refuse to pay such bills when not paid by the tenants. The jury after hearing the case decided for Mr. Marshall.

Bullard and Morse represented the village and Dutton and Howe were attorneys for the defendant. The next case was that of Charles C. Johnson Thomas Belanger of St. Johnsbury, a controversy over a book account or something like $150. SI-monds and Searles represented John son and Hovey and Richardson defend ed.

The case went to the jury Monday afternoon and a verdict for the plaintiff was returned to recover $150, interest ana costs. The Hardwick case of H. F. Cum-mings Martin Goodno is now on trial. The fplaintiff is a real estate agent and the case is over the alleged mis-instruction of a contract over the sale of the defendant's farm.

Palmer had been suffering with a tubercular trouble for a number of years but the physicians did not regard his condition as hopeless and several operations were performed to remove the trouble which it was thought was confined to the throat. With his mother, Mr. Palmer returned three weeks ago from Boston where a third operation was performed and he was rallying successfully until the Monday preceding his death when heart trouble developed and the end came Thursday. Mr. Palmer was born in St.

Johnsbury, August 29, 1890. His father, John Palmer, died thirteen years ago. After graduation from the public schools the young man entered the academy, but because of failing health, it was deemed unwise to continue the course. He spent much time out of doors and seemed to grow stronger. About a year ago he entered the employ of the Roston Maine as freight clerk and was warmly liked by all his associates there.

He was a young man of high principles, possessed of manly qualities, and his early death is deeply mourned. Mr. Palmer was a member of St. Andrew Episcopal church. From early boyhood he was a member of the choir, faithful and efficient in his every ser vice to the church.

The young man is survived by his mother, step father and two step-sisters, Mrs. Perry Hastings of Lisbon, N. and Mrs. F. L.

Carr of St. Johnsbury. St. Andrew's church was filled Sunday afternoon at four o'clock for the funeral. Mr.

Palmer's rector, the Rev. Dr. A. P. Grint, had charge of the service.

This is annual Masonic week in Burlington and fraternity men from all parts of the state will have an early opportunity to enjoy the up-to-date hospitality of New Hotel Vermont. James F. Hooker has bobbed up in Schenectady, N. as a candidate for mayor.

When he gets to running for governor, or something, the Brattle-boro papers will begin to reclaim him as an erstwhile activity of the organ town. We predict that when the real history of the present year is written for keeps, the establishment of the agricultural school at Randolph Center will assume its rightful place as one of the most valuable achievements of Governor Mead's administration. Under the new Russian educational act women are placed on the same footing as men as far as rank and salary are concerned and are also eligible to become heads of schools. This in darkest Russia Certainly the world not only moves but whirls. 463,200 trees were sold from the state nursery at Burlington this year.

The Senate by a vote of 64 to 24 has placed itself substantially on the pro gressive list in favor of the election of senators by direct popular vote Of the sixteen republicans who saw fit to oppose the measure, we are sorry to find the names of Senators Dillingham and Page of Vermont. BACK TALK. We have been waiting for the Barre Times to suggest that indicators point to a Slack campaign next year. The Brattleboro Reformer wants to cut out governorship talk during hot weather.

All right. Good plan. The government is to establish an aviation school at Annapolis. We have been teaching the young idea how to shoot and now, says the Ludlow Tribune, we must teach the young idea how to fly. There are some bright )ung women in Bennington, but the Bennington Banner never yet saw one of them who was able to appear intelligent and chew gum at the same time.

Ditto St. Johnsbury. Hon. Allen M. Fletcher of Cavendish will be a candidate for the republican gubernatorial nomination next year.

This, the Randolph Herald says, is not an announcement, simply a statement of an evident fact. Governor Mead made a hit as a Memorial day orator at White River Junction last week. The Vergennes Enterprise says he is scoring about every time and proving one of the best governors Vermont ever had. The public school teachers in Swan-ton struck for more pay. If they had been granted all they asked, they would have still been underpaid, no doubt.

A meeting called to take action on the matter was attended by only twelve voters. Something is wrong in Swanton evidently. The Rutland News is right in its conclusion that danger lurks in a community where there is such indifference to public affairs. Two Other Occupants of Boat Saved Themselves by Swimming Ashore. One life was lost and two others were in grave peril by the capsizing of a boa Sunday afternoon at Miles Pond The excursion was In the nature of a "joy ride" taken by Fred Crawford, Hoi lis and George Morrill, all of East Concord.

The accident happened about half past two and but a short distance from the shore. The men were rocking the boat and indulging in other stunts when the craft was cansiz- ed, urawiord losing his life. All the men could swim, but it is supposed that Mr. Crawford came up under the boat. The Morrill brothers easily swam asnore, gave the alarm and search was made for their third companion.

The body was recovered and taken on a hand car to the home of Ira Grant in East Concord where the young man boarded. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at 2.30 at the Methodist church. Mr. Crawford is survived only by a step-sister. He was 30 years of age, and had been em ployed in this vicinity as a farm laborer, also by the National Flooring company at nines fond.

Last week was a banner week for Trout Brook creamery, the workmen making the largest amount of butter ever made in that length of time. The amount turned out was 9080 pounds. Dr. A. P.

M. Allen, for the Fourth of July celebration committee, reported the program as fully arranged. The generous response of the citizens of the town in contributing the sum asked for to defray the expense of the occasion is a great encouragement to the committee in its work and guarantees a first class celebration. Those wishing to compete for the $5 prize offered by the club for the best advertising slogan for St. Johnsbury are asked to send their recommendations to Secretary Peck before June 24.

The Industrial committee are invited to be present next Saturday. Several letters from parties wanting factory sites were considered 'and referred to the proper committee for investigation. A new industry or two may result.

The possible cost of such an improvement is being looked up and will be reported at the next meeting.

After two trials in Caledonia county court, two hearings in Vermont supreme court and the beginning of a third in county court, the litigants in an alienation action got together and settled the case out of court. Fine result, and finer if they had got together before Vermont had been forced to spend so much money on the case. Barre Times. Chance to Redeem Himsell. "Put the Vermonters to the front and close up the column." Senator Dillingham has been put to the front of the Senate sub-committee to investigate Lorimer; now close up the column, tighten up, let nothing get through unchallenged.

Senator Dillingham is now placed in the position where his acts will be watched more closely by the entire country than at any time in his career as senator; and Vermonters feel that he will give to the investigation the best that Is In him. Barre Times. After the Weather Trust. "Hooray" for the Democratic congress. It purposes to investigate the rational weather bureau.

If it succeeds in hanging Prof. Willis L. Moore, the bureau chief, it may be possible to get a complete case against Local Forecaster Shaw of the U. S. weather bureau in Northfield, that will land him in state's piison for lite.

He's guilty enough of furnishing weather many times during the past 25 years that somebody didn't want. But after all, why putter around with an investigation? Why not convict all the weather bureau folks under the pure food law and let it go at that? burely that would be glory enough for Democratic national house. North-field News. DANVILLE. Death of A.
