After Many Years.

In the spring of 1888 William r. Sill
YER of Bloomfield had his meadow i'm
jured by logs of the Connecticut River
Lumber Co., borne down the river by
a freshet. lie claimed damages of the
company and the amount OF damages
was submitted to three arbitrator for
determination, who awarded him
$1,000. The company considered the
award extortionate and refused to
pay it. Mr.. Silver at once brought
suit on the award in Essex county
court. The court removed the case
to the u. S. circuit court and brought
u bill in chancery to set aside the
award. Both cases have been pend.
ing in the u. S. Court since 1888. They
were tried before Judge Rowell as re-
fierce in the summer of 1883 where the
trial occupied eight days. The referee
reported that the damages were exs
cessive and that one of the arbitrat ors
WAS biased in favor of Silver and that
all the arbitrator had made mistake
The case was heard in the term of
the United States Court recently
held at Rutland and the decree is that
the Plaintiff in the suit at law, at his
election within 30 days remit all but
5000 of the award and take judgment
on the report for that sum with inter
est and costs; and that on the failure
to elect the award be- set aside and
judgment be entered in the action
at law for defendent.
