TIE loss OF SIS derby hat has
been the bone Of contention between
ii. Harris, German tailor, and A.
Dilberto, an Italian barber of Ma
con, for some time past. Several
months ago MIR. Harris went into
| the tonsorial parlor Of Mr.. DiIberto
to get his hirsute growth removed
and upon his. entrance gave mis-
brand new derby into the keeping
of one OF the attendants in the shop.
After being shaved, shcrn and shin.
ed, Mr.. Harris called for his hat.
but 10 and behold it was gone and q
cheap $3.50 derby remained in its
stead. Mr.. Harris at first refused
to except the substitute but as it
was the only one left and he did not
want to 60 home bare, headed be
took the hat, but put Dilberto on
notice that he must either have his
hat back or its value in money.
After waiting several days and the
hat or money not coming forth, MIR.
Harris brought suit and was given
verdict in his favor, Walter Grace
conducting the case for him. Dill
berto then demanded another trial.
this time by jury, and yesterday the
case was heard in justice W. C.
Davis court. James H. Blount, Jr..
representing Harris. and Matt R.
Freeman, Dilberto. For the second
time verdict was rendered for the
plaintiff. Dilberto is not satitfied
with the verdict and will appeal the
case, although it has already cost
him more than the value of the hat
in court costs, to say nothing of at
torneys' fees. Both sides express
themselves as being determined to
fight the case to the bitter end, and
the litigation involved will doubt
less cost ten times the value of the
hat.

WHEN BENJAMIN BUTTERFIBLD
CAME TO BRATTLEBORO.

Whether Ben amin Buttertield came to
the place above Waite's between March l
and the birth of his son Levi, June l,
1863, as Hon. A. A. Butterfield seems to
suppose, or in 1866, as stated in The Pho
nix, is not very important, except as part
of the history of the settlement of the
town. All efforts should be directed to
arriving at the fact as it was; not to reach
ing it in any particular way. In March,
1903, John Arms lived where the farm
house of the Retreat is, Samuel Wells
where the women's summer retreat is,
John Sergeant where the road turns off to
the suspension bridge, William Thomas on
the east side of the river where the lower
ferry was, Peter Wheeler on the Kneeland
place where Charles Goodrich lately lived,
| and Capt. Simon Davis up the hill from
the old cemetery where Charles Amidon
! lives. All had come the year before, eX-
| cept Thomas, who had come the Novem-
Der but one before. The country about
there was all forest down to Fort Dunn
mer meadow except such clearings as had
been made in that short time about the log
houses of these settlers. That Mr.. But
terrified should have come to this place
with his wife and five children, aged from
IS or IA down, at that season of the year
I so near the birth of this child might seen
to some improbable. He was a man o.
substance and not likely to take up ant
clear land before he had right to it. Hi
deed was dated Feb. 5, 1867, and describes
him as of Brattleboro, and in possession
As he would not be likely to settle there il
January he probably came as early as 1906
The deed is from Samuel Wells, who &C
quired his title in the summer of 1906; o
course this land was bought after that
The purchase was new, and at substan
tial price, e120; and the land appears no
to have been measured off, for it was no
described by metes and bounds, but as 10
rods wide on the river and to extend ia
enough back to make 100 acres. Thi
transaction indicates that he bought tn
land and settled upon it in the latter par
of 1906; and took his deed soon afte
when it could be made. The deed wa
witnessed by Samuel Knight and Creal
Brush, which shows that the latter was i
this part of the country earlier than ha'
been supposed Jesse Frost settled wher
Mr. GoOdall lives, and Jacob SpauldinI
where Mr.. Waite lives, next south @
Butter6eld, and Joshua Wilder wher
Marshall Wilder lives next west of him, /
1867, and Daniel Whipple on the land mex
south of Frost and Spaulding in 176t
Capt. Ezra Butterield, son of Benjamin
mentioned by Hon. A. A. Butterfeld a
born in 1858, was born Oct. Fl, 1859.

North Adams had its most disastrous
fire for several years Monday, when Bart

missing two firemen.

mills in North Adams, together with the

North Pownal, VT, the mills which made
cloth for the Arnold print works, shut
down indefinitely Saturday night. More
than 2000 men are affected. All the mills
in Adams have shut down for a week
Owing to the stringency of the money
market it is impossible for the banks in
North Adams to supply the large manufac-
turing concerns with currency to pay off
their help. Cashier E. S. Wilkinson of the
Adams national bank has devised plan to
meet the difficulty. Printed orders will be
issued by employers, which will be receiv-
ed on deposit or collected by the banks.
They will be issued in denominations of
81, s. and $40, and can be passed from
hand to hand like other currency and when
deposited in the bank will be redeemed by
the drawers check. They can then be reis-
sued to him. The advantage of this local
system of exchange is that the circulating
medium will be kept in town.
