The old and almost threadbare case of
William Cothren vs. Roderick Atwood is
once more being aired in the district court
room to-day. This hearing will in all pro-
liability settle it. Both contestants have
grown old in law suits and unless a speedy
settlement is made, it may come to pass
that the heirs of the family will have to
continue the legal feud. Day books and
lrdgers dating back into the seventies, re-
ceipts brown and the writing almost indis-

almost to war times, figure in to days
hearing. Judge Granger of Canaan is the
committee sitting on the case. His report
will be filed in the superior court. Attor-
neys O'Neill and Baldwin appear for At
wood and Attorney Cole for Cothren. The
case now has cost in legal fees alone much
more than the amount in question. Ami
cable settlements have been suggested in
vain by the attorneys. but the two gray
haired contestants have rejected all and
will fight it out by law.
The damage done in some of the streets
by the recent rain storm is much greater
than one would suppose. Street Inspector
Kelley is a lucky man in some respects.
He had just finished up the different
streets around Brooklyn and was pre-
pairing for about a weeks work on Wash
ington avenue at the New England road
when the rain storm set in. Mr. Kelley
says he will commence to put the street in
proper shape as soon as possible, but he
says the place is at the mercy of the next
shower, and will be until there is a catch
basin at the corner of South Leonard
street and Washington avenue. The
street inspector and the mayor visited
number of places yesterday afternoon and
found that the rain storm had done its
usual amount of damage. Especially was
this noticeable on Lawrence, James,
Sperry, Bishop, Hill and North Main
streets. These streets will always be
effected by rain storms until they are
paved. Inspector Kelley has a force of
men at work to-day fixing up a bad place
on the Waterville road between George
Tracy's house and the city line 1t is the
opinion of the mayor and some of the
members of the road board that much of
