Another S.. Adams Catastrophe.

The new three story business block
which II. G. Morton was building on
North Main street collapsed with
terrific crash Thursday evening, pre-
cipltating mass OF iron work, bricks,
granite and broken and twisted tim
bers into the cellar and far out into
the street. Fortunately no lives were
lost nor anyone injured. Among the
numerous conjectures as to the proba-
Bile cause OF the failure OF the building,
the one generally accepted is that the
post supporting the north end OF the
iron girders which supports the front
at the first story, settled and failed, to-
gether with the settling and collapse
Of the north wall.
The block had been in course OF
construction about four weeks, and
the workmen were putting on the
rafters of the third story and in three
days more would have had the build
ing entirely closed in.
The block on the north, which
Joined the Morton block and is being
built by Northrup 4 Lombard, does
mot show any injury from the acct
dent, but the south block, owned BY
Mrs. j. G. Smith and occupied BY
Rawson Brainerd, druggist, Mrs. N
G. Glider, millinery, and the family
Of George A. Curry, was severed!

Proposed Fish and Game Preserve IN
StrattOn.

A Brattleboro correspondent writes
as follows: A number of Boston sports
men are said to have bargained for a
large tract of land in Stratton, not far
from the place where Daniel Webster
addressed the big wing convention Ill
1910. 1t is proposed by the purchasers
to establish for themselves and friends
great fish and game preserve, to dam
the stream which is tributary to the
Deertield, to build cottages as well as
large fish hatchery, and most Of all
to protect the forests from the lum-
herman. Some 600 acres have been
selected rightin the heart OF the Green
mountains and in section where the
best trout fishing is found. II the
waters can be properly protected for a
period Of five years, it is reasonable to
expect that the preserve will afford the
finest sport to be found in New Eng
land, the waters being well adapted to
trout breeding, while the dense forest
gives ample protection to large game,
including bear and deer, the latter
having become quite numerous in re-
cent years. The scheme is to buy the
land and possibly enclose part OF the
tract and to make the place a Sort Of
summer rendezvous for a number OF
Bostonians. There are two natural
ponds in the sections which just teen
with trout, but whether they are in
cluded in the purchase is not definite
