Three suits were brought Saturday
against the Wrought Iron Range COM
pany OF st. Louis, operating In Vermont
through their division superintendent, D.
L. Carter. The suits were brought by A.
N. Alexander, j. B. Adams and Il. B.
Howard, and judgment was rendered IN
every case for the plaintiff in the sum OF
500 and costs. The cases were heard in
two before Justice James Hutchinson, and
the last before Justice John Burnham.
Nichols & Wilson appeared for the plain
tiffs, and w. A. Lord, Esq, OF Montpelier
for the defendant. The ranges sold by
this company were, it seems, guaranteed
and the purchasers, not finding the stoves
quite what they were led to expect,
brought these suits against the stove
men.
Two weeks ago, notice was sent to
this Office OF wedding that was reported
to have taken place at the house Of Clark
Jones in East Bethel, the contracting par
ties being his son and Miss Mae e. Wal
do OF Brookfield. The communication
was signed "Mr. and Mrs. Waldo" and
there was nothing about it suggestive Of a
fake. The item was accordingly published.
II Is now learned that no such wedding
ever took place and that no such alliance
is even contemplated. The HERALD is
properly sorry for whatever trouble the
false statement may have caused. AS for
the writer OF the letter, we shall be pleased
at any time, in consideration OF his or her
distinguished services to the paper, to
publish that party's funeral notice, pro-
vided that convincing evidence can be Of
fered that the thing Is not fake, also.
