COOPER A NEW HAVEN MAN.
A communication was received at the
town agents office yesterday morning
from NJ S. Topliff, first selectman of
the town of Andover, In relation to
William S. Cooper, who lost two fingers
in an accident at that place last week
and who is now receiving aid from the
town. Town Agent Baldwin was noti-
fled last Friday that Cooper was le-
gal resident of New Haven, and more
particulars were asked for. Mr.. Bald
wins reply was to the effect that Coop
er resided in New Haven for twenty
five years and up to the time recently,
when he went to Andover to work. He
, lived for several years at No. rs Greene
street and later on Wooster street, this
city. 1t seems that the town of New
Haven must bear the expense of Coop
ers accident, as he has no means, and
Andover is not liable for him.
