WINDSOR COUNTY COURT.

The December term OF Windsor
County cou commenced on Tues
day with Judge ]. Nj. Tyler presid-
ing in exchange with Judge Thomp-
son. After charging the grand and
petit juries, the docket was called
in full. The Smith-Bagley case,
which has been tried twice before,
was set for trial Dec. 20.
The case of Mary r. Johnson VS..
Central Vermont Railway Company
was disposed Of by an entry of judg-
ment for plaintiff. $I15o damages
and costs.
Gertie E. Foster VS.. Central Ver-
mont Railroad Company-judgment
for plaintiff, $3.50 and CO SITS.
Judge L. Nj. Read represented
nla;nt:fc :.'-.'.
There are set for jury trial some
thirty cases. Or these there stand
for trial now, eight. The first case
taken up was:
Frank p. Martin VS.. &. w. Nor
ton. The action is one of trover,
charging the defendant with con-
verting to his own use boiler and
steam engine with all its fittings.
The articles are valued at $3.50. The
plaintiff lives at Hartland and the
defendant at Wallingford. The
plaintiff claims thai defendant OBJ
tanned possession of the goods by
fraud, and misrepresentation as to
his financial standing. 1t appears
that in May, 1896, the defendant
called at plaintiffs place OF business
to negotiate for the Purchase of the
articles named.
The defendant took the engine and
boiler for $3.50 and had it shipped
to Manchester, VT, but as time went
on and he did not pay the amount
due, MI. Martin began to look for
his pay. His inquiries not satisfy
ing him, he brought this suit, clam.
ing that as Norton misrepresented
about his finances he never got title
to the property. The defendant
claims the transaction was straight
business affair, but that the goods
had not turned out to be as represent
ted.
The case is still on trial, and will
take the rest of the week. 6. a.
Davis and E. l.. Waterman appear
for plaintiff. Judge Butler of Rut-
land and w. b. {. Stickney for the
de end ant.

Those Who Endure.

The pains of rheumatism should
be reminded that cure for this dis
ease may be found in Hoods Sarsa-
parila. The experience of those
who have taken Hoods Sarsaparilla
for rheumatism, and have been COM
pletely and permanently cured, prove
the power of this medicine to rout
and conquer this disease. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the One True Blood
Purifier and it nentral;,-s- H. =, :.
which causes the aches and pains OF
rhe,in,atisn,.-1 hi, is why it abSO-
lutely cures when liniments ard
other outward applications fail to
give permanent relief. BE sure to
get Hoods.

high. The restaurants charge 35
cents per meal, and beds for the

are five or six stores here. On the
