hitch in the plans of Assistant Attor-
| ney General j. NJ. Hallowell, who is
ready to try some of the smaller cases
grown out of the taking of land for the
construction of the Wachusett reser-
voir. Three witnesses upon whom he
| depended for valuable testimony in all
the Clinton cases refuse to come into
court and testify relative to appraisals.
| The water board selected Judge C. C.
! Stone, judge of the district court, Hon.
| Lucius Field, a former state senator
and Eben S. Fuller to appraise all the
| property in this town that it was the
purpose of the board to take Mr. Hal
| lowell is now unable to command the
services of the appraisers, and is per-
picked because all the values given to
Clinton land rest upon the figures fur
nished in the first instance by these
three gentlemen.
Now Mr.. Field announces for himself
! and Judge c. c. Stone that they not
only will not go into court with the
| figures, but that it was distinctly part
| of their understanding with Secretary
| w. N. Davenport that they should
not be required to do so.

son, forgetting to pay her board bill
| Mile. Zingarra advertised her ability to
| read the past, the present and the flu
ture by looking at the hands, face or
head Of her victims. Charles E. Cross,
| proprietor of the hotel went to Chief
| Oren B. Bates about the matter

to this effect the members of the coun-
| Gil say that they regret that one with the
attachments of Rev. Mr. Haynes should
