Seeks Wealth by Law suits.

Caleb lockwood, once of Burlington,
now of Monkton, is peculiar and his
peculiartles bid fair to bring him once
more into prominence with the legal
fraternity of the state, says the Free
Press. This time with visions of wealth
floating before him he has brought three
suits, one against the Burlington Trac-
tion company, one against o. ). Dodds
and one against Sheriff Reeves, each
being for the sum of $1,000. lockwood
claims that on the 10th day of March,
1898, he boarded one of the company's
cars at the foot of Church street, paying
the required five-cent fare. When the
car had gone nearly to North street he
requested to get off. The car slowed up
but the writ claims that the motorman
and conductor started up the car with
such suddenness that lockwood was
thrown forcibly to the ground and sus-
tanned serious injuries upon his back and
aside from serious internal injuries, from
which he still suffers. The second and
third suits are for false Imprisonment
which resulted from rent suit with o
S. Dodds in which lockwood was con
fined for considerable time in jail, ant
he now seeks balm for his wounded feel
ings. The suits are brought through
Attorney w. III. Collision and are return
able at the December term of the Addi
son County court.

A Good AnecdOte.

President Dwight and President-elect
Hadley were returning home from the
last annual alumni dinner when they
were caught in the rain. President-elect
Hadley had an umbrella with him and
President Dwight did not. Prof. Had
ley, of course, wished the retiring presi-
dent of Yale to protect himself from the
rain by the use of the umbrella, but
President Dwight declined to rob Prof.
Hadley of his umbrella In order that he
himself might ward of the rain. Prof.
Hadley, however, insisted that President
Dwight accept the courtesy, and his
arguments became so energetic that
finally President Dwight turned and
said: "See here, Hadley, this is my
reign still. Your reign doesn't com.
mence until tomorrow" President elect
Hadley allowed the president of Yale to
have his own way on the last day of his
administration.-New Haven Register.
