Two years ago when the American
Bell Telephone Co. put through it's long
distance line from Chicago to ST, Paul, a
good many farmers along the route
thought themselves insulted and dam
aged 10y the unmerciless manner their
shade trees and forests were slashed and
trimmed AS most of them had sold
trimming right for few dollars they be-
lieved they had no recourse at law. Mr..
T. J. Atwood, of Albion however, con-
Guided he would make test case of the
matter and brought suit against the
company for damages sustained by cut
ting down young timber across a wood
lot fronting on the highway. Although
the suit was started more than a year
ago settlement was effected only last
week when Mr.. Atwood received a check
for $4,000 in full for the damage claim
ed. Mr.. Atwood is to be congratulated
that he had the courage to make such
corporations as the Bell Co. understand
that the country property owners have
some rights which they are by law bound
to respect.
