he'll alight on the ground unhurt. No
matter how high the tree, he invariably
lands safely.
"After he strikes earth, however, it is
different. There is at once mixture Of
growls, snarls and short banks, and then,

could wish to see. When it is over,
what is left Of the coon is hung on the

may be. Sometimes, though, the coon
will get out on limb where man dares.

be chopped down. Then it's about an
even chance that the coon may get into
another tree before he can be killed.
"When the coon is freed, it's a weird

moving from Towns hotel and it is ex-
pected that the work of putting the
hotel in readiness for business will be-
gin soon. The new proprietors are dis
cussing plans for changing and enlarg-
ing the hotel. One plan is to build an
addition in the rear, giving new kitchen
and some 40 new rooms; the office will
be left where it is now and an elevator
put it, and the dining room placed on the
second floor. Two new stores will be
arranged, one where the present dining
room is, and one where the reading
room is. So far as learned, however,
nothing final has been determined upon.
The property has been decided to the
Bellows Falls Canal company of which
W. A. Russell is the principal owner.
The deed from J. G. Ullery to this
company was filed in the town clerk s
office for record last Thursday.
