NEWS OF THE STATE


j. S. Rogers Banishes HIS swans.
Jacob s.. Rogers. the retired locomo-
tive builder, has shipped all his swans
from POmpton Lake to the farm of his
nephew, Theodore W. Rogers, in Della
ware. This is the outcome Of Il long
fight with some Of the cottagers on
the lake, particularly II. ?. Frothing-
ham, President of the State Board of
Fish and Game Commissioners. Mr..
Rogers owns a farm on the lake and
has spent much money improving 1t.
A few years ago he conceived the idea
that swans would add 10 the beauty or
the lake and imported some from Eng
land. After a while Mr.. rockingham
noticed that the swans were fond OF
the fish spawn and he determined that
the wan must 90. He invoked the
local board Of health and the fish and
game protector, but with little effect,
as it was only n question of trespass'
William S. Ludlum, Of the POmpton
Steel Works, owns the lake, or rather
the land under the lake, and Mr.. Rog-
crs got a permit from hsm TO keep rs
many swans on it as he pleased. MI.
Frothingham then consulted counsel
and a search seemed to show that
there was a certain part of the lake
which Mr.. Ludlum did not own. Mr..
rockingham promptly bought this
part and served notice on Mr.. Rogers
to keep his swans off. The swans had
meanwhile grown numerous and other
cottagers complained Of them, so Mr..
Rogers grew tired of the continual
worry and shipped them away. Mr.:
Ludlum in the meantime has looked
up his deeds to the lake and found
that he did buy the part acquired by
Mr.. rockingham, hut that the deed
was not recorded. He will bring suit
10 eject Mr.. rockingham.

EDITH SESSIONS UPPER 4

TTHE village of Brokenstraw
had two cemeteries. One lay
to the east of the settlement,
on the road to Birchyille.
Every lot was well trimmed and care
fully weeded. Many possessed rustic
and iron chairs and benches. Thrift
and care were apparent on every hand.

that they might hew down the mighty

to the standard Of rural graveyard

But the place belonged to a private
estate, and there was an heir who
steadfastly refused to sell, because,
he said, he did not propose to have one
