purchased the capital stock of the Du-
pont Manufacturing Company, with
their entire outfit. For the present the
making OF the hammers will be cont1nu-
ed at the Dupont shops in Paddock Vii
lage, though eventually, of course, the
manufacturing will be done at the Fair
banks Company shops. The Dupont
hammer stands high in the market, and
has for years been recognized as a useful
and valuable impemrnt in the industrial
world; and it goes without saying that
the business will not suffer by the trans

Judge Ide's Work in the Philippines.

The friends of Judge Henry c. Ide
greatly regret to learn that he is at
present in an hospital in Japan, endeav,
oring to recuperate his health, which has
suffered from the pressure of his duties
on the Philippine commission. Before
leaving for the United States Gov. Taft
wrote Judge Ide, expressing the wish
that his recovery might be speedy, and
said "The work which you have done,
as we look back over the laws OF the
commission, is tremendous; and it is as
good as it is extensive. Of course the
legislative work must necessarily fall
largely upon the lawyers Of the commits
sion with Gen. Wright in the guberna.
torial chair, and with the away, it puts
double work upon you.
II hope you will feel that hereafter it is
your duty not to take more than you
can do comfortably. and to allow other
laws to wait. 1t is my earnest prayer
that you may be able, through rest, to
be restored again to health, and that
when | return again in May may be
able by putting my shoulder to the
wheel to allow you and Gen. Wright
some respite from the burden which | am
throwing upon you"

years ago, and soon after she came to
this country. Her health is fairly good,
for 25 years she has eaten no meat be-
cause of absence of teeth. but she is very
fond OF her pipe and tobacco.

December Term Ended.

County court adjourned Thursday
after long term. 1t was in session 81
days and during that time nine civil
and two criminal cases were tried by
jury. There were six verdicts for plain
tiffs, three for defendants and two ac-
quittaIs. The jurors received S35975 50
for services during the term. 1t was
thought that the Cochran case verdict
might end bucket shop" litigation for
a time but, it will be a feature of the
June term, nevertheless. Walter E. Jew
EFT of Woodsville, was in court Thurs
day and pleaded not guilty to the indict-
ment containing two counts found
against him by the grand jury. This
was nol pressed, but an information has
been filed against him which contains So
counts and the case will be on the June
term docket.
An interesting question has arisen in
the case OF Lewis VS.. Crane, which was
tried at this term and resulted in a YER
dict of 5000 Tor the plaintiff for in
juries received by a falling staging while
he was working on barn belonging to
the defendant. Since the trial it has be-
come known that an alleged model of
the barn was seen by the jury while they
were sitting on the case. Itappears that
in the evidence it was shown that the
blocks on the root, which held the swing
ing stage, were back quite distance
from the ends of the roof, and the ar
rangement caused the weight on the
staging to he unequally distributed at
times, whereas in the model the blocks
were nailed to the roof flush with the
edge, so the unequal distribution of
weight could not occur. This matter
was argued, but the court did not render
an opinion. and it is possible that the
verdict may be set aside and the case re-
tried.
In the divorce case of Dunn VS.. Dunn,
mentioned last week, the divorce was
granted Tor dtsertion.
Ina H Farr of Lyndon was granted
divorce with 500 alimony, from c. L.
Farr of ST. Johnsbury, tor neglect to
support.
