WINDSOR COUNTY COURT,

The cases tried this week have
been notable only in that the juries
required much time for elaboration,
and in one or two cases being I'M
able to agree.
Albert S. Loomis, who was put
on trial Mondoy afternoon, was
charged with damaging some young
fruit trees in J. Erwin Lords Or
chard at Norwich last August. The
respondent was found in the orchard
and after his departure Mr.. Lord
said he found a lot OF plum scions
pulled up.
The respondent admitted his
presence in the orchard, but stated
that he was merely inspecting some
pear slips which Lord had taken
from his place in Thctford.
The jury thought the matter over
all day Tuesday, and, failing TO
agree, were discharged at 9 p. m.
r. E. Stevens for defendant.
The case Of State VS.. Edward
James, for breach of the peace, was
tried next. Respondent and o. ].
Hemenway, both of Cavendish, had
fuss over a pasture fence and in a
brisk exchange of blows Hemenway
got little the worst of it. The
states testimony tended to show
that James precipitated the battle
and the jury found him guilty.
Sanford E. Emery for defendant.
George N. Buchanan pleaded
guilty to assau|ting John r. Gill at
Springfield a year ago and was sent
to Rutland for three months.
Ed " hite of Stockbridge pleaded
guilty to FIVE offences under the pro-
hlbitory law and was fined $50 and
costs.
a recess was taken Wednesday
until Tuesday, July s.
The case Of state VS.. Hugh A.
Barton, an outcome of tar and
feathering affair at Ludlow two
years ago, resulted in the acquittal
of the respondent. 1nformations
were also filed against James Nc
Donald and Ralph A. Barton, but a
nolle prosequi was entered in both
cases.
At the June term, 1900. several
young men pleaded guilty to a raid
on Daniel F. Doyle's house, and
We're fined $a5 and costs each. After
further investigation the men above
mentioned were also gathered in
for alleged completely in the affair,
with the result noted.

Coon freed in a Burlington Street.

A large coon was freed by dog
Saturday in the great elm on the
premises of Col. Brookes, Pearl
street, probably the largest tree of
its kind in Burlington. Boys tried
in vain to coax or drive him from
his perch, not being able to climb
the tree on account of its great size,
but the animal preferred the secur-
ity which the tree afforded, and
wisely postponed the descent until
after nightfall, when the watchers
had withdrawn.
