DUNHAM AND PLANT SYSTEM.
Seems No Truth in Report of His
Return to the Hallway.


Rumors have been afloat concerning
MAJ. Bradford Durham, formerly gen.
eral superintendent of the Plant Sys-
tenn. 1t has been reported that Maj.
Dunham would receive some post of
Importance with the Plant System.
President r. G.. Erwin of the Plant
System was asked about the reports.
He said that he, knew nothing further
than what he had. seen published, and
1t would seem from this there is no
foundation for the statements.
Mr.. Erwin was also asked about the
report that the Southern Railway
would secure the Plant System, He
said that he knew of absolutely moth
ing that would show that the Southern
had any such intention or desire, and
that the Plant System would continue
to be operated as at present. He was
asked If the Southern was likely to
lease, the Plant System, and again his
answer was in the negative.

HERD OF DEER RUINS
FARMERS GARDEN CROP
He Now Brings Suit Against the State
of Massachusetts, for Damages
Caused by Animals.

LEOMINSTER, Mass, Sept. u.-Har-
rison Babcock, farmer living in Lam
caster, claims to have bill of damages
against the State of Massachusetts
which he is going to try to collect. He
is going to carry his claim to the select
men of Lancaster to see If they can as
sist him in getting redress for damage
done by State charges.
Mr.. Babcock lives on what is known
as the old Gotfried Specer place. on the
Greenway Road, and herd of deer has
been living on his garden crops all sum
mer. The deer are so tame that they
don't mind his driving them away any
more than so many cattle. but return to
get their fill of garden truck.
Babcock knows that the State protects
these animals and reasons that IL the
State protects the animals, it likewise
should protect the crops of the citizens
or else remunerate the grower for dam
ag done. He claims that the deer make
daily calls at his garden, coming from
the woods that surround the house and
eat his corn and vegetables. Whenever
he sees them he drives them out of hts
garden, but. they have got SO tame that
they only scamper off short distance to
return when he turns his back. Barbed
wire fences four or. five feet high prove
no barrier to these nimble animals and
they vault over the obstruction easily.

the property was put at the disposal Of
the city of Baltimore for ninety-nine
years. at the expiration of which time

At that time the property was of small
value, but its worth has increased until
now it is considered the most valuable
property in Baltimore. The city is act
ing as guardian of the estate until its
heirs can be found. There are said to
be over one hundred claimants for a
share in the property.
