FEDERAL COURTS
Adjournment Taken Thursday until
March 18 ut Brattleboro,

The February term of United States
courts was adjourned Thursday morning
until March il. when a session will be
held at Brattlcboro at 2 p. IN. There was
but little business transacted during the
term. there being no cases for trial by
Jury and only a few hearings before Judge
Wheeler. The amount of criminal bust
ness was also small, there being only a
few pleas of guilty. The grand jury had
considerable business to transact and
Thursday morning reported Is true bills
and five not found.
The remainder of the morning was taken
up by hearing in the matter of the
trustee suits brought against j. +.
Whalen. receiver, in the case of the
Champlain Construction Co. vs. O'Brien
& Shechan. The suits were brought by
w. & y. G. Crane. the G. 5. Blodgett Co.
and by Lang & Goodhue. Their attorney,
G.. 7. Barney. asked to have the funds
now in the hands of Mr.. Whaen remnin
Is his possession until the trustee suits
were disposed of in county court Mr..
MolonCy, representing Butler II Moloney
and O Bricn d Shcehan, opposed MIR.
Barney. saying that they had no legal
right TO bring trustee suits against Mr..
Whalen in the county courts. when an or
der to turn those funds over to Butler &
Moloncy had already been issued by Judge
Wheeler and that by SO doing they were
in contempt of court. The court ordered
that the original order, whereby Mr.. VIA
len was to turn the funds in his posses
sion over to Butler e. Moloncy. should
stand without condition and that the par
ties who brought the suits in tho county
courts would continue them at their own
risk.
After court had adjourned Perley Hub
bell. who has been in Jail several weeks
on charge of breaking open a United
States mail box and stealing letter con-
tanning a check FOR sf7. and against whom
the grand jury found n true bill, sent
word to Judge Wheeler that he wished to
plead guilty. lie was brought to the
Judges room in the court house but when
he heard that the charge was for breaking
open the mail box he would not plead
guilty, claiming that he did not take the
letter from the box but found it on the
ground where the wind had blown it.
Bail WAS fixed at 500 which Hubbell was
unable to furnish. There is a warrant
out against Hubbcll for passing TIE check
nc stole and purchasing suit OF clothes
with the money.

INTO THE LAKE
Team Belonging to Standard Coal ar d
Ice Comrasy Lost.

A valuable team belonging to the Stand
ard Coad and Ice company was lost Mon
day morning at about ten o'clock near
the south end of the brcakwater, where
the company are working at present.
The team was driven by Charles l..
Brown and was composed of a large dark
brown and a gray horse They had just
taken on a load of ice and started for
shore when the ice completely gave way,
letting the whole outfit through into the
lake MIR. Brown jumped and escaped
without a wctting but the loaded sleds
carried the team under and it was not
possible to save them. They We're recoV-
cred soon after the accident. The ice at
the place where the team went in was
from seven to nine inches in thickness and
considered perfectly safe but the cXtrcm,
brittlcncss of the ice made late in the
season is no doubt responsible for the
mishap,

HELD FOR THE GRAND JURY
W, D. Ksndrsw Bound over by Judge
HAWKINS on the Charge OF Arson.

w. ID. Kcndrew. who has had a pre-
lminary hearing in city court on the
charge of burning the store of A. Il.
Page at Willston, was Saturday held
by Judge Hawkins for tho grand jury
IN the sum of $1,000. which he could not
furnish.
The hearing has occupied several days
in city court and the evidence thus far
is purely circumstantial but there were
many features of the case which were not
explained to the satisfaction Of the court
and in consequence the respondent was
held for further investigation on the part
of the grand jury.
The store in question was burned last
January and Kcncrow is accused of
causing the fire so that he might appro-
pirate to his own use about $3.50 which
was left in the store the night il was
burned and the existence of which was
known only to Kendrew and Page.

FOOD PROTECTION
The Circuit Court OF tho United States
Decides In Favor OF the In-er-
seal PncleaDo

seal Package.
A decision far reaching in its effect and
of interest to all lovers of pure food, has
Just been handed down by Judge Adams
in the Circuit Court of the United States.
The suit In question was brought against
The Union Biscuit Company for infringe
ment on the In-er-scal package, controlled
exclusively by The National Biscuit Com
Dany. for the protection of biscuit and
crackers against dust, moisture, odor and
germs.
In deciding against The Union Biscuit
Company, Judge Adams says:
'The proof abundantly shows that prior
to the invention of the patent, the old
paper cartons or boxes were inadequate
TO the demands Of the service required of
them: that their contents dcterioratcd
rapidly in substance and flavor: that they
were subjected to the baneful effects of
the Air. moisture and dust. Since the in
PRODUCTION of the box OF the patent a
radical change has taken place. This box
has been found equal to the climatic and
other local conditions in all parts of the
country, from New Orleans to New York,
from Florida to Minnesota, and from Cali
fornia to Massachusetts,. The uniform
testimony from all these regions is to the
effect that the contents of the box are
flavor.
THE whole testimony In my opinion
clearly shows that the box Of the patent
materially facilitates the distribution of
inexpensive food products to the con-
sunier and at the same time lessons the
cost and enhances the intrinsic value of
such products"
Judge Adams full decision against the
infringement not only shows the great
importance OF the In-er-soa package, but
Is so broad and conclusive as to prevent
any further infringement or use in VIOLA
ton of the rights of The National Biscuit
COfppanV.
