A DAM BLOWN UP.
An Attempt to Damage Owner" Ut
Water system Mt BrattlebOrO.


Rrattleboro, Dec. cit was learned
to-day that a dam on Pleasant Valley
brook, belonging to Mr.. Crowell. who is
putting in n new water system, was de-
stroycd with dynamite, probably some
time last night. The dynamite was
taken from the blacksmith shop of Cros-
by d Parker, the contractors who arc
building the water system OF the sun
set Lake Water company. 1t is supposed
this act was committed by someone who
wished to prevent the company from
piping into their mains the present sea
son
The dam was built by Mr. Crosby two
or three years ago but was not used
owing to an injunction put on him at
that time. The engineer believes the
dynamite was used by some one accus-
toned to its use as the work was very
effectively done. 1t is very likely a re-
suit of the feeling which exists here over
the question of n private or municipal
water system and has aroused much in
dignatOn.
