IMPORTANT SUIT
nrr OF FAR REACHING RESULTS
 x AGAINST PLUM BAYOU LENEE s DISTRICT.
leeks to Have Assessments Set Aside Kecause Land Is Not Benefited
 by Leyee.

suit of far reaching importance
 the landowners who lie within what ( known as the Plum Bayou levee dis t 6sfsact was filed Thursday afternoon by
 Sunnybrook Realty company yhich owns lands in this county, sfSrough their attorneys, White and NNtheimer.
 sHThe Plum Bs- I leyee district, as is Sell known, was organized for the E Ell 1nurpose of building levee to protect finds lying in the district from over lows caused by the high waters of &e Arkansas river, but ill building
 Sue the board determined to end the ioyee at a place near Rob Roy. This
 Raves a gap between the end of the 11yee and the beginning of the Oracle hyee eight miles further south Through which all of the high waters eld in check by the strong Plum kyou levee will pour through and
 gerflow the whole territory, includ- ing the towns of Altheimer, Hum phrey and Wabbaseka and the country around there.
 It is alleged in the complaint that Although the lands of the plaintiff are m nowise benefited, but on the con- trary hurt by the building of the Nyee, still the leyee board has fixed 1he benefits to these lands at the same Irice as they are fixed for lands that Ire absolutely protected by the leyee. The plaintiff hopes to have this as- eessment of benefits set aside and the lands relieved from taxation because they are not benefited.
 2 As there are many thousands of Acres of lands in the same condition many suits of like character are an- Hcipated.

.YEGGMEN AT
HOOSICK FALLS
Blew Open Postofficc Safe
Last Night.
LOOT WAS NEARLY 5000
Robbery Was Not Discovered Until
Office Was Opened For Busi.
ness Thi, Morning.

Hoosick Falls last night received a
visit from the yeggmen, presumably
the same gang that recently operated
at Wilmington and several other points
In New England, and as result the
postofice Is minus about 1850 In cash
and about ESQ In stamps.
The burglars blew of the outside
door OF the safe with nltro-glycerine
but so neatly was the job executed thai
there was not sufficient noise from the
explosion 10 arouse people in the vic.
Unity. No one know anything about
the robbery until the postoiiice was
opened for business today.
After the news OF the burglary be-
cane known on the street people living
near the Office remembered that they
had heard an unusual noise about 2
O'Clock this morning but did not take
the trouble 10 investigate.
The thieves apparently took special
pains TO guage. the amount OF explo.
siye so that the volume OF the report
would be reduced to the minimum or
carefully mufiled the safe with blank.
cts or other appliances before explod-
ing the charge. The building SUSTAIN
ed no damage outside OF one broken
window.
The thieves obtained their booty
from a drawer located between the out
or and inner doors OF the safe. They
we're evidently unable TO get into the
inside apartment or we're too frighten-
ed TO remain longer In the vicinity af.
ter blowing of the outside door.
The burglars left nothing behind by
which they could be traced and as they
had five or six hours start the chances
for apprehension are not Of the best.
The thieves we're aided in their work
by the fact that the postoffice is on
side street and the safe is in a back
room. V. Frank Rising Is the post
master.
Admission 10 the building was Sc
cured by prying open rear door with
n" Jimmy" which the gang in its haste
left behind when 1t skipped the town,
| probably on an early morning freight.

ANNOYED BY POLES
POwnal People Object to Action Of Electric
Road Workers.

Road Workers.
The people of PowDal including the
Methodist parish, continue 10 find
cause for vexAtion in the action OF the
linemen engaged in setting the poles
for the Bennington trolley line. In ad-
d ,ton to their work in removing a val.
ued tree from the church property, it
Is now found, through survey made
by the church people, that at least one
pole and 40 feet of wire are on the
church grounds.
REV J. S. Mitchell, representing the
church, called on Orion M. Barber o.
Bennington, attorney for the trolley
company, and entered formal pro
test. Mr. Barber said that he would
have representative OF the road at
the next meeting of the official board
of the church so that settlement could
be effected. This meeting was held
Tuesday and Inspector Bates was
present but no action was taken as the
inspector said that he had no power to
act and that they would have to await
the action of the claim agent.
The pole in question is placed in such
a spot that it will have to remain where
it is, as change to the other side Of
the track would bring it in the high
way. The church people expect to re-
ceive substantial damages.
A lady in the village has made the
company remove pole for a stay wire
which was placed on her property with
out her permission.
