field has been forced TO close down for an
indefinite time, the lack OF stock being the
cause. The quarries at Bethel are getting
out plenty OF stone, but the railroads are
unable TO carry the stock to Northfeld
fast enough to keep the sheds working.
The shutdown has put about 800 men out
of work until after New Years and posi-
bly, longer. Most Of the grauite plants In
Barre and vicinity shut down for the usual
holiday vacation, some for two days, Others
for a week, and still others until after New
Years. Business is good so that there
will be no unnecessary suspension OF
great length. Many cutters from other
granite eenters have recently been taken
on in Barre.
Because Of injuries sustained in the
Burlington railroad station, Charles ID.
Phelps OF New Jersey has sued the Rutland
Railroad 20. for the sum OF $1,000. Mr..
Phelps claims that the night OF the acct
dent, October Z, he was making his way
through the RAILROAD yard to his train, the
night sleeper for New York, which was on
the western track in the station. The
1920 O'Clock train from Rutland was on
the second track and Mr.. Phelps had to
walk between the two trains. He stun bled
over a switch and fell, suffering nervous
shock and severe bruises and sprains, and
| injuring one foot so badly that he is still
Obliged to walk with cane. The suit
will be tried in the United States circuit
court which convenes in Burlington feo. o.

court for contempt has been adjusted by
the deposit with the Chittenden County
Trust Co. of =, 900, to be held pending the

in contempt Oct. 81 for not having pro-
duced before the grand jury of Chittenden
county all OF the books, accounts, etc !,

pending the final decision.
