N. Y. TRIBUNE SUED FOR LIBEL.
B. s. Balestier Brings Action for $780,
900 Because of False Story.

Through Gibson & Waterman and
Scott, Epson & Newcomb, Brattleboro
and New York attorneys for Beatty S.
Balestier, suit was entered Saturday
afternoon in New York against the
New York Tribune for libel in the sum
OF 100000. On Dec. 4, the New York
Tribune published dispatch stating
that Beatty S. Balestier, brotherin-
law of Rudyard Kipling, had been ar
by Mrs. Agnes H. Baker of Cleveland,
o. Mr.. Balestier directed his attor-
neys to bring suit against that paper
for damages in the sum of 100000
for alleged libel Gibson & Waterman
stated Saturday night that such suit
had been brought. the legal papers
having been placed in the hands of
Scott, Upson & Newcomb, Mr.. Bales
tiers New York counsel. Mr.. Bales
tier and Mr. Waterman returned from
New York Friday evening, after hav-
ing completed arrangements for hav
ing the papers served. Trial will be
had in the state supreme, court. but
the condition of the docket is such
that the case will probably not be
reached for about a year.
The Tribune dispatch caused con-
siderable comment and so far as is
known here in Brattleboro its origin is
mystery. The dispatch stated that
Mr.. Balestier had been arrested for
larceny and placed in bail in the sum
of $1,000. 1t also stated that he was
real estate agent, that he had been
in charge of Mrs. Baker, summer
home; that he had diverted the prem
Uses to his own use; that he had sold
off the horses. cattle and chickens and
fifty cords of fertilizer and had peck
eted the money, and that he had been
renting the land and keeping the
rental.
The story was reprinted throughout
the country as far west as Los Ange-
les. and as far south as Galveston,
Texas. Two days later, Dec. 6. the
Tribune printed the statement that it
had been informed by Scott. Upson &
Newcomb that no criminal charge had
been preferred against Mr.. Balestier.

HENKEL VS.. RETTING.
Latter Says Former Didn't Do Any
thing but Rough Work on Statue.

Another chapter has been added t
the controversy between John j. Ret
ting and John Henkel, ST., as to whom
belongs the credit for the making OF
the statue typical of agriculture which
now surmounts the dome of the state
house at Montpelier. Mr.. Retting re
Gently gave out that he built the statue
and story of the events leading up to
its construction. He stated that il
was built under contract for Larkin G
Mead, the sculptor, who was engaged
to furnish it after the old state. house
was burned in 1857.
John Henkel. ST., wood carver in
the employ of the Estey Organ COM
pany, stated soon afterward that he
built the statue for Mr.. Retting. and
that the latter did nothing except to
turn the base. According to Mr.. Hen
KEEL, he was in New York when Retting
wrote to him and asked him to obtain
the services of some other man and
come to Brattleboro and carve the
statue, which he claims he did Mr..
Retting stOutly defends his original
story and says that all Mr.. Henkel had
to do with the original statue was to
chip it out in rough form, such work
as any ordinary workman could do,
not having at that time advanced in
the. art of wood carving sufficiently to
make the finished statue.
Mr.. Retting says that no one but
himself is entitled to the credit of
making the statue, and that Mr.. Hen.
KEEL is not justified in taking the stand
that he does. Mr.. Retting says that he
worked at his trade in Lubbock, Ham
burg, Berlin, Bremen Dresden, Leip-
sic, Munich, Vienna and other cities
before coming to America, and figures
that he made over so years ago on
monuments still testify to his excel
lence as a wood-carver
