THE DEER NUISANCE
The State Pays for Damages Done
by Her Wards.


In response to a Mendon CORE
spondent's complaint of damages by
deer the Rutland Herald reprints the
law relating to payment Tor such
damages by the state:
ga person who suffers loss of or
damage to crops, fruit trees or shrub
berry by deer, may within 10 days
after such damage occurs, inform in
writing the chairman of the board of
selectmen of the town wherein the
damage was done or loss suffered,
who shall proceed to the premises
where the damage was done or loss
suffered, and determine whether the
same was inflicted by deer, and il he
does so determine, said selectman
shall call in the county fish and game
warden, and if said county warden
shall also determine that the damage
was caused by deer, then said select
men and said county warden shall
determine and appraise the amount
thereof and return a certificate
thereof under oath to the auditor of
accounts who shall draw an order in
favor of such person for the amount
stated in such certificate"
The Herald adds: "The proceed
ure is eminently safe and practicable
and complaints like the Mendon
correspondents have no foundation
whatever in justice or fact. The
remedy is provided; take advantage
OF it or stop complaining"

A SLEEP PROBLEM

Gin these later years." said Mr..
Grayboy, 81 have found that l re-
quired less sleep. When l was
younger, used to sleep eight hours,
and frequently when was very
tired l could use nine. But there
came a time few years ago when
/ discovered that seven hours sleep
was ordinarily all that / required.
"Now, l mentioned this fact cas-
ually one day to a friend of mine,
and he said that this was one of the
benefits that came to men as they
increased in years-that requiring
less sleep they had more time for
labor and so could accomplish more,
and that this was one reason why
men of maturer years were counted
as of greater value.
"a pleasant fancy, that, I
thought.
Another friend of mine said
more plainly that my requiring less
sleep was a sign of my advancing
age; that very young people, young
children, required great deal of
sleep; that as people grew older
they required less, until in middle
life they needed, say eight hours Of
sleep, but that as men came to be
past middle age they required less
sleep, and my needing less simply
showed that | was getting old.
'Not quite SO pleasant, that, but
here is new complication: II
II find within the last few
months that | am again requiring
more sleep. Whereas for some years
seven hours l found sufficient, / now
sleep eight hours. And what does
that meanp Does it mean that l

Autos Should Give warming.

The state attorney Of Orleans
county has prosecuted number OF
Newport motor car drivers Tor
neglecting to "whistle" at the inter
section of cross streets in the village
limits. Perhaps the official was
over Jealous in requiring this pre-
caution where its observance meant
the steady squawk of auto horns at
all hours of heavy traffic, but the
general principle is correct. The
horn should be sounded before
rounding curves, on approaching
crossroads, everywhere, in fact,
where sudden, appearance OF the
car might create alarm or panic. An
automobile travelling at 20 miles an
hour covers ID feet in second and
the warning given by the horn is
none too great. Rutland Herald.

WINDSOR COUNTY COURT
.UNE TERN, 1905.

JUNE TERM, 1905.
Hon. William H, Taylor. Presiding Judge.
HON. Hon. S Miio Buck Il; Markham Asst Judges
The court report this week, must
necessarily be confined to a brief
statement OF the progress made in
the case of Hicks VS., Jones & Lam
son Power Co. The remark of John
6. SAKE that a water case is always
dry, may or may not apply to this
case. The plaintiff introduced a
large number of copies Of deeds to
show title TO the lands and water
privileges claimed by him, and SO
far has examined rs witnesses. The
evidence tended to show that the
destruction of plaintiffs mill was
caused by the obstruction of the
natural flow of Black river by de-
PENDANTS dam, which caused the ice
and water to set back upon and ruin
plaintiffs soap stone mill, including
stock of soap stone in process of
manufacture and completed goods,
and the loss of his business.
A large map has been placed in
the count room to illustrate the To-
cations, and some twenty photo
graphs have BEEN put in evidence to
show the situations upon the river,
and in and about the plaintiffs shop
soon after the disaster that is under
investigation.
The defendant commenced to put
in testimony on Saturday morning,
calling as the first witness, Mr..
Davis, a civil engineer of Massachu-
sets.
The plaintiff has called as wit
nesses and as civil engineers, Rush
Chellis of Claremont, and Prot.
John w. Hazen Of Dartmouth col
lege. Prof. Hazen was one of the
instructors of Presiding Judge Tay-
lor, in Dartmouth college. The
other witnesses who have testified
for the plaintiff are Mr.. and Mrs.
John Hicks, H. H. Hicks, Allen M.
Wilder, town clerk E. w. Butter
field, Gene Farnsworth, Michael
Burke, Otis Stearns, ARENAS H..
Wheeler, Carroll Wheeler, R. E.
Thompson, Chas. Ross, Herbert
Brodish.
AS an interesting matter Of local
history, it appears that Weathers-
field was granted by Benning Went
worth, royal governor of New
Hampshire, August 20, 1901. The
grantees were principally from New
Haven, Conn. Among the grantees
was John Cornwall, and to him was
assigned lot 70 in the fourth division
and in that lot is located the lands
owned by plaintiff, and in lot 20 is
located the lands owned by defend
ant.
This township was re-chartered
by the government of New York,
April 8, 1777, to Gideon Lyman
and his associates. The original
New York charter, written on parob-
ment, and having appended to it an
enormous seal, was produced in
court.
The plaintiff is represented by
Davis & Davis and John 6. Sargent.
The defendant corporation is repre-
sented by Blanchard & Upper and
/ w, b, G., Stickney.

ASSAULT WITH AN AXE
Deputy Sheriff Hayden Of Ludlow
Attacked by an italian.

Deputy Sheriff F. A. Hayden of
Ludlow, aged about 40 years, was
murderously assaulted with an axe
at the lumber camp Of John Bowen
in Mt. Holly Saturday. morning by
Tony Vallento, an Italian, whom
Hayden attempted to arrest on a
civil process. Hayden was rushed
to Rutland by special train for treat
ment at the Rutland hospital, suffer
ing from an ugly cut on the leg and
one in the back, The special which
took the officer to Rutland took back
to Mt. Holly State Attorney r. A.
Lawrence and other officers.
Vallento was arrested an hour
after the assault by Constable E. S.
Burton OF Mt, Holly.at the Italians
home, mile from the scene oil the
attack. He was arraigned before
Justice w. M. Ross of Rutland on
the charge OF assault with intent to
murder and was locked up in default
OF $1,000 bail, the case being con
tinued week to await the result of
Hayden's wounds.
Officer Hayden drove to the camp
Saturday .morning, accompanied by
E. r. Thompson Of Ludlow, for the
purpose of foreclosing a chattel
mortgage given by Vallento, his idea
being to take Vallento if settlement
was NOT made. After some CONVEX
sation with the officer the Italian
asked Mr.. Hayden to put the matter
off for some days. This the officer
refused to do and the Italian became
greatly enraged. He grabbed a
double bladed axe and struck Mr..
Hayden on the back and leg before
Mr.. Thompson could interfere, pre-
venting third blow.
Mr.. Hayden tell to the ground
when struck and Mr.. Thompson
after fierce struggle with the for
eigner managed to get possession of
the axe. Vallento then turned to flee
and Mr.. Thompson threw the axe at
him. 1t did no harm, however, and
the Italian got possession Of it again
and renewed his attack on MIR.
Thompson.
Although PROSTATE Mr.. Hayden
was by no means out of the fight.
Drawing his revolver, he fired four
times at ValIento as the man twisted
and turned in his tussle with
Thompson. One of the bullets took
effect in the foreigners leg and to
this is probably due the fact that he
did not take flight but went home,
walking mile. VI
MIR. Thompson received severe
cut on his wrist from the axe.

Fertilizers for Summer and Fall
TOpdressing and Seeding Down..

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that
in many cases better results are
obtained on meadows from fertilizers
which are applied in the summer or
early fall. This is true both as to
top. dressing and seeding down.
We wish to call the attention of
the farmers of Vepmont to the fact
that we can furnish formulas for
mixing fertilizers especially adapted
to top.dressing and seeding down
grass land. These formulas have
not only been approved by the Yer
mont Experiment Station, but have
been used with excellent results by d
great many farmers in Vermont and
have proved thoroughly reliable. We
can also furnish the materials for
mixing fertilizers in accordance with
these formulas. We should be
pleased to send the formulas to-
gether with full directions for mix
ing, cost of materials, etc, to any
one who will write us, mentioning
this paper. Address Carroll S.
