Van nxks wIn. ors, G. 7. b.

The masters in the celebrated case OF
George Van Dyke VS.. the Grand Trunk
Railway company have tiled with the at
torneys on both sidee Of the case draft
Of their findings. They found for the
plaintiff to recover but the amount is not
made public.
Mr.. Van Dyke, who was killed q few
weeks ago in an automobile accident, sued
the Grand Trunk Railway company for
approximately 100000 alleging thst
fires set by locomotives OF the defendant
company burned over an immense tract
OF land owned by him in Essex county.
This has been one OF the most widely
known cases and involving one OF the
largest amounts OF any ever docketed in
Vermont courts. II was entered in Gale
donia county court in December, 1904,
aud was set for trial at that term before
Judge James NJ. Tyler. Because OF its
Importance and the four weeks or more It
was thought 1t would take to try il IN
county court, by consent Of counsel on
both sides Judge Tyler referred IT to T.
s. Plat OF Rutland, Horace F. Graham
OF Craftsbury and William H. Tayler
of Hardwick, as special masters.
The masters began taking testimony
in this case in February, 1905, and from
time to time held hearings at Bloomfield
and Island Pond until July, 1908, when
the arguments in the case were made be-
fore the masters at Woodstock. At the
various hearings in the case about 1000
pages OF testimony were taken. The
findings OF the masters will probably be
reported to the next December term OF
Caledonia county court, where the case
was originally entered, and it is quite
probable the supreme court will be called
upon for final action In the case.

For the first time in a worlds cham.
pionship series there is talk OF frame
up. Pittsburg and Detroit seesawed until
each team had landed three games, with
the worlds pennant hanging on the re-
suit of the seventh game. Pittsburg
pulled this out .decisively. Some say that
the Smoky City team could have won four
straight and would have done so II there
mad not been big money for all hands in
prolonging the series to the limit There
was nothing in the diamond work to in
dictate a throw-down; both teams seemed
to play their very best every minute.
But the results give rise to the suspicion
OF an understanding in the financial
interest OF the clubs and players. Base.
ball has generally been free from "ax.
ing, - and the fact Of collision in this in
stance is by no means established.

The informal reception given Thurs
day evening at Maple Hall to Hon. W.

EFT, Mrs. Weston H. Rice, Mrs. Alfred

ioyed BY all.
During the afternoon the senator was
taken for an auto ride through Oakland,
Berkeley, Alameda and Fruitvale by j. E.
