UNIQUE MONUMENT.
Rock In Field When Brothers Left il

Hollis, n. H., Nov. 6.-Seamed and
for more than a century there stands
on the common the oldest soldiers
monument in the country.
Until few years ago the monument
was bare rock representing the toll
of two sturdy brothers, Benjamin and
Joseph Nevens, performed by them on
the 10Th of April, 1876. When the call
for the minute men of rs came these
two brothers We're drawgin this heavy
rock across the common. which was
then a field in their farm. Almost
literally leaving their plow in the
furrow and saddling their horses the
brothers left the rock in the spot where
it now stands and answered the call to
march to Lexington.
In the very field now represented by
the village common. there gathered
with the Nevens brothers ninety othAff

they did valiant service and later
participated in the battle OF Bunker

revolutionary war.
A large number of the Hollis men In
the revolution persisted and for years
there stood in the middle of the village

respect for these dead. A few years

Of City Of St. John, n. B.,
Under An Old Grant.
Includes Site Of City Hall and
Comprises 1104 Acres.
St. John Not Much Alarmed at
crompton neirs' Claim.

st. John. n. B., Nov. III. f..
Wardroper common clerk of ST John.
Saturday received letter from firm
OF lawyers. Hayes, Williams, Baker &
Hersey of Boston, making demand on
the city to property comprising a large
section Of the city.
The firm states that it has been re-
tanned by the heirs of William Comp
ton to establish their claim to 11o4
acres Of land, portion OF which is
now occupied by the City hall.
The letter states that tract is
portion of the 1904 acres received by
William Compton from the King of
England by grant, and our clients are
his direct heirs and we hereby notify
you that the city is holding it's property
without right or authority and we in
tend to take immediate action to es-
tablish our right to the property
At City hall it was said in reference
to the matter that the city has clear
title to the land on which the City hall
stands, and that the lawyers have
probably made a mistake.
Records show that William Compton
drew Lot No. 1904 in the original
granting, and it is thought the number
of the lot has been misunderstood as
meaning acres. Lot No. 1104 is now
part of st. james street. and includes
residences known as the Sears terrace.
Henry NJ. Williams of Cambridge, a
member of the firm of Hayes. Williams.
Baker & Hersey. who are representing
the heirs in the matter, refused Fri
day night to divulge the names of the
heirs or to discuss the case in any OF
it's phases.
He further stated that the firm would
later have nothing to say publicly in
regard to the letter written to Mr.
Wardroper.

There was q mysterious shooting af-
fair at Saco ferry. 3l2 miles from Saco,
Saturday night, which the officers have
been unable to solve. About I P. NJ.
Mrs. Joseph Rivers. aged about 81,
who lives on she ferry road, stepped
to the dooryard to see if her husband.
who was in Saco on business, was
coming. She was accompanied by her
dog. AS she StOoc in the driven ay lis
tening for her husbands rig there was
a report of a gun and the dog fell dead
beside her Mrs. Rivers, although
nearly overcome by fright. ran to
the house of neighbor, where she told
her story and the police We're notified
in Saco. A squad of officers was sent
to the scene. They have been unable
to find the man who did the shooting.
An official of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford was in Saco Sat
urday for the purpose of negotiating
with E. L. Pr BILE for Mr.. Prehle's
residence on the corner of Elm and
North streets, which he intends to use
as his residence. Mr.. Preble named
his own price. which was promptly
paid by the railroad man, whose pres
ence and contemplated residence in
Saco probably means that the rumor
that the road is to have it's terminus
in Old orchard has become fact. The
new owner will occupy the house in
about year, he says, and also wishes
TO purchase the dwelling directly in
its rear.
The appointment of Boyd Bartlett
as one of the teaching force in the

pleasant bit of news to his many

Bartlett began his professional career
as principal OF the high school of Cas-
tine. the same school from which Ell

ton supervisorship. For the past
seventeen years Mr.. Bartlett has been
sub-master of the Chelsea high school
and has taught successfully Greek,
Latin. German and mathematics. Dur
ing the past three years he has taught
in the South Boston evening school.
DR.. D. o. S. Lowell, now headmaster
of the Roxbury Latin school, was prin-
cipal of the Ellsworth high school at

some fine delegations of students sent
to Bowdoin, who have subsequently
made their mark.

The defence in the present action

bad man why don't they ask him to tell

But neither side wishes to do that.
