A Sunday "a t4osk Trade.

A very exciting and noyel case was

I Eugene Ballou and Frank Durkee met at
East Randolph and talked about swap
ping horses. Ballou hadn't seen Dur
kee's horse, which was in possession Of
one Smith, and arrangeme ents were made
to visit Smiths premises Sunday morn
ing, which Ballou and Dufkee did, result
ing in Ballou driving away Durkee's
horse and Durkee driving Ballou's, so a
change of horses was made.
Later in the day, Ballou went back to
Durkee and offered him his horse and de-
manded the one be let Darkee have.
Durkee refused TO let him have II and Il
is not certain Just what language be used,
but Ballou left and didn't go back till
Sheriff Howe, armed with Feplevin writ,
went to Durkee's and took Ballou's orig
inal horse and delivered II to Ballou and
the trial was to determine whether there
was an unlawful detention of the horse
by Durkee. Ballou's claim was that the
trade was made on Sunday and therefore
void.
Durkee's claim was that the trade was
all made Saturday and nothing done Sum
day only to carry out that trade. Law
was read that a sale or exchange of horses
on Sunday is void, and Justice Hebard
took the case under advisement and hand
ed down his decision that Durkee is gull

horse and that Durkee shall pay one dol |

Corr Canning Finished.

The Demeritt q Palmer factory finishes
its corn canning run today that it began
Sept. 5. AS soon as the machinery can
be put in shape-probabiy by the middle
Of next week-it will begin canning
squash. Some storage room will be made
by the immediate shipment OF a carload
OF corn.
The present season has been the most
successful OF the six that the factory has
run. A total of about 1856, 900 quart cans,
or about 10000 cases, has been put up,
which is the record output. In quality,
also, the product is superior to that Of
former years. The managers, e. r. Palm
er, Jr., and Richard Demeritt, who have
been on the ground since the start, say
that they ind the conditions about Ran
dolph very favorable for sweet corn grow
ing. The soil is better adapted to it than
that of the Waterbury section where their
other factory is located. The farmers,
too, are learning how to raise the corn,
how to fertilize, what ground to select,
how to care for II, etc., so that results to
the producers are better than formerly
Some big yields are reported, among
them about 80 tens OF ears from Charles
Hulbert's IL acres, and 40 tons from
Pearl Campbell's nine acres, with others
about as good. So we'll pleased are the
farmers,that next years acreage, about
$50 acres, is already practically assured.
samples Of this years product, sent to
sales agents, have been returned with
good reports, and the output will find as
ready a market as that OF last years,
every can OF which was sold. The fac
tory people still hope to introduce the
canning OF peas, when the necessary ma
chinery can be secured.
A husking machine, tried at the Water /
bury factory this year, did not work out |
we'll, as it mutilated the kernels aud in 1

Last Friday was the record day for
business. In a steady run Of ten hours,
35, 900 cans were put up. In the evening
fully two hundred huskers attacked the
huge pile OF ears and held jolly and
profitable "bee" until midnight. A good
many dollars are picked up during the
canning season by workers that would
not otherwise be earned. Men and
boys and girls Of all ages and
conditions OF health take hold. One
woman and two small sons have earned
over S36 husking at such times as they
,ould spare from other duties.
