BURLINGTON MADE DEFENDANT
In $4,000 Suit for Damage to Business
Block.

Burlington, Dec. iO-Homer E..
Wright, Clayton j. Wright and Clinton
S. Wright. owners OF the Haywood block
on Main street, have brought suit against
the city Of Burlington for $1,000 dam
ages, alleged to have been caused to
their building by the bursting of wa
ter pipe on December l3, 1904.
The grievance is old but redress by
means of the law has inst been sought,
1t Is claimed by the Wrights that ow-
ing to the condition Of a plug in wa
ter conduit or Main street, which, it is
said, had not been inspected for 90 years,
the cellar of the Hayward building was
flooded and material damage done. The
supports of the building were under
mined. the walls and ceilings cracked
and the whole structured settled.
A claim was presented by the Wrights
and considered by the superintendent of
the water department. He reported that
the city was in no way to blame and
the city engineer even suggested that
the natural settling Of the building might
have caused the damage TO the water
main. The matter has been hung up for
a long time but now will probably be
taken to the March term of Chittenden
county court. J. f. Cushman and A. l..
sherman are the attorneys for the plain
tiff.

SAW WAVING STICK
Apparently with Nothing to Make 1t
Move-Found Boy Underneath

While going home this noon, H. II.
Hodgdon was some startled to see the
end of an umbrellu handle sticking up
through the iron CRATES OF the intake
to surface sewer at the corner of Elm
and Franklin streets, and the stick being
worked back and forth as much as the
space between the CRATES would allow.
As soon as he was able to comprehend
what he saw, Mr. Hodgdon got down
and, peering into the darkness of the
hole, was some more surprised to see a
boys face looking up at him. Mr. Hodg
don at once got an iron bar and prying
up the CRATE from the top Of the sewer
reached down and pulled a thoroughly
chilled youngster out.
A large crowd Of people had been at
tracted to the scene, and they piled the
boy with questions as to how he got
in there The boy thought it huge
joke and said that he was crawling up
Potash brook ON the ice. This brook is
covered over from the rear of the Buzzell
block mp to where it crosses Elm street
Just above where the boy was found, and
II appears that the boys in the summer
time had made this trip from one end
to the other, when the water was low
in the brook This boy was trying it
on his sled, pushing it along on the ice.
He said he entered the tunnel at the rear
Of the Buzzell block and had worked
his way along until he reached the sur
face sewer entrance, and the ice had
filed up the channel so that he could
not go any farther. He had thus crawled
in the pitch darkness over 200 yards.
Finding that he could not go any
farther, and rather than to turn back,
he decided to run the stick which he
had with him up through the sewer hole
and signal to people passing by on the
sidewalk. He said that he had been sig
mailing only few minutes when Mr..
Hodgdon found him. The boy is about
IL years Of age He refused to give his
name and scampered away as soon as his
sled had been pulled out Of the sewer
hole after him.

WILLS ROOSEVELT LAND.
Admirer Then Changes His Mind and
Takes Back the Bequest.

South Bend, Ind, Dec. l0.-Theodore
Roosevelt was presented with 1000 acres
Of valuable timberland by former ad-
mirer whose will was probated in South
Bend yesterday, but this man just be-
fore his death changed his mind, and in
a eodicil bequeathed the entire property
to his brother.
Charles W. Hall, who died at Benton
Harbor, Mich, year ago, left an estate
worth between 100000 and 100000.
His will includes this provision:
"To Col. Theodore Roosevelt of Wash
ington, D. c., give and bequeath 1000
acres of timberland, located on Brim-
stone creek, in Scotland county, Ten.
nessee, to have and to hold during his
natural life"
The original will bears the date Of
Oct 3, 1908, but the testator, follow
ing the presidential election that year,
experienced change of mind, and on
Dec. .23 made codicil, taking back the
bequest to Mr.. Roosevelt and giving the
land to his brother
The codicil does not reveal the testa-
tors motive.

excellent advantage the results Of care
full and conscientious training The
whole thing was mirth maker from
start to finish, and if stage activity and
lively scenes combined to maintain fun
at its highest pitch, the members Of the
cast were not wanting in any respect.

were greeted with well-deserved applause

Harvey J. 0'Higgins writes to the
editors Of Everybody's Magazine from
Denver as follows;
''Denver's beast has turned poleeat'
again. Unable TO refute a single charge
made by Judge Lindsey in The Beast
and the Jungle the organs and agents
of political corruption and protected vice
in Denver have begun national cam
paign of public slander in order to de-
fend themselves by discrediting him.
They are mailing, by the hundreds, to
all parts of the United States, newspa-
pers and pamphlets containing misre-
port, and perjured affidavit against the
man who has exposed them to public
contempt in q statement Of facts for
which they can find no answer
He then cites many instances Of at
tempts to blacken Judge Lindsey's name,
and their refutations. An editorial note
which precedes the article in the Christ
mas Everybody's says;
The interests attacked by Judge Lind
sey in The Beast and the Jungle are
irving now to make the Judge pay the
price for his temerity in attacking
them. The Lindssys, the Lawsons, and
the Others who lead crusades against the

WAYS have to pay, usually all through
their lives. That is one reason why

DROUGHT MAKES 1000 IDLE.
Not Enough Water In Kennebec to Keep
Mill Running.

Wateryille, Me-, Dec. l0.-More than
1000 employees of mills in the city are
out of employment because there is not
water enough in the Kennebec river to
keep the wheels turning.
For some time past the Lockwood cot
ton mill has been working half the crew
nights and the other half days, but yes
terday there was not water enough to
keep even a part of the plant in opera
tion. and it will be closed until eondi-
tions improve.
The Hollingsworth & Whitney paper
mill is greatly hampered, but as much
of the machinery as possible is kept IN
operation. The electric power companies
can barely keep their patrons supplied
by using their steam plants and by va
rious combinations OF the stations
Power conditions have not been 50 bad
for many years as at present. Water
in the river here is lower than usual in
midsummer, and the supply kept in
storage by dams at Moosehead lake is
nearly exhausted Only protracted
thaw can relieve the situation now and
that as a rule does not come until
January.
