$4,000 SUIT AGAINST FLEMING.
Henry w. Goddard Says His Injuries on
Night of Sept. 20 Were Result OF
Flemne's Negligence.

Damages of $4,000 are sought in a
lawsuit against William S. Fleming
which Henry w. Goddard has filed this
week in the county clerks Office through
his attorneys, Chase & Daley. Mr.. Cod
dard, who was a teamster for the Crys-
tai Springs Ice company, was injured
badly on the night of Sept. 20 by being
run over by a dumpcart in which he had
been riding while hauling goods on Yer
non street. on that night Fleming and
Harold Shaffner, riding in Flemings au-
tomobile, came up behind Goddard and
the automobile ran into the dumpcart,
throwing Mr.. Goddard down behind the
horses One wheel passed over his body,
splitting his spleen open and necessitat-
ing an operation for the removal of the
spleen.
Mr.. Goddard alleges that Fleming
allowed Shaffner to drive the automobile
at a great speed and in a reckless, care
less and negligent way. Fleming was
arrested Friday by Deputy Sheriff C. E.
Mann and was released, II. E. Eddy of
C. C. Fttss law office becoming surety
for his appearance in county court.
Shaffner was tried Nov. 90 and 81 in
an action by the state charging him with
reckless driving and was found guilty by
Judge w. r. Daley of the municipal
court and fined $40. Fleming was one
of the witnesses. He testified that on
the night trip of Sept. 20 he had several
drinks of beer at different places and
that Shaffner, who drove the car, had
two drinks, which the witness thought
were ginger ale He said the car was
going from ~ to Is miles an hour when
the accident happened, in his judgment

THE PRESERVATION OF THE DEER,

Up to the November open season OBJ
servers noted fewer deer and fewer
signs of deer than for several previous
years. Almost everyone believed that
the hunters would find them scarce, as
predicted in the very excellent and
forcefully written correspondence of L.
\. Foster in the county papers, but the
scarcity he predicted seems not to have
been realized, especially in Wndham
and Windsor counties-the Weld of
buck deer being larger, according to
area, in Windham county than in Wind
sor or in any other county in the state
The great number killed is, however
partly accounted for by the fact that
the snow was about as favorable as
possible for leading the hunters directly
to their quiet hiding places in the thick
cts, from which those not killed were
frightened into roaming about the open
country, where many of them met their
| death at the hands of expert rihemen.
There has evidently never before been a
season in which so many buck deer, in
proportion to the whole number, have
| been killed. 1t may be long before we
have another so favorable a season, and
extra care should be used for the preser-
| walton of what may be left.
The result of the seasons hunt has,
on the whole, been encoura ging to those
who, like Mr. Foster want the deer
! protected. Their great number and size
show how the deer thrive in our climate,
and shows at how little cost they may
! be grown.
! l live upon a farm with outlots and
| out farms upon which the deer have
| been plenty. In reference to the dam
| age done by them to crops my expert
| ence has been similar to Mr.. Fosters
| l believe the damage has been greatly
exaggerated The deer seldom feed in the
| open fields. Their living is mostly OBJ
| tanned from leaves, MOSES and other
wild growths of the woods. On my
! ground they have sometimes nibbed a
| little clover beet tops, peas or beans, but
| never have done so much damage as
they have been worth to be seen. We
| have never asked the state to pay any
| thing. Under the naples in front of my
house I much prefer deer to dogs
Al one time when two deer were feed
, ing there, one of these perfectly worth
| less spotted dogs came along and chased
| them off to the woods. l could hear
him barking for some time after reach
| ing the woods. l shall not be a mourner
when that dog dies. The deer suffer
more damage from dogs than most peo-
pie are aware Fewer dogs would be a
benefit to deer as well as sheep.

A CLEVER SWlNDLER.
cured Money from e. r. Copeland of
Colraln, Mass.

The clever swindler who gets money
from veterans by claiming to be an old
soldier has been heard from in Colrain
where he secured SIS from Edgar F.
Copeland prominent farmer and stock
grower
The man said his name was Jesse
Jones" and that he was a member of
Company X, Ninth Vermont regiment of
infantry. Mr.. Copeland was a veteran
of that company and remembered Jesse
Jones as a young man, but as he hadn't
seen him for 80 years, did not question
the mans story.
The faker put up his usual story that
he had been to the funeral of a daughter
and was on his way back to the soldiers
home here at Bennington. He said he
was H. and Mr.. Copeland took him in and
kept him for a week and then started
him on his way with SIS in his pocket.
Col. Thomas Harmon, superintendent of
the soldiers home, was also member of
Company X of the Ninth and this morn
ing Mr.. Copeland called up the Home to
see If Jones' had arrived safely. The
man is undoubtedly the same who vic
timized people in Rupert recently. He
there claimed his name to be Rogers"
Mr.. Copeland told Col Harmon that he
would come to Bennington and would
make an effort to run down the swindler
Mr.. Copeland is a wel-to-do man and
can afford to lose the money, but objects
to having other veterans swindled. An
interesting feature of the case is that the
real Jesse Jones is still living in Jamai-
ca, this state. Col. Harmon suspects that
the swindler has probably sometime
called on Mr.. Jones and SO knows some
thing about him as in his talk with Mr..
Copeland he told some things that showed
knowledge of Jones's life.-[Bennington
