BERLIN WOMAN SUED.
Mrs. Fanny D. Erhardt Defendant In a
$1,000 Action.

Rutland, Feb. l4.-Claiming that she
knowingly sold him cow infected with
tuberculosis, although she guaranteed it
was sound, I. n. Chase of Brandon and
Arthur A. Beeman of Norwich have
brought suit in Rutland county court
against Mrs. Fanny d. Erhardt of Ber-
lin, this state, to recover $4,000 dam
ages. The allegation is that the COW
infected number of other members of
valuable herd of Ayrshire cattle at
the Forest Park stock farm in Bran
don, owned by the plaintiffs, and that
in addition to suffering from the loss
of cattle by death. Messrs. Chase and
Beeman were unable to make sales
they would otherwise have negotiat-
ed because the news was spread abroad
that their herd was infected. Some of
thu best lawyers in Vermont have been
engaged for the case and its trial will
be one of the most important at the
March term of county court
The COW which caused all the trouble
was an Ayrshire named "DoIfbble Tib-
bic 3" and the price the plaintiffs paid
for her was 1925. 1t is alleged in the
declaration that the COW died of tuber-
culosis short time after it was TAX
en- TO Brandon and that as result of
infection from this animal, ten other
members of the Forest Park herd sue
cumbed to tuberculosis. The plaintiffs
also aver that they were put to great
expense in disinfecting and taking other
steps to get rid OF the malady. which
threatens the entire herd.
Rufus T.. Brown and V. A. Bullard

Hermit's Home Filled With Expensive
Furniture.


The New York World had an article
in regard to George Colby. native OF
Windsor and whose mother was mill
ner there for some years. MIR. Colby
was known in east New York as the
hermit of Vermont street and had
lived by himself having no contact
NTH the outside world. doing ,his own
cooking and taking his only walks
abroad from his home TO the postofiiee
and back again. For sixteen years he
has lived in ramshaekle building w6ieh
he purchased and in whose yard was
accumulated the debris of years. Thurs
day, Jan. IL. fire broke out in the house
and the visit of fremen revealed an UNI
suspected condition of affairs. Within
the building were two pianos, hand
some oil paintings. bits of statuary, inn
ported rugs OF unusal design and a well
stocked law library, stacked on mahOg-
any shelves The hermit refused to
speak even when the flames We're eating
their way into the things he loved best
and when the firemen announced that
the fire was out, he went in and closed
tho door behind him. The roof fell
in and little was saved of the building
or contents, the fire burning through the
second story and water and smoke de-
stroying the beautiful things on the low
err floor. Why Mr.. Colby chooses to live
apart from his fellowmen is unknown,
although there are rumors of trouble
in his family or some unhappy love
affair.

Says Prisoners Are Taught Useless
Trades.

In the February American Magazine
there is the first of series of articles
entitled "The Man in the Cage" which
is to deal with prisons sand prisoners.
One of the interesting facts brought
out in the first article is that thousands
OF men prisoners in America are taught
women's work and other trades which
arc absolutely useless to them when
they leave jail and try again to earn
a living. Following is an interesting ex-
tract:
to-day there are, as far as | can
estimate, some ten thousand, prisoners
learning needle trades in our various
prisoners. Every one of these men Is
forcing some working girl outside into
ideness, or a lower standard OF living,
or the lowest step OF all. And every
one of these men hates his work and
the state which has broken faith with
him.
Let US glance at some of the other
important prison industries. There is
the hollowware industry. In the prison
foundry the men may be taught to cast
those great black iron pots and pans,
griddles, skillets and skewers which
formed the chief equipment in your
grandmother's kitchen, but which to-
day--what with the growing popularity
of aluminium and agateware-a re rele-
gated more or less to the homes of the
poor and to the more backward COM
muntes This is a difficult and dan
gerous trade to learn. But the fierce
competition of the prison goods has SIM
ply destroyed the industry so that to-
day there is scarcely a single hollow
ware foundry in the United States out
side the prison | base this statement
upon the authority of the Z. $. bureau
OF labor Goth Ann. Rept., p. 1901 and
a letter from j. p Valentine, presi-
dent of the Ironmolders' Union OF
North America. In order to earn liy-
ing at this trade, as Judge and warden
and chaplain have promised him, the
eN convict must return to prison!
"Or the prisoner may be taught broom

prison industry. This is not exclusive

few occupations open to the sightless
unfortunates. When the discharged con-

The state of Minnesota trains its

Hcuk. state commissioner OF labor, that
there is only one other binding Irvine

turing of binding Irvine is not skilled
