the storm has blown over. II the facts
in the case as stated by IsbeIl are true,
Pueblo has no grounds whatever for
taking the matter to the courts. 1t was

AMERICAN SPLINTER Is FOUND

Time for One Hundred
Yard Dash.

NEW YORK. Feb. I3.-At no period in
the history Of track and field in the
United States has there been so much ex-
element shown as at the present time.
In every quarter of the country where
the practice Of track and field sport has
been established there is nothing but
talks Of the olympic struggle next sum
mer and nearly every man with preten-
sions TO first class has already begun to
train for the tryouts- No doubt there will
be plenty OF good material on the Ameri-
can team. but the particular department
in which everybody who wants TO see
the stars and stripes victorious again is
mostly interested in the sprints. A man
who could come inside ''svens' for the
century today would be nothing short of
godsend, for he would be tower of
strength where there Is apparent weak
ness.
AL through the winter there has been
wishes for q hope" in the sprinting
world, but II was not till few days ago
that anything likely appeared. The man
is George Hoffman. formerly Of Purdue
university, and now connected with the
faculty Of that institution Hoffman is
not a newcomer in the sprinting world.
for last March at the Intercollegiate con-
ference meet held at Evanston, Ill, he
won the sixty yards in the worlds record
time OF rs seconds. His best time for
the 100 yards is 10 seconds and FOR 20
yards . seconds. and these figures he has
frequently repeated. Something about the
Indiana man, and which enhances his
value as a competitor. is that he has
shown ability TO repeat on the same day,
and he was never once headed in any OF
his races last year.

County Court.

The case of Geo. Johnson VS. George
Uric was one of trespass in which
Greensboro parties were involved and
was tried the first of last week. 1t
appea ared from testimony that the de-
fendent, Geo. Uric. a boy of thirteen
years, when requested by his mother
to bring in some wood, either refused
or neglected to do so and that the
plaintiff. Geo. Johnson, who worked
for the Uries was asked tn do the
work. He proceeded to prepare the
wood, using the defendants axe.
When Uric dmanded his axe, Johnson
did not give it up and Uric became
enraged and they had something of
scuff1e. which resulted in the plaintiff
Johnson being struck near one eye by
knife in the hands of the defendent
Uric. The defendants plea was self
defense, which was not made out to
the satisfaction of the court, where
upon, on motion of counsel for the
plaintiff the jurors were charged that
the only question for them to decide
was one of damages and they brought
in a verdict for the plaintiff to recov-
er damages in the sum of $400. The
case was closed on Wednesday. On
Thursday morning the case Barton
Savings Bank and Trust Company VS.,
/. Stephenson and nine others, as
sumpsit, was taken up In this case
action is brought by the Bank people
to recover on promissorv note for
$1,000, signed by the defendants, which
note was first held by the Barton Ma,
tional Bank and later transferred to
the Barton Savings Bank and Trust
Company. 1t appears that the pres.
ent date of this note is not the same
as appeared when the note was Civ
en-. the typewriter date having been
defaced with pen and later substi.
tuted. Plaintiff rested after having
presented evidence to show that the
note was in the same condition now
as when first received by them. The
contention of the defendants is that
if the date of this note has been
changed from the date it bore when
signed by them then, their liability
in the matter ends and they should
be released from payment. Defense
has produced several witnesss whose
testimony was to the effect that when
theg signed the note it bore the orig
inal date. Some evidence on the
part of the plaintiffs has been intro
! duced relative to ar agreement SUBJ
sequent to the changing of the date
or the note whereby they Stllh nope
to retain the liability of the signers.
The case is one of considerable inter-
est and will run some days longer no
doubt. work being resumed Tuesday

were excused. Counsel in this case

State Highway Commissioner Chas
w. Gates of Franklin. met the road
commissioners of the county, and
others interested, at the opera house,
Newport, on Tuesday, Mar. 19, and the
meeting proved of exceptional inter-
est to all present. There were pres
ent at the forenoon session about 100
men, comprising the road commits
sioners and selectmen of the various
towns, all. with exception of those in
the Missisquoi valley, heing repre-
sented. The time was taken by Mr..
Gates for an address in which he
outlined the work for the coming
season and suggested plans for the
work in various localities The sum
of $8800 has already been appropriat-
ed by the towns in the county for
road work. To this sum thk state
adds an equal amount making. $4,000.
and in addition to this there is the
proceeds of the automobile fund.
This total will produce fund, which
with proper use should make a credit
able addition to the good road build
ing already begun in our county. The
afternoon was given over to Mr..
Dodge of the Bureau of Good Roads
at Washington. D. C. for an illus
trated lecture. By means of Ian
tern operated by Rev. H. B. Rankin
and Rev. F. S. Lathers, pictures of
good and bad roads in various locali-
ties were shown. The methods of
building the good roads were ex-
planned and remedies for correcting
the construction in the poor roads
were suggested. After the lectur e
an hour was given to those present
for questions regarding the subject
under consideration, the quizzing be-
ing productive Of much general infor-
nation and some entertainment.
About 120 were present in the after
noon. Arrangements for the meeting
were in charge of County Road Com
missioner S. B. Bates of Derby and
Mr.. Lane kindly donated the use of
