DECISION FOR THE COUNTY.
Town or Village of Manchester Have No
Title to Courthouse.

Bennington, Feb. l3. Chancellor
Frank L. Fish, who presided at the last
term OF Bennington county court, has
returned his finding OF facts In the case
of the county OF Bennington VS.. the
town of Manchester and the village OF
Manchester in the case brought to deter
mine the title to the county courthouse
in the town of Manchester. Tfinding
If facts sustains the contention of the
orator that neither the town OF Man
chester, the village nor the Manchester
fire district, which was the first incor-
poration in the town, has any title to
the building
The suit was brought primarily to
oust the town clerk of Manchester,
whose office, according to the chancel-
lor's finding of facts, was temporarily
located in one OF the rooms of the build
ing in 1905. -Four years later possession
of the building was demanded by the
assistant judges and the town refused to
vacate This was the first conflict about
which any right appears to have been
asserted between the town and county
No one appears to have as
serted any adverse rights in the occu-
pancy of the room now held by the town
clerk. The chancellor finds that the
town of Manchester, village and fire dis
trict never contributed to the construc-
tion, repair or support OF the courthouse.

INTERVENTION JUSTIFIED.
According To Opinion of British News
papers To-day.

London, Feb. l3--Several of the Lon-
don morning newspapers printed editor
ial comment on the Mexican trouble.
They generally recognize justification for
American intervention.
The Daily Mail says: American in
terests involved are very great. II the
Mexicans are wise, they viii settle their
differences as speedily as possible"
The Standard says: Nobody would
seriously object if the Washington state
department carried its activity still fur
ther. With the completion of the Pam
anna canal, American interest in the Sc
curity and stability of the Central Amer
lean states will grow too strong to be
denied, and Mexico must get her affairs
in proper order or accept the jealous
supervision of her great neighbor."
American intervention is unavoid-
able" declares the Daily Graphic, which
adds: This may profoundly modify the
political geography of North America

A MYSTERIOUS ROOM.
What Was Space in City Hall For2-Is
Troubling the Carpenters.

Carpenters at work on the first floor
changes In the city building have dis
covered room in the northeast corner
of the structure, the existence OF which
few, If anyone, in Barre familiar with
the construction OF the city hall knew
existed. Romantic joiners employed on
the alterations are connecting a number
of stories with the sizeable room that
Superintendent ii. Il. Reynolds of the
water department and Contractor A. b..
Lane have finished into a storeroom for
city use. 1t is located directly under
the top landing of the staircase lead
ing TO the auditorium and according TO
accurate measurements il is ten feet
square. Stairs leading from the corri-
dor near the water office have been
constructed to the new room, which
Superintendent Reynolds will utilize for
storage purpose.
Widest stories imaginable concerning
the mysterious room were bruited about
the corridors of city hall yesterday.
Some of the carpenters cling TO a legend
that a member of the square and gimlet
profession was employed to lathe the
little room one day, when he came mp
missing at the closing hour and was
never afterwards seen. To bear out the
story, they declare that by lathing over
every means of exit from the room he
made himself a prisoner and starved to
death when his fellow workmen failed
to hear his cries for help. The legend
Is yet to be established in fact as the
discoverers of the room found therein
little that resembled the bones of the
legendary carpenter.
Changes to the city hall interior hav.
led TO discussion and contemplation OF
other alterations. Over the court room
is vacant room, the side dimensions
of which coincide with those of the court. |
1t has been proposed to lower the cell !
ing of the court room and construct |
a pair of dressing rooms overhead to be |
used in connection with the opera house. |
The unused space is large enough for
two good sized offices and it has been |
that it could be better util
lied for dressing rooms. Large com
panies playing in the theatre are now
TO use the courtroom for this
purpose. The space overhead is acces
,ibie neither by door or window, al
though there is ample opportunity to cut
entrances and to introduce light.
