Scotland Farm Basis of Suit.

Wednesday Deputy Sheriff A. J.
 Greenslit served papers in a civil suit against Barney and Minnie Schechter of Scotland, brought by Sarah Becky of Hebron. Fraud is alleged in dis posal of property in which the plaintiff is interested. It is claimed early in 1910 the plaintiff and Banner SchecElter Jointly purchased a farm in Scotland. At the end of the year the plaintiff sold her interest to Barney, taking three notes in part payment. One of the notesswas paid but the others, it is alleged. have been long overdue. On November 6, 1912, Barney sold the entire property to another party who on the same day disposed of the same to Minnie Schechter wife of Barney. The plaintiff endeavored to collect the money due on notes but could not do so. The method of the disposal of the property brought about the civil action. Damages of $500 are asked by the plaintiff as well as the amount of money equal to her interest in the farm The case is returnable at the April term of the superior court.

of charges for peddlers doing busi- ness in Danielson and says that he frequently issues permits for them to do so. though he feels that he does not get them all: Foot peddlers. S1 a day, B week. $4 a month. S6 year; singie teams. s1 day. $4 a week, slo month. S15 8 year; double teams, S1.60 2 oay. s6 a week. s15 naonth, $20 year.
 In order that all the pedd1ers be forced to pay these charges it would. of course, be necessary for the police to keep close watch of them, but Dantelson's policemen are not paid for regular duty and cannot in justice to themselves give their time to chasing every peddfer that comes into the bor- ough to do business. The only so1u- tion that seems to present itself is for the local fruit and produce dealers to watch this transient competition and when they find visiting dealer who is without a license to peddle report him to the police This also applies to transient dealers in other lines.
