M. H. Mansfield returned the latter
part OF last week from Oklahoma,
where he sold his place. He took
along a dozen copies of Homeseekers'
Edition, used them all and wished he
had brought more. He reports Okla

ley. We regret to state that Mr.. and
Mrs. Mansfield will leave the first of
next week for Lordsburg, N. NJ,
where Mr.. Mansfield will act as man.

Company's store, one of the largest
mercantile establishments in the en-
tire southwest. There is probably no
family that Simonites would regret
more to lose than the Mansfeld's so
very popular are they, Fortunately
their new home is net far away, and
the chances are that they will be well
coined here occasionally. Futher
more, The Belt predicts that it will
be quite impossible for them to shake
San Simon for good-eventually we
hope and believe they will be back
permanently. In the meantime they
will prove valuable additions to mu-
steal and social Lordsburg.-San ST.

There was a big fire in Deming Sat
urday night, which showed that
while Deming may have plenty Of
water for irrigating purposes it has
mighty little for fire fighting pur-
poses. The fire caught late at night
In the millinery store. If Demlng
had had a fifty gallon chemical fire
extinguisher it could have put the
fire out. AS it was 1t had to depend
on the water works, as the water
mains are so old and weak that the
company dares not keep a head Of
water in the waterstand, so when the
water was turned on there was not
head enough on it to reach the heart
Of the fire. Before 1t burned itself
out 1t had burned the millinery shop,
Kinear's drug store, the Western
Union office, Clark's clothing store,
Clark's grocery store and the Deming
national bank. 1t is estimated by a
careful composer that the loss was be-
tween 500, 900 and Sl35, 900, partially
insured. 1t is one good bet that the
town council will invest In some
chemical engines, and perhaps a fire
engine, which could pump the water
out Of the mains and give the neces-
sary head to reach the fire. Several
such outfits we're paid for Saturday
night.

When the fire In the Roberts &
Leahy store was discovered there was
the usual alarm, the firing of guns
and the blowing Of whistles. Some of
our citizens who are new arrivals, not
familiar with the fire alarm, but who
had been scared up by the false alarm
regarding the expected invasion by
Villa, thought when they heard the
shooting that the whole Mexican army
had attacked the town, and were
greatly relieved when they found it
was only a fire. One preacher came
down town with a double barreled
shot gun over his shoulder and want
ed to know where the Mexicans were.

General Ynez Salazar was tried the
first of the week, in the United States
court at San a Fe, for the violation of
the neutrality law, and shipping am
munition across the border. General
Salazar was with the Mexicans con-
fined at Fort Bliss. and moved to
Fort Wingate. He was taken to
Santa Fe Sunday, and put in the
county jail. Unknown to the United
States officers Elfglo Baca, Salazar's
lawyer, arranged a reception at the
Jail, where many Mexicans, including
all the Mexicans on the jury panel,
met the distinguished general. The
affair of the reception became known
in court the next day, and there was
considerable trouble in securing ajury
to try the case.

Esby Wright, who recently bought
a Ford got the lesson most auto dri
vers get. Friday night he started
from town with his mother and
family in the car, and when he got
about eight miles out the machine
stopped. He cranked 1t, but the en-
CINE would not start. He did every
thing he had learned to do, but the
engine would not go. Finally he
happened to think of his gasoline
supply, examined the tank and found
it was dry. He made the eight miles
back to town In fairly good time,
woke up his friend DR.. DeMoss, and
got him to drive out with a can of
gasoline. 1t is one good bet that he
will not run out of gas again.

w. E. Barnes, trouble fixer for the

Friday, and discovered that If the
Southern Pacific had a branch up to

good deal of ore to haul to the smell
ters. He Immediately t%elegraphed to
Mr.. Clapp and Mr. Matthews to come
down and build the road. They came
down Saturday, looked the PROPOSE
ton over, went through the mine,
and decided to build the road if those
higher up would furnish the cash.
The higher ups have not yet signlied
that the cash would be forthcoming,
1t may be necessary to send the

ALLEGED CONSPIRACY
TO HURT BUSINESS
Unusual Suit Instituted by 0ssola &
Dunghi Against Boutwell,, Milne
& varnum and officers and
Employees for $4,000.

/ A suit has been instituted in Wash
| ington county court by Joseph d. Os-
sola and Edward Dunghi of Barre
against James NJ. Boutwell,, George B.
Milne, Guy Varnum and William Jack,
members or employees of the granite
quarrying firm of Boutwell,. Milne &
| Y6snum, also against the firm itself and
other unknown parties, the charge be-
| ing conspiracy and the damages being
set at $4,000. The plaintiffs are mem
bers OF the firm known as the Barre
Monumental Yard, which does business
in the former Wells, Lamson & Co. plant
in North Barre.
The papers in the suit, which We're
filed yesterday afternoon with Clerk
l.. G. Moody of the county court, set
up that defendants have unlawfully con-
spired to deprive the plaintiffs of cus-
toners and business and in conspiring
| to induce customers to have their cut
ting, saving, polishing, etc, done at
some other plant. The papers assert
that ossola h Dunghi enjoyed large
profits for the period of six months up
to Dec. Is, 1918, and that they should
be entitled to the same profits from
their business.
The allegation sets up that on Nov
10, 1913, the defendants with other un-
known parties did unlawfully agree, con-
federate and conspire without any JUS
tifable cause to hinder and prevent the
plaintiffs from carrying on their busi-
ness and did unlawfully and wilfully
induce customers of the plaintiffs not
to deal with the plaintiffs. As the re-
suit of this alleged conspiracy, the plain
tiffs declare that their business has suf
fered and their business deprecated to
the extent of $4,000.
Moreover, it is alleged that on Nov. 5,
1913, the defendants did see or cause
to be seen various granite manufactur-
ers and did induce said persons to cease
doing business with the plaintiffs. 1t
is alleged that the defendants influenced
Hoyt & Lebourveau of Barre and the
G. X. Bianchi company of Montpelier
to cancel contracts for work to be done
by the plaintiffs, entailing loss of $500.
As final declaration, the plaintiffs
asserted that the officers of Boutwell,,
Milne & Varnum company, through their
ownership of 80 per cent. of the dark
Barre granite quarries and quarry land
virtually control the supply of dark
Barre granite in the vicinity of Barre
and that the said defendants have since
February, 1912, refu"~ to sell the plain
tifTs dark Barre granite at the usual
terms of payment in 30 days and that
they have persisted in their refusal even
when the plaintiffs offered to pay for
the stone in advance.
The plaintiffs, 0ssola & Dunghi, are
represented by Richard A. Hoar ana
William Wishart of Barre and William
A. Lord of Montpelier, while j. Ward
Carver of Barre represents the defend
ants. The suit will perhaps come before
the March term of county court. 1t is
a most unusual suit and has caused some
surprise. Members of the defendants,
when asked concerning the case, denied
the allegations set forth in the suit.

to Her Husband.

Derby, Jan. 1.-Two lives were lost in
a fire which yesterday destroyed house
owned by DR.. George Adams of West
Derby and occupied by George Z. Grow
and located near the mills of the Clyde
River Pulp company.
Mrs. Grow went to the mill to carry
Mr.. Grows dinner and left the two chill
dren, aged four and two, alone in the
house, locking the doors for safety.
While at the mill, fire was discovered
in the home, and before any help arrived
the house was in mass of flames, so
that it was impossible to rescue the two
children. The scene was agonizing, as
the cries of the children could be heard
by friends. who were powerless to help.
A search was begun as soon as the fire
had died down, but no trace of the
bodies could be found.

ONE RUNAWAY
STARTED OTHERS
There Were Lively Times on Berlin
Street When Three Horses Went
On a Rampage.

Three thrilling runaways were set in
motion on Berlin street yesterday after
noon, when a horse belonging to the
Peoples market became frightened at n
piece of paper which rode past on
breeze that swept up the Williamstown
track. L. A. Aldrighetti, proprietor of
| the market and horse, was in the deliy-
| cry sleigh when his horse conceived "A
| sudden antipathy for derelict scraps OF
paper The animal gave a sudden lurch
and Mr.. Aldrighetti was thrown heavily
against a pole which is stationed near
the p ID. NIolla store. While the horse
was hitting a terrific pace down the
street. women ran out of doors and
carried the meat man into the nearby
store.
Dr. p. f. Duffy, who was hurriedly
called, came off North Main street into
Berlin Just in time to see the meao
mans horse collide with one team driv-
en- by G. Corti, a truckman, and an
other owned and driven by A. Mistrang-
elo, North Barre teamster. Both
horses seemed to share the scare that
started in the Aldrighetti horse and both
started at break-neck clip toward
the bridge. Two heavy sleds bumped
and pounded against the poles and fences
along the way. Not until the pair, trav-
cling nearly abreast. arrived at the
bridge did the inclination to stop pre-
vail. 0beying the calls of several pc
destrians. the horses halted and were
led back to the point of departure. The
sleds to which they were attached were
badly damaged and Mr.. Corti said to-
day that nothing short of fancy sum
would restore his outfit.
Meanwhile DR.. Duffy was examining
Mr.. Aldrighetti for broken bones. 1t
developed that he had undergone Sc
we're shaking-up, and with several minor
bruises about the body, he was taken
to his home on North Main street. The
physician stated last night that the
meat dealer had narrowly escaped frac-
lures in two instances. The mans
horse was later taken into custody while
romping around the snow in the mead
Ows off Second street
