INTERESTING CASES ARGUED.
In Supreme Court, Coming from Orleans
County.

Three Orleans county cases were tax
en- up in supreme court yesterday, the
first being in re s. A. Cleveland, s. A
Cleveland appellant, an appeal from pro
bate court. Cleveland was adjudged in
sane and ordered committed to the state
hospital at Waterbury by the probate
court, at the instigation of the town
OF Coventry. He appealed, but filed no
bond for costs, which his counsel insists
was not necessary, but the town. for T
lack of such bond, moved to dismis' u
appeal. The county court sustai' Ne
motion, to which the appellant ,>s ex-
ceptions, and the matter is ~ before
supreme court for settler ~ The APP
pellant claims that . - -ged insane
person has an absolutt~ ght to an APP
peal from probate court and to trial
by jury, if he so desires, also without
the furnishing of bond. This case con-
sumed all yesterday for moon.
In the afternoon, the case of f. IL.
Goodwin VS.. L. E. Holmes was taken
up. This was for alleged trespass and
testified that while he was driving in q
two wheeled sulky on June 22, 1910,
from Craftsbury toward North Wolcott,
the defendant came around a corner in
his automobile, ran into the Goodwin
outfit and damaged the sulky and har-
ness and injured the horse. The de-
fendant testified he did not run into
the team and whatever damages were
done were caused by the plaintiffs own
horse.
Arguments were also made in the case
of H. d. Stannard vs.. NJ. L. and II. w.
Iillotson. This is a case of assumpsit
on an officers receipt, taken for attached
real estate and personal property, the
plea being the general issue with notice.
Irwin Stephenson owned real estate in
Lowell and there he conducted gen
eral store. On Aug. 2S, 1909, the plain
tiff, who was constable of the town OF
Barton, served writ of attachment on
the store, goods, real estate and personal
in favor of Lowell, making the
attachment by lodging copy of said
writ, etc, with the town clerk. The de-
fendant claimed that it appears from
the testimony of the plaintiff that he
never took any of the property into
his possession before he took the re-
ceipt on which this suit was based ex
cept such possession as he was granted
by attachment. Attorney Redmond read
former testimony in the case, which
tended to show that the plaintiff did
have actual physical possession of the
before the receipt was delivered
into his hands.
The case was.tried by Orleans county
court at the March term AT the close
of the evidence each party moved for
directed verdict. The defendants mo-
tion was overrnled to which they ex-
eepted and the plaintiffs motion granted
with a verdict for $5,773.79 and costs,
to which the defendants excepted. The
jury returned verdict for the plaintiff
as directed, also six special yerdicts re-
cited in the record. Judgment on the
directed verdict to which the defendants
excepted.

Russell of Washington street is son of
the deceased. The latter went to st.
Johnsbury Tuesday afternoon, being
called by the serious illness OF his ia

With the rise in temperature, service
on the Central Vermont road began to
improve to-day. As long as the weather
continued cold, however, the trains ran

however, were long overdue yesterday
afternoon and all during the night. Bos-
ton mail was minus quantity, but
the delay in the city's service from the
Hub was largely due to the destruction
of a signal tower in the North station
at Boston Tuesday night. All traffic
proceeding from that point was tied up
for many hours. Local railroad officials
stated this forenoon that the service
would be normal by nightfall,

MAY REPORT TO-DAY.
Grand Jury Which Has Been Investigat-
ing Copper Region Lawlessness.

Houghton, Mich, Jan. l5.-Findings of
the special grand jury which has been
inquiring into lawlessness in the copper
strike region, will be returned in court
to-day, but no intimation was forthcom-
ing whether any true bills would be in
cmded in the report at this time. OBJ
lservations of the last few days, however,
make it practically certain that some in
dictments will be given out. Most of
these, it is expected viii be kept secret
until the persons named therein have
been apprehended.
There is also a possibility that The
grand jury will include in its present
ment some reference to the deportation
of Charles I'll. Meyer, president, and
Charles Tanner, auditor of the Western
Federation of Miners. Hints were thrown
out that indictments had been voted
against two men alleged to have been
concerned in that episode and it was re-
ported that they were ready to stand
trial and, in fact, shoulder entire re-
sponsibility for the affair.
The other returns are expected to EN-
brace charges of varying degrees against
certain members of the Western Fedora
ton of miners. Practically every man
who has been in charge of union actiyi-
ties is prepared to face this possibl-
ity, having said as much from the start
of the jury's activities several weeks
ago.
That the grand jury work is only
partly completed was evidenced by the
fact that additional witnesses have been
summoned to testify to-day.
There was renewed rioting in the viii
lage of Ahmeek, Keweenaw county, last
night. Twenty men and one woman
were arrested and charged with violating
the circuit courts injunction against
pieketing. The prisoners were released
on their own recognizances.

SAVED ALL LIVE STOCK.
When Barn on Farm Between Upper
Graniteville and Washington Burned.

Fire OF unknown origin destroyed the
main barn on the George Seaver farm be-
tween upper Graniteville and Washing
ton late yesterday afternoon. The place
is owned by Henry Barber, who occupies
it jointly with his son, Patrick MORN.
The latter is employed as quarryman
on the Wells & Lamson quarry and he
was at work when the flames broke out.
Mr. Barber is confined by illness and
there was little help to be had when
Mrs. Norm discovered the fire. She had
the presence OF mind to rush to the barn
and release all of the stock and horses
quartered within.
Help was summoned afterwards, but
the blaze had gained too great a head
way to be stopped. Fortunately the
barn was located some distance from the
house and group of outbuildings. The
loss cannot be accurately reckoned, al
though the owners had stored the sea-
sons crops, including a quantity of hay
in the barn. Farming implements were
also lost

BETTY GETS A CHANCE.
Red Cross Seals Helped Her to Get
Well.

Red Cross Seals Helped Her to Get
We'll.
She was real pretty and so full Of
fun that the dimples were always
showing in her round, red cheeks. Her
eyes were big and brown. and her nut
colored hair curled naturally In little
ringlets over her forehead and ears.
She was just eighteen when we first
met her and so neat and attractive
that one would think she belonged to
the well to do class Of working people,
but when we followed her to her home
one day we confronted startling facts.
The red In her cheeks was the flush
Of unnatural inward fever, the high
spirits were a pitiful antidote to pitt
less conditions, and the big brown eyes
saw. only squalor when they were not
fixed upon a typewriting machine or
closed persistently to any view but an
imaginary bright one.
The room we entered was general
living space, used also as an eating,
cooking and sleeping apartment. There
was but one bed, and Betty had to
sleep in it with her mother, who was
too weak to sit up. An open cuspidor
sat where it would be conveniently
near the bed, which placed it by the
stove, where their food was cooked.
The mother, who was suffering in ar
advanced stage Of tuberculosis, did not
Nike cold air, and her Querulous de-
mands caused Betty to keep the door
and windows closed.
"Well," said cheerful Betty, with a
laugh, that isn't SO bad as not having
any windows or doors to close, II it?
Things might be worse"
Infinitely worse" said the Wise
One. "You might even take notion
to stuff the windows and doors with
rags to cut out what oxygen comes In
