FENCE DISPUTE
IS STILL ALIVE
Alteration That Caused Death Of A. s.
Waterman Brings Son Into Jus
tice Kents Court.
WAS ARRESTED FOR TRESPASS
Fined $500 and Costs, But Appeals
Case to District Court.

and lying in his grave, and with
Andrew Aldrich passing the declin-
ing years of a long life in the state
penitentiary, the Waterman AL
drich fence dispute, the cause of
all this lamentable affair, is still
alive and apparently will make
trouble for others before it is
settled.
Last Saturday +. R. Waterman,
son of the murdered man and ad-
ministrator of the estate, was
brought before Justice Kent to
answer charge of trespass filed
by Mrs. M. c.. Aldrich, wife of
Andrew Aldrich. The defendant
waived the right of an attorney
and asked for an immediate trial,
handling his own case before the
court. The complaint was to the
effect that the defendant had torn
down line fence and was moving
it onto land belonging to Mrs.
Aldrich. (Which was the same
dispute that caused the shooting
and killing of A. S. Waterman
The defendant sought to prove
that his father had had the line
surveyed by the county surveyor,
and that it belonged where he
sought to put it. In substantial
ing his claims he placed on the
stand ]. R. Wiley, A. E. Aldridge
and testified himself. Much of
the defendants testimony in
regard to the surveys, etc. was
stricken out because of not being
substantiated by the proper papers
by the surveyor.
On the other hand the complain
ing witness claimed that Andrew
Aldrich had bought the land con-
tanned within the original fence.
had set out fruit trees. shrubbery,
garden, etc. in line with and
adjoining this fence, and that the
land belonged to the Aldriches.
The State called as witnesses
John Washburn, Archie Carr and
Walter Aldrich,
On account of a stipulation
of the law, Justice Kent did not
decide the case until Monday,
when he fined the defendant $500
and costs, or in all $26.55. The
defendant has appealed the case
and has filed the necessary bond.
There are some features of this
story which were not brought out
in the trial, but on which the
Aldriches base their right to have
the fence left where it originally
was. 1t appears that A. S. Water
man formerly owned the Aldrich
tract and sold it to George Cyrus,
who in turn sold it to Aldrich.
When Cyrus bought the land, the
disputed fence stood so as to give
him fraction of an acre more land
than the deed called for. How
ever, he states that he paid Water
man SIG for the strip of land
included within the fence but not
covered by the deed, and claims to
have receipt for it. When he
sold the tract to Aldrich he sold
the entire tract as bounded by The
fences, including this fraction of
an acre. Under this version of the
dispute, Aldrich claims that the
fence should stand as originally
built.
On the other hand Waterman
claims that three different surveys

THE PROGRESS OF The
CANOEING CRAZE

When the dancing fever first ragged
it was supposed the attack would be
brief. Yet the summer hotels were
one long scene of terpsichorean rev.
elry. Formerly many places merely
had Saturday night hops. This year
they usually danced every evening,
many groups practised in the parlor
mornings, the steps they would dis
play to the astonished wall flowers
that evening.
All the teachers have to do, when
| trade falls off bit is to invent a
new set of dances. The good money
the crowd previously spent in learn
ing the tango and the twinkle and the
aviation is now gone, these figures
having already become antique.
Young men who could not earn 50
day at any productive occupation
will set up as teachers of dancing ard
make ten and twenty times that zig.
ure. They do well to salt down their
cash. The sun does not shine at this
temperature very long.
People used to quit dancing when
they got married, principally because
new and fresher sets of girls pushed
the older women off the floor, by
capturing all the dance invitations,
Now that \ lot of original new Ganc.
es have come in, husbands and wives
get used to each others steps and
can dance better together-if tho Old
Man does not stink out in the corr
dor to enjoy his cigar.

With the labor of a man available
for lif.ins heavy weights, there is
nothing IN farm work that is not
easily within the capacities Of wom-
en-. 1t is probably true that the ay.
erage ia mer depends very much for
his business success on his wifes

If women go mo farming more,
they will be turning from ca'lings
that are oyercrowded, into one in
which the whole world is crying for
the product. 1t always pays to work
in field where the demands exceeds
the supply. The agricultural schools
are reporting this fall that many wo-
men are taking their courses of study.
Perhaps the sight of the millions ~

women of the warning countries have

UNIFORMITY IN
MEMS DRESS
One Of the humorous phases of the
clothes question Is the uniformity Of
mems styles. This varies in inverse
proportion to age. Your little man
in the grammar school is most sub
ject to this rigidity. If all the other
boys are wearing caps, it is terri.
BILE trial to him to appear in u hat.
You may prove to him that your
selection is the latest New York
style. But il the boys in his home
set are not wearing it, 1t becomes OBJ
noxious and hated. His feeling is
judicious in a way. If the hat va
ries but .trihe from the accepted
form in his particular circle, 1t is
sure to find its way to the mud pud.
die and that speedily.
When you get up to the age of the
college boy, the same spirit is nearly
as powerful. All the boys will be
found wearing the same thing under
the same circumstances. If one is
wearing a derby hat on the opening
day, all of them are doing so. At
negligee hours all are roaming about
in most nondescript knockabouts.
Men still have certain rigid epochs
of dress. The straw hat is supposed
to be very largely called in on Sep
TENDER 10. Within a few days, they
mysteriously disappear as If by uni
versal agreement. On the stock ex,
changes, an offender against this code
is assisted to conform to the univer.
sal practice. II other circles, the
wearing of straw hat few days too
late, make one the subject of deris-
i've remarks.
AS men grow older, they have more
individuality in dress, and this indi-
viduality is growing. The soft
hat, for instance, has far wider
vogue than it had few years ago.
