IN DOG BITING CASE,
Verdict Can Be Expected This Morn
inq in Street VS.. Leemis.

In the superior court all day Thurs
day the case of John w Street VS..
Anton Leenis was on trial before
Judge Gardiner Greene and jury and
when court adjourned at 4.3O the final
arguments by the attorneys had been
made.
Judge Greene told the jury on the
case that they were to come back on
Friday morning when he would make
his charge to them and put the case
into their hands, and when they we've
ready to announce verdice he void
interrupt the short calendar pro-
ceedings in order to hear it.
Street is suing Leemis for $1,000 for
damages for the bit of a dog.
The plaintiff introduced two wit
neSses Thursday, Mary Eliza Geer and
Edna May Geer, resting his case at
1921. The defendant had his evidence
all in by 11.45 when both rested.

feet ahead of them and they saw him
make a pass at the dog with his foot,
but did not see him bitten. John Fran
els Sheridan corrooorated them in
general, and Timothy Gallivan testi-
fed that Street came to see him to
find out who was the Waterman at the
Richmond Radiator plant.
Attorneys G. V. James and A. NJ.
Brown made tie arguments for the de-
PENDANT and were opposed in argument
by Attorney G. w. Comstock who is
counsel for Mr.. Street.
Attorney Brown argued that the
whole thing was so trivial that if any
damages at all were to be given $25
ought to be a topnotch figure, while
Attorney Comstock argued that his
client had lost at least $305 by the
time he had been out of work on ac-
count of his injuries.

BRAKEMAN HIT BY
OVERHEAD BRIDGE
Frank Blake Knocked Down on Car
Near New Railroad Station, but
Not Seriously Injured.

Frank Blake of Springfield, Mass,
a Boston & Maine brakeman on train
No 625, northbound, yesterday after
noon at 4.3O clock was the first man
to be hit by the new foot bridge over
the tracks at the Brattleboro station.
Blake was head brakeman and was
standing on one of the cars of the long
train near the engine and was looking
backward to catch the signal of the
rear brakeman that the train had
cleared the siding. He was struck in
the back by the bridge and knocked
fiat on the car. He did not lose con
sciOusness and as he Glanced to be
standing near the middle of the car
he was not thrown between the cars
He was able to walk to the street for
medical treatment, which consisted of
dressing a cut in the back of his head
after which he went home.
Railroad men have been free in their
prediction that the bridge would not
be in position long before some of their
number would be injured as the clear
ance above the rails is only Is feet, al
lowed by special act of the Iegisla-
ture. They see in the accident to
Blake only the first of a series.
While bulletins notifying trainmen
that the bridge is in place have been
posted, no telltales are in position and
there is no warning for traihmen.
The railroad men claim that it
would be possible without much eX-
pense 10 raise the bridge before the
work progresses any farther and the
only inconvenience would be for pas
sengers to go up two or three steps at
either end of the bridge. They claim
that with the abandonment of the plan
for a highway overpass here there is no
need for the overhead bridge for pedes-
triaus to BE so low.

BIG ADDITION TO
FORESTRY RESERVE
Government Acquires $500 Acres Near
Crawford Notch - Controls Presi-
Dental Range.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dee. 9.-The
national forest reservation commits
sion has decided upon the pur-
chase of a very important tract of land
in the White Mountains under the
Weeks forest act. Although the tract
contains only $500 acres and is smaller
than some that have been previously
acquired in the White Mountains and
elsewhere, it is considered to be highly
important on. account of its location
and the valuable timber which it con
tains.
1t is situated upon the slopes of the
Presidential range and includes the
SUBMITS of Mt. Webster, Mt. Jackson
and Mt. Clinton. It's acquisition will
give the government practically com
plete control of all of the peaks of the
Presidential range, Mt Washington,
Mt. Jefferson and other northern peaks
having already passed into the hands
OF the United States.
The tract is one which Is much fre-
quented by tourists to the White
Mountains and is trayersed by a num-
Der of paths which haze long been
much used. 1t is also in plain view of
the state highway through the famous
Crawford notch. One of the finest
bodies of virgin spruce timber remain
ing in the White Mountains is situated
upon the tract, although upon a portion
of the land the timber was cut some 70
years a@t.
Several times during the past two
years the tract has been brought TO the
attention Of the commission, but it was
not until recently that the owners
agreed to accept price which the com
mission considered reasonable. This
last purchase brings the government :,
holdings in the White Mountains Il
more than 100000 acres.

DISAVOWAL ASKED
-fN ANCONA CASE
United States Wants Assurance from
Austria That Such an Act Will Not
Repeated.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 9.-The United
States has sent to Austria Hungary a
note asking for disavowal of
the submarine attack on the italian
liner Ancona, assurances that such an
act will not be repeated, some degree
of punishment for the commander of
the submarine and reparation for the
American lives lost.
The communication started by cable
Tuesday from the state department to
Ambassador Frederick c. PenfeId at
Vienna, who was instructed to hand it
to the Austro- Hungarian minister OF
foreign affairs, Baron Burian. Word
Of the delivery of the note had not
been received by the department last
night.
Friendly but firm terms, it is said,
characterize the document, which is un-
derstood to make a particular point of
prompt assurances for the future safe
ty OF American lives. Austria Hungary
has never informed the United States
whether the commanders of its sub
marines had been given instructions
similar to those which the German
government gave to its commanders af-
/ ter the Lusitania tragedy 1t is
understood the note referred particular.
/ ly to the charge that shells from the
submarine killed or wounded some pas
sengers on the Ancona after she ha(
halted, and asked for an explanation
on that point.

was about to try to burst open the door
