SUES FOR $4,000
North Adams Man Seeks Damages
of Readsboro Company

of Readsboro Company
Rutland, Sept. 3-Deputy United
States Marshal Edward S. Whitaker
of Royce street was in Readsboro
yesterday where he attached the prop
erty of the National Metal Edge Box
company of that place for $4,000 in
a suit instigated against the concern
by Victor A. Agostina of North Adj
ans, Mass, administrator OF the es-
tate of Livio Franceschetti, five
year-old boy who was drowned in
canal used in connection with the
company's power. Holden & Healey
of Bennington appear for Asostini.
The papers allege that on March %
of this year young Franceschetti,
whose father was employed about the
box company's plant, was walking
along a path beside the canal, which
was several feet deep, when he slip
ped in and was drowned before any
assistance came.
The plaintiff alleges that the canal
was dangerous in its location with re-
ference to the path which was used
as a highway for the workmen and
that no proper warning of the posi-
BILE danger had ever been posted, The
ditch was an artificial one and it is
claimed that the path along the brink
had been used as such for many
years.
The case is returnable at the Octo-
Der term of United States court to be
held in this city.
