EVIDENCE TAKEN
IN SPENCER SUIT
Brattleboro Man Seeks Damages from
Power Co. for Action of River on
Cottage Premises.

Evidence was taken yesterday in
Keene, \. H., in the suit of Charles 7.
Spencer OF Brattleboro against the Con
necticut River Power Co., which is a
suit to recover damages for the action
of the river upon land owned by the
plaintiff, upon which his cottage is 10
Gated on the Chesterfield side of the
river Court was not in session today
The arguments and Judge s charge viii
be made Monday.
Mr.. Spencer evidence tended to
show an investment of s. 500. including
the purchase price of the land, the cost
of the cottage. which he built after the
Vernon dam was built, and improve
ments to the premises. He claims that
by reason of the dam the water has
washed away a part of his lot and will
continue to wash it away.
The Power company claims that the
land before the dam was built was farm
land worth S15 an acre, whereas it is
now cottage land worth several times
as much, also that a permanent bounda
| ry line has been reached and that the
water will not wash away any more of
the lot.
Counsel for Mr.. Spencer are Joseph
| Madden and Charles H. Hersey of
| Keene. and for the defendant Harold
f. Whitney of Brattleboro and Philip II
Faulkner of keene.

WASHINGTON. Nov. g. The aero

United States ha, progressed to a stage
that il is possible to announce officially
that there are no demands OF this govern

1t was said that th. country as the
result of the preparations now being

NOT A SQUARE DEAL
FOR THE HUNTERS
Posting of Big Tract by Farmers Who
Themselves Hunt Shows Big Hole
in State Game Laws.
T of The Rcformer

Editor of The Rcformer:
see by late issue Of your paper
that there is another large tract Of
land to be posted against hunting, etc
This tract of land taken with the
large tract that was posted just be
fore the last open season on deer will
make over 5000 acres Of land posted
in this vicinity.
II does not seem to me that the own
ers of this land are giving the hunters
Of the state square deal | presume
that most Of the owners take out a
hunting license themselves and | know
some Of them that have had their land
Iposted and have hunted on land other
than their own in other towns, also on
my farm
At the same time ! suppose that if
| should hunt and shoot buck deer on
this posted land | would be arrested
fined and the deer taken away from me-
There are good many thousands OF
jpeople that take out hunting licenses
III this state If our wild land is to
he posted where shall we hunt. What
/ is to become of the game that we have
lpaid to be protected these past years
50 that we could legally take them 3
| few days each year?
1t seems to me that our game Law
has a very big hole in it, There is nc
doubt that there is some land posted
because the owner does not want tn,
game killed at all and does not g
hunting, but where the owner post
his land and still goes hunting gam,
the stat has protected for all tht
hunters, it does not seem right
If the owner posts his land agains
hunting he should not be allowed by
law to hunt. Other states have laws Il
this effect.
