COLUMBUS. N. NJ, Aug 4-Acting Mayor R. W. Elliott, and J. R. Blair, president of the Columbus chamber of commerce, today authorized a denial of published reports that depredations were being committed in Columbus by men from the Industrial Workers of the World camp where HOO men de- ported from Bisbee, July F. are stay ing. Mayor Elliott and MT. Blair stated that as far as they knew, there was no truth in reports that men from the camp had raided a bread wagon or soft drink stands. They asserted that although the city authorities and the citizens of Columbus generally were not in sympathy with the l. w. w. movement they had no complaint to make concerning the conduct of the men in the camp and that no disturb ance of any kind had been traced to members of the l. w. w. since they came to Columbus. They also denied that state aid to control the men had been requested.
 Because nights have been cold of late, the men in the camp sent requests to the military authorities here for old tentage and blankets to be used for covering. The men say they are well pleased with the rations given by the government and with the treatment ac- corded them by army officer and sol diers

TOWNSHEND.
Satisfactory Recognition.

An amusing occurrence in the local
town meeting some 80 years ago was
called to mind by one Of the older res
idents of this place who preserved this
clipping taken from Brattleboro ma
per OF that date:
1.-THE voters III town met on Tues
day with no special organization or
plans for representative, and hence
there were 10 different persons voted
for on the first ballot. At 8 O'Clock.
when the boxes were turned and the
result Of the vote was read bv the con
stable, a comical citizen Of the town
who works on marble stood Immediate
" in front Of the stand with ewes. ears
and mouth wide open, listening as
though his life depended upon the re-
suit At the conclusion of the reading
Of the names Of the persons voted for
and the number of votes thew respec-
lively received, he, with stentorian
voice and a word that the clergy pres
ent deemed more emphatic then nee
essary, exclaimed: Haven t l got anv
votes.' At the next ballot our friend
got three votes and announced himself
to the town as perfectly satisfied with
the result.
Residents will quickly identify the
central figure Of this story as "Uncle y
Arya Benson, who though in his 84th
year is still as fond Of a Joke as in
his younger days.

SHEP ARDSONS PAY
ROWLEYS SLABS
Londonderry Suit Twice in County
Court and Twice in Supreme Court
Grew Out of Farm Sale.

one OF the cases that has helped to
clutter the dockets Of the courts foY
years has been settled by the payment
of $l,42o by George w and Eva c.
Shepardson of Londonderry 10 Edison T.
Rowley OF that town. The case grew
out OF the sale of q farm by Mrs. Shep-
ardson to the Rowleys through her hus-
band as agent. Mr.. and Mrs. Rowlev
claimed that there was fraud in that
there were something over 1000 less
maple trees on the property than was
represented
The case was fought twice in Wind
ham county court and twice went to
the supreme court. In the first county
court trial verdict of about 81 900 was
given for the Rowleys and the supreme
court reversed the finding and remand
ed the ease. The second verdict was
for $l,2l3 for the Rowleys and this was
affirmed by the supreme court.
Shepardson had moved out OF the
state and later started bankruptcy pro
ceedings which were fought to the ex-
tent that he failed TO obtain his dis
charge in bankruptcy. The chancerv
court next saw the case and a verdict
was obtained there by the RowlevS
against Mrs. Shepardson for $50 as her
share Of the benefits Of the deal. As
the costs Of the various trials amounted
TO about $500 it left that amount to be
obtained from Mr.. Shepardson. The set
Element made this week was for within
about $500 of the total amount of the

of the business Of the courts. Tho seven
judges did not and could not do all the
work OF the county courts.
The experience of other states ought
TO be of some value. Nearly every state
in the Union had preceded ours in the
adoption Of system Of dual courts as
the best system to be had, and no state
has abandoned it.
Our six superior Judges are competent,
industrious, faithful workers. II has
been widely reported that the expense
Of running the county courts has largely
increased in the last ten years. the
statements published by Judge TAYLOR
and Hon. W. \. Dutton, in November
last, place this subject III its true light.
These statements should be read by ev-
cry voter, for they show that expenses
that properly belong TO county courts
have not appreciably increased, though
longer terms and more eases tried might
warrant some increase in expense.
l have expressed my views with re-
luctance, moved solely by an earnest
wish that the best interests Of orr
courts may be conserved.
Very truly yours,
