tineau on Wednesday last of pneumon-
ia. She was taken to the hospital
there for treatment a few days ago,

AS we have no attorney in town
several of our citizens had quite q
time in trying to figure out who own
ed a certain piece of property here.
The facts are, a few years ago Henry
Burns built a certain building with
borrowed tools on land owned by An
gus Gillespie out Of lumber owned by
said Gillespie. Later Burns gave one
J. A. Profit bill of sale Of said build
ing. Later said Proffitt offered said
building for sale to Gillespie, who re-
fused to buy his own lumber and re-
fused to have said building removed
from premises. Result: Profitt goes
after Burns for $25.O0; Burns refus-
es to pay and orders him out; Proffitt
then looks for law. Burns gets cold
feet and ome to Gillespie to settle
for $500; Gillespie goes to Profit,
who offers to take $500. The said
Gillespie is now owner Of the building,
contents and $1,000. The building was
a one-story structure, 5x5 feet and 9
feet from Gill to. plate.

COLLISION AT CASTLEToN.
One Killed and Five Injured in Trolley
Wreck Yesterday.

CASTLETON, Sept. 10.-One of the
worst accidents on the lines of the Rut
land Railway, Light and Power Co.,
in the last 10 years occurred yesterday
at the gravel pit switch, when one man
was killed, another perhaps fatally in.
jured and four others hurt, two of them
badly, by head-on collision of express
and work cars.
The dead man was Angelo Gargan of
West Rutland, track foreman. The in.
iured are John A. Denerro of Rutland
trackman, skull fractured; Claude Tag
CART, Rutland, work car motorman
back injured,- scalp wound; Linus w
Sargent, Rutland, work car conductor
dislocated shoulder, and Patrick J
| Grady, Castleton, track foreman, lee
injured.
A misunderstanding of orders is sup
posed to have been the cause of the ac
cident The work car should hav,
waited at Castleton Corners for the ex
press car to pass, but it continued
toward Castleton. The ears came to
gether on a sharp curve. The impac
was SO great that the work car wa
driven back about 40 feet.
