 The dispossessiCn cult brought by
 George T Howard and wife against
 saraL A. Buchanan came to trial at
 thc town house last Thursday morn
 Ing before Justice Lyon and jury
 Of six. By ransackinE his memory
 m aged resilient recalled just one other case in local history in which
 town jury figured, this having hap Lpeued 40 or 30 years ago. The
 Howard Buchanan suit broadened un-
 eXpectcdly when Attorney Taylor. the Idcfcndaurs counsel alleged in his answer The existence Of two other lease asreomcnts besides the one which was directly the subject of the Hction. The arrival of C o'clock on Ethe first dny found the hearing far from finish and an adjournment was taken to Monday. The pro- fceedings dragged all through this and the succeeding day, the jury retiring 10 deliberate on verdict at about 30 Tuesday afternoon after being charged by the trial justice. They came out once for further instruc- tions and after a session of nearly two hours reported hopeless inabil- ity 10 agree and were discharged. Un- less a settlement should be affected in the meantime the counsel will meet with the justice on Thursday of next week Go arrange ;he prcIiminaries for another hearing.
 Miss Anne Rider. a teacher in the Center school. had a narrow escape l
 
 juriss last Sunday afternoon in con- sequence of being thrown from a Ihorse belonging 10 Probate Judge Sanford. She boards with the family of the judge and when the latter re- turned from q ueiEhborhood horse back ride trip Miss Rider said she would like a little horseback exer- else herself. No sooner had she mounted tLdr the animal started on a wild Eallop down the hill. Miss Riders pull on the curb bit having no restraining effect. A few rods ! Sfrotn the starting place she lost her seat and went headlonE 10. the ground. 1 An exa imitation by pr. Smith showed l that she had suffered no broken bones ! | and although internal injuries were at l thrst indicated. it later appeared that |her hurts were confined to severe rontusions and general shock to a Temporarily prostrating degree. | Mrs. Florence Simpson has pur- biased the attractive residential prop | srty in JoHetown which she has oc- cupied for the last year or so. It Is known as the Walter Edmonds place and some years since passed to the ownership of the late Edward s. Dea- | | con of Bridgeport. Until the recent 1 transfer it belonged 10 his estate sub 1e-t to n life interest on the part Of l |Meres Dc1con. a con. and the latter's | sister. The price paid by Mrs. Siinp- ! son is understood 10 be not far from s40OO. The promise of bounuful apple crop which was given by an abund- | ant output of blossoms is threatened | in this locality by adverse conditions indicated by the yellowing and drop- ping of the leaves and shrivsliinr of the embroys fruit. These conditions ! are general and some of the trees af- |fccted have already lost a large part of the foliage. There has been no general spraying of fruit trees here. ahouts this seasnr and whether 1t swould have proved a preventive of he present bliEht remains matter Of conjecture. The trouble Is inscribed .o the sudden change of weather con ditions rather than to any of the |Inany kinds of insect pests by which Efruit trees are attacked.
