PAPER co. WINS
EJECTMENT SUIT
Land in Dispute Between Cole Paper
Co. Of Putney and e. E. Blood
Owned by Former. Jury Decides.

perty of the W A. Cole Paper Co. of
that town is established by the verdict
of the jury in Windham county court,

of Putney. The case had been on trial
since Monday afternoon, Attorney w.
r. Daley of Brattleboro and Attorney
W. A. Graham of Bellows Falls appear
ing for the plaintiff and Attorneys II
G.. Barber and F. e. Barber of Brat
tleboro for the defendant.
The opening arguments by Attorneys
Daley and H. g. Barber were made
Friday afternoon and the closing argu-
ments by Attorneys II. G. Barber and
Graham and the judges charge Satur-
day forenoon, the jury taking the case
about 11.30 o clock and reporting about
/ o'clock, in favor of the plaintiff
The company was not seeking damages
but to establish the boundary line.
Mueh time was taken up during the
week in examining old deeds and rec
ords, going back to the time when jain
Robertson, the common grantor of pro-
perty now owned by the two parties,
owned the land. The original tract in
cluded the old wooden mill and skating
rink properties, the Cole, Stowell and
F. L. Pierce sites. The deeds were traced
from John Robertson down to the pres
ent time.
The blacksmith shop, which once was
an engine house, was bought in 1884
by Charles Willard and father, and
passed through different hands until
1905, when it was bought by Mr.. Blood
who sold it in 1912 to John Bolliger
formerly a blacksmith in Brattleboro
and who now runs the shop Mr. Boil.
Tiger has not made full payment for the
shop, the boundary line being in dis
| pute.
Evidence on the part of the plaintiff
| showed that Mr. Willard built an addi
tion and Mr.. Willard paid a nominal
yearly rental. 1t also showed that Mr.
Blood paid a rental for at least one
year. Mr.. Blood claimed ownership OF
! the land and Mr.. Bolliger bought il
with that understanding
| Among the plaintiffs exhibits wa.
an old Windham county atlas and an
oil painting made in 1888 showing diff
ferent property locations.
At present the value of the land il
dispute is small, but it might be i'm
portant if the Cole Paper Co. at som,
time should wish to enlarge its mil
pond.

their foodstuffs and anything that this

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,,
Oct. 27.-Prefacing his
announcement with the
statement that he had
received no communica-
tion from government
sources as to President
Wilson's stand against
the threatened strike of
coal miners Nov. /,
John L. Lewis, acting
president of the United
mine workers of Amer
lea, today declared "the
intimation that force
may be resorted to will
not serve to allay the
crisis"
"The threat to my
self and associates will
neither prevent t h e
strike nor terminate it
if it occurs," Mr.. Lewis
said. There is even
yet a way in which this
strike may be avoided"
Mr.. Lewis said. "The
government could as
semble the coal oper-
ators and use its power
full influence to get for
the miners a considera-
tion of their demand"
An agreement could be
reached within three
days if the coal oper-
ators approached the
question in good faith
and with open minds,
Mr.. Lewis said.

FROM
SOUTH AMERICA
Charles j. Ewald Gives Stirring Mes
sage on Improved Relations Between
This Country and the I.atins-Series
of Lunches This Winter.

About IS members of the board of
trade attended this noon in Masonic
temple the first midday luncheon of
the board, and it was so successful that
President Arthur F. Roberts announced
that a series of luncheons would be ar
ranged for the coming winter. An ex-
cellent beef-pie dinner was served under
the direction of Mrs. Fremont Hamilton.
The speaker was Charles j. Ewald,
North American who has lived in South
America l6 years and who is secretary
OF the South American federation, with
headquarters at Montevideo, Uruguay
he is graduate of the University of
Michigan
President Roberts introduced the
speaker at 1890 O'Clock, and for little
over 20 minutes Mr. Ewald held the in
terested attention of his hearers. He
received hearty applause, and everybody
was much pleased with the success of the
first luncheon.
Mr.. Ewald told of missing his train in
Springfield, Mass, and of coming here
by automobile, arriving just in time to
speak, and after telling two brief stores
WHICH put the duuieNcc IN receptive
mood he launched into remarkably fine
statement of the relations of South
America to North America, the speakers
own personality giving added force to
his statements.
These relations he considered in three
aspects: First, the political aspect. .Sus-
picions which South America entertained
toward this country before the war be-
cause of its remarkable expansion,
which led them to wonder whether the
expansion would stop at the Panama
Canal, has changed since the war to a
feeling of genuine confidence, largely be-
cause of the ideals which actuated the
United States in the world war
The commercial aspect was discussed
secondly Trade between this country
and South America has grown by leaps
and bounds, during and since the war.
The northern business men are particu-
larly interested in the market in South
America for manufactured goods. and
Mr.. Ewald referred to the factors which
enter into the question of holding the
trade advantage gained. OF special i'm
portanee is the fact that South America
| is willing that this country should hold
the advantage, because of their conf
dence and friendship.
| Shipping in the past has been a great
drawback. Formerly many shipments
