Brattleboro. Oct 20.-After consid-

verdict for the plaintiff to recover $500
in the accident damage case of Fred
Cressy of Brattleboro, administrator

The plaintiff sued for $4,000 because
of the death of Mr.. Stetson, who was
killed when his automobile went of
a bridge in Marlboro and fell several
feet on some rocks in brook The
plaintiff claimed the town was negli-
gent in not providing suitable railing
while the defense denied this and
claimed the evidence showed that
there was contributory negligence.
The verdict apparently was a com

EVIDENT DEPRESSION
IN BOOZE RUNNING
Not So Much Hard Liquor Being Snug
gied into Vermont
From Canada

Burlington, Oct. 20.--There is no
quest on in The opinion of both the dry
enforcement officers and the customs
officials that there has been big fall
ing of in the amount Of Intoxicating
liquor which is being smuggled In
from Canada. There have been no ar
rests of booze runners in either de-
partment for more than week.
The Stacking up in the business is
attributed to several causes. In the
first place the new Canadian law
which places the sale Of distilled
liquors in the hands of the govern
ment is thought to have done much
to stop the smuggling Of large quanti-
ties of liquor No longer can it be
purchased by the case and 1t takes
long time to accumulate one of the
loads of former days when liquor Is
purchased by the individual bottle.
Another factor in the case is
thought to be the business depression.
No longer is there ready market for
the short Canadian quarts at So and
$40 bottle People are not getting
the money and cannot spend 1t. The
business depression has done much to
slow up the rum traffic.
