Priceless Records Of
Fairfield Destroyed
By Hungry Rodents

Priceless records belonging to the
Town of Fairfield stored in the town
hall vault and dating back to the
year 1920 are threatened with de-
struction by a nest of mice secreted
in the vault. Efforts to ferret them
out have failed and the family IS in
creasing in leaps and bounds. If
some method of determination is not
found the destructive rodents will
gnaw the old records and destroy
them Searchers seeking land title
information and historians in quest of
historical facts dealing with the
Revolutionary period state that some
of the deeds and town records have
already been gnawed by the mice and
are now almost yalueless because
they have eaten out the most import
mt sections.
The hungry mice ply their trade at
night when the vault is locked and all
the attendants have left the town hall.
There is no possible way of storing
the old books in other parts of the
building because there is no room.
Emery Process Used.
Many of the old recC:G3 are fall

There was little indication that the

brought to trial today. Following
such selection officials believed that
most of the other cases would. be
continued until the next term of

the results of the initial hearings,
pressed the belief that hundreds of
the indictments will eventually be
quashed and that less than ten viii
ever go to trial The state, while
making public little excepting 81
fence, did make the contention that
all indictments returned were based
upon evidence that can be produced
IN court. They insisted all important
charges will be put before the court.
No Problem Over Jury
me securing of jury is not eN-
pected to be a serious problem, since
Jefferson county is on the northeast
ern border, while the war occurred
in kanawha, Boone and Logan coun-
ties, in the southwestern portion of
West Virginia.
In the jury janet will be descend

Hoosier.
Some of the older deeds ended
with these words Sin the Fourth Year
of the Reign of Our Sovereign Lord
George the Third of Great Britain &
King" All are written in pen, most
of the writing being unreliable. All
the records up to the Revolutionary
period were ended with the date and
year of the king. After TIT, how
ever, this section was stricken from
the official stationary and the phrase
''in the year of our Lord" appeared.
Signed by Burr's Father.
Aaron Burr. father of the famous
Aaron Burr of history, signed some
of the records threatened by the
mice. The records are invaluable to
historians and many family histories
are based on the results of explora-
lions among the old documents. A
great many of the earlier governors
of the state have their signatures af-
fixed to some of the official deeds.
Before the building of the town
hall the records were kept in an old
town house. In 1920 the town hall
was built and all the records moved.
In 1879 the British attacked the
town and burned it to the ground
inclT ding the town hall. During the
burning, citizens rushed into the
building and rescued most of the
records from the flames.
