The four acres in question are the Ashland Cotton company’s lot just east of the Swift property. For more than 20 years it has been fertilized and cultivated and has produced some of the finest cropms of corn, potatoes and grass that have been raised in this section. Mr. Carpenter, who now holds tha lease, finds conditions of the best po: sible sort for truck farming. The land is naturally damp and has been but little affected by the recent drought. There are to be seen now in fine shape corn, potatoes, beans, beets, tpr- Dips. cucumbers, tomatoes. celery, cab- bages, melons and caulifiowers.

SHEEP OWNERS’ RIGHTS Involved in Questions Raised in Elling- ton Appeal—To Be Tried at Superior Court’s Ooctober ~ Term — Judge Greene's Ruling Sheep owners in Connecticut will be erested in wnat tne supreme court will do at its October term in the ac- tion of the state against Perry G. Tripp, a sheep owner, of Ellington. Mr. Tripp was convicted in the su- perior court in Tolland county for kill- ing two high bred dogs which were in a pasture where his shesp were. He was fined $25 and costs under each of two counts and the action whic comes before the supreme court is his appeal from that penalty. The ap- peal raises the question of the extent to which a man may go in the protec- tion - of sheep and lambs, and every sheep raiser in the state will be in- terested to know. Fred C. TField and Archie Coolay of Somers have a kennel, and are the breeders of high class American fox- hounds. At 6 o'clock on the morning of Oct. 31, 1910, Mr. Field took four of the hounds from the kennel and, it is alleged, put collars on the necks of the dogs and the metal tags which the law requires. The dogs were led by Mr. Field two or threa miles from his place of residence and then they we:e started in a fox hunt. The dogs start- ed a fox and, after they had been out of sight and sound for some time, Mr. Field started for his home, arriving there about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The next Mr. Field saw of any of the hounds was at 5 o'clock that aftérnoon. when two of them returned to’ his home. On that same day, between 12 and 1 o'clock, Mr. Tripp's shesp were feeding on land owned by Henry Pin- ney, adjoining land owned by M. ‘When Mr. Pinney's son got he_saw the sheep on his father's land. d He ci the Tripp housa by telephone and asik- ed that the sheep be removed from the land, and immediately afterwards the four dogs that Mr. Field had released earlier in ths day approached the Pinney lot where the sheep were graz- ing. Ran in Same Direction. The dogs were running and baying with their noses to the ground, and upon leaping the fence to the pasture where the sheep were, the sheep star ed and ran across the lot diagonall in a western diréction, and crowds close to the south side of a tobacco shed that Mr. Pinney had in the lot. | The dogs ran in the same direction us i v . pitine nor OT NARCOTIC. b o el s B B, FacSimile Signature of NEW YORK.

At tho brook, the. judge finds, the dogs turned again, circling about, as if_endeavoring to pick up a lost trail, and, thus circling, approached the to- bacto shed and within a short dis- tance of the sheep, which were still standing by the shed, but -the. dogs did not alter their acting in the pre: of the sheep, and continued their g and kept their noses to t: ground. At this time and while the dogs and sheep were thus placed, Mr. Tripp, the judge finds, without at- tempting to ascertain the purpose of the dogs, and standing near by in the highway, shot at and wounded one of the dogs, and immediately thereafter shot at but missed the second ome. With a third shot he despatched the wounded dog, which had attempted 10 run. The remaining three dogs were running in the directionsof their home | in Somers. Mr. Tripp followed the dogs about a half mile across the fie! and, overtaking one of them, he shol and killed it. At the time of the shoo’- ing of the second dog, the sheep were still standing near the tobacco shed and nearly half a mile from where the second dog was shot, and no sheep wera present where the second dog was killed. This is the material testi- mony on which the jurv reported a verdict of guilty against Tripp. Tripp’s Contention. Tripp's contention at the trial was that hs saw the dogs not in the con- trol of anyope, pursuing and worry- ing his sheep on Mr. Pinney's land and he admitted the shooting, but said the killing of the dogs was not done in a reckless or wanton gnanner, that the conduct of the dogs near the tobacco_shed was such as to excite a reasonable apprehension in his mind that the dogs were pursuing, worrying and wounding the sheep and other- wise doing them serious injury and damage, and that the killing of t dogs was to protect the sheep. M Tripp said thet he had reasonal ground to believe and that he did be- lieve that the killing of the dog near the shed was necessary to protect the sheep. * % Some of the questions of law raised in behalf of Iripp on the trial before Judge Greene and which will come ba- fore the supreme court wers that it was not necessary for Tripp to show that any of the sheep or lambs had been bitten or Wounded, or were being worried by the dogs, but, if the dogs were pursuing the sheep or lambs, it was lawful for Tripp to kill the dogs. 1t was also coatended in behalf of Tripp that he was under no obligation to endeavor to drive the dogs off, if they wera pursuing, worrying = or wounding the sheep, but that h,‘ had a legal right to kill the dogs, without making any attempt to drive tham away from the sheep. Tripp did not allege that the dogs were doing any harm whan he killed them, but the main question before the supreme court will be whether the dogs. when killed, were pursuing, worrying ot wounding the sheep. Tripp charged that they ware. Would Be a Sizzler. “One child is enough for the twenti- eth century wife” savs the author of Woman and Labor.

OREGON DECLARES WAR ON GREEDY BLACK BASS Game Fish Eat Young Salmon as Fast as They Leave the Hatcheries. A deadly enemy of the salmon in Oregon streams has been discoversd in the black bass that were planted in Pacific coast waters a few years ago and are rapidly multiplying.
