For some time, Mr. Bain has been employed by Mr. Brown at his place, and on Tuesday he came there to do some scraping of the building prepar- atory to pathting it, where it had been scorched when the barn on the prem- ises burned. Mr. Brown assisted him in grinding some scrapers, and about 10 o'clock left to come to the city. He returned about 2.30 o'clock and saw Mr. Bain lying ‘on the roof. Investi- gating, he found that he was in a seri- ous condition, and called men employ- ed in his field to help get Mr. Bain to the ground. The roof where he was lying is of a gentle slope, but he had gotten his feet in th gutter, which probably kept him from falling. Mr. Brown saw that his condition was se- rious and he was taken down as gent- ly as possible, but expired a few min- utes afterwards without regaining con- iousness, though efforts to arouse him were rvade.

Price of Property Where Stony Brook Reservoir is Being Constructed the Bone of Contentio The continuad hearing in chambers before Judge Shumway of the condem- nation proceedings of the board ® water commissiopers against 3. Ray- mond Palmer of Montville was begun in the superior court room here on Tuesday morning and will be continued this morning. The witnesses for the water board have been heard, and those for Mr. Palmer are now being heard by Judge Shumway. Corpora- tion Counsel Fanning represents ‘he water board, and Attorneys Comstock and King appear for Mr. Palmer. The land owned'by Mr. Palmer forms the basin of the reservoir which is building on what is known as Cherry lane in Montville. Attorney Fanning told the court that the question of titie to the property may have to be de- cided by the courts. By the will of Elisha Palmer, who died 30 years ago, a life interest was left to his wife. There were but two witnesses to the will. Land had been bought from Lucy Palmer Giddings, a daughter, and claim to a right in the estate is made by W. H. Palmer of New Britain. If the will is void_ the title of Mr. anl Mrs. J. Raymond Palmer and the oth- ers will be affectzd. Attorney Com- stock said he could see no trouble ahead about the title. Mrs. Palmer died in 1897 and the property was di- | vided satisfactory to all according to the will. Judge Shumway decided that the titl= question could come up after the testimony as to the value, and witnesses were called regarding that. S. B. Palmer, engineer of the water board, showed a plan of the farm anl explained the location of the 118 1-2 acres which make up the farm. The Giddings property includes 49 1-2 acres. J. L. Case when called said he con- | sidered the farm worth $2,500, and the | value fixed on it by W. O. Rogers was | $2,250. J. R. May of New London said the property is rough ahd Hilly and the A house old. He valued it at $2.400. value of $18 an acre was fixed by E. Prentice, which made the farm w in his opinion $2,128.50. Nicholas Tar- rant said he had sold real estate for 35 years, and in his opinion the farm | is worth $2,200. There was a discus- | sion between he and Attorney Com- | stock about the 200 cords of hickory timber on the land. i _ A. L. Potter testified thaf the farm is worth no more than $2,500 and that the wood on it is not worth over $500 or_50 cents a cord. Engineer Palmer again made an ex- planation of the map and told of the water rights. After explaining that copies of the deeds would be put in later with other papers, Attorney Fan- ning stated that his side rested. J. Raymond Palmer was the first witness called by Attorney Comstock, and he said he has 140 acres of land. He said be did not understand the plan when asked to explain his boun- daries. He did not fix a value on the property. William RicRards, superintendent of the New London Water was called department, andg testified he fixed a value of $25 an acre on the wood land and $50 an acre on the other land. The house he valued at $250 and the | barn at $500, the total according to his figuring is $7,280, He raid if he had been buying it he would have tried to get it as low as possible. He should consider bis figure a fair market value considering the city had decided to_take it for a reservoir. He would consider ita fair prica if he } had not de- knew the c cided to take it. He mad= up his mind on these fizures because the city of Norwich had decided to take it for res- ervoir purposes and took in consider- aticn its value for a reservoir. He was on the stard when covrt ad- journcd at 4.30 until this morning at 0 io continue the matter. t is understood that Mr. wanted $9,390 for the farm Palmer but was ling to compromise for $6,000. The it is understood, had offered 0 to avoid litigation. although ten years ago it had an option on it for $1,950. Bad Names and Fighting.
