Burgage, who claims the land on which the cottage stands, is defending the place with loaded gun. although he has bn held under bail for larceny. The trouble has come about through the erection on a strip or land at the head of Rehoboth Bay, wh!ch has always been supposed to be State or public land, of many sum mer cottages. The occupants paid no rent In many years. Burbage claims to have a legal deed to the land, and thus week after giving notice to the cottagers, most of whom live avray from here, went to Riley's place andt taking all of the furniture out, moved it to his own home. He then moved his own goods into Riley's cottage. Captain Riley had Burbage arrested for larceny. 25 DEAD FROM MINE v DISASTER SUNDAY PKEHISTORIC RELICS FOUND Interesting: and Valuable Discoveries on the Island of 3alta. Rome. Jan. 12.
