BIG MAN UNDER BIG TREE
Sheriff Sibley of Danielson mailed a
postal to this office the other day
showing a picture of a white oak tree
owned by the county of Windham, sit
uated an eighth of a mile north of the
village of Brooklyn. The tree is sup
posed to be the largest white oak in
the county and is IS feet, 6 inches in
girth and has a spread of branches of
123 feet. Sheriff Sibley is under the
tree seated in an auto with three oth
er good men and although Mr. Sibley
Is a big man he is all out of propor
tion to the gigantic tree. Like Mr.
Sibley, however, the tree appears to
be hale and hearty.
