Latvian Peasants Face Old Landlords and Title Hurdles
In Latvia peasants resist by paying rents and hoping for title, despite old owners claiming land cannot be sold. Estates with drainage plants and estate railways aided vast farming, making small plots hard to cultivate. Many peasants urge former owners to return as managers to revive old systems. Bangor Maine reports George Hinton, famed Miramichi hunter, hospitalized after battling a wounded bull moose near New Brunswick. He shot the large bull, then clung to its horns to escape as another moose charged.
