 Trouble has been brewing at the Branch
 
 ians. The story as told is that at the Branch there is an Italian who runs a boarding house. He went to New York at various times and each time secured some forty or fifty sons of Italy to whom he promised work. Each Italian, it is said gave the padrone s for securing him a position at the Branch Things went along smoothly until the last batch ar rived, when the trouble began. Only ten of the fifty who came up could secure work. The others were refused board by the trader. Last night, it is said. the angry Italians were looking for satisfaction and the boarding house keeper seemed to be the object of their wrath. Report has it that the latter is still hiding in the woods and that he will fair il!y if captured by the men.
