ANOTHER PIGGERY,,

Race Prejudice Said to Have Inspired
 Complaint Made to the Health
 Officer.
 Yesterday afternoon Town Health Officer O'Hara and reporter of the DEMOCRAT made @ trip to West Side hill to in- vestigate reported piggery nuisance on the premises of Edward Casey, on what is known as Park road, one of the most de- tightful places within miles of Waterbury. When nearing the scene stop was made at the house of William Stubbs and inquiry made as to the condition of the place. Mir Stubbs said that Oasey's piggery was in a shocking condition and that his family had suffered much on account of the odor. The mans description of the place was so sweeping that the doctor thought seriously of putting of his visit until he could pro- cure his rubber coat and other precaution- sry apparatus before risking his life about the place. But he finally decided to face the danger and few minutes later he was introducing himself to Mrs Casey. She said it was news to her to know that the two small pigs which her husban kept were a source of nuisance to anyone and thought if they were that the aggrieved should have called on her husband and explained matters and ths nuisance, if such it could rightfully be termed, would immediately be removed. For further information she referred tha doctor to her husband, who was at work in lot at the rear of the house.
 While the doctor was in convers ltion with Mir Casey the reporter was making an investigation on his own hook, and hap pened to meet an acquaintance who knew the source of the whole trouble. He said he thought the complainant had no fault to find with the hogs. "The trouble rests" he said, with the parties who own them, and if you can find out the facts you will see that tte source of this com- pIaint is MT Stubbs, who actually detests the sight of an Irishman. The Casey family moved here from Middlebury some years ago, and when MT Stubbs heard they had bought the place he almost ent into mysteries to think that himself and family were about to have for neighbors a man and woman whose race and religion he actually abhorred." It seems that MT Stubbs is an Englishmsn and does not look upon his neighbors who come from "that place beyond the channel" with a kindly eye and to this could be traced the cause of the complaint.
 Old MT Casey was thunderstruck at the idea of complaint having been entered against him, but said if the doctor con- sidered that his two little pigs were too AC0A any OL Alo Ac1SuOO4S AO with remove them. The health officer could not see any particular reason why the man should change the location of his pen, but in order to avoid any trouble with his neighbers he aIvised him to place the pigs few hundred feet further into his lot.
 Some of MT Caseys neighbors were seen on the way home and all stated that It was case of bad blood on the part of William Stubbs against his neighbor. Mir Casey's place belonged originally 10 H. Root, a son-in-law of MT Stubbs. and at the time of the sale it is stated that MT Stubbs made a bitter fight against letting the place pass into the hands of the new conner. Ctsey has been living on West Side Hill for about six years and it is stated that the Stubhs family although living next door has never recognized them, but on the contrary have done all in their power to make matters disagreeable for the old couple.
