The board of selectmen ex-Selectman
c. N. Jones and Attorney c. A. Har-
rison were in consultation in the select
mems room Saturday evening over the
bills presented by Peter Jones for dam
ages to sheep and other property by
dogs. The charges made are not all
classified as to the dates and are not
very explicit One charge of $40 is
for the loss by dogs of the brush-end
of a cows tail, and the question natur-
ally arises: If the end of cows tail
is worth $40, how much is the entire COW
worth? The problem is respectfully re-
ferred to the investigating committee to
act upon and report when the other i'm
portant matter is reported next Thurs
day evening. A claim is made that the
brush end of the cows tail in question
was afterwards found by one of the
neighlbors in, the woods on the farm
where evidently lit had been caught In
the bushes and torn off instead of being
bitten off by dogs. There IS a question
of law involved whether or not that the
charges that are made for prior to 1888
are not outlawed. Ex-Selectman Jones
stated that he had no recollection of
any payment to Peter Jones for sheep
killed while he was selectman, but show
ed one charge on the 1893 book where $50
had been paid to Albert Jones for sheep
killed by dogs.
