frighten the selectmcn into paying them
$175 under threat that they would bring
suit against the town if il was not forthcom'

find corners of streets without guide boat DIS,

The St lectmen of Londonderry paid them
over $50 on their claims, and the men came
here with the idea of getting S175 out of
this town. The selectmen, however, re-
fused to pay the amount, and took legal ad-

collected If suit was brought against the

1t is supposed that these men make their
