for an insurance agent of Providence,
and one or more Olneyyille families,
unless they retract some hard things they
are credited with saying about mason
and plasterer whose home is on Delaine
street.
The bone Of contention is barn which
was erected about one year ago on Delaine
street. The harm has somewhat OBJ
structed the view of one or more of the
families in the vicinity. When the mason
applied to the Board Of Aldermen to
erect the barn. the owners in the vicin-
ity entered protest. but it was of no
avail. Since then the owner of the barn
has not enjoyed the confidence and good
will of his Deighbors.
There was n slight fire in the vicinity
few days ago, and IL was hinted that the
mason could tell just how the fire started.
and it is reported that an insurance
agent was told that tho mason was to
blame for the fire.
The insurance agent called upon Chic,
of Police Baker and the case was then
referred to Capt Laavitt Of the Chaffee
street station. That official sent "A SER
geant TO the mason's home, and the
mason was put through course OF
sprouts The upshot of the matter was
tnat the mason called on Chief Baker
Saturday for the purpose of learning the
name Of the insurance agent who made
the charge. but the chief was not in his
office so the mason made IA beeline for "a
lawyer and gave him instructions to
bring "a civil suit against the sergeant,
and made that officer divulge the name
OF the person who started the story. The
mason says the neighboIs are bound to
drive him off, but he says he can fight
just as long and just as hard as they can,
and Is bound to learn who dare charge
HIM with arson.
