HOW MANY BOVINES?
Assessors and Cattle
Inspectors Are
Disagreed.
LEACH ASKS QUESTIONS.

Today,
LEACH ASKS QUESTIONS.

North Brookfeld, Nov. 29.-Herbert
Leach is after the cattle inspectors.
Mr.. Leach says that. the inspectors in
their reports to the state board of cattle
commissioners have reported more cat
tie by very large number than did
the town assessors when they were do
ing their work, and he purposes to
know the why and the wherefore. Well
informed people with whom The Spy
reporter talked today, say that an in
vestigation would show that the cattle
inspectors had not reported one bovine
too many. AS the cattle inspectors are
supposed to receive Is cents head for
cattle reported, these rumors have
made considerable talk.
Mr. Leach is proprietor of a big farm
on the old East Brookfield road about
mile and quarter east of this town.
He owns a large herd of cattle and is
considered a model farmer. He does a
big business in selling cream, and is
well known to the merchants of the
village.
Mr. Leach is expected to have some
thing to say in the matter by the time
of the next annual town meeting.
Or. A. y. BOyd, cattle inspector, was
informed of Mr.. Leach's attitude this
morning. DR.. Boyd looks on the re-
marks as uncalled for. He said he has
the records of every animal which he
has reported to the state board and is
willing to show them to any one, and
to prove their correctness. If the as
SCISSORS did not discover the full num-
Der, DR. Boyd considers that a horse
of another color, and something that
does not in the least affect the cattle
inspectors or their reports.
In the presence of a large number Of
friends and relatives, Peter H. Burke
and Miss Kathryn Hurley were united
in marriage at st. Josephs church
this morning. The ceremony was per-
formed at o'clock by Rev. II, j. Wren
after which a nuptial mass was cele-
brated. The bride wore a silken gown
Of slate hue, and her maid, Miss Mary
Bradley was gowned in the same color.
James j. Burke, brother of the groom,
was best man. After the mass we'd
ding breakfast was served by Mrs.
John Bradley of South Common street.
Both young people received many val
liable presents.

Date.
SEVEN HOURS UNCONSCIOUS

Webster, Nov Fitzpatrick Maroney
of Front street, Worcester, who says he
is tinsmith and lives opposite the
railroad station, met with severe &C
cident last evening.
Maroney came to Webster last night.
He enjoyed himself here until IL o'clock,
when he started to walk home. Wor-
cester is about II miles from Webster
by road, but that didn't trouble Marc
ney. He thought he was good for it,
but he wasn't, although it was not his
fault, and if he had not met with an
accident. he would undoubtedly have
reached home all right.
At the top of Oxford avenue, in Jer-
icho village, a sewer is being built. Ma
roney did not notice the ditch, and in
to it he stumbled. His face struck a
rock and he was rendered unconscious.
Maroney did not come to until
O'clock this morning. He had lain at
the bottom of the ditch unconscious for
nearly seven hours. A pool of blood,
the same covering his clothes, and a de-
cided ache in his head quickly informed
him that he had been hurt. His face
was damned painfully, and the right
eye closed completely.
He returned to Worcester on the Hoy
train this morning
The date first set for the champion
ship game of basketball between the
Unions and regular Websters has been
changed to Dec. II. owing to supersti-
ton, which made both sides reluctant
to meet on the 18th.
Mr.. Maher was the first to notice the
date, and his casual remark about the
same started the superstition with the
managers. Much money will be wa
gered on the game, and it is expected
that a record breaking house will be In
evidence when the Millbury referee calls
time.
The Worcester A. A. will play the
Webster A. C. on the Merino grounds
tomorrow afternoon in foot ball.
