IL has been some time since hold-up
was reported here, but We had one last
week. A Scott Marston WAS going
home from the village, about hslf-past
ten Wednesday night, at the bend OF the
rosd beyond the Park Street bridge he
was stopped by two men who wanted 10
know II he had any money. Now Scott
had lust IS cents with him, In small
coin purse, but he hated 10 part with 1t.
30. As he WAS walking along with his
hands 10 his pockets, he took the purse
In the palm OF his hand, and pulling
both hands out. turned the pockets with
them and explained that he had no
money. The men said they didn't want
ANYTHING OF him then, and went on
across the bridge toward the village, and
Scott put for home in the opposite direc-
ton. He admits that he was consider
ably scared.
The duties Of selectmen as fence-view-
ers sometimes call them into the settle
ment OF fenuy cases. The selectmen OF
an important Oxford County town hsv-
ing been called In 10 establish line
fence between neighbors were after
wards called sgain 10 find that each OF
the contending parties hadsbuilt what he
claimed 70 be his part of the fence, but |
that an opening of about three feet still |
existed. q sort OF gate way, allowing |
cattle 90 PISS from one lot TO the other.
Each claimed that IL was the duty OK the |
other 10 fence up this three-foot gap |
The chairman of the board was OF
practical turn OF mind and after giving |
both contestants some sound advice, and
making both promise 10 let his work
alone. he proceeded 10 neighooring
farm house, obtained some boards ana
nailed up the gap himself!
Now don't ge, excited, but an iron
mine has been discovered In the near
vicinity. While Judge Wilson was per-
umbulating the town line between Paris
and Greenwood few days since, ne
came upon place where, for nearly
quarter OF q mile, he Was obliged 20
work by back sights, owing to some
local attraction which detected the CON-
mass needle several degrees. It's no use
for the reader TO go and try 10 buy the
land for those who are IN the secret as
70 the exact location have probably
bonded the land by this time, and VIII
