We heard rumors of some trouble
which occurred north of town between
one of our farmers and a fruit tree

said agent was driving along, smok-
ing three-for five cheroot and drive
into the wire, thus startiug his horses
after which he proceeded to make
trouble. This stretching the wire OF

is going on should be on the lockout
