This morning a number of them made
a raid on all the fruit trees ON South
street and not only stole the fruit but
broke the limbs off the trees. When
the owners objected, they were sub

Judge Love lii the probate colirt to-
day issued an order to certain banks
in the west where the estate of the
late Patrick Flynn is on deposit. This

The announcement that the state
roads appropriation is to be spent on
the Middlebury road has stirred up a
hornets nest in other parts of the
town and axes are being welded by
stalwart men, all anxious to get
slash at the board of public works.
There must be some mistake about

put aside their weapons until they
find out the facts. If the board of
public works has any rights In that

for something they know nothing
