| side mill are not weavers. and are not
making any great headway at weaving. so

| the number, had not the owner OF the
package recognized his property.

too glad 10 learn that the case has been
| settled outside Of the court room.
All parties concerned met last evening
| and each was satisfied TO let the mat
| ter drop.
II is only fair to say that Mr.. Fenner
| put up a good fight during the last OF the
| squabble. for there was number In sym
pathy with Munroe. who were foolish
enough to get too near Mr.. Fenner.
