the plans TO them and they were just as nice
as could be for little while. Why, they
arranged everything, told us how to pay
and all that and then when we were settled
they began to persecute us.

on the porch nights. they raised such q
disturbance playing chin music on comb
Before l -"
The rest was lost. Mr.. Hasking havipG
edged around to position where he coue
shut the door.
The shades in all the other houses on the
block were drawn down. The reason FOL
this. it was explained. WAS that the resi-.
dents felt annoyed at the notoriety the
neighborhood had received through Their
complaint against Mrs. Hasking.

Church. who headed the dele-
CATION OF complainants to court on Satur-
day, was not at home, his wife said, and she
declined to be interviewed
