panic stricken, had pressed back before
their weapons. Then the guard charged
upon them, pursuing them down the
streets and Kidding three of them with
bullets. Hundreds of the people Joined

occupied all the prominent places and
the people hurried to their homes and
barrcaded the doors and windows, then
awaited in fear the unknown future.

MERRY ROW is ON IN
WESTMINSTER WEST

Bellows Falls, Feb 1.-The village Of
West Westminster has been in state
of confusion ever since Judge Powers
signed the order Thursday restraining
them from Incorporating the village, and
were warned TO com, before him in New
fame in the court of chancery at the
April term to show cause why they
should not be enjoincd from further pro-
ceedings in the matter of village incor-
poration, and the collection of taxes.
The voters in the y.llage are divided on
the merits of the case and a merry row
is on.
Selectman e. T. Phelps was formerly
senator OF this county and he is charged
with pretending to have in his possession
a petition from the voters favoring in
CORPORATION, which the orators say has
never been filed or recorded in the town
clerk office, and which they say never
existed. They charge he refuses to pro-
duce 1t.
The seectnen dismissed the first petit
ton on the ground that it did not con-
tain a majority OF the voters Afterward
the boundaries were laid out and the petit
ton was signed by the entire board. Sc
lectman Ranney and Sptulding now claim
that they put their names to the first
petition without knowledge Of the full
contents of 1t being made known to
them.
The orators state that contract has
been made with the FAN Mountain Eec-
trio Light company and therefore no
court can set aside the action of the
previous meeting.
Westminster West, the place under fire,
is small village adjoining Bellows Falls,
and it Is understood will ask the next
LEGISLATURE to annex it 10 Bellows Falls.
