claim of foul against Mckinney, on Pirate. for
crossing him coming to the last jump, while David

SHEFFIELD WATER FIGHT
Rumor Says Company is to Shut OF
Water From Certain Buildings.

Rumor Says Company is to Shut OF
Water From Certain Buildings.
The fight of some of the villagers
with the Sheffield Water Company,
according to the Berkshire Courier, will
be brought to an open issue if the select
men take the contemplated action OF
shutting off the public water early in
July.
1t was rumored recently that the
water company would shut off the water
from the town hall, the school houses,
churches and public water troughs since
the town voted only $500 TO pay the
company for public water at the recent
annual meeting, whereas the company
wants $500. Treasurer George II. Spur
however, last week denied the rumor
and said he had heard of no snch in
tentions. He thought 1t was idle rumor-
1t is known that two of the selectmeR
take the view that so long as the
board has been unable to settle with the
company for the years rentals at 5000,
the company demanding $500, the town
might be responsible for the $500 de-
manded by the company, provided the
town should continue 10 use the water
