floor with his wife and three children,
when awakened by the dogs barking
found the hallway filling with smoke.

Iredal answers that he does not con-
slider Miller avenue the most important
thoroughfare, and that he has acted

in front of the Nathan Dodge resi-

Mrs. Dodge, and on the other the mem

Both factions are members of the
same prominent set here, and the
town trustees, who gave permission
for the cutting, are also unwilling par
Elephants in the conflict
Mrs. Dodge ordered the trees cut
down because they broke the pave
ment in front of her home, shut out
the view and kept the sunlight off her
garden.
The improvement club insists that
the trees were among the oldest in
the town and made Fifth street the
most beautiful thoroughfare in the
county. They pointed out that as the
cork elms shed their leaves in the
winter, no sunlight would be shut out
when needed. The club censured the
trustees for their action in granting
permission for the cutting, declaring
that it has spent hundreds of dollars
in setting out trees here and that
steps will be taken to secure such leg
islation that trees once set out may
be protected.
