ROBINS ON THE WAR PATH. Several times
lately Court street at the junction of Spring
street has been the scene Of fierce fight be-
tween three robins and gray squirrel. The
squirrel is natural enemy OF the birds and
their nests and the three robins have evident
ly undertaken to teach him lesson. They
attack him the lawn, chase him through and
through the large elm trees and his only refuge
is in the tall grass in the Unitarian church
yard, where they seem to lose track Of him.
They have been seen to wait some time for
the squirrel to appear on the yard fence and
when he does so the fight is renewed with
vigor and the squirrel is again driven to beat
retreat.
