George Merrill, the Middlesex farmer
against whom an entry of noile prosequi
was recently made in city court, after
he had been detained on a statutory
charge, returned yesterday from fruit
less hunt on both sides OF the Connecti-
cut river for horse and carriage which
he claims had been taken from his pos
session. Merrill believes he knows the
man who has the outfit and in his con-
ference with the police authorities to-
day he disclosed the circumstances under
which the man was to meet him at
Northfield and turn over the rig. Mer-
rill kept his part Of the engagement and
soon after the other principal in the
proposed meeting failed to appear, the
Middlesex man began to hear of his Wis
ting different towns on his way down to
White River junction, where he is be-
lieved to have crossed the river into New
Hampshire. The authorities have caused
to be printed large number of circulars
describing the rig and copies have been
sent to every town of any size in YER
mont and New Hampshire.
Civil and city authorities are apt to
clash over a curious situation which ex-
lists on Branch street, where a particular
spot on the highway resembles a small
sized auction road. The way to the
present conhiction of authority was laid
open last Friday when constable served
an eiectment writ on tenant in that
locality for the alleged non-payment of
rent. When the household gods had
been removed to the curbing, the owner
a determination to wash ms
hands of the whole affair. Thus far his
promise to leave the furniture, etc,
where it was deposited on the curbiug
has been kept faithfully and some few
showers that have doused his possessions
have not served to change his mind.
Now arises question as to whether
anyone has the right to obstruct an
artery of travel and it is understood
that aggrieved persons, weary of going
around the pile of household goods, are
taking the matter up with the city's
legal agent. Residents of little Brook
lyn, so-called, are awaiting with more
than mild degree of interest the out
come of the ejectment proceedings.
