Daley. Mich, June 7s.-The re-
markable genius OF Joshua Triple the
village sign painter. may result IN
suit for damages being brought
against the village.
Triple a few days ago completed
small course In Sign painting. and to
show his skill painted a board fence
on the side of a barn standing along
the main street II looked SO natural
that several farmers have skinned
their knuckies trying TO hitch their
teams to II. and even birds have at
tempted TO light on II slipping down
the sides of the barn to the ground
and flying away In disgust.
The climax came. however, when
Tripe's bulldog chased stranger
down the street, who In trying to get
away attempted to jump the supposed
fence and nearly knocked his brains
out Several attorneys have already
written the stranger. who gives his
name as Frelinghusen- offering legal
aid in getting damages.
