GrangerS-MrS. Edmond to Leave Another chapter in the story sur rounding the efforts of neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Greene of Camp street to force them to give up the business of training dogs on their property came into existence yesterday when H. s. Wells, general agent of the Connecticut Humane society, came here to investigate a complaint that one of the canine boarders was suf- fering from a broken spine and was being treated cruelty by the care takers. The Humane society had been advised that conditions on the Greene dog farm should be looked into and Agent Wells visited the place as a result.
 When asked for information re- garding the attitude of MT. Wells, MT. Greene handed the Herald man the following statement: Mrs. Charles Greene wishes to express her thanks to the unknown friend who kindly ln- troduced her to H. s. Wells, general agent of the Connecticut Humane so- ciety. She found him very pleasant gentleman and enjoyed his call 1ues- day morning very much. She would be still more thankful if the person would give information regarding a dog with a broken back, as neither she CT MT. Greene have ever seen one Tn that condition, and would be pleased to know the symptoms
 MT. Greene amplified the statement by saying that he recently killed dog belonging to Cotton Noble of New Britain which became affected With Saint Vitus dance following distemper. Seemingly someone believed the an imaPs back was broken, and the report to the humane authorities resulted.

Malone of Bristol to look after his interests and, acting on the lawyers advice, he refused to obey the selectmen's mandate. The situation was unchanged, the selectmen failing to take the initiative after their order was ignored and until yesterday when Agent Wells paid his call there were N''N'O'
