 Hostilities broke out on the fields of the Town Farm this morning. Supt. George F. Kibbe leading the 'home guards recruited. from his agricul- tural brigade, while two women of foreign birth were the invaders. Big and attractive dandelions that dot the fields there in profusion proved to be the bone of contention. The invaders desired to annex the greens and conffscate them for the good and well fare of their dinner menu. Superin- tendent Kibbe enforced the Monroe doctrine and resisted the invasion of the two descendants of the foreign cline. 4
 The women allege that Superinten- dent Kibbe was far from polite in the language used to them, came after them with a big stick and took away large cloth bag filled with the dan delions. the results of several hours of hard work. Superintendent Kibbe claims that the women came at him with the knives used in extracting the dandelions from the soil. one of the knives being of an ugly-shaped carv- ing type. An excited woman's voice informed police headquarters that there was a rumpus there. and asked
 for ''the wagon" Chauffeur Mat thias Rival and Policeman H. w. Lyon were sent to the scene in the patrol.
 Upon their arrival. the invader1 were noted in retreat, being busy in g distant field searching for more dan- delions.

Rawlings listened to their tale. of woe and allowed them to go on their own recognizance. They were directed to appear in court tomorrow morning and tell their tale of woe to Judge James T. Meslzill.

 Chartering a launch, the property of Charles Pond, the party got to work after the usual formalities of fishing parties had ceased, and indus triously did they put forth every effort known to disciples of Izaak Walton, to induce MT. Fish to nibble at their bait. But alas. said fish must have been enjoying a vacation for his nibble at the hook was not detected by tho local party. The trip, however, was not without incident, for in failure to land @ catch. Charlie Johnson established a precedent for him, 1t being an accepted fact that few Of "Charlie's'' trips have not been productive of good sized catches.
 Along in the cool of the evening. when the fishermen began to despair of anything exciting happening. ''Charde'' threw consternation into tho camp. by shouting that in the distance he saw what he detected to be . periscope. but closer examina- ton showed that it was only the re- mains of what was once a sparkling bottle Of XXX
