ASSAULT ALLEGED
Claim That Charles H. Heath Pre-. vented William K. Pike From Doina Work Authorized by Town Author ities.


 Charles H. Heath, of Kiringly Gen. ter has been summoned to appear in the town court to answer to a charge civil engineer, engaged in doing sur Veying for the town of Killingly at the time the alleged assault is claim ed to have been committed. AS trustee for his grandson, Frank k. Heath, MT. Heath some time ago came into possession of property at Killingly Center, located about the old Warren sawmills and near the old town house. \ Months ago MT. Heath invited the selectmen to view the line where he purposed to erect a fence. They re- fused to view this staked line as fence l viewers, but are understood to have said that they would not object to the erection of fence at that point so 1 far as it's relation to the nearby high way was concerned, but would not 1 concede that it established a legal l boundary.
 More. recently the town officials, l through counsel for the town, noti- | fled MT. Heath to remove all barbed wire from fences under his control 1 that bordered on the highway and al- 50 requested him to repair bridge ONSI c IoC0Wd9s IL bCAI1S lIIC. SlcAlHl Ol the town that he is responsible for keeping this bridge in repair. Following these incidents, MT. Pike was sent by the selectmen to run some lines for them, for it is their belief that the town owns certain property over which there appears to be diff ference of opinion as to title, and fl was while Mir. Pike was engaged :'ir running these lines that the alleged assault upon him is claimed to have taken place.
 The writ does not set forth battery against MT. Heath, only charging tha'
 he interfered with Mir Pike to the ex.
 tent of breaking his tape and knockins
 a stake from his hand MT. Pike it said to have left Off worl; and reported
 the matter to the selectmen.
