 This communication was handed Mr Washburn Monday December <, 1919. Tuesday was raining and he did not go out on the road, but on Wednesday, December To he went out there and found the fences still in place and no one moving them. The contractors teams were partly idle, owing to the fact that all the road that had been opened had already been graded.
 In order to save the district from T claim for damages for time lost it was necessary to get some place for the graders to work Mr Washburn iS an engineer who believes the way to get any thing done is 10 dc if, so with the aid of MT Ed Moss and My. Bryant, he commenced 10 take down Mr. Coy's fence, in acordance with the permit which he held.
 Abuot 1 rods of fence had been taken down and set out of the roadway, and they had just commenced on the other side of the road when Mr and Mrs. Cox apeared he armed with ulcb about 31. feet long and she with a gun They came to Mir Washburn and in sn angry and insulting maner demanded that he leave the fence alone as he. iAlr. Cox. would move his own fence, @AlriEAt' said the engineer, just move il then for you have had all the fall To do il in and now rhe teams are idle for lack of room to work and in tend to start them in right here this afternoon" Then without any provo cation Mir. Cox hit Ed Moss over the head with his club Before Inc could strike again Engineer Washburn jump cd in between them and said if you are going to hit any one hit me, for l am entirely responsible for the whole matter" Cox replied T will hit you. Washburn replied strike, if you dare. am here Wf5hin easy reach" lie dtl not E.t however. but he said he was after Moss oa another mater, and Mrs. Cox declared she would shoot him, Moss. full oi holes. This ended the farce, except that Mir Cox was told that if he kept he teams out of heir work heir time would be charged to him. Mr WashbWn hen went over on another part of the road and set some grades and returned in the afternoon and found Mir. Cox had moved his fence and the teams working.
 No further trouble is anticipated.
