 | Another unpleasant episode adding i to the series produced by the un- i friendly relations between Mrs. F. A.
 Ranney and Duncan Gray, neighbors l at the foot of Bedding Glen, occur ! red on Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Ranney's son. aged IA, was leading
 with a long rope heifer~from Gray's
 land when Gray appeared carrying | two clubs one of which he threw. It
 barely missed the boys head and striking the heifer set her off on a wild run The boy pluclkily held to the rope until forced to give up from exhaustion. He is in rather delicate health and being completely pros trated by his exertions his mother fears that the i'll effects will besper- manent. The boy says that besides
 throwing the club Gray assailed him with abusive and threatening langu-
 age. The selectmen at their meet ing last week, received another in
 direct request from Mrs. Ranney to
 adjust the fence controversy. between herself and Gray and sent back word 1 that she should present her applica- tion in person. Selectman Sanford denies a report that one of the mem bers of the board has said that Mrs. Ranney must do all the fence build , ing for the reason that Gray keeps no live stock. He says he made no such absurd declaration and feels
 sure that neither of his associates
 did.
