Gh9BtelEl: COLLECTIONS
BRING PUBLIC PROTEST
Delegation of Citizens Will Ap-
pear Before Council Tonight
to Make Complaint.

When City Council meets in weekly
session this evening a delegation Of
citizens win be present to voice
rigorous kick against the non-collec=
tion Of garbage in the particular sec
tion of the city in which they live
Some cf them have informed the
Councilmen that they have protested
to the Board OF Health but without
effect and they have, therefore, decfd-
ed TO make direct appeal to the
Council. They allege the garbage is
collected but once week and sJme-
times only once in ten days.
There will be no report from the
health board to Council this evening
on the performance of the new in
cinerating plant. II was stated last
week that the board would announce
iest what the plant was doing in the
way of the consumption of garbage.
hut such statement has not been
forthcoming from the health officials
Next week, however. the board will
have a report for submission to Coun-
ell as 10 whether the garbage is being
collected according TO contract as the
Council by motion sometime ago direc-
ted that such a report be forwar rded
to them.
II is understood the new incinerator
5as' been disposing of a much greater
amount Of garbage each day than II
was thought possible, especially since
he housewives have been draining
the water from the refuse. Many also
are wrapping the garbage and load
Of The material thus wrapped. II is
sa1d, can be run through the incinera-
tor IN remarkably short time. The
"a flsfactory performance Of the plant
has been due TO the cooperation of
the people of the sity who are exer-
cising much more care as TO what is
ssed into the garbage cans than
they had been doing prior to the pas
sing of the ordinance requiring that
garbage be dry.

BLOW UP THRESHER
FOR REVENGE IN
FARMERS RATE WAR
Continued from page /.

bentley says he does not have nm
enemy In the world that he knows OF
and he Is ut loss to understand why
anyone would want TO do him harm.
He is young man who only recently
started In the business and was en-
gagged i'm threshing the wheat crop OF
Stanley DEVILS. the former tenant ON
the Biggs farm. when his machine
was destroyed.
He started to work there on Mon
day morning and finished the crop
about I o'clock Monday evening. He
WAS careful after separating the en-
gine 10 clean the threshcr very
thoroughly and then he went TO his
boarding house about 800 yards from
the place where the machine was left
standing. IT was about 1880 o'clock
the same evening that he was aroused
by terrific explosion and when he
rushed to the scene he found the
thresher in ruins. Pieces of II had
been hurled distance of $50 feet and
were picked up i'm adjoining fields. No
one was hurt by the explosion al
though the thresher was standing
withip i5o feet of the Bryson home
when il was blown up.
Attorney General Investigates.
state Detective Baldwin. who is in
yestigating the case. said today that
he is looking up reports current about
Middletown TO the effect that there
has been much resentment on the
part OF some of those doing threshing
work i'm that section against what
they term the invasion of a foreigner
who came i'm and took much work
that they ordinarily would have had.
They are said m have resented this.
especially because they claim they can
hardly make a living now. They have
also expressed dissatisfaction over
the cut rates. but Remley claims he
had not entered into any cut rate
war.
II is said evidence has been found
to prove that the threshing machine
was blown up with some powerful ex-
plosive, probably dynamite, and IL has
been established that there was no
possible chance of the machine wreck
ing itself by any internal explosion
as there was nothing that could have
exploded Residents Of that entire
section are up in arms over the oc-
Gurren-e. declaring IL an outrage that
such n thirg could be perpetrated APP
parentiy so easi-y and in law abiding
community.
It was learned that last Monday
afternoon n strange white man was
seen in the vicinity Of the Biggs farm,
asking about a threshing machine. but
he later disappeared and was not seen
around there again. No one was seen
about the machine Monday night and
il is. bes.eved il anyone did set a
charge in or under ii they must have
had attached a time fuse of some kind
to give them an opportunity to get
away before the explosion occurred.
No arres.s have yet been made either
by the State detectives or the police
of Midd,etown.
Second Machine Damaged.

Middletown Tuesday night. The ma
chine belonged to Arthur Lockerman.
