Here Is story that might win a Ford if 1t were entered in a contest being con- ducted by one New England daily, but in The Bulletin 1t merely wins place at the top of the column for this morn ing.
 Down on his farm on the Squaw Rocks road, James Manly pricked up his lars on a recent morning when he heard ! tremendous commotion among flock of about one hundred birds of various species that were swirling about an ap- pie tree as they chattered and scolded in a very unusual way. Sparrows, rob- lns, blackbirds and swallows seemed to have joined forces to combat some com hon enemy.
 The turmoil was so unusual and so 1ong-drawn-out that Mir Manly came up from his garden to investigate and was amazed to see that the birds were unit in battling against a three and halt foot black snake that had crawled ur the trunk of the tree, a distance of about seven feet, and had seized young robin from the nest where 1t had been matched and developed to the point where 1t was nearly able to fly.
 The snake held the young robin in It's jaws and clung tenaciously to the tree as battalions of birds swept down upon his scaly old back and pecked and claw ed at him. Right up on the danger line was the parent robins. apparently. fly ing repeatedly at the snakes head and frantically engaged in trying to pick the reptiles eyes out.
 Procuring a long stick Mir. Manly un- restrictedly belted MT. Snake until the wriggly cuss ran out on a limb and dropped to the ground-still clingtng tc &a~rr n ANxre from the stick in the hands of MT. Man ly finished the snake and brought tht release of a badly injured robin and the dispersal of the mixed flock of birds that had battled against the reptile.

 Members of the order here. and thes Include professional and business men property owners, taxpayers and man. other equally good and substantial citi Jens, cannot stomach any such outrage sus attack as emanates from Oneco ant 10 less the publication of such vile in situations. Other councils in Windhan county will without question pass resolu Hons condemnatory of the entire episode The day Is passed when such unwor thy attacks can go unchallenged, ant members here feel that nothing less thai . complete and sincere apology shoul' quickly follow what Is purely an at tempt to discredit hundreds of good an loyal citizens who are members or great brotherhood, irrespective of thei race, or political affiliations. If sucl apologies both for the authorship an publication are not forthcoming, ther are ample means of publicity to mak known the attitude of the, general publi on such unworthy enterprises.
