Merse who! teaches the school at Canterbury Creen, found the following ngte slip- ped under his door: “E. T. Merse—If you do not leave the town by next Sunday night for good you will be put out. We will not stand it any longer. X" Morse paid no attention to the note but when walking along the road a ceelt later he was hit on the head with a stone and rendersd uncon- scious. After recovering he went to the house 'of a neighbor and stayed during the night. The following night while sifting in his home he heard a knock on the door and going to an- swer it when he opened the door he was again hit on the head and in the chest. The blow in the chest caused internal injuries with which he is now suffeting. The culprits cannot be lo- cated.
