In a telephone conversation Monday ' the co- owners both verified their understanding with Mr. Dougherty to maintain super- vision over and other general upkeep of the property. The Doughertys say they have been experiencing their neighbors’ ill feelings for at least five years. The couple stated that many of the neigh- borhood children have been a constant source of annoyance to them. Besides the petition, they said, another unpleasant confrontation occurred during the summer when they discovered about two dozen roofing nails strewn throughout the driveway. Mrs. Dougherty also said that at around the same time potatoes were thrown at the windows on their home, splintering the wooden Lake-Lehman School Direc- tors voted at their monthly meeting Feb. 13 to replace a number of small woodworking tools which had been stolen from the high school the pre- vious week.

Allegedly a juvenile officer con- tacted the homes of the children suspected; however, the elderly couple report that the mischief has not ceased. In regards to the “illegal use of weapons by firing towards children”, the harried couple claim that again the charges are unjustified. Mrs. Dougherty noted that on the other hand, “shooting very close to...and pellets striking our house’’ has happened more than once.

Nuisance calls are another problem having caused them to change their telephone number several times and to request its being unlisted. The Doughertys feel that they have been unjustly incrimi- nated throughout this whole matter and express their hopes for having their ‘‘names cleared.” Fights (continued from PAGE ONE) chest injuries, then later re- leased, the superintendent said.
