The state of affairs, as portrayed sbove, is but the sequence of a long period of il feeling between Mr. Austjn and Nathan Gordon of Willow street, New Britain, a member of the | firm of Gordon BErothers in that city. Figuratively speaking, the two have of ap ersonal matter for some time. sach questioning the other's actions in regard to it. According to the local man, Gordon ewes him a certain sum of money. He has waited for payment without a‘thurmur, but he heard rtecently that ‘Gordon was gossiping about that Austin was the debtor and he the creditor. This was too much for him and when he saw Gordon on Depot Equare Wednesday morning, he ap- proached him on the question. Hot words ensued and when Gordon called Mr. Austin latter struck him a severe blow in the face, knocking him to the ground. Apparently Gordon saw the hopeles: ness of opposing the big iceman, for he Whimpered and submitted to the ing of defeat, threatening however, “to have the law on him. A Herald man spoke to Mr, Gor- on over the telephone this morning and learned from him that he ontemplating the bringing of a suft against Mr. Austin for assault.

W. Seymour [and grass fires, several of which are Heads New Organization. Fire commissioners and the select- men are planning to take up with the state forest fire warden the matter of compensating members of the hose company for their services at brush extinguished every spring by the local department. The town officials be- lieve the men should be paid by the state under the same rule which ap- plies to compensating men called out by the forest fire warden. Bills for $19.95 for the work of the company at grass fires last Friday and Tuesday have been received by the commissioners and while they will be paid out of the town treasury, an effort will be made to have reim- bursement made by the state. Men called upon by the forest fire warden to fight fires in the woods are paid at the rate of 20 cents an hour by the town, the state subsequently making a settlement for the amount expended.

A. Norton holding both the office of fire chief and forest fire warden. Grass fires that get beyond the control of property owners and endanger buildings occur here not in- frequently and an alarm is sent in calling upon the services of the fire department. The firemen work under the direc- tion of Mr. Norton, presumably as chief of the fire department, and the secretary of the company sends a bill to the commissioners. They are paid by the town at the rate of 3i cents an hour while the state pays but 20 cents. Town officials hold to the opinion that in such cases the bill should be sent through Mr. Norton as forest fire warden and the expense of ex- tinguishing the fires should be borne by the state. The state warden will be communi- cated with and an effort will be made to get him to stand responsible for the payment of the bills. Church Societies Unite. At a joint meeting of the Parish Aid soclety and the St. Agnes Gulld of the Church of Our Sawviour held last evening it was decided to consolidate the two organizations under the name of the Parish Guild. Both societies do considerable char- itable work in the parish and the members belleved that a great deal more could be accomplished if all worked together.

Plans for the observance of Memo- rial Day in Forestville and Plainville were made last evening by Newton Manross Post, G. A. R., at a special meeting.

Baward Hyland, a well known resi- dent of Forestville for several years, died early this morning at his home in that village. He had been ill for some time. Mr. Hyland was 62 years of age. His widow and three daughters sur- vive him. He was a clockmaker by trade and was employed in Forestville factories for years. He was well known here. Arrangements for the funeral have not as yet been made, 5 Must Hire Local “Cops.” While no requests for the policing of the Electric field during the base- ball season have been'received by the lccal authorities, it is expected that the management of the club will make the necessary arrangements before the opening next Tuesday. The baseball field is located in this town and consequently is under the jurisdiction of the Plainville police au- thoritlies. In the past there has at times been trouble with owners of the ciub who showed a preference for New Britain officers but this year it is thought an agreement will be rcached before the team starts to play. The selectmen do not intend swear in New Britain policemen as special officers while the local “cops’” are willing to do duty at the field and Manager Sinskie will undoubtedly have the Plainville “Pinks” at the fleld during the summer, Brief Items.
