Because he went into another man's boarding house Friday “night, seizea %{fn by the neck as he lay sleeping in is. bed, threw him to the floor and proceeded to give hipn the worst trouncing he has ever received—all « Without the _slightest John Bodnski, a laborer employed at Styleseand Reynold’s brickyard in Berlin, 'was fined seven dollars and cpsts by Judge George Griswold n the Berlin pclice court this morn- ing. His employers paid his fine and he was released shortly before Jioon iri ‘a very repentant mood, de- termined to ‘“‘quit boozing it,” Whicn, he felt, was responsible for all the trouble. In giving his version of the assault tor the court, Bodnski explained that _on Friday night he drank “‘a hell-of- a-lot of booze,” subsequently becom- ing very intoxicated, so thoroughiy uhder the influence of liquor, in fact, _that this morning he was utterly un- " ‘able to remember or acccunt for his actions on that night. He and several other laborers had enjoyed an informal beer party at Holmes' brickyard earlier in the evening. One of his comrades ‘“got fresh” and a fight started, the fresh one taking to the neighboring fields en he perceived that his nose was being abused too freely. ™Three other members of the party whd labor at Styles and Reynolds plant did not approve of the state of ':ftnlra and, after expressing their ews quite plainly, they left for héme. Josejh Litke acted as spokes- man for this group, he being the most polished orator. o Golng to their boarding house, the :.three men retired for the night, all in one.bed. Litke's oratorical effort S ‘had exhausted him and no sooner £ h#d he "hit the hay” before he went gnto the land of dreams. The other Awo-were lying in the bed, smoking provocation—al |-nd talking, when they heard a loua [knock at the door. One of them jopened the door. Someone brushea by him in the.darkness, felt around in the bed and, upon finding Litke be- gan a real old fashioned assault, After stopping 'a.few dozen blows, which are said to have come thick and fast, Litke awoke. He objectea to Bodnski's procedure and told him_ 80 immediately. The latter took no stock in what Litke told him, how- ever, and continued his pounding on Litke's nose until prevented by the othier men in the room. Everybody felt tired after the strenuous perfarmance and, with the usual greetings? Bodnski went home. Saturday he heard the police were on his trail and he dared not spend the night in his own room. He was arrested last night. Bodnski told the judge that he had not been arrested: before and would never have fa)len into the ‘toils of the police this time had it not been for the fact that drink had gotten the best of him. Delegates Appointed to Convention. At the semi-annual meeting of .the Rural Letter. Carriers’ assocla- tion of Connecticut, which was held Saturday, at' Foresters’ hall in Ber- lin, J, F. O'Keefe of Middletown, H. S. Brown of Norwich and T. F. Crane of Bridgeport were elected del- egates to the nattonal convention to be held at Wasghington, D. C, on the second Tuesday in August. Efficiency in the public service was the keynote of an interesting address @elivered dt the meeting by Professor Willard C. Fisher of Mia- dletown, who drew up the Reilly bill, ‘providing ‘maintenance for rural letter carriers, Oftentimes, things in charge of the government are not so well done as those taken care of by private indi- viduals, explained the speaker, rea- { soning that this was largely due to the fact that those who do the work do not take the personal interest in it that they should if. it were their own affair. Baraca Class lmpnrmnl S(‘flblon. Rev. P. E. Shoeémaker, pastor of the Southington Methodist church, will deliver a lecture at the monthly meeting of the Baraca class, which is to be held this evening in the Ken- sington Methodist church. Following, plans for outings dur- ing the coming summer will be dis- cussed by the members. At present,, they have in view a camping party to Bett's Island and a bluefishing cruise. Those in charge hope that the at- tendance at the meeting will be large. Narrow Escape from Death. Willlam Chamberlain narrowly es- caped instantuneous death early Fourth of July morning, when as he was sitting on the bench outside of Flannery's barn in Berlin, watching a number of older boys discharge a. cannon, the machine suddenly ex- ploded, one or two pieces whizzing through the air and tearing a hole } tisea tnilg wedk ‘at the Berlinipost of# NEW B:RIT lN DAILY HERALD MONDAY, JULY 6, 1914. in the barn wall less than -lx \Inches away from his head. The cannon, which. was the ' prop- erty of Alva Ventres, son of- Mr. and Mrs. George Ventres, had been ( placed in the center of \the car‘tracks at Boston.corners, shortly after 4 o’clock in the morning.

Had a Quiet Fourth, Plainville's Fourth of July celebra- tion was about the quietest on record. The town was nearly as peaceful as it is on any other day and there was hut little to disturb shut-ins and others who do not as a rule get en- thusiastic over the usual Indepen- dence Day racket. The celebration was safe as well as sane, a few slight burns from the premature explosion of firecrackers being the only “acci- dents” reported. Plainville sent a large number of people to New Britain in the evening to enjoy the municipal fireworks dis- play given on Walnut Hill park. There was plenty of noise on the “night before,” however, but the usual pranks with which the celebra- tors annoy the police were for the most part omitted. Fifteen special officers besides the regular constables did duty around the center and at the churches and school houses. They had little trouble in keeping the celebrators from, ringing the bells or "¢dusing any damége to property. One and wag got into the Baptist church at 6:30 in the morning, after the officers had gone home, and rang the bell. Although ‘his identity is known to the police, he still enjoys his liberty. Races at Allen Track. Owners of speedy horses in Plain- ville and vicinity enjoyed a good af- ternoon’s sport at the Allen track on Fast street yesterday putting their steeds through the workout paces.

Smith’s pacer showed the most speed and outdistanced all the other thoroughbreds, including a hcrse owned by W. C. Hart, which heretofore showed its heels to all its opponents on the Allen track.
