It fol- lows: ““Vera Cruz, Mexico, July 3, 1914. litor Herald: “Just to let: you know what - has gome under my personal notice here 1ately. { “Well, there isn't much except a street fight once in a while between the bluejackets and marines, Last Thursday, June 26 the marines caught sojpe bandits, 1 think there were six of them. They had been plundering the outskirts of the city and run- ning away with stray cattle, so. Sun- day they were marched under guard to the railroad station and put in a box car, the guard going with them to the American outposts and they were turned over to the Mexican au~ thorities and were tried and shot at sunrise Monday morning. They were calm and did not think anything -of it until they reached the firing line and then they turned deathly pale and hegan to beg for mercy, but no mercy was shown them for the sim- / ple reason that they did not show mercy to a mother when they murdered her and her children las: Thursday when she was protecting her property. “Well, that is about all the news for the present.

Golen of Berlin, ‘He enlisted in the navy less than a year ago, having spent several months at the Newport Training station pre- /vibus to the outbreak of hostilities in Mexico. He was then transferred to the Battleship Vermont and, dur- ing the time it docked at Boston a few months ago, he came home on a " furlough.

Asks for Transfer. of License. Rumors to the effect that Baker & Woods, managers of the Nutmeg House cafe on Depot Square, Ken- sington, have dissolved partnership, were confirmed today, when papers were filed with . Town Clerk Francis H. Shaw. ' John T. Baker, one member of the firm, has now applied to the county commissioners at Hartford for =2 transfer of the liquor license to him- self, same to allow him the privi- lege of selling spirituous and intox- icating liquors at the old stand. His application bears the signatures of ‘Willlam Hill, Myron A. Goodrich, James Brown, George A. Baldwin and Willlam C. Lacelle, property owners in the town ,of Berlin. As yet nothing has been heard in the way of remonstrance against the granting of the license and Mr. Baker wilk probably receive it without any trouble. Baker and Woods were the: first to obtain a saloon Mcense in this town last fall after Berlin had gone “‘wet" by a good plurality. John Woods, the wlthdra\ving mem- ber of the firm, has accepted employ ment in a New PRritain factory. Progress on Rectory.

Albrecht Goes to Jail. George Albrecht, arrested Saturday by Deputy Sheriff W. C. Hart on complaint of the Connecticut Humane society was fined $7 and costs and sentenced to jail for thirty days when he appeared in court before Justice E. P. Prior on the charge of non-support. According to the testimony of Miss Mary J. Lally, the society's agent, who Investigated the case, Albrecht has been neglecting his family for some time and his wife, who is a cripple, and their children are in des- titute circumstances. There were only two beds In the house for eight people snd in the tenement on Canal street the only chair found by the authori- ties was a wheel contrivance used by the crippled wife. Albrecht claimed that he had been urfortunate of late and could not get work. He told the court that he did the best he could for his wife and chil@ren. Testimony was introduced, however, to show that the accused spent a large part of his earnings for drink. Prosecutor Norton recommended a jail sentemnce as he belleved the town will have to look after the support of the family anyway. Peanut Vendor Arrested. Mike ‘Hyrikedes of New Britain, a peanut and popcorn vendor was taken into custody yesterday by Constable John B. Conlon on the charge of breach of the peace. Hyrikedes was arrested as the result of numerous complaints made concerning the weird sound caused by a whistle with which a peanut roaster, which he wheels about, is equipped. The ‘“peanut man” has been com- ing to Plainville every Sunday for several weeks and the authorities have received complaints against him. The police claim he has been violating the Sunday laws and his ‘“‘whistle” has disturbed the peace. He will be brought into court this evening. Marino Lands “His Man.” Domonick Delemino of Winsted, for whom Constable Philip Marino has hkqn looking for several days, piaced under arrest vesterday at his Delemino was wanted for his alleged connection with a row at a christening on Maple street a week ago. Three of those. implicated were fined in court for participating in the brawl but Delemino managed to elude lme officers at the time they made the was | arrests and they had no idea that he was implicated. The ‘others were disappointed, how- ever, over his success in getting aw: and last Wednesday they ‘peached’ on him to the authoritiies. The man had been working at the quarry at White Oak but evidently anticipated that the police would be after him and since early last week he failed to re- port at the plant. Constable Marino visited the crusher several times in the hope of arresting the accused but was unsuc- cessful. He went to Winsted yester- day and with the assistance of the pclice of that place took the fellow into cfistody. Delemino was released on bonds of $75 for his appearance in court on Thursday. The authorities claim ne has admitted his guilt. Many on Outing. The Trumbull Electric company had as its guests today at Savin Rock over 200 of its employes and their wives and sweethearts. It was the annual outing of the ‘“help,” starting the summer vacation of a week. Three special trolley cars were used to carry the excursionists to the ‘‘Rock.™ After arriving at the resort the party was served with a shore dinner. During the afternoon they enjoyea the various pleasures which the “Rock” affords and had a splendia time. The generosity of the officers of the company is felt not infrequently by the employes and is greatly appre- clated, McDonald Not Surprised. “Si" McDonald of this place, for years a premier catcher in the stats baseball league, told a Herald man this morning that the action of Dan O'Nell_in releasing him from , tne Hartford team, which he captained for the past two seasons, was no sur- prise tb him. In fast he had expected it for the past two weeks and was not disheartened as he was anxious to be relieved of the responsibility which he has borne for the past year. | Owner Scinski of the New Britain team has been after McDonald since he heard of his release. Owners of other clubs are also seeking his ser- vices, but “Si” will probably sign up with New Britain, should he decide to continue in the game, in prefer- ence to any other team, as he could play with the Hardware City com- bination and still get some time to devote to his business interests in Plainville.
