A. Hyde Settles Suit Brought by Hugh Reynolds. Marcus Munsill, a New York autolst was fined $15 and costs, amounting to $29.41, by Judge George G. Gris- wold in the Berlin town court this morning for having the muffler of his altomobile open while passing through the center of the town yes- terday afternoon. Two charges were preferred against the accused, one, of reckless driving, being nolled. Before the court opened Prosecutor Gjbney conferred with Attorney J. W. Knox, of Hartford, who defended Mr. Munsill, and a nolle on the count of reckless driving was agreed upon th&m if the defendant offered a plea of guilty on the charge of having the hnlll{fler open. The court however, required evidence to determine if the violation of the speed law occurred in a thickly populated district which would. necessarily endanger the safe- ty of the public and whether there were any reasons why a slower speed wag imperative. After subsequent testimony. marked by frequent tilts between Prosecutor Gibney and At- torney Knox, the court was convinced and nolled the first count imposing a fine of $15 and costs. William J. Donahue, an employe of the state police, who made the ar- rest was the witness for the state. He gaid that he was making a trip from Hartford to Bridgeport and was on the Berlin turnpike when his motoreycle broke down. He telephoned to Hart- rord for assistance and William Lebey, employed by the Eastern Cycle com- pany, responded. the necessary tools to fix the broken n\gch{ne, the two started for Hartford on"Lebey’s motoreycle. It vus at this time that Munsill was sccn coming down the road at a high rate of speed with his muffler open. Donahue aimed that he shouted to him to op but that no attention was paid to his command, so he commenced to follow. He overtook Munsill at Cedar Hill and placed him under arrest for reckless driving and having the muf- fler of his car open. Lebey was unable to appear in gourt this morning because of illness but since Mr. Munsill lived in New York and would undergo considerable Inconvience if the case was continued the court proceeded with the case at the request of Attormey Knox. Lawyor Knox raised several technical ques- }ions which Prosecutor Gibney claimed would have to cause an adjournment n otder that he would have sufficlent fime to examine and take measurc pents Of the territory envolved. As he did not have ' After considerable argument Attor- niey Knox and Prosecutor Gibney came to terms and the case was closed, Anderson Sells Property. A deed has been filed with Town Clerk Francis H. Shaw recording the sale by John Anderson of Kensington his twenty-seven acre farm to Hjal- mar Hultquist of New Britain. The sale also includes the buildings stand- ing upon the property. Dog Owners Delinquent. Although there are but a few days left for owners of dogs to have them licensed, few have up to date done so. There are about 400 owners of ganines about the town and Town Clerk Shaw has only had about twenty-five Ili- censes as yet taken out. A penalty of $1 will be charged to delinquent owners of the “purps’” after May 1. Spoke on Colonial China. At a meeting of the Emma Hart Willard chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, held yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. B. K. Field of Worthington ridge, Dr. E. J. McKnight of Hartford gave a very interesting paper on ‘“Colonial China.’ Some beautiful chinaware was spread out upon a table by him and he ex- plained the various pieces in a very. entertaining manner. A number of vocal selections were rendered by Mrs. Arthur Brooks of Meriden, which were much enjoyed. Eggs Slipped Off Plate. Bursts of oratory from the prisoners’ pen and sprinklings of real humor characterized the trial of “Olie” Olson for drunkenness and ‘breach of the peace. The entire situation, it was testified, arose from the fact that while “Olie” was frying eggs at the home of Bengt Anderson yesterday morning, hot grease spattered up on his hand, causing him to let slip six fried eggs which he was holding on a plate, Despite “Olie’, urgent plea for leniency, Judge Griswold saw fit to sentence him to sixty days in jail, the prisoner having violated the pro- bation under which he was placed April 3, when arraigned in court for drunkenness, and subsequently fined one dollar and costs, totalling eleven dollars. Bengt Anderson, who was the first witness called, testified that ‘'Olie,” whose correct name is James Robert Olson, ran amuck with a butcher knife yesterday and, after stabbing Eim in the left hand with it, threat- ered to cut him into thin slices. Anderson didn't seem able to regard the court seriously and, during his testimony, went into frequent parox- psms of laughter. Things seemed to | strike “Olie” as funny at times and he too gave vent to his mirth oc- | cagionally, Anderson told the court that the sad state of affairs had its beginning in his kitchen yesterday | Taorning. “Olie,” he said, let six nice | fried eggs slip off a plate and onto the floor, When he spoke to the em- bryo cook regarding his carelessness the ldatter became peeved, he said, | and, brandishing the butcher knife { with which he had been turning the innocent eggs in the frying pan, he rushed for him, inflicting a gash in his hand, “What did you Prosecutor Gibney. “What would you do if somebody was rushing after you with a big knife,” replied Anderson. “Why, I kicked him out, of course.” He then went on to tell that “Olie” chased around outside, clearly Dbespeaking his wrath, William Hill, a neighbor, happened do then?’ asked along as “Olie” rushed around the corner of the house “with the biggest kpife he ever saw.” - He beat it for l, ¢ safe quarters and then telephoned to Officer Ritchie. ‘““Olie’” quoted the scriptures in a strong voice, he said, and greatly disturbed the peace of the reighborhood. When given his chance to speak, “Olie” began in aspronaunced Swedish dialect: *“All I want to do naow is to tell the truth, that's all.” Con. tinuing, he said that it was when the eggs and plate dropped from his hand that Anderson ‘“got mad,” and swore vociferously at him. “Olie” has heard profane language before, so he sim- ply ignored Anderson until the latter first him him on one side of the face and then followed up with another blow on the other side of his physiog- nomy. To ward off a third blow, he held up the' hand in which he held the knife that he was ‘‘twisting” the eggs with, he said, and Anderson's hand descended upon it, with the dire results that had been mentioned pre- viously. ‘“You've been in court before, haven't you?” asked the prasecutor. es, on the second of April.” “What were you charged with?"” “Eleven dollars.” Several mare of the prosecutor’s questions succeeded in getting the pri- soner to admit that he had violated probation and had not yet paid his old fine which, it was agreed, he was to have turned over to Officer Ritchie. “How many drinks did yeu have vesterday?” asked Mr. Gibney. *Olie” professed ignorance as to the exact number. “Tell me how many glasses of beer you drank,” persisted the prosecutor. “Well. we used to drink right from the bottle,”” ‘came the answer. In respanse to further questioning, “Olie” told the “court that he had been working” for Anderson for som@ time past, the agreement being that he was to receive hs remuneration in “good will.” Prosecuting Attorney Gibney asked him if he expected to pay his old fine in ‘“good will.” “Olie” was arrested in a Kensing- ton saloon this morning by Constable John Hackett. He said that he had been walking all night and went into the booze emporium as soon as it was opened for business. Two Suits Against Anderson. Deputy Sheriff James Clark has served papers on Bengt Anderson in two suits brought against him by At- torney Joseph Woods of New Brit- ain, acting for S. F. Labreniac, the feed man, and H. J. Colby, both of Kensington. Both cases are return- able before John A. Moore. justice of the peace, on the first Tuesday in May. Both plaintiffs declare that they loaned money to Anderson and have not been repaid. Mr. Colby claims that on Apr . 1915, he loaned fifty dollars to Anderson and Mr. Labren- jac claims that on the same date, An- derson borrowed $8.50 from him. Hyde Settles Suit. W. A. Hyde of Kensington yester- day made a settlement with Hugh Reynolds, the New Britain grain dealer in an action for the recovery of $110, which the later brought against him early in the week through Attorney F. P. Hungerford, Tt is understood that the defendant gave the plaintiff a mortgage on a piece of property not | in this town. Deputy Sheriff James Clark served the papers on Mr. Hyde Wednesday and attached two horses and a like number of hcifers. he case was to have been returnable before the court of common pleas on the first Tuesday in May.

POLICE HUNT FOR MISSING LM3 . Thicves Gain Entrance Through Win- dow—Piace Burglarized Three Times Within a Year—Will Have Traffic Officer at Center Sundays. Meats, groceries and tobacco valued over $25 were stolen from the Clean Little Store on Whiting street some time last night and the police are working today in an effort to capture the burglars. It is the third time within a year that the market been raided and today H. I Tichin, the proprietor, was one Oof the most indignant men in town. He clalms to be growing weary of fur- nishing material for banquets for the midnight prowlers and he is crving for more activity on the part of the anthorities. Each time the place has heen visited a new method of entering has been adopted. The burglars have broken ibe lock on the door, have broken the door itself and now they are resorting to the window. There is a small aperture nearly ten feet from the ground used to get ventilation for the store. It was through this that the burglars made their entrance last night. They pried off the screen which covered it, using planks for a staging to work on. Once inside they adjourned to the ice box, selecting a whole carcass of lamb for their own use. They also took a good “cut” of beef, nearly half a barrel of sugar and a quantity of tobacco. The appearance of the store this morning indicated that they were in no special hurry and much of the stock had been moved, the visitors evi- dently taking time in the making of their selections. The job, like others done at the market was evidently done by local talent and today the police are about sniffing for the odor of roasting lamb in an effort to apprehend the culprits. Officer Philip Marino. the town's patrolman, was on duty until 1 o’clock this morning and as he spends much of his time around midnight near the center it is likely the burglars waited for him to quit before they made the break. Traffic Man for Sundays. The board of selectmen has de- cfded to have an officer on duty all day Sundays for the summer directing the traffic at the center of the town Yast yvear the officer worked in the afternoons only but the selectmen be- lieve that there is enough traffic in the morning to warrant naming a po- liceman to serve all day On Sundays the automobile traffic through the town is very heavy and for the protection of pedestrians and passengers on trolley cars, who get cff at the center, an officer can be of considerable service in watching the machines. The town is without any traffic regulations but “heretofore it has been found that aufoists are willing to accept the instructions of the officer on duty without any protesi and as a result he is able to accomplish con- siderable. The selectmen have not decided who will do the traffic work but it is given in the Town hall this evening by the Sons of Veterans’ association for the purpose of raising funds for the engaging of a band for the annual Memorial day parade here. Those in charge anticipate a large attendance, even though the weather man goes back on them. All the old-fashioned dances will be in order this evening and many of the fair young maidens—and some not 80 young—are going to be there. The Phenix “orchestra will be on hand to discourse the music. Last evening the Sons of Veterans were entertained at the home of Com- rade and Mrs, George H. Baldwin of Knsington. The evening was spent enjoyably., During the buginess meet- ing, arrangements for the Memorial day exercises were discussed. Berlin Briefs.
