Decision was: reserved -until Tues- day by Judgé Geéorgé G. Griswold in thé summary proceedings of Carl Lud- wig Carlson against William J. Sei- bert’ for possession of property on Worthington ridge heard by him this morning in the Town Court. The : procéedings were long drawn out, the entite forenoon being devoted to hear- ‘ing testimony, Attorney Emil J. Danberg -appeared for .the plaintiff snd Judge F. B. Hungerferd, who ap- péared for-the defénddnt, helped to liven things up considerably by many verbal tilts over certain legal techni- calities. Soon after the proceedings menced Attorney Hungérford asked for a dismissal of the case on the ground that sufficient notice to quit the premises had not been given to the lessee. .He objected ‘o the word- Ing of the notice as was given to his client. In.a summary action the law _ tates that a duplicate copy of the no- tice to vacate the premises must be rerved the occupant by #n indifferent person. The copy of the natice sent to Mr. Seibert was not a duplicate but was worded as true and attested, while the signatures on the two were different, one being typewritten and the other signed in-ink. Jhdge Hun. gerford again claimed tha the notice had not been served by an indifferent person, but by Attorney Da.nbeu! brather, Arthur Danberg. Judge Griswold overruled the ob- jection, saying that the phraesology of the notice was not of any material difference as long as theé Intention of the law was carried out. Carlson, the owner of the property, was the first witness. He told of pur- chasing the property fror. Mrs. Lena Hulten, of West Rocky *iil”on May ‘When he attemptéd (o move his ‘family into his newly purchased home, he said, Seibert objected. saying he held .a year’s leass on the property. Carlson said he knew of n6 such egreement, saying that hé understood Seibert to pay reat by the month. , Miss Huiten, the next witness, told ot selling the praperty, which contains a barn, a cottage and a half an acre of 1and on Worthington ridge, to Carlson, She said that she made no 3 With Seibért to lease him ty for a yéar. She dis- ' claimed that she had told Siébert that she intendéd to . .sell the property ©within a year. !‘lhfi. the a.xt Wwtness, told of renting the farm from Mrs. | Hultén. He said that at the time that | he rénted the place the owner had as- 7 that com- sell it. Therefore, he had planted the entire farm* with vegetables - which would not mature until the fall. If he Wwag to be ejected’from the prop- erty his labor would 'go to naught.and weuld be a considerable financial ‘loss te him. Dogs Kill Chickens. Four chickens were killed and a number of other choice fowl .were severely bitten yesterday afternoon when dogs made a raid on Lewis Bitt- ner's chicken farm in Beckley Quar- ter. Bittner's. farmyard was covered with feathiers from the fowl which had been torn to shreds by the canines. The owner of the chickens complained to Selectman Willlam H. Gibney, who is investigating. It is probable that the town wil have to séttle with Bitt- ner for the loss, the money coming out cf.thé dog money collected from taxes. To Receive Bids on Bridge. Bids were received at 2 o’clock this afternoon at the highway department in Hartford for the new bridge which | is to bé built on the Turnpike road near the railroad crossing of the Mid- dletown: line. The contract calis for having the structure. completed in twenty-fivé -working days after being signed. If thé contractor fails to live up to tefms by mot having the bridge completéd in the required time he -will have to forfeit $10 for each day over. The bridge is to be constructed of the strongest material ‘obtainable in otrdér to meet the heavy traffic. Work will commence immediately after the centract is signed as the bridge today is a dangeérous spot. A watchman'is stationed there day and night to warn pedestrians of its condition. The présent bridgé is but fourteen teet in width and numerous collisions htve taken place at this point because of the inability of two automobiles to pass over it at-once. The new struc- ture is to be tén feet wider. It is es< timated that the new bridge will cost about $8,000, the state paying half of the amount while the other half will come from the coffers of the town. Engagement Announced.

According to .the report of ¥. 8. Neal and A. H. Condell, appraisers on the estate of Frank B. Newton, the was valued at $33,295.21. The inventory has been filed with the probate . court, Judge George R. Byington accepting it today. By, the terms of Mr. Newton’s will, his widow comes into possession of the estate and is named to serve as executrix. While he had came into consider- able property by inheritance from the estate of his father, Mr. Newton ac- quired money from busines ventures. He successfully conducted a grain and livery business for a number of years. He was generous to a fault and while he had large property interests there wete times when his bank account was low on account of a drain resulting from his charities. The inventory of Mr. Newton's es- tate shows that he was among the New Englanders to succumb . to the lure of the get-rich-quick gold mines and probably as the result of the glib tongue of a promoter he secured pos- session of mining stock certificates that are thought to be worthless. His property is listed in the ap- (praisers’ report as follows: Equity in land and resident on Maple and Whiting streets ... Equity in brick stable, other buildings and, land on ‘Whiting street ...

Many of the vetérans are planning to attend and there will also be representatives from the churches in Plainville and vicinity. Transact Little Business. Except for accepting the minutes of a previous session and discussing informaly some suggestions made by the public utilities committee, the di-~ rectors of the Business and Improve- ment assoclation at their July meet- ing. last evening transacted little bus. Iness. President F. T. Wheeler was among the absentees. The members spent but a short time exchanging ideas on divers subjects but took no definite action on any of the propo- sitions suggested. At the next meeting it is expected a committee will be appointed to make the necessary arrangements for the annual outing of the association which will probaly be held during the latter part of August. Last year the outing took the form of a sheep bar- becue at Lake ompounce and it is iikely. that a similar affair will be held this summer. Not Lucrative Place.

There were a number of convictions for rear light and other auto low viola- tions in Justice Condell's court during the past month and a record of each had to be sent to the capitol. In practically all the cases, Jus- tice Condell remitted the fees to which he was entitled, Grand Juror | Gwillim doing likewise, and as a re- sult they served without compensa- tion. In addition to disposing of the cases Justice Condell had to put in consider- able time cu his report to the state The Hartford Sitk Store —~ oy 0 ‘We are exclusive selling _agents for Hartford for the “American Lady” and *“Mi Store Closed All Day Mond-y to observe lndepel\d ence Day.” I inclusive.
