The Hartford Burial Case company, | which has been conducting a large casket factory on Farmington road, has ceased operations and has. closed _ the doors of its building. The building | ‘has been placed on sale as well as! some of the machinery in the factory. Two hundred caskets which have been completed will be shipped to the Hart- ford headquarters on- Allyn street | where they will be refinished. The fifteen employes at the factory have left, most of them to follow the same line of wark with the Boston Burial Case company of West Somerville, “Mass. The Hartford Burial Case company has conducted a branch in Kensington for four years. Although the concern occupied large quarters on Farming- ton road, still they employed a limited number of men.. As only experienced helpers received work at the factory i very few local men ever obtained positions at the case company. Most *uf* its employees commuted daily from Hartford and have been in the employ qf the concern for years. When it learned that the company was to re- move from this town very little re- gret was expressed as the concensus of opinion was that this town never derived any benefit from the thriving concern. When asked this morning the re: “Yor closing the factory a member of the concern, stated that it was very inconvenient for them to have their branch in Kensington. The crude woad was shaped at the local factory and made into caskets which were then shipped to Hartford where the finishing touches were applied. This will hereafter be done in Har rd, Mr. Engel said and a new pro- cess will be used to make the caskets whereby less machinery will be neces- sary. The parts of machinery that are needed will be conveyved to Hart- n ford and the rest will be placed on the ! market. | providing he could secure passage fori ! to leave them with relatives while ho,‘ | in danger. i to Louis Engel, | constructed at West Somerville, Mass. Patriotic Devotion Wins. After a battle of several weeks with his conscience trying to decide whether he should sacrifice himself | on the altar of patriotic duty or par- cntal devotion, Tony Sarrenceno o Farmington road, Kensington, has de- | cided in favor of the former. Tony is an Italian reservist and besides this is the proud father of three children. When Italy entered the war Tony as well as other reservists in this country received orders to report for duty. During the early part of August, Tony decided to respond to the call his family to Italy, where he intends | shouldered a musket. voungest child became critically ill | and although he was desirous of serv-| ing his country, he felt that it would have been wrong to leave his home and fireside while his child's life was Then h But now the child has recovered from her sickness and a visit was paid to the consul in New Haven by Tony to seck advice. He made arrange- ments with the consul whereby he is leave for his native land on Sep- tember 11, In the meantime it is said his friends have been soliciting among the local Italian colony and sufficient | funds have been raised to pay the | passage of his family to Italy. With a light heart Tony now wends his way to work each day expectantiy awaiting the day when he is to sail. | lic reads the papers daily and each Italian victory is celebrated with ar- dent enthusiasm at his place of resi- dence. His devoted patriotism to his | native land has also enthuscd his| neighbors and it is rumored that they | are planning to give him and his family a send-off, thc like of which has never been witnessed here. Tony is emplo) at the New Eritatn freight depot. He is said to be an industrious worker and is well spoken of at his place of employment.

Roberts of Missouri Val- Iowa, has been the guest of James | Murphy this weck and with Mr. Murphy was a visitor in West Haven Tuesday. There he was interviewed Repo who tells of the meeting as follows: | George W. Roberts of Missouri Val- ley, Towa, who is somewhat of a fizht | promoter when he wants to be, is vis- iting Jim Murphy, the popular Plain- ville baseball magnate that was. Yes. tetday, with the Murphys, Mr. Roberts visited friends in West Haven, and someone must have told him what a fizzle Jim Clancy made out of the hox- ing events at the Arena in New Ha- ven the week before, for he compared it with the fizhts he used to put on in Towa. “Them were the day when Wild Bill Fleming used to run out west occasionally, and Mr. Roberts describes them as follows: “From what I heard of the Arena events, they were nothing like the | boxing shows we have at Missouri | Valley. 1 promoted some shows there myself. The seats for our shows sell for $5 and $10 each, and there are a few pikers who get §3 seats. That | is the lowest, the rock bottom price for a boxing show in Missouri Valley. We had Wiid Bill Fleming of Old- town. Me., out there some time ago and I understand he is well known in | New Haven. “Missouri Valley has a population of about 14,000, but the people in the | surrounding territory make up a pop- ulation of about 50,000. They come in from all directions when there is a boxing show, some starting a few days ahead of the date set so as to he sure to be on time for the opening bout. | There is plenty of money out there and all the newspapers are five cents | each. You seec about as many auto- mobiles as you do here. There is everything out there except democrats 1t is hard to find a democrat or negro in the town. “I was over to Plainville to visit Mr. Murphy and I think that town has cornered a good share of the | colored population.
