He said that e sheriff ordered him to take Wren o the lockup, as the accused was ing a muisance of himself. The ness said he was walking along ¥ soloist [ church, Rev. | offi- | Ber- | Cowles | - them. Sun- | and | with Wren, when suddenly the latter tripped him. Bradley then. hand- cuffed Wren. The prisoner testified that he was working at the fair and experienced difficulty in getting his ticket exchanged for a button. He was trying to convince the doorman to admit him, when arrested. He admitted trying to get away. The charge of drunkenness was dismissed ! and Wren was fined $10 and costs for resistance. Boy Askaulted. The second case was that of Daniel Cronin of New Britain, who was charged with assaulting John Maher 15, also of New Britain. Harry Mount a special officer at the Fair Grounds, made the arrest. He said that he was stationed near the entrance, when he saw Cronin run across the street and catch'Maher, who was getting off the trolley car. Cronin proceeded to “mop the street with Maher,” ac- cording to the officer. Maher testified that he was getting off the car when Cronin grabbed him and shook him up, saying: “I ought ito cut you in two, and leave you.” | Bdwin Hubbard and Lloyd Carter nlso testified to seeing the affair, | which they characterized as most brutal. Cronin took the stand and sald that Maher is one of a crowd of “rough necks,” who have been pes- tering him for some time. He | claimed Maher called him' a vile ,name. He disclaimed trying to hurt the boy, merely wishing to “chastise” him. Prosecutor Gibney, in summing up said that Cronin is a hard working man and asked the court for leniency. Judge Griswold warned Cronin about ! taking the law in his own hands and assessed a fine of 37 and costs. Steals Produce. Mrs. Charles Hospian, her daughter, | Mrs, Harry Badoovian and her son-in- | law, Harry, were charged with the I theft of produce, valued at $3, from i the Rerlin Agricultural society.

She sent her aughter after it and the latter | thought that the celery belonged to Prosecutor Gibney said that lali three were carrying baskets all evening and that he saw the woman Ip..:\ different things to her daughter and son-in-law. He said the goods’ | intrinsic value was small but he | thought an example should be made of them. When arrested the woman | remarked that as she was a property owner in New Britain she could not be | taken into custody. Judge Griswold | found all three guilty and levied a | fine of $7 ana costs in each case. The final case was tkat of FErward | Heath, charged with theft of two | pieces of canvas.

Westwood park voters who are anx- fous to have the driveways in that district converted into highways have insisted on a special town meeting to consjder their needs, rejecting Se- lectman Johnson's proposal to take up the matter at the regular session As a re- quest the board of selectmen today issued a call for a session to be held in the Town hall cn Monday, Sedtem- ber 27th. The sclectmen were required by law to call the meeting, a petition bearing the sigr.yires of over twenty legal voters, huving been presented to them, Rural free delivery service was re- cently extended to Westwood park but it is understood that the postal authorities will not permit the car- rier to continue his trip to that sec- tion unless suitable highways are pro- vided. The town built a sinzle road in the district last Spri but there are a number of brancih driveways that the residents believe required at- tention. In their netition they specify Westwood avenu~, Dewey avenue, Hobson avenue, Miles street, White Oak avenue and the short streets run- ning between Westwood and White Oak avenues. The town expended considerable money for a new highv#iy in the West- waod park section a few months ago and the efforts of the residents to make another raid on the treasury will undoubtedly meet with opposi- tion. The prospects for favorable ac- tion on the petition, however, are ad- mittedly more favorable at a special session than at the regular town meet- ing as the attendance will be smaller, making it possible for the Westwood delegation to get control, unless the opposition makes an effort to bring out the voters to defeat the project. Mother Goose Fair. The Woman’s club held a special meeting yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Charles Clark and made final plans for the Mother Goase fair which is to be held in the Town Hall the last week in October. The af- fair is to be given for the benefit of the library fund, which was started and steadily increased through the of- forts of the members of the o ization. The club now has a stantial amount on hand and it i pected that it will be materially raised by the novel entertainment for which the ladies have been making plans for months. The members of the club wil ap- pear at the fair in costume to repre- sent some Mother Goose character. The bazaar will take on the character of the nursery rhyme and there will be many unique features. During the summer the ladies have béen busy making a supply of aprons, domestic articles and fancy work for the fair and the array to be on sale will surpass that of last year. Donations of canned and pickled goads will be appreciated by the club. Mrs. J. H. Trumbull will be grateful for contributions of this character: Autos In Collision. “I don’t care to talk about it.

The car was driven through the short cut in Henry Trumbull's vard and as it came onto Farmington avenue, the driver was unable to turn sharp enough to get on the right side of the road and avoid Mr. Lin- skey’s Knox, which was proceeding towards Plainville. © The machines came together with considerable force. A forward wheel was removed from each car, the lights and hoods were smashed and the bodies were other- wise damaged. 'The injured Italian was taken ta the office of Dr. J. C.
