Ackerman of the Ackerman brothers, who conduct a farm on the Ledge, complained to Selectman Gibney that George Hib- bard of Worthington ridge had shot two of their valuable herd of heifers. The Ackermans occupy a farm ad- wjoining the home of Mr. Hibbard and the cattle wandered onto the latter’'s premises and proceeded to make a meal of Mr. Hibbard's corn, where- upon the owner hied himself to his . domicile, procured his trusty weapon and began a fussilade against the in- # vaders, severely wounding two ' of !¥them. Mr. Ackerman values them as being worth about $75. Mr. Ackerman says a teamster in the employ of R. O. Clark crossed his land for the purpose of getting a load of wood and upon leaving neglected. to put the bars back in their proper place, thus affording the “lowing kine” an opportunity to roam ,about the country. They wandered among the corn of Mr. Hibbard and trampled it down. He was not aware of their misdeeds until a friend ’phoned him of the affair. He went to bring them back home, when he found two badly wounded. Dr. B. D. *Radcliffe, a veterinarian of New Brit- ain. was summoned and said that one would probably have to be killed, as it - was badly hurt. Mr. Ackerman says he has a witness to the shooting. Former Kensington Man Gone, The many friends of Bert Butler, who formerly resided in this town will be grieved to learn of his recent disappearance from the summer home cof his brother-in-law, Mr. Hart, at rfield Lake, Great Barrington, Ms Mr. Butler was born in this town and lived here until a few years ago, when he moved to Meriden, where he has established rative real estate business. Aboui {4 week 4back he accepted an invitation from Mr. Hart to spend a vacation at the lake. As the Hart homestead is not completed, it is necessary to row across the lake for meals. > On Tuesday of this week Mr. Butler left about & c’clock to breakfast at a hotel, which i8 at the end of the water. That was the last time that Mr, Hart saw him. The lake is partly pnatural and partly artificial and those who have been accustomed to it use only certain channéls, for some parts are considered very dangerous. When Mr. Butler failed to return in a reasonable time, Mr. Hart made in- iries concerning him and was sur- pised to find that he had not reached e hotel. An alarm was'sent out and ree of men has been scouring the ounding woods, it being thought < possible his canoe might have tipped over and then when he reached the shore he was so exhausted he was un- able to journey.back to the camp. So far their efforts have been of no avail. Relatives fear that Mr. Butler has been drowned and have secured a diver to explore the bottom of the lake. Mr. Butler’s father-in-law, Jay T. Hart of Waterbury, has, offered a reward of $500 for the recovery of his body. s Bert's many friends in town hope that the fears will prove to be un- founded and he will appear in a few days. ‘While a citizen in this Butler was very townspeople, His parents occupied the Strong house in the Blue Hills dis place Mr. most prominent’ families hereabouts.

The police of nearby places have been asked to lookout for the missing man. the local officers feeling that he of Plainville, Newton is leged to have taken the mcney while the owner was doing chores around the place ecarly this morning. The men got cut of bed about the same time but Welch left the house first to go to work. After he had done part of the chores he re- turned to seek Newton. The man was not to be found and Welch, suspect- ing that he had appropriated his roll, hastened to his room to look fer the money. He had kept the bills in a pair of trousers, which were hanging in his room. The garment had been taken from a hook and the owner found the pockets inside out, minus the money. He hurriedly got on the trail of his erstwhile associate but soon lost track of him. The missing man was re- ported to have been headed in the di- rection of Bristol but it is believed he took to the woods, escaping his pursuer. Welch had been employed at the Benstead farm since last’ spring and the stolen money represented his sav- ings for a long time. Newton came here but ten days ago. He is a southerner and, dccording to the story he told, is not acquainted in this locality. ingly rick W New Pastor Here. Rev. J. G. Ward, who several weeks ago accepted. the pastorate of the Baptist church, is now in town. He will begin his duties here tomorrow and will occupy the pulpit at the morning service in the church. Mr. Ward was formerly located in Nor- wich, where he served as a Baptist pastor for a number of years. He finished his labors in that town on Thursday, coming here yesterday with his family. The Baptist pastorate has been va- cant since Rev. C. L. Buckingham re- signed over two years ago. The ser- vices have been conducted during the interim by Harry Pinder, a lay reader. In the evening Rev. A. B. Coats, D. D., of Hartford will attend the ser- vice and give the address of welcome to the new pastor ana his family. The morning service will be held at 10:45 and in the evening at 7 o’clock the Lord’s supper will be observed. Trumbull Help Saiisfied. According to the information gleaned by the officers of the con- cern, the employes of the Trumbull Electric company are gatisfied with the response that has been made to their demands for snorter hours and ipcreased wages and there is but little likelihood of a strike at the plant. The workmen have given the com- pany no formal notification to this ef- fect but the statements of individual employes give rise to the belief that the Trumbulls will be given an op- portunity to make good the promise made in the answer to their petition. Superintendent Gwillim’s address on the attitude of the company and busi- ness conditions seemingly made a favorable impression on the em- ployes before whom it was given yes- terday afternoon and strike talk has been greatly dissipated since. Mr. Gwillim gave the men assurance that € Systematic The Man who doges all his business through his Bank, is instantly recognized as a sys- tematic business man and one | whose chances for success | are excellent, The man who does not use | a bank is not making the most of his opportunities. 4 per cent. is allowed on de- posits in our Savings depart- ment.

The total area is the company is sincere in its promise tc adopt an hour wage standard that will conform to the new policy which the manufacturers will doubtless have to make as a result of the agitation in favor of labor. He also reminded them that the standard will be made effective from October 1, and no mat- ter when it is adopted the men will get the benefit of it from yesterday. President Trumbull said this morn- ing that surface indications warranted the opinion that there will be no trouble at the plant. He said the men apparently are satisfied that the com- pany intends to give them a square deal and they are probably content to wait until the officers have a chance to adjust the business of the factory to new conditions and to make cer- tain what changes will develop from the present agitation. He declared the company is willing to operate the piant on a short day schedule and even to pay the men higher wages, providing competing concerns have to increase their expenses in similar manner. Mr. Trumbull said the company had done all it could when it made a promise to the men Thursday and it is now up to the employes to decide | what will happen next. At the fac- . tery, the impression prevails that there will be no further action at this time,, the majority of the help being satisfied with the promise of conces- sions. Warden in Collision. Albert Garvan, who retired as war- cden of the State reformatory at Cheshire October 1, was involved in an auto accident in Plainville yester- day afternoon and today he is re- reiving the congratulations of his friends on his escape from death. Although the reformatory car, in which he was riding, was badly wrecked, the former warden was un- hurt. The accident occurred near Pine street, the auto and a trolley express car coming together at. the curve. The machine was badly wrecked and had to be towed to Cooke's garage for repairs. Neither Mr. Garvan or his chauffeur was hurt and the ex-warden con- tinued his journey by jitney. Babcock to Move. George 8. Babcock announced to- day that his term as clerk of the board of selectmen will expire on October 4 and after that date he will be lbcated in*quarters other than the Town hall Babcock has given up hope of being elected first selectman, aithough he still clings to the opinion that he will be chosen for a place on the board, and he has discharged himself from the office of clerk, a place which he has filled for the past four years. George stated today that the town reports will be ready for distribution or Monday. He claims that they should have been out some time ago and had the work been left to him the taxpayers would have had a good chance to peruse them before election day. He declares he started getting | the reports in shape immediately after the close of the fiscal year, but the “big noises butted in” and he bowed tc their “better” ’judgment Monday's Election While the indications are that there will be a big vote cast at the annual election on Monday, owing to the con- test on the license question, there wag seemingly little question in the ovfant today, the voters apparently believing that it is a foregone conclusion that the republican ticket will be elected and that the town will remain “wet The temperance people will con- tinue their fight for a “dry” town up to the last, and some of the leaders of the no-license faction hold to the Le- lief that they will win- Their opinion, however, is not shared by menm usually make a reasonable fore: of election results, political leaders le- lieving that the majority for the saloons will be froma forty to sevent five.

Placards pleading for Plainville have been posted in con- spicuous places around town and a great deal of literature unfavorable to John Barleycorn and his allies has been distributed, M. A. Norton, chairman of the democratic town committee, expressed the opinion that W. C. Hart, candidate for first selectman, will run ahead of his ticket, getting probably more ihan seventy-five votes ahead of any other democratic nominee- He did not seem confident, however, that he will be successful in his efforts to get the of- fice, The republicans claim that Select- man Johnson will be re-elected by a substantial plurality and that all the other G- O. P, nominees will win eas- ily. Regarding the .candidacy of George S. Babcock, who is running indepen- dently, the general opinion seemed to be today that there is no occasicn for worry on the part of either Hart or Johnson owing to. the entry of the clerk in the fleld. The politicians held to the opinfon that Babcock will get from ten to twenty-five votes. The candidate, himself, however, ex- pressed the belief that he will get NAVY SERGE SUIT A BELT A LA MILITAIRE IH PARIS M This smart suit is built on soldierly lines, as a boxy coat and . silk trimming . attest.
