Bei’fin News IND BUTLER'S BODY N GARFIELD LAKE Rébovered by Expert Saturday *Afternoon After Long Search LIFTLE INTERESTIN ELECTION Fépiblicans Conceded Easy Victory— Also Little Opposition to License— Mén's Lyceum Annual—Baraca Cliss Installation. A Xews was received in town this mMoffiing that the body of Bert Butler, & former Berlin boy, was found Satur- day afternoon in Garfield lake, Great Barfington, Mass., after a search h had lasted since last Tuesday, _he was reported missing. Little ic known of the details of the case save that Butler.’s body was re- covered by an expert, who was secured to drag the lake after other means had failed. Mr. Butler was spending Tiis_vacation at the summer home of his'brother-in-law, Mr. Hart, in Great Barrington and Tuesday morning left the house to row to the other end of the lake, where he planned to break- fast.at a hotel. t was the last seen of him alive. ¥ absence finally alarmed his brother-in-law, who instituted a gearch. This resulted in the discovery of his beat and one oar. The bottom of, the lake is eoversd with a heavy growth of eel grass and it is thought that he may have:become- entangled fn the grass when his boat capsized and was unable to extricate himself. He was a rugged young man, capable of handling a boat and also a good gwimmrer and under ordinary con- ditions the capsizing of his boat ¢hou'd have meant nething worse than a ducking. Tast week 'when. . the . efforts of tearchers to recover the body proved unsuccessful, the theory was advanced that he might have reached the shore in a dzzed ‘condition and perhaps wandered off -into the woods. His father-in-law, J. T. Hart of Water- bury, offcred $500 as a reward for tHe recovery of the body. Mr. But- ler was engaged in the real cstate hvsiness in Meriden and it is under- stcod developed a successful business He was a native of Berlin and lived in the Strong homestead ir the Hills scction for many vears His only relatives in this place are the J. . Bauer family. The funeral will take place tomor- tayv afternoon from the homestead on North Colony street, Meriden, at 2:30 o’clock. Hibbert Not the Man. Misinformation, supplied the Herald | Sgturday, was responsible for the statement’ that George Hibbert was “responsible for the shooting of two heifers owned by Carl B. Ackerman. This was incorrect as Mr. Hibbert was working on Judge Griswold's farm at tzflme of the shooting. The heifers 11 said to have been shot by another party although the affair was not as terious as was first reported. When . Hibbert picked up his paper to | still closed through the news after returning from | Berlin and automobiles Rlue § | | | | werk he was greatly surprised to | learn that he had been accused of the | shooting. Election Day Quiet. Today is town election day in Ber- lin and although perfect weather pre- | vails and the opportunity to get out the vote was never finer it is proving | one of the quietest days in years. No ! contests wortay the name exist and| to that fact is ascribed a manifest lack of interest. The republican tick- et with W. H. Gibney as candidate for first selectman will come through to an easy victory and the democrats | are content in the knowledge that | they will get the minority offices. While the license question is an is- sue it appears to be no more than: the semblance of a contest and the; license forces are slated to ceme through with colors flying. The no- license workers on the other hand ap- | parently conceded the fight from the | start and are making ho notable_ effort | to swing Berlin into the dry column | this year. Two other questions are being voted upon. These are the “finance commission” and the vote on the proposed constitutional amendment allowing mileage to mem- bers of the general assembly. Colonel Charles M. Jarvis is moderator in District No. 1, Worthington; Arthur L. Moffit District No. 2, Kensington, and Walter Penfield in District No. 3, East Berlin. This morning’s vote was very light and it was predicted that! the vote would be one of the slimest in years. The polls opened at 6 o'clock and closed at 4 o’clock this afternoon. Town Report Out. The annual report of the town offi- cers for the year ending September 28 1915, was issued today and copies were distributed to the voters at the several polling places. The report covers forty-three pages and includes the selectman’s account, the treas- urer’s report, the report of the school committee and school treas- urer and the report of Dr. George P. Dunham, the town health officer. Men’s Lyceum Annual. Tonight at the Kensington Congre- gational church, the annual meecting of the Men's Lyceum will be held. This live organization begins its fif- teenth year of activity and is plan- ning for another busy season. The Lyceum debating team has won an enviable reputation in this and sur- rounding towns for its ability to dis- pose of all comers and is out for new fields to conquer. At tonight's rheet- ing, which takes place in the church parlors at 7:30 o'clock, officers will | be elected and committees appointed. | Baraca Class Installation, Public installation of the recently | elected officers of the Baraca class of the Kensington Methodist church will | be held at 8 o'clock tonight. | the first time in the history of the class that the installation has been public. Rev. Henry W. Maier pastor of the First Church of Christ, New Britain, dcliver the address of the evening. Raliy Day Yesterday. Yesterday was Rally Day Kensington Congregational church. While the day was anything but propitious weatherwise, the attend- ance was large and the exercises were followed with much interest. Auto Trucks Stranded. * Two big auto trucks loaded with furniture and bound from Boston to New York were stranded over Sun- day in Beckley: Owing to the repair work on the bridge spanning the This is | at the Mattabessett river, the “turnpike” is that section of | and other | | People | party at her | presented a silver coin purse to vehicles detour through Beckley. The | auto trucks followed this route but stalled in attempting to climb the heavy grade south of Beckley station. They were stalled from Saturday night until last night, This mishap has again brought at- tention to the repair job on the bridge. It was announced that the turnpike would be closed 25 days or during the period of repairs. The contract was let July 12 and the con- tractor is still at it. Quicksand was encountered in drivirig for a’founda- | tion ana piles were driven down eigh- teen feet before a solid foundation was reached. Much ecriticism is heard about town concerning the bridge job and the state highway de- partment is coming in for its share. who have watched the job claim that out of date methods are being followed in the work and that unless something is done soon to remeay conditions an investigation will be in order. “Dynamite” Jones Busy. E. R- Jones, known locally as the “Dynamite King,” has taken a con- tract to blow out an 1,100 foot ditch on a big farm in Rockfalls below Middletown. Mr. Jones did some ex- hibition work at Berlin Fair, blowing out a two foot trench across the fair grounds at one charge. Many people were interested in this work and his contract to ditch the farm in Rock- falls is a direct result of his work at the fair. ‘Wedding Bells to Ring. Wedding bells-will ring merrily in Kensington this month. Three wed- dings are announced to occur at St. Paul's church in Kensington shortly. The happy yoxlng people are Edward J. Moore ahd ' fss Margaret V. Woods who will be mafried at 7 Tuesday, October 12; Brennan and Miss Margaret F. Fish- er, who will wed at 9 o’clock, Wed- nesday morning, October 20, and William J. Fagan and Miss Emma Stiquel, who are to pe married Mon- day morning, October 11, at 10 o'clock. Invitation to Local Chapter.

M Lillian Miner of Worthington Ridge enjoyed a surprise birthday home Saturday after- noon and evening. She was visited by a party numbering-twelve, who her in honor of the event. tefreshments were enjoyed. James Buckley, brakeman on the Berlin branch, who was seriously in- jured in an accident in New RBritain during the summer, is rapidly recov- ering from the effects of his injuries and hopes to resume his work within a short time. Mrs. J. Gilligan of Farmington road is recovering from her recent illness. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the ; m Signature of Bernard P., Barleycorn’s Friends and Enemies | BIG ISSUE TODAY Show Much Activity CONFIDENT? SURE, SAY ALL Liquor Dealers Predict Victory by Over 30—Democrats Work Hard for Hart—Heavy Vote Polled Dur- | ing Farly Hours. Predicting a record breaking vote, the leaders of both the republican and democratic parties and the men at the head of movements both for and against license as well, this morning | expressed confidence in the result of today’s election. The prophets based their claims on a canvass which was | clared that a big vote ' to their satisfaction that their | haa i the and all would completed vesterday prove claims iwcen substantiated, even before ballots had been counted. That nene of the factions intended to be caught unaware was made ap- | parent by the manner in which they | hustled to get out the vote. Each | side had a squadron of automobiles | | ( ! voters from the outlying districts. | wets” | and the buzz wagons were at the dis- posal of the voters all day. The cars | were pressed into service at 6 o’clock, when the polls opened, and they were moving rapidly all day bringing A careful check was kept on the names of the electors as they went into the hooths to cast their ballots and it was the intention to visit cvery the hope of getting him to the town building. A number of voters, who living here at this time, came home at the invitation of some one of the centending factions to self at the polls. Even the Plainville inmates of the Town home in New Britain were called on and brought here in machines that they might ex- ercise their rights of suffrage. The glad hand was extended to everyone who had the right to vote and class distinction disappeared for the day the politicians and the “wet” and ‘“dry” workers having a smile and a cordial greeting for each man having a say in the day's de- cision. First Selectman Johnson, the re- publican candidate for the office he now holds, was not in sight during the early hours. He left his fate in the hands of the town committee, the rcembers of which did considerable work under the leadership of the chairman, Edwin H. Hills. William C. Hart, his democratic opponent, was busy during the day. He claimed to be greatly encouraged over the results of his canvass and he was confident that he would win. The Independence party, George 8. Babcock leader, member and only candidate, made its rounds as usual. = George predicted that he would get a good vote, claims of other party leaders to the effect that the support he would receive would be negligible notwithstanding. The license issue made a big fight of the day and was largely responsible for the activity at the polls. The liquor dealers did not seem to be greatly worried. They claimed every- thing indicated a victory for the by a majority of over fifty. The vote on the constitutional amendment during the morning was very light, few seeming to take any interest in its fate. Albert H. Dresser senrved as modera- tor and the decision as to the accept- ance or rejection of ballots over which there is any question will rest with him when the count is made this cvening. The voting for the first hour was a record breaker, 149 citizens hav- ing declared themselves before 7 o'clock. During the balance of the morning conditions were normal but the noon hour rush was remarkably heavy. At 1 o'clock it was pre- dicted that a large percentage of the registered voters would cast a bal- lot before closing time. Hurt By Fall From Horse. His nose broken and his body.pain- fully bruised, Joseph Brown is today confined to his home in Hartford as the result of a fall from a horse which he was riding through Plain- ville yesterday. With a friend Brown was out for a canter yesterday. On the state highway in the eastern sec- tion of the town the young men were said to be racing. At a point near the residence of Henry Trumbull, Brown’s horse stumbled and fell throwing the rider from the saddle. The voung man was rendered uncon- scious by the fall. and did not re- cover his senses for nearly an hour. He was attended by Dr. J. C. Tanner and was subsequently re- moved to his home in Hartford. Hen- ry Trumbull placed his auto at the disposal of the injured man. Near-Cop In Quarrel. Carl W. Anderson, one of the re- publican nominees for constable, felt so confident of being eletced Satur- day that he bought a pair of twisters and other paraphernalia used by a policeman He went around town proudly exhibiting his purchases and boasting regarding his skill in the handling of prisoners. In the Hotel Clarendon he gave an exhibition of his cleverness, . his . actions eventually causing him to get into an argument with Frederick Tappia. a young Italian, who was in the place at the time. The argument waxed hot and citizen in are not de- | in | declare him- | | made a | the =i friendlY prother-officer-to-be was perhaps SENTINEL DUTY ON TOP OF THE ALPS IS COLD BUSINESS Winter sets in carly in the Alps, and the Austrian and Italian armies fighting for control of the mountains at the border are preparing for cam- paigning No doubt we shall in low temperature. winter sets in hear of men like the one in the pic when i ture frozen to death at their posts of duty.

Constable David made an ineffectual attempt to catch the flee- ing Italian but the young man drop- ped to his hands and knees as the officer was ready to corral him and as a result the policeman tumbled over his prostrate form. Lappia quick recovery and disap- peared in the darkness a few minutes later. When the matter was explained to policemen by witnesses of the it is said they decided that their as No s seen dash- with Anderson, row, much at fault as his opponent. arrests were made. Trumbull Help At Work. The plant of the Trumbull Electric Manufacturing company was operat- ing as usual today and all hands were at work. At the factory it was re- ported that the men, with few excep- tione, were satisfied with the offer made by the company and the mat- ter of calling a strike would be held in abevance, at least until ployvers have an opportunity to prove their sincerity. The impression prevailed today that there will be a settlement of the differences and “a strike will be un- necossary. i % Throughout the state the answer made by the company to the demands of the employes is considered very fair and the Trumbulls have strength- ened their position with the. laboring class by the attitude they have as- sumed towards the agitation for more pay and shorter hours for the work- men. New Pastors Preaches. Rev. J. W. Ward took up his work as pastor of the Baptist church yes- terday, delivering the sermon at the morning service before a large con- gregation = Mr. Ward made a most favorable impression and was given a cordial welcome by his parishioners. In the evening Rev. A. B. Coats, D. D. of Hartford, gave an address in which he welcomed the new pastor and his family on behalf of the mem- bers of the church. Brief Items. Town Clerk R. C.
