NOT SURVIVE FAL Elderly Berlinite Drops Twelve Feet From Barn Scaffolding INJURIES MAY BE FATAL Much Comment Concerning High School Tuition Bill—Congregational ! Association to Convene in Kensing- Won—Sons of Veterans hold Meeting As a result of a fall from a twelve- foot scaffold, Walter Brown, one of Berlin’s best known elderly citizens, today lies at death’s door. Mr. Brown, assisted by Charles Miller, was piling away cornstalks in the barn onyhis farm on the Lower Lane yes- terday afternoon. The team had Just been driven into the stable about three o'clock and Mr. Brown was clearing the scaffold, preparatory to storing the stalks. Unaware that he was so close to the edge of the shelf, he lost his balance and fell to the floor of the building and struck on. his head. He was immediately Temoved to the house, which is occu- pied by George Kron and family and Dr. R. M. Griswold was summoned. ‘While awaiting the doctor's ar- rival, everything possible was done for the unfortunate man. Since the accident Mr. Brown has been uncon- 8clous except for a few brief minutes and it is thought the fall will prove fatil. He has had seventeen con- vulsions between the time of the ac- cident and the morning. On ac- count of the seriousness of the injury, it was deemead Inadvisable to remove him to his heme, so he still lies in the Kron hom Because of his un- conscious state, it was Impossible to pscertain the extent of his injurics. Mhch svmpathy wus expressed about town for the unfortunate man. for it feared that he would not sur- wvive ¢n account of his age. Mr. Brown is about 70 years old. That Tuition BIll.

Many of St. Paul’s parishioners at- tended the social and whist given by the Sacred Heart parish in East Berlin last night. The K hall was crowded and everyone reports a very enjoyable evening. The only feature to mar the pleasure of the Kensing- tonites, was the fact that their best whist players failed to capture any prizes when stacked against the stars of the surrounding places. How- ever, they feel they will have better lock next time. Mrs. Mary of Westfield captured the ladies, first prize and Mrs, Adam Kriuth of Tast Berlin the second. men’s first prize was awarded to Joseph Donnelly of New Britain and the second to Vi4ayr Belden of East Berlin.

There is trouble almost con- tinually between the officers and the court officials over the manner which cases are handled and the ar- rangement is anything but satisfac- tery. When a justice does not dis- pese of a case in a manner pleasing to the constable making the arrest, the policeman will seek another jus- tice when he makes his next arrest. At least that has heen done so often that it is recognized as the rule and court sessions seem to be regarded as farcical meetings. A trav - on jus- tice is the way the disposition of cases has bheen termed frequently, ‘With the appointment of a judee who would not be dependent on the votes of the citizens for his position, anrd ,a prosecutor serving under similar conditions, it s bhelioved that there would be Improved court con ditions and a more satisfactory inter |'pretation of the law Windsor | While the republicans thems have said nothing about it, democr £eem to believe that the plan ha rolitical aspect that does not satisf: They declare that even at this carl date the G.

In other quarters of course the sacrifices they have made to attend to the duties of the office have been recognized and due credit given. They have given up much of their time to the duties of their re- spective offices and few suspect that in accepting the places they had any mctive except that which concerns the town’s good.
