Selectman W. H. Gibney gat on the trail of a horse thief this morning, when he was notified by John A. Hart, proprietor of the Kilby House, «~ that he was stabling a big black mare which appeared to be owner- less. Mr. Hart informed the select- man that last Friday afternoon stranger, whom he describes as short, dark complexioned and of heavy build, drove into the yard at the Kilby house and requested the pro- prietor to take care of his outfit until Saturday morning. Mr. Hart suspecting nothing, complied with the » request, but this morning when no owner had appeared, after waliting three days, decided to inform Select- man Gibney. Mr. Gibney made some preliminary inquiries and then called the Hartford Jolice in consultation. In a short time he received the information that the horse belonged to Meyer Lavine ~ of Wallingford. The latter bought five horses in Springfield last Friday and placed them in charge of the stranger with orders to deliver at his stable in Wallingford. The man left Springfield ostensibly for Wallingford. He had the black mare hitched to a Concord buggy and the other four horses in tow. Arriving in Newington, however, the hostler decided that horses were needed for agricultural work and on opportunity offering he sold the four to some farmers. The mare, as told, was brought to Kensington and put in the stable at the Kilby House. Selectman Gibney, once on the trail, was not long locating the real owner, who promised to come to Berlin this ™ afternoan a B i The rumor that among the Berlin br imminent seems ratural death. ancther strike workers was to have died a So far as the laborers How’s This?

Although officers or the concern were not certain this morning to how many hands will be employed at the start they estimated that there will be about seventy-five peop! working in the different depamtments Monday. Work of installing the and other equipment has been in progress for several weeks and a number of the lathes and presses are now in position ready to be operated. The preliminaries have been attended to under the direction of A. J. Brault, the company’s construction superin- tendent. He is at present super ng the work in the factory but after Monday he expects to give way to Hugh Rockwell, president of the company, who has been in charge of the Hartford branch. The tool and automatic rooms are now running and over twenty hands are employed in making ball bearings, which is to be the concern’s chief product. The equipment of the plant !'is now sufficient to permit of a fair production daily and within a short time it is expected that the output will be materially increased. Plans have been made for other buildings to be erected on the com- pany’s property but one of the offi- cials said today that definite action as to when the construction work on the additions is to be started has not been taken. The Rockwell-Drake machinery facturers of ball-bearings and similar products, have more orders on their books than they can attend to under the existing conditions. They hope to gradually increase the size of their local plant and if business comes up to their expectations a large part of the property purchased for them by A. F. Rockwerl, head of the Marlin Arms and Bristol Brass com- panies, will be covered with buildings before a great while.. Many of the employes of the Hart- ford factory are living in the capital city and it is likely that they will re- main there for the present, commut- ing daily, because of the lack of available tenements in Plainville. Eventually dwellings will undoubted- ly be supplied and the population of the town is bound to achieve a very healthy growth during the next few years. Twenty-eight Take Degrees. With nearly three hundred mem- bers and visiting guests present, Court General Lawton, F- of A., last evening fittingly celebrated the doubling of membership, using both the Town and Grange halls for the exercises attending the obser- vance. It was one of the biggest af- fairs ever held under the auspices of a Plainville fraternal order and it will be recorded in the history of the local court as the most memorable event in its career: The result of the weeks of work | required for the arrangements was | made apparent and there were many expressions of surprise and praise from the visitors on the excellent man- ner in which the plans had been pre- pared. The celebration marked the first public appearance of the Foresters’ national degree champions, the team of Court Schiller of Meriden, since its return from California, where it was awarded the first prize for gen- eral excellence, and there were repre- sentatives of various courts through- out the state in addition to officers of high rank to take part in the cere- monies. Plainville achieved the dis- tinction of being the first court in the state to double its membership in the past year, and the degree team came here to recognize the feat, In the Town hall, before a large assemblage, the team conferred the degree on twenty-eight candidates, subsequently putting on the drill which won the prize at the ifornia convention. The drill was admittedly the best thing of its kind the Plain- ville Foresters and their guests had ever witnessed, and they were loud in their praise of the efficiency of the Meriden team. After the drill, adjournment was taken to the Town hall where a group of young ladies had laid nearly 0.

Osborne as district deputy grand master for the Odd Fellows and Miss Arta Gilbert to serve in a similar capacity for the Rebekahs. The selections were made by the new grand master of the 0Odd | Fellows of Connecticut, F. Henry Mon- roe of New Haven. The new appointees are to super the lodges of the fifteenth district during the coming year. They will name their own staffs and will have charge of the installation of officers of the branches in this section. Both Mr. Osborne and Mis have been hard workers for their respective lodges for a long time and their appointments to the office of dis- trict deputy are well deserved. New Street Maps Filed. Engineer Joseph N. McKernan has placed on file in the town clerks of- | fice maps showing proposed changes in the street lines on Broad, North Washington and Bohemia streets and | Forestville avenue. The maps were | prepared at the direction of the se- | lectmen, who in a few days will issue | a call for hearings concerning their | acceptance. The lines on the streets in question | have been so irregular that surveys | had td be made almost every time the | crection of a new building was con- templated, and to have the boundaries | permaneritly established, the select- men decided to have complete maps | made. any changes are suggested in the maps and some opposition to their ac- ceptance is bound to develop as a number of the taxpayers will have to surrender to the town strips of land which they have enclosed in their | fences and seemingly claim to own. The selectmen want the full width of the streets as called for under the original boundaries included in the Gilbert highway layouts, and they propose to | all the should the taking land which the surveys show be given up for that purpos It is not the intention to make as- sessments or give damages either Mn taking the land. The selectmen claim that they are simply re-establishing street lines and if property rs have enclosed more within their ences than belongs to them they will have to surrender it. In one case it will be necessary to move back a building which at present onto the street, according to the new maps. After the necessary are attended to, the listen to the property re-establish lines, prelimin: selectmen owners will af- fected, subsequently taking action re- | garding the accceptance of the maps.
