HAVING AN AUTOMOBILE DELIVERY FOR PROMPTLY RECEIVING ATERY H Beriin News HOW ABOUT THAT JEACH SWAMP ROAD?) Money Has Been Approprlated But Repairs Have Not Been Made MANY GITIZENS ARE PEEVED il t\ And Rumor Has It That the Matter Will Be Discussed Thoroughly At TPomorrow Night's Town Meeting— MeMahon's Cows At It Again. The annual adjourned town meet- Ing will be held in Town hall tomorrow evening and from remarks heard dbout town this morning, there is go- g to be something stirring. At the last meeting, it was voted to have Max Collector Charles F. Lewis ob- ‘tain the books of former collectors and have them audited. This has been done by the auditors, Bryan Atwater and George Sullivan. A report will be presented and the meeting will act upon it. But the real fireworks, if there is *any, will be the matter of the con- dition of the Beech Swamp road from Upson’s corner to the New Britain line. According to automobilists and others not so fortunate, this piece of road is one of the worst, if not the worst in the state. Great ruts appear every few feet and the roller coaster, g0 much in vogue at shore resorts, have nothing on this same thorough- fare, if reports from motorists are predited. This condition has pre- + vailed since last fall. " At the annual town mceting, the matter was con- sidered but nothing definite was done. At the February meeting, the sum of $200 was voted as the town's share of the cost of putting the road into pre- sentable condition, It was understood that the highway department, under Whose jurisdiction the work is done, would commence the repairs as soon Of course, with there SEDCR et whether that season but the consensus of seems to be that the road should have been repaired for some time Vhat action will be taken is problematical, but it is thought & strong protest will be sent to that de- partment. The traffic over the road is extremely heavy at all seasons of the r and many citizens are anxiou$ to know why the work has not been at least started, since the previous meet- Ling voted the $200. P.

It was to the cf passenger asked the conduct up some baggage at the end car to prevent the cattle from ing up on the train. Right now in this age of enlightenment and prepar- edness, a similar episode has occurred. ~The town of Kensington was very >x- cited Saturday afternoon about fo o'clock, when the express train dne bere shortly after that hour, blew its question Is really opinion as to here, Cows Again. on the ago, re- ‘ngland that a to piie of the wal i will be hela shrill whistle and came to a stop about a mile below the railroad station. Many citizens hurried to the scene, all sorts of pictures coming into their | minds. Arriving on the first bridge, they saw the crew of the train ve: busy—chasing cattle off the tracks. | A herd of bovines belonging to P. 3. McMahon, evidently tired of chewing their cud in his pasture, wandered away and took up their stand on theo railroad track. After much treaten- ing and coaxing, the crew prevailed upon the animals to leave the track and the New York, New Haven and Hartford train continued on its way, onl ya few minutes late. Presumably, the genial theatrical magnate has not as yet prevailed on his cattle to stay in their own back vard for yesterday, no less than forty- two of them wandered once again on the land of Lucious O. Dean, who owns a - farm adjoining McMahon's. From previous experience, Mr. Dean knew he had no room to keep the crit- ters, so he simply shooed them back o their own domain. Fishermen Arrested. The stern hand of the law de- scended on Charles J. Christensen of New Britaln and Dudley Christensen, his brother, of New Haven, yesterday. Both are ardent disciples of Tzaak Walton and were in pursuit of the finny rascals, on Hart's reservoir when Game Warden Smyrk of New Britain arrived on the scene and examined their baskets. He found four picker- el all under the legal length of twelve inches he says and immediately placed the brothers under arrest. Warden Smyrk then notified the au- thoritles and sald he would have ample evidence against the men by Thursday, and they will be tried in the local court on that day at 9 o'clock. Yesterday’s Storm. The sudden storm of yvesterday ernoon, besides frightening several of the inhabitants, did a little damage about town. Many telephones were put out of commission and some trees were blcwn down. One was aft- felled on the turnpike near the Seibert | farm and a beautiful pear tree on the town farm was totally destroyed. The fair grounds also felt the effect of the ravage, for a tin roof on the booth just back of the grandstand was almost wholly blown off.

SAVINGS KEEP Freight Handler Gave Certificates Thought Lost to Friend SADNESS TURNED TO JoY Recovers Receipts As He Starts To- | E wards Jail—‘Freight Hopper” Es- capes From Constable—Sdturday ht Drunks Before Sunday Court. Locating with a friend with whom he had entrusted them for safe keep- | ing certificates of deposit in the pos- tal savings bank, which he believed he had lost, John McHenny, a freight handler employed at the local station, was spared confinement in the ford jail, Constable Downing him in tow on the w; to the street institution this morning to work out a fine imposed yesterday by Justice E. P. Prior when the receipts were recovered. McHenry, arrested Saturday night by Railroad Officer Charles Grace for creating a disturbance arownd the freight yards, appeared in court Sun- day and was fined $1 and costs, amounting to $11, for intoxication. He had but $3 on his person but ad- vised the court that there was $26 on deposit in the postal savings bank in his name. He had been s: g up his money since he came to work here six weeks ago. He told ‘the authorities, however. that he had lost the certificate At the post office the accused was ad- vised that the postmaster could not pay him the money until after thirty days had expired unless he produced the receipts. McHenry did not want to go to jail but he apparently had no alternative and this morning, re- signed to his fate, he started with the officer on the trip to jail. As thev approached the passenger station the: were met by another freight handle who explained that Saturday McHenry gave him the certificates for safe keeping. He was drunk at the time and evidently forgot. Other Drunks Jailed. Three other “drunks” who got in the path of the local constables Sat- urday night did not fare so well. Two of them, John Rourke and Frank Richards, arrested by Con- stable Philip Marino who found them wandering about the center, muc the worse for their battle with Ba leycorn, were sentenced to thircy d in jail vesterday by Justice A. H. Con- dell. The men were of hobo type and were rather hard-looking speci- mens, John McCue, a laborer, who ex- plained that he had been working on farms in the vicinity of New Haven for several weeks, came here Sat- urday and got drunk. In the ‘“‘cool of the evening” he devoted much of his energies to borrowing matches from people with whom he came in contact on the street. Constable Downing attempted to get him to leave town but instead of complying he became abusive and was locked up. Jusice Prior fined him $1 and costs at the Sunday session the court. McCue had but $4 and he was taken to jail to work out the bal- ance of his assessment. Escapes From Officer. Frank Bane, one of the arrested here by Railroad Grace for ‘‘freight hopping,” escaped from Constable Downing Saturda afternoon as the policeman was es- corting him towards the headauarters of the Hartford probation officer. He has not been apprehended although he is so well known to the Hartford police and his arrest is expected at any time. With John O'Neil, Rocco Angelo, all Hartford youths, Bane was caught as he alignted from a train at the local freight yards. The quartet appeared before Jus- tice E. P, Prior a few hours later, and each of the members was fined $1 and costs for trespassing on rail- road property. The assessment for each of the young men amounted to $9.60. They were unable to sattle but explained that they would pay up if given a chance. Constable Downing was instructed to take them before the Hartford pro- bation officer and if he was satisfied to have them put In his care, they were to be released until they had a chance to pay thelr fine. As the quartet approached lice station in Hartford, Bane into an allevway. The :onstable made no effort to catch him, believ- ing that three prisoners in custodv are worth more than one behind a block, especially when said one is fleet of foot. With the three remaining he went to police headquarters but found the probation officer absent. ° The boys were taken to the Hartford jall, the police of that city advising that their records are bad. Should the proba- tlon officer be willing to look after them they will be allowed to go on condition that they arrange for pay- ment of their fines. 0dd Fellows Decorate. The rain interfered to some extent with the program arranged for the annual exercises in memory of the de- ceased members of Sequassen lodge, I. 0. O. F., and Martha Rbekah lodge vesterday afternoon.
