Stirred by a feeling to emulate the sgreatest American of them all” two Kensington youths, Thomas Haddock, 13 and Stanley Boyt, 12, left last Sun- day for the border, where they were going to “kill the Mexicans.” But fate, in the personnel of the West Haven police force, stopped them yesterday in that town and their fight for the interests of their country is postponed fpr a time. When the troops were sent to the border, both youngsters evinced a desire to go and were not glow in informing their many friends. It was not known they had left town, until this morning, when Officer Wil- jiam Ritchie received a telephone call from the West Haven police, inquiring vegarding the youths. Officer Ritchie fmmediately notified Haddock’s par- ents and left this morning at 11:30 to bring the embryo soldiers back. The boys had all their parapher- nalia with them, in the line of tents, daggers, pistols and even the famed khaki uniforms. A West Haven offi- cer saw them and they told him they were on the way to “kill the St. Paul’s Lawn Festival. Preparations are fast nearing com- pletion for the annual lawn festival of St. Paul's church, Kensington, which will be held on the church lawn next Tuesday evening.

Having increased the town's grand list $50,000, Tax Commissioner W, H. Corbin hs to Clerk R. C. Usher advising him of the action of the state board of equaliza- tion in putting an by sent a letter Town additional ass used in the average attendance grant for the schools of small towns. The 1aise did not surprise the local officials sreatly as it had been intimated to them a few months ago that the state board was again to frown on the town. Despite the fact that the baost was rather expected the officials are not enthusiastic over it and they willing- Iy admit that they see no justification for it. The assessors made up their list last year, figuring the varfous properties on a one hundred per cent. valuation and they do not believe that Commissioner Corbin and his asso- ciates should put any additional bur- den on the taxpayers. They realize, however, the folly of registering an thing except a formal protest and as has been the case in the past they will have to close their ey to the state's raid on the town treasury. Plainville officlals feel particularly hard hit over the regular increases be- cause the town no longer shares in the state appropriation for schools for average attendance, the grand list Dbeing over $2,000,000. Until ‘two vears ago Plainville got its share of the money but under the existing con- ditions it is no longer entitled to any of it. Last year the state an additional $150,000 to the grand list but after the earnest salicitation of the officials changed the ralse to §100,000. The $50,000 which was cnopped off is put back again and the town will have to settle. Here it believed that the state Toard used a poor basis in calculating, the members seemingly figuring that to insure a peaceful sleep they simply had to change the assessors’ report. Must Abate Threatening prasecution, the select- men have again warned Mr, and Mrs. Charles Green that they must abate the nuisance caused by the howling of the dogs in their kennel on Camp street. While they are not anxious to bring the couple into court, the select- men declare that they will order an arrest unless their instructions are obeyed. This morning notice to that cffect was served on Mrs. Green. Mr. Green has dog training quarters on his wife's property and he is board- ing from twelve to fifteen hound Nelghbors claim that they are an- noved by the barking of the animals at night and growing weary of the continued disturbance they ask to have the nuisance abated. Mr. Green was advised that he must either put silencers on the dogs or give up the kennels but after consult- ing counsel he declared that he was acting within his legal rights in re- fusing. According to the law, the selectmen have the privilege of ordering the abating of such a nuisance on written camplaint and the law provides that a fine of §7 and costs or thirty days tm=- prisonment may be meted out in case of a refusal.

Goodhue and Wilson were arraigned last evening on charges of drunken- © and breach of the peace. Accord- ing to the testimony of the officers the men had a fight near the old freight depot. Goodhue's face was somewhat disfigured from the beating given him. Wilson denied that he was responsible and the court figured that the scrap was simply a drunken brawl. Wilson was fined $5 and costs and sentenced to jail for thirty days and was given thirty dayvs without a fine. The constables were making their final trip around the center after midnight when they discovered O'Con- nell Iying in the road. The man was badly intoxicated and refused to give any iInformation about himself. He also declined to surrender a bottle of whiskey found on him and threatened to attack the officers if they attempted to take it from him. He taken to the lockup. This morning Justice Calor imposed a fine of $5 and the accused elected to work out the penalty in jail. w this were a hearing May Have New The selectmen are considering the holding of another hearing to take up the matter of accepting in part the highway pared by Engineer McKernan over which so much objection was raised recently by the property owners. Because of the difference in the book records in the town clerk’s of- fice and the stone boundary monu- ments regarding the wldth of the highway on the east end the selectmen are in a quandary as to what action to take and they now propose to sum- mon the property owners together to discuss the matter of accepting the highway beginning at Park street and continuing west, the section on the eastern extremity to be considered later. Tt is likely that this plan will meet with approval and will avoid any fur- ther trouble over the houndaries. Hearing. Sunday at Chautauqua.
