STEEPLEJACK HERE TO PAINT BIG STACK Man Who Climbed Woolworth Flag Pole Now Working On Malleable Iron Chimney. Peltier, the most daring steeplejack in New England, is now in town working on the smoke stacks of the Malleable Iron Works and also those of Corbin & Sons. Peltier has | Just arrived in town from Springfield, Mass., where he had been working for over two months doing daring jobs | that nobody else would attempt. Springfield secured the services of this man just after he caused so much favorable talk by his daring work lon the flagpole of the Woolworth | building, New York. It was there that | he surprised the daredevils of the world by taking his pail of paint and | holsting himself 780 feet in the air in the face of a forty-mile-an-hour wind. The New York papers made a hero of him and as a result Springfield of- fered him an attractive financial in- ducement to come and repair their lofty regions. The first job of note that Peltier did in Springfield was to hang the bells in the municipal | building. The city. fathers then in- sisted that the peak of the city hall be gold leafed, whereupon Henry went {to work and added to his honors by | completing the work in record time For over a month Peltier did daring stunts in the air much to the delight of the crowds that always gathered to watch him work. A common ques- tion by the man on the street would be: “Where is Henry going to perform i toda.y? It would take at least two columns to tell of the many almost impossible feats that Henry has won honors in, | 50 the people can judge for them- | selves by watching him work here in New Britain, Henry Mrs. J.

Norton charged vehicle while in of operating Parsons Hartford, a motor tea condi- doubt in his honor’s mind this morning in | Judge H. Kirkham suspended judgment. Par- arrested on Main street o’clock this morning by Offi- cer Willlam Murphy after he had driven blindly over the lighted ‘silent officer” and had dragged it some dis- tance along Main street bencath his machine. Evidence Against Accused. Officer Murphy testified that he was {in front of Chatfield’s store when he heard a crash and turned around in time to see Parsons’ automobile knock down the traffic post, lighted red lantern and all, and proceed up Main street with the heavy standard wedged beneath the car. Ie stopped Parsons and said the man acted as though he was under the influence of liguor. Sergeant T. M. Herting, in charge of the police station when Par- sons was brought in, stated that he seemed to be under the influence of liquor and his breath smelled strong- 1y of liquor. He said Parsons admit- ted that he had three or four drinks. Harold Holcomb, a disinterested wit- ness who saw the whole affair, that while Parsons was not drunk he appeared to be somewhat under the influence of liquor. Parsons denied the charges. He said he had been attending a com- mittee meecting in this city and had parked his car on the green. When he started he said he did not go fast- er than flve miles an hour and instead of looking ahead to see where he was going he looked from side to side in search of some friends. He sald that because he was not accustomed to seeing a red lantern on a traffic post at the intersection of the street he did not see it. He said he had two or three bottles of beer but was not under the influence of liquor. Judge Excuses Prisoner. Judge Kirkham hesitated long over this case and finally asked if it was raining when the arrest was made. Receiving an affirmative answer he remarked that because of rain on the windshield Parsons might not have been able to see the lantern. The judge d he was not satisfied that Parsons was under the influence of liquor enough to be dangerous, so he suspended judgment. Another Autoist Fined. Another automobi from Hart- ford, L.ouis Mitnick, was fined $2 without costs for leaving his automo- bile In the restricted district on West Main street yeste Officer Patrick Quirk made the arrest and sa Mit nick left his car there for forty minutes. Attorney with an intox: tion, was given the benefit of police court when John Albert A. Greenberg ap- peared for the used and pleaded ignorance of local ordinances. He said Mitnick drove his car around the corner and left it to go to a restaur- ant to get his dinner. Being able to leave car on the street for forty minutes in Hartford, he naturally thought he could do the same thing here and did not notice the none too big signs on the curbing. Judge Kirkham thought should have seen the t Mitnick NEW TEACHERS HIRED. Superintendent Holmes Secures Sevi for the High School Faculty. Superintendent of Schools S. H.
