Frank T. Wheeler, prominently mentioned for representative this fall, and John B. Minor were named as delegates to | the senatorial convention. Whte none of the local delegates were in- structed, this being contrary to local policy among the republicans, it can be stated that Holcomb will be fa- vored for governor, Oakey for con- gressman and A. H. Condell for sen- ator in the fifth. The caucus was anything but a live- i]y affair, less than forty voters at- ! tending. It was called to order by F. H. Hills, chairman of the town com- mittee. A. H. Condell was named for chairman and N. E. Clark for clerk. The entire business was transacted in less than an hour and as there were no contests little time was lost. The delegates are permitted to choose thelr own alternates. Humane Society contests in the state, Acts. Agent Wells of the Connecticut Hu- mane society came here yesterday for the purpose of prosecuting a com- plaint against Reuben Dyke, an old man, who was charged with misusing a horse. Apparently the state failed to present a conclusive case and Dyke was allowed to go on payment of costs. It was charged that Dyke, who does odd jobs about the village, nused the horse when it was in no condi tion for work. State witnesses testi- fied that the animal was suffering with sores, but Dyke maintained that fed the horse well and that its sicl ness was due to spasmodic colic, some- thing which he could not prevent. Unknown Man Arrested. Officer Marino was called upon to arrest a stranger last evening. The man was intoxicated and appe d to be a laborer who had dabbled in the company of old John Barleycorn uan- til he was unable to navigate farther. He was tried in the local court this afternoon.
