School Enumerator Bu: W. Mildrum of East Berlin, who was appointed by the school board last weelk as school enumerator, was busily engaged this morning securing the names of all the children in the town between the ages of four and fifteen, inclusive. Mr. Mildrum has already completed the enumeration of the children in East Berlin with the exception of scveral families where an interpreter will be required. Mr. Mil- drum expects to have this district completed within a few day It is very important that every name be secured as the state compensates this town with $2.25 for every child cligible to attend school.

Plainville News CONSTABLES’ ENEMY GETS TERMIN JAL Tony Chio Threatened to Kill Any | ‘Qifi'cer Who Would Arrest Him COURT NOT IN. SYMPATHY James J. Graham Appointed Assistant Postmaster—Freight Handlers Fihed —Costello Jajled—Oakes Fans Six- teen—Expect Hart’s Nominadion. That the courts are not in sympatity with law-breakers who add to their offenses by threatening officers witp whom they come in contact was dem- onstrated to the dissatisfaction of Tony Chio y s sterday when that individual made an appearance before Justice A, H. Condell intoxication to answer to charges of and breach of the peace. Despite his plea of not guilty to both counts, Chio was convicted and was sentenced to thirty days in jail in ad- dition to having to settle a fine of §5 and costs. Chio has been on a rampage for the past week. He had been given a number of chances by the constables but seemingly was not appreciative of the favoritism shown him. Friday night he was found in an intoxicated condition n the rear of the Russell property but was let go after he begged Constable David to give him a chance. He was around the streets Satur- day boasting about his control of the officers and declared to friends that he was going ‘“to get” Officér David for interfering with him. Saturday night he acquired another jag and he took a trip to the lock-up as a result of his actlons. He told Constable Ma- rino that he intended to kill him as soon as he got his liberty, and to give him an opportunity to reflect on his de- cision Justice Condell ordered a term in jail. Two freight handlers employed at the transfer station were also before the court yesterday. They had been arrested Satur night on intoxica- tion charges. Justice Condell imposed fines of $5 and costs in each case. The men settled. Graham Assistant Postmaster. Announcement was made today of the appointment of James J. Graham as stant postmaster to fill the va- cancy caused recently when Clinton J. Morse resigned the place to become rural carrier. The tion carries a salary of $1,100 a Mr. Graham has been on the clerical staff in the postoffice for some time. Befor he eived his appointment here he worked as substitute in artford postofiice Mr. Graham's promotion will cessitate no other changes in the office, as the staff was made complete at the time Mr. Morse elected to change to the rural carrier’s position, although the appointment of his successor as ant postmaster was deferred until now. Postmaster Prior able to select his the clerks in the office. postmastership is a civil service posi- tion and is not regarded in the light of a political plum as Is the case with the postmaster. Costello Jailed. Inability to meet the orders issued by Justice Condell has resulted in Plainville’s furnishing another inmate of the county jail, John Costello, for- merly of Bristol, having bheen taken to that institution because of his con- viction on a non-support charge. lvidence showed that Costello ha been spending much of his time loiter- ing around cafes while his wife had to work to support their children. Justice Condell ordered him to file a bond of $200 as a guarantee that he would pay $8 a week towards his family’s sup- port. The accused couldn’t get a hondsman and he was taken to Jail. Had Sixteen Strike-outs. Pitcher Oakes of the Plainvi esters’ team is rapidly acquiring a rep- utation as a strikeout king and his ap- pearance on the mound has become a signal for chills on the part of op- posing batsmen, owing to his clever- ness. The young twirler added to his Jaurels vesterday when he faced the Mohawk team of Southington on Al- ien’s field. I slants were puzzles to the visitors and sixteen of them were retired by the strikeout route during the game. Only two of the Southing- ton bovs hit safely. The Plainville team put up an ex- cellent exhibition and won by a score of 4 to 0 . A large crowd watched the game and gave the local boys much deserved encouragement.
