Condemnation Hearing. Owners of places raided by the state police a week ago will be given an opportunity to appear in court to- morrow to show cause why the liquor confiscated should not be destroyed. There are several hundred bottles of beer in the basement of the town building to be disposed of, and it is likely that it will be condemned as the owners admitted their guilt and were fined when they were arraigoed. It was reported today that there is a possibility that the men will be arrested by the revenue agents and brought hefore the U. S. court at Hartford for violating the federal law hy selling without a revenue license. This could not be confirmed, however, although credence was given to it in some quarteers. Price of Milk Soars. The high cost of living as applied to cattle as well as humans is given by the farmers as the reason for the advance to ten cents a quart in the retall price of milk. The new rate became effective today, all the milk- men notifying their customers of the raise. Grain is now selling at a high figure and the farmers argue that they can- not afford to sell the product of their places at the prices which formerly prevailed.
