Plainville News PUNCHBOARDS MAKE TROUBLE FOR OWNER State Police Arrest Louis Conforti for Operating Gambling Device GOURT IMPOSES $26 FINE Chief Egan Hears Complaint That Boys Are Allowed to Spend for Prizes—Arrested Trying Into Saloon—On Two Committees. Hard luck continues on the trail of Louis Conforti, the police of New Britain and representatives of Chief Egan’'s department adding to his tribulations yesterday when they placed him under arrest on two to Break charges. Louis’ misfortunes have been numerous during the past few months and the action of the author- ities served as a climax to the opera- tions of his Nemesis. New Britain officers ordered his ap- pearance in court in that city this morning for driving an automobile without having it equipped with a 1917 marker. Mr. Conforti proved that he had ordered the plate, but through negligence or an oversight in the office of the secretary of state it was not mailed to him until last night, arriving in Plainville this morn- ing. The charge against him was nolled on that account. State policemen descended on his confeotionery store last evening and, finding a punsh'bonrd in operation, took him into ‘custody for having gambling devices in his place. He was arraigned before Justice E. P. Prior and was fined $256 and costs. The . state officers make periodical visits to Plainville and occasionally nab the owners of some of the stores for having punch-boards. It is said that their visits are invariably in re- sponse to complaints made to the chief by certain local people who object to: the devices principally because chil- dren are allowed to spend their money in an effort to get on of the various prizes offered. Tried to Enter Saloon. John Shay and Michael Sullivan are in the lockup awwiting arraignment before Justice E. P. Prior on charges of intoxication and "breach of the peace. They were arrésted this morn- ing by Constable Downing and Rall- road Officer Charles Grace. The men, both of whom have been employed at the transfer — station, trok on cargoes of “joy water” to combat the zero weather. They were badly under the influencs of liguor and when they attempted to enter Charles F. MoCall's cafe the door was closed on them. Shay tried to force his way in. Officer Downing saw him from the railroad station and ordered him away. Sullivan interfered and both men were finally locked up, Of- ficer Grace coming to the assistance of the constable. On Two Committees. William Simpson, Plainville’s rep- resentative in ‘the general assembly, was appointed yesterday to serve on the shell fisheries and the the state prison committees of the House. Both are fairly important committees and the Plainville man should have no complaint to make. {Plainville seldom gets a great deal of recognition in the legislature and the committees to which Mr. Simpson ‘was appointed are of more importance than those to which most of his predecessors have been assigned. Win Two Out of Three. Basketball teams representing the Plainville Young Men's club made a good showing in the “bargain night’ exhibitions given in the Town hall last evening, two of the quintets defeat- ing ‘their opponents while the third five men went down to defeat. In the star game the local boys triumphed, foroing the Mohawi: Southington to take t end of a twenty-eight to six score. The visit- ors were hopelessly outclassed and faced defeat from the beginning of the contest. The local boys were in fine form and would have rolled up & larger score had not the inferiority “Tiz” Fixes /Aching, -Swollen, Sore Feet How “Tiz”’ does comfort tired, burn- ing, calloused feet and corns. “Sure! 1 use ‘TIZ’ feet, feet. bun- Good-bye, sore feet, burning swollen feet, tender feet, tired Good-bye, corns, callouses, ions and raw spots.

The attraction next Thursday night will be the Berlin team, which is rated as a fast aggregation. Fell Into Brook. While the mercury hovered around the zero mark in the thermometers and the wind howled through the trees. Barney Mason, Plainville’'s leading disciple of Isaak Walton, started out with some friends on a fishing trip last evening, meeting with! an experience before his return which' he.is not anxious to repeat. .Mason was wading throuygh a brook near Southington, wielding his spear as members of the finny tribe got in the glare of his lantern’s rays, when he tripped over a branch of a tree which had dropped into the water, and fell into the stream. He had to walk over a mile through the woods before he could reach shel- ter. Despite the severity of the weather, Mason was seemingly none the worse today for his experience. Icemen Are Happy. ‘While Plainville people, caught in the grip of the cold wave, the most severe of the winter, were sticking as close as possible to the stoves and radiators, the ice dealers were wear- ing a smile of contentment today, King Frost having dispelled their fears of an ice shortage. Most of the dealers had arranged several days ago to start the annual harvest, but the warm spell of last week interfered with their plans and for a time gave them visions of empty repositories at a time when their pro- duct would be in the greatest de- mand. At White Oak this morning a large force started harvesting the first crop of the season. Farmers at Scott's Swamp were also busy getting in a supply for their personal use, and at Leland Hart’'s and George Bryant's ponds there was considerable activ- ity in preparation for the cutting of the ice.

J. baum.—advt, i is cold, Constable Marino has adopted a new policy for handling of “float- ers” who come here ostensibly looking for work at the rallroad transfer station, acquiring “jags” during their stay and eventually landing in the lockup. Heretofore the men have been brought into court and, as they tave for the most part been unable to pay fines, the town has had to stand the expense of sending them to jail. During the past week Officer Ma- rino has locked up several drunks of this type. Jail has no terrors for them at this season of the year.

James.—edvt. ——The Popular Shoe Store thirty day sentence with glee. (Acting with the support of Grand Juror Gwillim, the officer has kept prisoners of this character in the lockup until after noon following the day of their arrest and has then released them, ordering them to leave town. The world looks cold and cruel to them as the doors of the bastile are opened, and they leave under protest, disap- pointed because they were not ‘‘sent up.” Brief Items. M. Leo Prior has resigned his place as embalmer for the B. C. Porter Sons of New Britain and will take up the management of Prior’s store here. Charles H. Norton of Worcester was today appointed administrator on the estate of his father, John C. Norton. A hearing on his application was given this morning in the probate court. The funeral of Deputy Sheriff James \ 1. Sheffield of South Glastonbury, who died yesterday, will be held Sun- day afternoon from his residence. It is expected a number from here will attend.
