Word has been received from the Southern Belle Minstrels of Middletown that they would be on hand in good sgason re- gardless of any existing weather con- ditions and those who attend may be assured that they will hear one of the best minstrel shows ever put on In this section.

Dancing will take the main place on the program tomorrow evening and many out of town visitors are expected to be in attendance. McKeon’s orchestra will furnish the dance music each evening of the fair. Scout. Doings. The past several weeks have been busy times for the local scouts.

Use “Tiz” for Sore, Tired Aching Feet No more puffed-up burning, sweaty, calloused feet or corms. Just take your shoes off and then put those weary, shoe-crinkled, ach- ing, burning, corn-pestered, bunion- tortured feet of yours in a ‘‘Tiz” bath. Your toes will wriggle with jov; they’ll look up at vou and almost talk and .then they’ll take another dive in that “Tiz” bath. ‘When your feet feel like lumps of lead—all tired out—just try “‘Tiz." It's grand—it's glorious. Your feet will dance with joy; also you will find all pain gone from corns. cal- louses and bunions. There’s nothing like “Tiz.” It's the only remedy that draws out all the poisonous’ exudations which puff up vour feet and cause foot torture. Get a ent box ‘of “Tiz” at any drug or department store—don’t wait. Ah; how glad’ your feet get; how comfortable your shoes feel. You can wear shoes a size smaller if you desire. | taxed to capacity this morning, seven Plainvilie News| ‘ RUNS, NEARLY NUDE, T0 ESCAPE NEGROES Patrick Hurley Plows Barelegged Through Snow Drilts ATTACK SLEEPING TRUCKERS Lock-up Full As Result of Near Riot at Transfer Station—Darkies Run Amuck and Maul White Asso- ciates—Victims Flee—Briefs. Negroes, employed at the transfer Station, went on another rampage in the car used by the workmen for sleeping quarters last night, and as a result .the cells in the lockup were prisoners awaiting hearings on various charges. There was a near-riot at the Hotel DeGink, the appelation given to the sleeping car by the truckers, and some of those who took part are today nursing bruised heads and other injuries. Clubs and revolvers figured in the trouble, according to-the re- ports given the authorities, although the weapons could not be located when the participants In the row were rounded up this morning. In Willlard Jackson and John Hightowel, the police believe they have the colored editions of Jekyl and “Hyde. The men, ordinarily peaceful and obedient, jumped over the traces last night and with fiendish glee went among the sleeping whites, battering them about the heads with clubs and threatening to slowly torture them to death. Thelr favorite pastime for the eve- ning seemed to be to wake the sleep- ing victims by shaking them by the hair and, after they had roused them, hit them about the heads with clubs, poking them in the ribs at the same time with a revolver. Hightowel had the club while Jackson brandished a gun, “playfully pointing it at the hearts of the men as they were re- ceiving a beating from his ‘partner. ‘Without stopping to dress, the other occupants of the car dashed into the open, leaving the negroes in sole pos- session. The darkies began their operations about 2 o'clock this morning and a short time later Constable Marino was startled speechless as he Spied the form of a man garbed only in an un- dershirt, running along West Main street and calling for a policeman. A dance of colored people was letting out in the Town hall at the time and the screams of the women as the strange figure darted through the snow drifts as if fourteen million devils were after him pierced the night air and roused a section of the town from its slumbers. “There's H- to pay up at the depot,” the man cried as soon as he could recover his breath, “and there's sure to be a killing.’ Officer Marino escorted him to the lockup where he was given shelter. The man, who said his name was Patrick Hurley, told of the free-for-all fight and of the weap- ons used by the negroes, and pleaded to be given protection. Officer Marino was unwilling to venture to thé scene of trouble alone, and he decided to wait until morning before searching for the drink-crazed negroes. Hurley was in the lockup but a short time when James Burn$ and Willlam McKenna put in an appear- ance at the Center. They demanded that the officer give them protection, and finally becoming abusive in their language, they were brought to the lockup to keep Hurley company. They put up a violent resistance, but were finally landed behind the bars. is morning Constable Downing and Railroad Officer Grace brought Hightowel to the lockup where Hur- ley and the other occupants of the cells identified him as one of their as- sailants. Tater Jackson wis taken into custody. Both denied being im- plicated in the trouble and avowed that they knew nothing about it. While Officer Marino was looking for the negroes this morning he re- celved a complaint that one of the “transfer gang,” badly intoxicated, was causing a disturbance in Conforti's store. He dragged him to the town building. Yesterday afternoon he picked up James McLean of Hartford, who came here looking for work and got drunk instead. The entire outfit will be given hear- ings before Justice Condell and Jus- tice Prior some time before night One Prisoner Minus, The justices at today’s session of the court will have one less prisoner to deal with: as the result of the agility of an Italian named Lippio, who had been placed under arrest hy Constable Downing for causing a disturbance in Murphy's cafe. Lippio proved him- self to be fleet of foot and h-~ o | escape from the officer while on his way to the lockup. Lippio accompanied the o out making any resistance corner of Pierce and W was reached He then mind about being locked up, and put up a fight. Although the officer used his club freely on him. Lippio's head withstood the blows and he finally dashed away. The officer ture him, = located at any icer with- until the lain street hanged his made no effort he believed he time. Lippio in town and, while he was absent this morning, as far as the police could learn, he expected to return. Stole Confiscated Liquor. Like Mother Hubbard's cupboard, Constable Marino found the closet in the selectman’s office hare yesterday afternoon when he visited it to store some liguor which he had taken from a prisoner. Frequently when making to cap- can be ives F Town hall. arrests the officer has taken quart and pint bottles of whiskey from his prisoners, - putting them in the closet for safe keeping.
