Dedn fur- Entshed the bond of $26. The case will ‘be heard befote the next term of. thfi superior court. John Conlon’ was the first witness ! Fcalled by Prosecutor W. H. Gibney 'and he ‘sald that he had lived in the {Blue Hills. district for the past thirty yoars and that DeVivo was his nearest !nardhy morning he game out of door and noticed a man coming up the road with a rifle. ¥ When he came opposite the house he ' | pointed the rifie at him a couple of | times. He rsn out into the road ' and took the rifie away from the man ‘who proved to be young DeVivo. Con- lon stated that hh son; Michael, added " him in taking the rifile away and after . they captured it DeVivo pulled a knife on them. Mr. Conlon became so i glarmed that he hitched his horse ' ana started for Mr. Gibney’s to have ? the young man arrested and as he drove down the rosd Mrs. DeVivo hit . him over the back with a lopg club and the younger son, Ami, hit him’ i .with geveral stones. % Michael Conlon, son of John, was _ the second witness and he told of seeing the trouble between his father and DeVivo. He told the court that at varfous times he has been ocalled & coward by the members of the fam- {ly and that yesterday they invited _him into the road. He saw his father ' ‘hit with the pole and also saw the - A boy throw stones. After his |- father drove away the DeVives came | @fter him. During the remainder of the day he said he went around the road to avoid trouble. He also stated that the family hed been cross- ing their land and that he had or- dered them out. Tony DeVivo, the young man in question, told the court that Mr. Dean $ad given him the gun and that he g =i making “his: way home with' it [ #hen the two Conlons attacked him 18ad hok the gun away. Michael um u the back -and John HAVING AN . Aumnom& FOR CEIVING ALL DRY when | 0ok the gun away. also said they called him names and bothered him when he went by the place. Imme- diately after they took the gun away he went back and told Mr. Dean about it. He claimed that he fmew that he had no right to carry the gun on the highway on Sunday. The gun he claimed was no good as the cham- ber was broken-off and there was a screw in the barrel and it was for ) this reason that he let the meri take it away from him. Tony afterward admitted that he had called Conlon {names and that he had looked up cames in a law book to see what were his rights. Mrs. DeVivo claimed to know noth- |ing about the case except that her son came home and told her the Con- llol’la had taken the gun away from {him. She said that there had been lots of tréuble lately between the two families. She was also sure that she did not see the two men at any time yesterday. An older son, Lewis DeVivo, claimed that he was in his own yard and when he heard the noise he ran down { the road and saw the Conlons running into their yard. The road was all marked up as if a struggle had oc- curred he said. This was the only | time during the day that he saw the Conlene. 3 Russell Dean, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. O, Dean, told the court that his father had giyen the gun away be- cause it was of no use and had been in the barn for the last two or three | vears.” He heard his father téll An- tonio that it was of no value but he could have it. Judge Griswold said that he would dismiss the complaint against Mrs. DeVivo but the next time she ap- peared in the court she would not es- cape punishment. He fined Antonio $7 and costs and placed his bond at $25 for appearance at the next term of. the superior ‘court. Church News.

General Chang- hsun, formerly military governor of Anhwel province, several thousands of whose troops have reached Peking, yesterday delivered an ultimatum de- manding the dissolution of parlia- ment within forty-eight hours. The Associated Press is informed officially that President L. Yuan Hung has refused to accede to this demand | unless such action may be taken in ac- | cordance with the .provisions of the | | constitution.

If he should do so, Nieh Shih-chun declared it would be for the purpose of over- throwing the president and restoring the Manchu dynasty.

A Liberty Loan - Demonstration | Great Event in Plainville | HILLS \MARSHAL OF PARADE Robert P. Butler of Hartford, M’Ily Be Speaker Wednesday Night—Home Guard Expects Call to Service— Justice Pays Game Warden’s Fee. Estimating that between 1,100 ana 1,200 people will participate, the Liberty Loan committee today in- creased their activities in connection with the monster patriotic demon- stration to be held here Wednesday night when the campaign for sub- scriptions in an effort to bring Plain- ville’s total up to at least: $40,000 will be brought to a whirlwind finish. The members announced this morning that they have made most satisfactory progress and have received higlly en- couraging reports from all organiza- 1 been tions invited to participate. Plans for the demonstration have received with enthusiasm throughout the town and the indica- tions are that’everyone will have some part in the affair. ,The parade will probably be the largest pageant ever attempted in Plainville. Reports from various organisations indicate that all the men in town will march with some group and there will also be a large representation of women. Arrangements have been made for suitable ‘floats calling attention to the work of certain branches of patriotic movements. The demonstration is to be con- cludea at the Home Guard drill _grounds on Plerce street and it s likely- that Robert P. Butler of Hart- ford, will make the final appeal for, subscriptions. Volunteer: clerks have been engaged to take subscriptions on the grounds after the speaker con- cludes his address. Should the weather be unfavorable for &n opeh air meeting the assembly will be in the Town hall, There will be plenty of music, an abundance of red fire and other mani- festations of enthuslasm and the committee looks forward to the affair with big expectations. Edwin H. Hills has been selected to act as marshal of the parade. The committee has secured the .- Bristol Itallan band and the Fureka Drum corps’ to play for the marchers. The Bristol Home guard has also been in- vited to take part and it is expected that the company will be here, The Boy scouts, under the direction of Scoutmaster Harry Bonney, will do messenger work in connection with the demonstration and will also take part in the parade. The surgical dressings committee, probably sixty in number, will march'in the wake of the Red Cross flag, Women inter- ested in the proposed canning club will also take part. They will march behind an appropriate float. Autos will be loaned to the com- miftee for the G. A. R. veterans and the members of the Women’s Relief corps. There will be machines for others who are not connected with organizations participating in the parade or who are physicallyg unable to march, SThe local Home Guard is expected to be one of the features of the parade. Under the direction of Lfeu- tenant Peter F. Duffy the 'company will march with the Liberty Loan en- thusiasts. The medical corps will be in charge of Lieutenant L. H. Frost and the newly organized machine gun division will also be in the ranks with Lieutenant W., F, Wade in command. The two_machine guns recently pre- sented to the company by A. F. Rock- well, president of the Marlin Arms company, will be transported on autos, It will be the first time the guns have been exhibited here. Other organizations who have noti- fled the committee of their intention to take part fnclude the Oda Fellows, the Itallan Benefit soclety, the Foresters, the Holy Name soclety and the members of the fire department. Members of the ministers committee will ride in autos. Detalls of the plans were being at- tended to today and by tomorraw it is expected evérything will be in readi- ness for the affalr.. The committee is working hard to complete the ar- rangements and the members feel gratified with the co-operation gen- erally extended to them. Expect Call to Service. Following a conference with Major Lyman of the First Regiment of the Home Guard held Saturday, Lieutenant L. H. Frost advised - the members of his division that'they are to be furnished with uniforms and other equipment in the near future. The Plainville division has been recognized as part of the medical corps of the regiment, but the mem- bers have had to purchase their own uniforms, Major Lyman expressed the opinion that as soon as the National Guard leaves the state to go into camp the Home Guard will have to serve in guarding railroads, munitions plants and government properties. He be- lieved that the guardsmen will see service within two months. Justice Pays Game Warden. Conceding that the law had been violated making the imposition of a penalty,necessary, vet sympathizing with the accused, Justice Condell dis- posed of the case of John Johanna of New Britain in sensible fashion last evening when the prisoner was ar- raigned on the charge of catching undersized pickerel. He allowed the accused to go on payment of the cost of prosecution and then paid the game warden’s fee of $10 oyt of his own wallet. Johanna, a poor but honest ap- pearing Hungarian, feels the effect ‘was employed by 8. Silks and Dress Goods' Mail Orders Carefully and Promptly Filled Telephone C S.

[ The reason is plain when you consider the oondlfim of the market for raw material Steel, also cotton fabrics and tubber are scarce and high. All "these materials are essential to making fine Corsets and must be of good quality. So the “Nemo” price must be advanced, or else the famous “Nemg” quality must be -nrlflud, and this the makers will never do.

Yester- day he went to White Oak pond to fish that he might secure dinner for his family. He caught a seven-inch pickerel and a small perch, and ig- norant of the fact that they were un- dersized, according to law, he kept them in his possession. Richard Smyrk of New Britain, deputized by his ' father, Willlam Smyrk, a game warden, to arrest vio- lators of the game law, found Jo- hanna with the undersized fish and took him into custody. Johanna admitted that he was guilty of a violation of the law if the statutes are against catching un- dersized fish although he was . not aware that it is an offense to take them from the water. He was seemingly very honest in his state- ments and he won the sympathy of the court. The law entitles a game warden or his deputy to a fee of $10 for every arrest in which a conviction is se- cured and consequently his “pound of flesh” had to be included in the costs of prosecution. It was apparent that Johanna could ill afford to pay the ,money. It meant taking food out of 'the mouths of his children and the court ends -didn't believe that the of justice necessitated such a sacrifice. Nevertheless the law gives the presiding justice no alternative in such a case and the deputy game warden had’to et his fee. Justice Condell showed his sympathy in practical fashion and paid the $10 himself. Death of Edward Hill. Edward Hill, an old resident of this place, died Saturday night at the Hartford hospital from a complica- tion of diseases. He was 72 years old, and is survived by his widow and one son.
