" west of the American Paper Goods company and to make any appropri- ations required to carry on the work #letermined upon and to lay a tax to cover the same and to take any ac- tion necessary or incident thereto. It was definitely decided to build a new bridge and a committee was appointed consisting of the following five men: C. W. Stevens, A. I. Alling, G. B. garter, C. B. Baldwin, J. J. Fitz- simons. Just what kind of a bridge will re- place the old one has not been as- certained but it is possible that bids will be received on iron and concrete idges. Owing to the fact that the +8pan is 80 feet in length a bridge of ithe most modern type will have to be erected. The gommittee appointed will have charge of all the details and will submit plans at the next town meeting which will be held on § ¥Thursday night in the town hall. Con- B tracts for the construction will be called for as soon as the plans have been satisfactorily arranged. The selectmen have taken action and will provide for ‘a temporary footbridge during the completiop of the new bridge as at present the only way accessable for crossing is on top | jof the dam or by the temporary structure erected by the Paper Goods company in . their yard. Both of these methods are disadvantageous to the pedestrian, the former being dan- gerous and the latter being closed af- ter factory hours. Arrested for Drunkenness.

That Saturn brings joy to the hearts of some automobilists while to others he brings sorrow has been strikingly illustrated within the past few days, no less than five accidents having occurred in this vieclnity. one, however, have had fatalistic re- sults, minor damages to the machines being the general rule. Saturday afternoon an unknown autoist while driving on the turnpike below Colo- nel Jarvis' farm catapulted his car through a fence and into the ditch. The machine was later towed into Hartford for repairs. Sunday after- noon another gutoist whose identity has not been ascertained ran his car into a carriage which was coming from the opposite direction, throwing a child, an occupant of the vehicle, into the street.

Plainville News GIRL'S ASSAILANT Speclahsts Sllks and NOW LODGED IN JAIL, French Bound Over on Assault With Attempt to Murder Charge BONDS FIXED AT $10,000 Miss Farrar’'s Recovery Expected Un- less Complications Set in—Candi- date for Pastor to Speak Sunday— Gave Service of Song. Charged with assault with intent to murder, James French, who made a flendish attempt to kill Margaret Farrar of North Washington street, to get revenge for being discharged from Cooke's garage, where both were employed, is now at the Hart- ford county jail under bonds of $10, 000. He was bound over to the September term of the superior court from Farmington Saturday night, fol- lowing his removal from the Hart- ford hospital where he had been re- ceiving treatment from a self in- flicted wound. French's attempt to commit suicide proved a sorry failure and he has practically recovered from the injury. The young Italian will be confined in jail on the charge on which he was bound over pending the outcome of the wounds of his victim. He was taken to the institution after his hearing ‘in Farmington by Deputy Sheriff Gustavus Cowles, who had been guarding him at the hospital from the time of his arrest., Reports from St. Francis hospital, where Miss Farrar is a-patient, were more favorable today. The surgeons stated that she was resting quite comfortable and unless complications set in her recovery is probable. She is still in a very weakened condition and no attempt has been made to probe for two of the bullets which lodiged in her body. Three of the chots which French filred at her took effect two of the bullets enter- ing her breast and one lodging in her neck. One of the pellets was re- moved Thursday but the other two remain in her body. Development of pneumonia is now seemingly all the surgeons have to fear and should complications be avoided the young women will recov- er to face her would-be assassin in court. ‘Weds Mother’s Nurse.

Found coiled on a cement walk near the front door of a residence on Harry Forshaw's property, the children and these among the adults first called failed to recognize the type of snake or that hidden death lay in the coiled mass. It was generally supposed it was a type of adder, credited with being dangerous but not nearly as deadly as its first cousin of the rattler tvpe. It was not until it had been killed by Mr. Forshaw that its true family connections became known. Those familiar with the rattler type discov- ered the similarity in general outlines and the first “rattle” at the tip of its tail. Mr. Forshaw, called the ‘Fa- ther of Westwood Park” and a res- ident of that section for over ik g vears, says it is the first time in his experience that a snake of this type has wandered so far from its known haunts. While it is believed the one killed was a nomad, some anxiety is felt as to whether it was accompanied on its journey by others or whether an old pair have established' a den in the vicinity .

High school, gave a practical demon- stration of canning and preserving be- fore a large number of local women this afternoon in the Town hall.
