While John- son held the man, Winfield, it is al- leged, severely pummeled him and then struck him with a heavy chain. In court this morning Kieley present- ed a pitiful sight with cuts and con- lons over his head, face and hands d with two badly discolored optics. Both men were found guilty on the charge of assault and battery and re- céived stiff fines. Because of the scarcity of labor, Judge Griswold de- cided not to sentence them -to long fall terms. After Tecelving beans for breakfast, beans for dinner and more beans for pper for the past foew days at the .camp, several of the emploves be- came discontented. Acting as their spokesman, Kieley, it is said, up- braided the cooks and demanded that they be served with a different menu. | Resenting the remarks, Winfleld and Johnson followed Kieley from the camp and pummeled him. In thelr own defense, the accused testifled that they did not strike Kieley, but were leading him to an officer and were - going to have him nrrested. They said that Kieley fell on a rallroad tie and struck his head against a box-car, which caused him to appear in such a bruised condi- ’ tion. .. Kleley, in asking that his assailants :s punished, said that the men were eing harshly treated at the camp. He claimed that for over a week no ‘bread or butter had been served to them.

The same amount was glven to 85 other towns in the state and must be used within the next two years. It was hoped by local residents that Berlin would receive at least $15,- 000. The roads arc in a deplorable condition and people feel that work in rconstructing them should be started at once. The town must con- tribute a quarter share of $2,100 in | the repairing of the highways, thus bringing Berlin's amount to $8&400. As all the roads in Berlin are in need of repairs there is much discus- sion as to which should be fixed first. At the recent town meeting, Ernest Baldwin farm. John D. Ronketty. John D.
