Then he went home, for- getting to pick up the money. Officer Marino was passing the store about 2 o'clock this morning when he no- ticed the bag: He thought it was of no consequence, but just for luck he kicked it. At first he was of the belief that his ears deceived him. He kicked it again. metallic clink of real United States money. The policeman opened the bag and, after recovering his breath, saw it contained coin of the realm,qgn- cluding a 1 number of bills. Officer Mar! telephoned to Hemingway this morning and quired whether he had missed any- thing. Mr. Hemingway almost climbed hrough the telephone in his eager- ness. The situation was explained and the policeman returned the cash. Little Political Activity. Up to the present time none of the usual activity previous to election has been noticed in Plainville. It is time, however, that prepa ion be made for the annual campaign. As a gen- eral rule the republicans have swept everything before them in the local elections. This year, however, the loss of the votes of the local soldiers and sailors will probably be felt, and this may decide the election. present it is not known whether majority of Plainville men in the ser- vice is composed of Republicans or Democrats. Although the year, there contest in this year's election. In or- to have the liquor question voted it is necessary t a petition be ned by a certain number of voters and presented to the hoard of select- men. It is very probable that the liquor interests will circulate such a petition in the very near future. When Plainville was a ‘“wet” town there were five saloons, all near the center. Two of ther ve remained the same although closed, and of the othe three, two of them are being used for stores, and one as part of oming house. The election is about six weeks away and it is very probable that political circles will be very live- ly in a very short time Mrs. Jennie Williams. Jennie Williams, wife of Irv- Williams, died at a pri sanatorium in Wethersfield yester: morning. She had been ill for almost a year, and her death was expected at any time. She is survived a son, Robert Hawthorn, and step-son, Wooster Williams both living in Hart- ford. She also leaves her father, liv- ing in Middletown and a brother Wethersfield. - Mrs. Williams was vears of age. Quictus On Celebration. Officer Marino announces that the event of another American vie- tory, no revolvers or cannon will be used in Painville. he celebrations here are said to have been too boist- erous to suit certain of the towns- people, who were kept awake all night the noise. The officer’s an- nour nt spread black gloom amor the “kids” of the town, h considered these celebrations the light of a second edition of tI Glor- ious Fourth.” If the rule is enforced it probable that arrests may be made, as it is hard to restrain the crowd when they have any excuse for a celebration. Tt is rumored t five men of the local company of the State Guard have been appointed for special police duty: Many members of the Baptist bout the use of the bell and they say their objections due to the fact that windows have been broken, and the bell rope fraved by constant the bell being rung for two and three hours at a time, and they object to being put to ex- pense in this manner.
