Sitting in a cell in the Plainville lockup, Albert Cellino, local man, has plenty of time to h‘u] ~onvinced of the fact that the arm of tha law is a peculiar thing. Cellino was ar- - rested in New Britain last night by | Officer Henry Davids, who received a | tip that Cellin® was talking to a friend on Commercial street. Officer Davids immediately went to the place | mentioned and finding Cellino in conversation as him under arrest on a charge of pass- | ing a worthless check. Cellino could give no bond and was forced to re- main in the lockup until his trial comes up. The accused is charged by the pro- | prietors of the Palace of weets on ! Whiting street, with obtaining goods | from the store and tendering a | wogthless check for $45.00. Cellino is said to have declared the check was all right and it was taken by the man at the counter. When the owners went to New Britain to cash it, they were refused money. They then | went to th Pelainville Trust company | and were also refused there. Cellino appeared surprised concerning the worthlessness of the check and (nnk’ it, saying he would cash it immedi- ately. While on the way to the Plainville Trust compan he evi. dently made out another, this time for $90.00, and is said to have ten- dered it at the window. Without suspicion_the clerk at the bank gave him the money. Cellino did not put in an appearance at the store to give them the money and was not seen again until Officer Davids received the tip that he was in New Britain. He will be giver a hearing in the Plainville town court tomorrow even- ing. Justice Edward P. Prior will hear the case and Attorney William J. Foran will act as prosecutor. Election Starts Light.

That | the rent situation will be relieved a great deal by the leaving of so many | tenants is evident. There were esti- | mated to be upwards of 300 or more, | who left Plainville Saturday for other places. Business will feel the loss of the men and many of the stores had ordered an extensive winter stock, depending on the younger men for the trade. Wedding Announced. The coming wedding of M Mary | A.
