Still Found. ‘While searching for Meski, the local authorities came across the home of Nicholas Cienewicz near the old falr grounds and whose place it is known Meski often visited. Nick as he is called by his friends s seen in the yard by Pollo and Read and when asked by the men if he had seen Meski, replied in the negative. The man in the yard seemed to act funny and soon hollered to some people upstairs and evidently tried to make them understand to hide or cover the still. This aroused the suspicions of the local men and they went into the house. Upon entering the kitchen they saw a private still which was making real “moonshine.” The still was located on the stove and was made of copper. It was ' about 20 inches high and 12 inches in diame- JETTY AND HER BEAU Before ' i the garage | { tiscated ter.

This is the first still to be found in Berlin. The New Britain police upon look- ing over the still said it was one of the best they had ever seen. Meski however, was not found. Meski’s Third Offense. The raid conducted on the Kilby House last night was Meski's third offense, he having been found with liquor in his possession on two pre- vious occasions. Meski has been manager of the place for about three months and is not the first prop:i-tor of the place to be arrested or raided for selling liquor of an intoxicating nature. copper into a The Church Notices St. Paul's Catholic Church—Masses will be conducted at 8 and 10 o’clock.

Burton Honor- ed—Items. The Aairdom theater, long idle, has been purchased by the Neri brothers. The place was owned by Thomas Cafferty and was closed when the cold weather ‘set_in, it being an oven air picture place, It was built the latter part of last summer and did not run any great length of time. The sale price is said to be upwa#ds of about $2,000. The place is situated in a good location, but the support of the townspeople evidently was lacking. Nothing definite has been planned by the new owners but they expect to ha"e several changes made before tr' 2 summer. It was at first thought that a bowling alley would be made out of it, but this will probably not be carried out. A dance hall, one that will be capable of holding a greater number than the Grange Hall, is be- - planned. A complete new floor will uave ta be built, as well as a roof. { There is no floor nor roof on it =t the present time The theater has a depth of about 80 fcet and a frontage of some 30 feet. A plan of having pic- tures half of the week, and the re- maining days devoted to dancing will in all probability be carried out. This will relieve the monotony of pictures all of the time, or dancing each eve- ning. First class orche:iration music will. be given the dancers: 2 It will take a good deal of money: to _fix the place inio shape. A new pic- ture machine will have to be pur- chased and the booth will have to be built. This will necessitate making one fireproof, which is required by the state law. . Harley C. Seaver. Harley C. Seaver, better Rnown as Colonel Seaver, died at the home of his damghter, Mrs. John Pease of Ca- nal” street, yesterday afternoon. Mr. Seaver was 74 years of age. He had been sick for some time, having been taken down in October. He was born 1 at Clairmont, New Hampshire, and had been a resident of Plainville for about 12 years. He served in the Civil war. He is survived by three [diughu\rs and one son. They are, Mrs. Johp Pcase, Mrs. Will Waldo of Rayalton,; -Vermont, Mrs. Lee:Waldo of West Clairmont, New Hampshire, and Heury Scaver of Woodstock, Vt. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 0 o'clock from the home. Reév. James M. Tranmer will ofticlate. Burial w{ll be in the West cemetery A delegation from the Brock-Barnes post will attend. Freight Situation. With the completion of the new freight house at New Haven which had been under construction for sev- eral months, the freight situatipn in Plainville will be changed to some ex- tent. This new house will change the présent schedule of freight trains that run through the town. There have been about 16 trains daily pass through from Northampton. This niinber has been reduced to eight. Wiith the new house, all freight com- ing from Northampton will go over the New Haven line, by way of Hart- ford and Berlin, instead of the Plain- ville branch. The greater part of the freight handled here will be local. The freight hands at the local sta- tion have been reduced. _ No Factory Work Yet. Almost every day brings rumors to the effect that the long closed Stan- dard Steel and Bearinga plant will open soon, which always turn out to be more or lcsa streoi talk. Some have the assumption that with the opening of the Ford plant at De- troit, the local factory will resume work. This is not so. Of course the Standard Stecl had been making bearings for the Ford Tractors, but in all rrobability the plant at Phil- adelphia will take care of that sup- ply. In case the local place does open up, work will be resumed with only small units of men at a time. The previous force of almost 1,200 employees will not be necessary.

Bosfon ath- letic association, the scene of its annual indoor games from the me- chanics building for the first time ix more than a quarter century today found labor troubles interfering with the installment of its running track at the Boston arcna. union carpenters at rates demanded would cause conflict with employers many of whom are members of the club and hiring non-union men would mean taking sides with the employers, ihe management of the games enlisted club members and students of nearby col- leges us volunteers to install the track sections.

Bird Hunting Hog Owned by Louis- iana Huntsman Suffers Breakdown. Natchez, Miss., Feb. 5.—The famous bird hunting hog owned by Tuckelr Gibson, widely known Louisiana huntsman, has suffered ‘‘nervous prostration” and is in a serious con- dition, according to its owner who recently brought the hog here from Louisiana to train for the Springfield trials. According to Mr. Gibson, after the field trials in which he felt as- sured his porcine phenomenon would mak good in competition with dogs entered, he had intended ex- in vaudeville and with this end in view had secured a number of birds to be employed in the act. Mr. Gibson left home for several days, leaving the birds in a cage. On his return home he found the porker had located the birds and had been “pointing” them contin- uously for three days and nights. The intense mental strain together with the fact that the hog had not eaten during that time, he said, brought on a ‘“‘general collapse.” WIRES CUT IN BELFAST.
