One horse was burned while several cows were taken from the building only at the rigk of life by the owner, Mrs. Paul Bakanis. The barn, which was located on the old Fred Elkins estate is situ- ated fairly close to the . ‘use and for several minutes it was feared that the dwelling would also catch fire. Coupled with the fact that the workers at the blaze were helpless because of the lack of water, the situation was seriously threatening until the wind veered and turned the flames from the house into the brush, causing a brush fire which kept Fire Warden Lewis A. Griffith and his- helpers busy until nearly midnight. According to Mrs. Bakanis, whose husband is employed in New Britain as a baker, she had just returned to| the house from milking at about 9:30 o'clock and was caring for her infant child when the fire was dis- covered by neighbors. Rushing lo| the barn which was blazing specta- cularly at that time, the woman was able to lead several cows to a pas-| ture and made ineffectual attempts to save the horse, which perished. Mrs. Bakanas was severely burned about the face and hands. No alarm was turned in to town| officials as a survey of the situation showed that no adequate water sup- ply would warrant the calling of | the New Britain fire apparatus. A truck, a new tractor, about two tons of hay and a considerable quantity of farm tools, besides the horse, were lost in the blaze. The fire lighted up the sky and attracted motorists from surround- | ing cities. The burning hay made the fire extremely hot and workers | were kept at a considerable distance further hampering their activities. The barn was located almost exactly opposite the old Molumphy home- stead which was destroyed by fire last fall. Constderable agitation against the town for the lack of fire apparatus was apparent as the barn burned to the ground. Neighbors of Mrs. Ba- kanas were loud in their condemna- tion of the town's policies and many emphatic remarks regarding the fire prevention situation were heard. The location of the barn made any means of fire fighting almost impos- sible as the farm is isolated from any water supply and located on a narrow road through which fire trucks would encounter much di culty in passing. No calls reached the town officials, some resident of the locality later appealing to Town | Clerk Arthur Woodruff for aid in/ subduing the brush fire which was quelled only after three hours of hard work by the fire warden and ! his deputies. House and barn were insured for ware City indicate that the revue holds a high place in amateur theatfical circles of that city.

Three pitchers were needed by the “down-easters” to break up the fine start made by the local aggregation but the superior box work of the Fast Berlin twirlers snatched vic- tory from local hands. Arrangements for a return match were started soon after the last strike-out was recorded. Local base- ball enthusiasts are much encourag- ed by the work of the Berlin squad. Dedicates Hall About 250 members and friends of the Italian Fraternal socicty gathered at Fraternal Hall, Ken- sington, yesterday afternoon when the organization dedicated its new quarters. Prominent men present in- cluded Clande W. Stevens, Henry Meming, George B. Carter, and James Fitzsimmons. Several musical selections and ad- dresses were included in t > pro- gram and refreshments were served following the dedication exercises. Annual Mceting The annual meeting of the spon- | sors of the Kensington Boys club | will be held on Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock in Legion Hall, Ken- sington.

The club has passed one of the most successful years in its history, con- siderable advancement in member- ship and financial circles having been accomplished.

Since that time the service has grown rapidly and continuous- ly; it s still being extended, Cook, Linden, Kent, and Woodland streets having been added within the past three years and the total mileage | being increased from 25 to 28.3.) During those few years the num- |bcr of stops made has grown 22 per cent. When the rural free delivery was ed, it was a notable depart- ure from precedent, and Plainville was one of the first places in the state to have the service. The first carrier was W. C. Hart, and on the day before he started his route the Herald printed the followin: “The long-expected free rural de- livery service will be an accomplish- ed fact tomorrow. Carrler W. C. Hart begins his duties at 8 o'clock in the morning, and will be heartily welcomed along the route. All is in readiness, and it i3 expected that the service will be popular and de- velop rapidly. The itinerary s as follows, commencing at D. A. Nor- ton's: West to Bohemia street, south over Red Stone Mill to Queen street, north to Lansing, west to Bishop’s corner. east to Whiting street, south to Gilbert's corner, east to Mountain road, north to Mount- ain View, north to Blossom'’s corner, north to Alderman's corner, west to Scott's Swamp four corners, south to Camp street, west to town line, east to post office.” The next day the Herald reported, “Rural Delivery Carrier W. C. Hart was heartily welcomed on his ini- tial trip this morning and made the rounds in good time.” The present route is from the post office to Hart's corner, east to Ledge road, north to Westwood park and Mountain View, through the New Britain avenue section, north on Cook street, to the Farm- ington post office. Here mail is pick- ed up for the West district and Scott Swamp and is delivered as the returns to the office here. Route No. 2 to the south and west over Redstone hill to Forestville is handled from the Forestville office. Between the two routes, more than 1.000 people are served. Clinton J. Morse, the present car- rier has served for ten years. When he came on, the auto had partly replaced the horse-drawn vehicle which the first carriers used, but now the equine has been rele- gated to the rcalm of memory en- tirely and Mr. Morse makes his rounds in a car. The receipts for the first quarter of 1927 were the largest in the his- tory of the office, being 35 per cent over those of last year, Postmaster James E. Usher said today. During the past five years the volume of business has jumped by 125 per cent or more than doubled. at this time. A full attendance is requested.

Both teams started well and it looked like a pitchers’ battle between Richtimver of the visitors and Bachman, who worked for Plainville. “Muddy” Arcari brought in Plainville’s first run, but the visitors took a lead in the fourth. Then Plainville fell upon Richtmy- er's offerings with a vengence and drove him from the hox; Myer, who succeeded him went well. Bachman, “the fleetfooted Finn, was the star for Plainville. He struck out no less than 16 batters | and smashed out four safe hits in five trips to the plate. The flelding gem was a beautiful catch by Nick Faniola in the ninth. The large crowd was treated to a fine exhibi- tion by the local boys, who are out to keep up their winning ways. Plainville lined up as follows: Bachman, Arcari, ¢; Conlon, 1b; Peterson, 2b; Wiley, ss; Downham, 3b; Tolli, 1If; Murphy, cf: Gerke, rf; H.

Plainville has responded well to the two appeals made here within the past week. A. A. McLeod, treas- urer of the Salvation Army cam- | paign, has announced that more than $300 of the $500 quota has been| raised through the solicitation of contributions. Only one factory has| been heard from, and, when reports are made by the others, the quota. is | expected to be excecded. 1 Tor the flood relief fund being| raised by the American Red Cross, Plainville residents have donated $135.75 toward the $300 acked here. It is believed that the town will go over the top in this drive, although contributions are not coming in as rapidly as Chariman John E. Lamb anticipated. Clean-Up Weck.

He was a passenger {n a car oper- {ated by Johin Smykla of Bank street. Plainville when it collided near the south end of King street with an automobile operated by Nelson Du- lcette of 119 South street, this city. I According to Motoreyele Policeman Zdgar Norton, who witnessed the ac- cident, Smykla had turned off Broad street into King street, but instead lof keeping to his right, crowded to {the left. Ducctte, who was proceed- ing south on King street, in an ef- |fort to avert a collision, turned his {car to the left but the automobiles came together head on. Smykla was {hurled against the windshield, his ihead going through the glass. He {received a deep gash extending from {his temple to his throat and bled in another car and rushed him to the Bristol hospital, where he was reported as resting comfortably this morning. Motoreycla Policeman James Burns arrived on the scene shortly after and he drove the Smykla car to police headquarters. Smykla was examined by Dr. B. B. Robbins, police surgeon, and found to be badly intoxicated. He | was released later in the evening un- der bonds of $300. It is understood that the injured man was under the influence of liquor.

He was arrested Saturday afternoon by Motorcycle Policeman James Burns on Broad street after the offi- cer had chased him some distance. After listening to the testimony, Judge Malone imposed a fine of $25 and costs. “And that's O. K. with me,” was the response made by Judge Malone in the police court today, when, af- ter being fined $35 and costs on charges of reckless driving and op- erating a motor vehicle without an operator’s license, Gerald Kennedy of Judson street announced that he would serve a jail sentence until the total of the fine and costs had been worked out. When Judge Malone informed him that his earning capa- city at the county institution would be limited to $1 a day, Kennedy stated that it would be O. K. to him. Kennedy acted as his own attor- ney and had Motorcycle Policeman James Burns recalled to the stand after that officer had testifled in the case. He asked that Burns place his hand on the Bible and answer the questions which he wished to pro- pound to him, but was informed by Judge Malone that the Bible was not used in the court. When the judge started to ask Kennedy a few questions, he forgot those he had desired to ask of the officer, and the officer was dismissed from the wit- ness stand.

The arrest was made by Motor- cycle Policeman Edgar Norton, aud Belinski was escorted to police ho:d- | quarters by Motorcycle Policeman | James Burns, who was called in by his brother officer.
