Wanted Other Dollar. About the funniest incident told in connection with Monday's ting is that in which a “deserving” citizen walked up to a promimnent no- license worker whom he mistook for a prominent license worker and said: “Say, have you got that other dollar on you now? hich other dollar license man. “The one vou told me this morning that you would give me if the town went license,” the citizen is said to have replied. He didn’t get the dollar. New Board of Selectmen. ‘oday (Wednesday) the newly elact- board of selectmen will meet for organizaticn. Hiram S.

One month from today (Wednesday) licensed saloons will be open in Dan- ielson for the first time since the last day of October. 1909, completing a two- vear period of no-license. “How many licenses are the commissioners going te grant?’ was a question frequently heard Tuesday. The last time Kiilingly had a license there were 13 licensed places in the tewn. Danielson had 11 of these. Two others were at Dayville. Very few even of the license men but agree that 11 is too many for Danielson. . On the hasis of population and under the one license to 500 people law the commis- sicners may grant 13 licenses in Kil- lingly, but this is optional with them, and they may if they see fit reduce the numbe; It is a cinch, however, that there will be at least 13 applica- ticns, unlucky though the number may How It Happened. No man in Killingly pretended to set himself up Tuesday as the possessor of the real reason why the voters return- ed such a surprising majority for li- cense—surprising to everyone. A few ventured opinions as to the cause for the flop-over, these to be taken for what they were worth, but to produce « real satisfactory explanation no man was able. Other surprising things that happened in the.voting can be ex- plained. but not this. 1f averages count for anyvthing, how- Killingly is -normaliy a license town two-thirds of the time, as is shown by the following table of re- ults of voting on the issue for the last 5 vears, including 1911, 10 of them being license vears: 1897, 126 yes: 1598, ves: 1899, 60 ves: 1900, 116 ves: 1901, 52 ves; 1902, 26 ves: 1908, 5 ves; 1904, 78 no; 1905, 3 yes: 1906, 0 no: 1907, 16 no; 1908, 40 3 1909, 19 no: 1910, 8 no: 4 ves. Killingly has an active and efficient no-license organization, though. and the issue is never to be considered,set- tled for a 'vear until the votes are counted. And, again, the license ques- tion is very similar. in a way, in Kil- iingly to a sick baby—it must be handled with extreme delicacy or re- sults s ured may be surprising.

Dealers Will Lose. in the superior court here Tuesday Judge William H. Williams' presid- ing, the case of William N. Medbury rederick Meade, both of Canter- bury, cccupied all the time, The plain- tiff ciaimed $3500 damages for damage done iis property by a woodland fire which got bevond control. April 13, 1910. Attorney Donald G. Perkins of Nor wich represented the plaintiif. Attor mney Harry E. Back of Danielson and Attorney Charles E. Searls of this city were counse! for the defendant. At the time stated, Mr. Meade, hay- ing secured a permit to burn over some of ‘his land, invited M Medbury and the laiter's son, Frank to assist him in doing the work. Going to the point where the fire was to be set the match was applied. Eventually -the fire Sot beyond control and swept over several acres of Medbury's property. The plaintiff and defendant were directly at variance as to which set the fire, Meade ciaiming that Medbury did and vice versa, and also were at odds in vs. the testimony on - the poiut as to whether the fire was started on the rroperty (adjoining) of the former or the latter. Mr. Medbury estimated the actual damage to him by the fire as 5166, witnesses estimating at $300. Edward Baker, Canterbury testified that 20 acres of Medbury's land was burned over in the fire. Only two o1 three acres of land with ‘big trees was incluged. He said that a previ- ous fire had damaged the big trees, therefore there was little damage by the fire in question. 2 Herbert Baker, Canterbury, testi- fied that the land was rocky and that the fire did little damage. Marshall J. Frink, a selectman of Canterbury. said he counted the stumps of the trees after the fire and that they numbered 40. Both the plaintiff and his son de- nied that the fire was set upon Mr. Medbury's land. For a case of relative unimportance it took much time and it did not get to the jory until 4.30 o'clock, After being out more than an hour the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. Post-Election Notes. Returns from various Windham county towns furnished little of spe- cial interest Tuesduy, although Wood- stock attracted a little attention by pulling off a stunt similar to.that in Killingly, electing a board of three selectmen that are all republicans, one of whom, running as an independent, beat out the democratic candidate. It has been deglared to be practically impossible to elect a candidate with a lead pencii on the new form of bal- lot. as the saying goes, but at least two Windham county towns have dem- oustrated this theory to be a falley. It can be done when conditions are right. Boston Paper’s Story of Dead Man’s Birthday. Some hungry space seeker put one over on a leading Boston daily Tues- day by sending in and having printed a lengthy account of the 75th birth- dav anniversary of Rev. R.'S. Butler, formerly of Woodstock. Rev. Mr. But- ler died May 12, 1910, and a part of the story that appeared Tuesday was taken from an obituary written at that time.

City Election in December. fiext political event that will interést Putnam is the city election in December, This will be the biennial election at which a mavor and a ma- jority of the council of nine members Vil be elected for a period of two ears. The Loss to Liquor Dealers. 1t is estimated by Putnam people who are undoubtedly in a position to know, that Killingly’s voting license will mean a loss of $300 to $500 a week to local liquor dealers. During no-license periods much of the liquor business from Danielson and other parts of Killingly comes to this city. Frank Cordier, Putnam'’s representa- tive among the magnates of the new interstate basketball league, will bend every effort to give this town a fast team and one that should be able to successfully cope with any of the oth- er five teams.
