The contention of Constable Macfarlane is that what. | Datt ever he .y have said relative to the iven -the public here at the Station’ by the rallroad company was not addressed to Mr. Geary and that Mr. Geary clinched with him, after using abusive language, and then struck him on the nose. Mr. Geary's side of the affair is that the remarks of Constable Macfarlane were annoy- ing, fo passenters and that Mr. Mac- was the aggressor in the cli ncmng Mr. Geary denled in court that he had struck Constable Mac- farlane on the nose. Constable Mac- farlane contended that Mr, Geary was the eggressor in the matter. ~Four men who happened to witness the af- fair told the eourt that they did net hear much about what was sald at the time but they did see the clinching. Mr. Geary was found guilty, by the court, of both counts, breach of the peace and assault, A nominal fine ©of 31 and costs was imposed on each count. Mr. Geary who was repre- santed by Lawyer Patrick J. Danahey gave notice of an appeal to the su- perior court. The bonds were fixed at $200. Mr. Geary did not have to seek any bondsman. He produced $200 in cash to the court which the latter accepted and which will be held until the case is disposed of in-Sep- tember. —_— The Vanderman Strike.

It would be simply a question of a “waiting poli- cy.” The strikers feel that the man- agement of the Vanderman Manufact. uring_company will eventually see in the light that the strikers do. The Vanderman Manufacturing company 1s operating iis plant under such conditions as they have to con tend with and feel that the strikers are wrong in this matter and that in time conditions will be righted. The company claims that at present there are twenty-five men at work at the foundry of whom ten' are molders. The outcome of the affair is a matter of conjecture. A business man in speaking about the strike Thursday afternoon said that the company was an organization that had seen i Dirth here, had been financed by I men, that it had received its most vital force as a business proposition by the hard and most devoted work of a man whose name the company carried, the late William Vanderman, that most of the strikers were locai “boys” and it did seem as thoush some arrangement could be reached to settle the controversy. Work Brings Him Here Again. Charles Knowles, at one time one of the very efficient members of the engineering forc of City Engineer Robert E. Mitchell, is to be back in Willimantic for a while, brousht here by the work that he is doing in con- nection with the revaluation of the property of the N. Y., N. H. and H. R. R. between Boston and Hartford! At present he is in charge of a crew of surveyors who have been working on the road with Putnam as their headquarters® He was in this city Thursdey making arrangements bave his men locate here. Knowles it will be remembered did some of the engineering work in con- netion with the original block pave- ment and while a young man of a quite retiring disposition made many friends during his sty here. How They Acted. Willimantic people, that is those ‘who are not merchants or professional men, are having an _opportunity at present to see how the business men of the city behaved themselves the day they were at the annual outing of the business men of Eastern Con- necticut which was held recently at Richards’ grove on the Thames river. E. F. Whitmore (himself one of the merchants) has on exhibition in one of his show windows some photo- sTaphs which he took that day. They are very interesting and one of them shows the Chesbro Brothers, Samuel and Ernest, the latter one of Wind- ham's legislators, at a very vital feat- These are the days, and this is the weather that almost everybody plans to go some- where, and a Trunk, a Suit Case, or a Hand Bag is want- ed.
