'MANSFIELD CUT-UPS TRIED TO RING CHURCH BELL Pitched on Local Officers Who Were Hired to Stop the Annual Practice. Constable Thomas J. Killourey, who also employed as train announcer the local railroad station and De- tective A. F. Roswell underwent an exciting and rather unpleasant ex- perience in the early hours of Inde- pendence Day. The two officers were nired by O. A. Perry of Mansfield Center to put a stop to depredations which although not particularly de- structive excited displeasure on the part of the more peaceable and law- abiding citizens in years past. It has been the habit of some of the young men and boys in Mansfleld to ring the church bell in spite of repeated warn- ings from the authorities to on- tinue the practice. Which accounts for the hiring of the officers mentioned to preserve order.
