State Game Wardens Smith and Footil were in Bast Hampton and placed Frank Boyce of that place un- der arrest for setting snares for deer and for hunting on Sunday. Judge Donahue, who listened to the case, fined the accused $39. Many snares, made of heavy wire, such as is_used by the telephone company, were found near his home. The wire was sus- pended about head high between two trees and as the deer walked under- neath his head went into the mnoose formed by the wire and when an at- tempt was made to get away the noose would tighten and strangle the animal.

Mr. Caswell thought that at least 75 pupils would take the course. The machine tould be purchased for $50 while the rec- ords could be bought for 75 cents or a dollar. It would be necessary to have at least three or four Zood records sc that a comparison could be made. The course should be elective as those that took it would put more time into it and be more interested. The matter was turned over to the library com- mittee. Dr. Guild then took the chair and the minutes of the last meeting were read and accepted. The secretary stated that the town of Chaplin had refused to pay for the tuition of the Chappel children at the North Windham school as they ousht to attend the school in the town. Mr. Chappel thought that his children should be allowed to o to the Wind- ham school as it was nearer his ho: than the Chaplin school. The matter was referred to the transportation committee with power. Russell Chappel asked for permis- sion to coach a basketball team in the high school gymnasium. The matter was thoroughly discussed and as t using of this gym for different pur- poses comes before the membors of the board on numerous occas t was thought best that some com H ghould have the matter in ha | they could be consulted in the maits Consequently this was given to .2 committee on building and repairs for all_time. The matter of bonding the teams that transport the children to and from the town schools was again di cussed. It was thought advisable to have some backing in case of accident in a runaway or any other way in which the pupils would be liable fo injury. It was voted that the secre- tary get the coinion of the town cour sel on the matter. The bills were then read and voted paid. 1t was learned at the meetinz that one, of the two mandolins which the town purchased some time ago had Dbeen stolen from the school some time last summer. It is understood that the mhtter had not come up before the board on any previous occasion. Shot a Fox. Arthur T. Kelley, John Nickols, L. A Barnes and H. H.

The general fund has grown to $9,947.15, an increase of $377.20 dur- ing the vear. The total indrease of funds during 1916, was $1,116.95. Eight additional lots came under the pro- tection of the perpetual . care fund during the past year. The Westfield Cemetery association has been building up its funds for years. Lots that receive attention as the result of such attention being provided for in the perpefual care fund have the effect of making the cemetery grounds among the best kept in this section of the state. GRAND LIST $4,256,645 Assessors’ Figures Show Increase of $146,861 Over Last Year. gures compiled by the assessors of the town of Killingly—Charles B. Hutchins, Willam P. Kelly, Arnold P. Rich—show a grand list, just complet- ed, for 1916, of $4,256,645, an increase over the figures of the roccding year. The figures given herc for both 1915 and for 1916 are as they are filed by the assessors, and before going to the board of relief. As revised by the members of the board of relief, Killingly, taxpayers paid during 1916 on a list that totaled $4,062,478. in discussing the new list, Mr. Hutchins pointed out _details ~ that show that the figures on the list just completed in reality show an increase. of approximately $160,000 over last year's list. e The increase in the grand list means of ecourse, that Killingly's in- come from taxes will be greatér in 1917 than it was in 1916, for the tax rate remains the same—Ii4 mills. The trend of Killingly's grand list will ‘continue to be upward for the next few years, it s predicted, in view of the rapid industrial expansion now underway in town, and there are those who are inclined to believe that it will touch the $5,000,000 mark in the next grand list completed. This is indicated by building operations now underway or announced to be witness £aid, and he continued to call upon her nightly for a period of two vears. At the time he was employed as a dav laborer. He could read and write the Italian language, but could not read and write English.

Lit- tie copy books that were u#d during these study periods were introduced in evidence. Sent 1000 Kisses. That Feters was an apt pupll was demonstrated a little later in the trial when some of his letters to Miss Longo were read. These missives in- cluded endearing terms and profes- sions of love and one, written from Italy while Peters was on a visit to his parents, in 1911, contained ths line: “I swore to be vours and, if I don't die, T will be!” By mail also came 1.- 000 kisses. “Your sincere lover,” pre- ceded his signature in another letter. Employed in Nerwich. When she first knew Peters, the wit- neéss testified, he was living witi his brother, Michael, in Danielson. Later heghad left Danielson and was em- pi®ed in Norwich and Jewett City and at Moosup and Washington, R. L. He came to call only on Sundays, or every other Sunday while at Norwich. Talked of Marriage.™ At diffcrent times they talked of marriage. Miss Longo said shs had accepted Peters' proposals of marriage and further stated that there were no quarrels or misunderstandings between them. They exchanged gifts each Christmas time and on birthday anni- versaries and she displayed two sets of furs. a watch, bracelet and rings, in- cluding one diamond, that Peters had given her. A Good Witness. Miss Longo proved an alert and very capable witness, uncommonly so, tell- ing her story in a straightforward man- ner and with great clearness. 1 She stated that she had been willing to marry Peters and that she had cared great deal for him. It was later brought out that she remained at home three months after her friendship came to an end with Peters, being aiffident about appearing out, reéalizing thot her friends knew of the broken engage- ment. Lover Remained Away, Upon cross-examination by Attorney Allyn L. Brown, Miss Longo declared that she never had quarreled with Pe- ters and that his leaving her came as a surprise and a shock. He had re- mained away from her home for sev- eral weeks and when her mother had Zone to Moosup and talked witl: him, he told Mrs. Longo that he wanted no more to do with her daughter. A let- ter was introduced, which she had written to Peters, asking if what he had told her mother was a joka. but he had taken the letter and written on the back of it that it was no- joke, mailing the missive back to her. This was early in_ April last vear. their marriage day having been set for just after Easter, 1916. Instiitution of the suit followed. The Mustache Episode. Mr. Brown inquired if Miss Longo upon the occasion of a visit of Pe- ters to her home about a vear ago, had not made fun of mustache was srowing, much to his discomfiture. for other young ladies were present. Miss Longo said that there was some ban- ter about it, but she did not coreider the matter serious and later decided that if Leo wished such adornment she would not object. The mustache came in for further mention during the day’s proceedings and was the cause of some amusement, the defendant contributing a wide smile. Miss Longo denied that she had treated Peters coolly after the mustache episode or that there was any, even the slightest estrangement, on her part at any time. The defence in the case is that the argument to marry was mutally abro- gated, on or about March 1, 1916. Apartment Had Been Hired. After the noon recess Mr. and Mrs. W= W.

He discussed the mustache episode and caid that thereafter a feeling of coolness seemed to spring up on Miss Longo's side; that when he want to call at the Longo home there was lit- tle conversation: that he was left rauch to himself and his own devices and that he finally tired of this and _stopped calling. ~He admitted his willingness to marry Miss Longo during the time he had been friendly with her, but now, that she had brought him into court, he no longer cared to do so. Court adjourned after hig direct ex- amination. The case will be resum- ed this morning when Peters undergo cross examination. SPITE FENCE REMOVAL.
