Dar- bie property, Main street, oposite the Evans building, to Myer Goldwater, who has, been engaged in business in Danielson .and surrounding towns for a2 long period of years. The sale was made for. Mr. Darbie through his son, Attorney E. L. Darbie. Mr. Goldwater said Wednesday that he will erect a brick building on the property in_the‘spring. The building will cover the entire frontage of the lot, about 120 feet, and will be one story in height. The building will be fitted _entirely for stores. To make way for its construction the dwelli: now on the property must be moved. The deal is the first that involves the sale of property in the business section for some time and the first for years that means the erection of new business block. At present there are no vacant stores in Danielson, bu there is a pressing demand for more Dbusiness places, which the new build- ing will fill in part. PARENTS ARE GRIEVED AT SONS’ BEHAVIOUR Lawless Boys in Town Court for Many Misdemeanors—Dwight Wilson Sant to Reform School. ‘Weeping mothérs and fathers sat in the town Wednesday morning and listened to revelations relative to the doings of their boys.and their resultant appear- ance before the tribunal. 5 Seven boys ia.suig irom 10 to 17 years of age were present to answer to a variety of charges of having in- dulged in malicious michief—and what they were charged with was onl a part of the counts that might have been filed against them, for they ad- mitted to officers and others various escapades stretching over a period last summer. Among the charges fil- ed swere breach of the peace and pet- ty theft; also cutting automobile tires. Long List of Escapades. Question were asked them, howev- er, realtive to cutting clothes lines, spilling a tub of grease at the railroad freight station, stoning the mill of the River Weaving company and Adfer Battey, the watchman thereof: ston- ing out windows in the borough hall, setting fire to the grass about the armory, stealing fruit from packages at the freight station and rolling yarn beams into the space between the freight station platform and cars standing on the siding. _ Another charge to which some of the boys pleaded guilty was stealing junk from Fred Herman, a dealer and reselling it. In short the youngsters have been having a free hand for a long time, their depredations finally becoming 50 bold as to result in clues that led to_their arrest. The boys presented were Leo Belido, 14, recognized leader of the gang, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Belido; Dwis? Wilson, 15, formerly of Brooklyn, a boy who has really been without a home here and has been employed about a stable; Harold Sipples, 15 Fred Bodo, 10; George Gay 10; Ade- lard Lasnier, 13; Fred Rondeau, 17.

In reviewing the case for Judge Woodward, Prosecutor A. G. Bill said that the Belido boy has made a bad record. In school he has been incorrigible. He was real- ly the leading spirit of the organiza- tion and Mr. Bill recommended that he be sent to the Connecticut school for boys at Meriden, which action was ordered by the court, Belido to remain there until he is 21." Mrs. Belido sob- bed pitifully and finally entered an ap- peal to the superior court, the hoy being released until the March term, under bonds of $200. Wilson to State. School. Charged with the same counts as appeared aeamns’ =il young Wil son also pleaded guilty and he was sentenced the same as Belido, his guardian ad litim, Attorney E. L. Darble, expressing the opinion that, as the boy had no home and had been sleeping in a stable, it would be bet- ter to send him where he could get an education and at the same time learn a trade. Four on Probation. Sipples, Bodo, Gay and Lasnier were placed on probation for six months, in care of Arthur G. Bill, to whom they are to report once a week. They had their parts in the series of events that brought the crowd into court, but extenuating circumstances were found applying to the cases of each of the quartet. The boys, it had been found, were troublesome in school. They were lectured by both Judge Woodward and Mr. Bill and given clearly to understand that they must do very much better or be call- ed back into court to face the possibili- ty of going to reform school. They are to report to-Mr. Bill once a week until July 21. Bodo and Gay, the least gulity of any, were evident! Into improper ways by the bad in- fluence of the older boys. Rondeau Not Guilty. Evidence in Counsel to . Briefs—Short Cal- endar Session - Friday — Woodyard May be Started for Tramps—Man Who Owned Gen. Putnam’s Plow and Saddle Dead. z In the superior ‘court hers Wednes- day, the hearing of Ellen M. Bugbee’s appeal from the board of relisf of the town of Putnam was continued be- fore Judge M. A, Shumway. The taking of gvidence was resumed. sworth, Asa M. Ross, I, 5. Davenport, Iscah Keach, John O. Fox and Victor Chapdelainé, éach osti- ‘matec e value of the property—the Putnam inn, the Quinebaug house, two tenement houses and outbuildings and land as_worth $35,0T00. J. F. Spencer fixed the value of the Dproperty at $37,500, William K. Pike, Danielson, a civil engineer, at $35,890; John A. Gilbert, Danielson, a contrae. tor and builder at $36,400. Mr. Gil- bert thought the hotel building could be replaced, new, for $20,000. Testifies as to Rents. E. C. Rogers, who in 1912 purchased the property from Mrs. Bugbee, was recalled to the witness ind and ask- ed as to the rents. He said that $1,- 920 is the rate for the dry goods store, plus ten per cent. each year of the amount of the expenditures for im- proving this store for occupancy by H. Deacon and Son, this for a period. of five years. Mr. Rogers testified on Tuesday that he spent $4504.90 _in making the changes referred to. For the Quinebaug house Mr. Rogers said he receives $600 a year rental, $288 annually for the four tenements in_ the two houses on Canal street and $480 annually for the bowling alleys in the basement of the hotel. His rent for the inn, which he conducts, he figured at_$1500 annuaily. In response to a question Mr. Rog- ers stated he was directly concerned Appeal Case—| R AR trial. you. case trial as he was liable taxes in the property.

George W. Perry succeeded Mr. Rog- Assessor Kent Testifies. Ernest Kent, assessor, testifed as to fixing the value of the property on the basis of the income derived from it.. He had interviewed - Mr. Rogers relative to rents. He said he and Mr. had agreed that a fair rental for the part used as a hotel would be $2,100 annually. He had figured from the income that the property was worth approximately $50,000, and -the assessment had been on the usual basis of three-quarters of the market Gardner, Jr, of the Quinebaus mills, where young Rondeau is employed. At this a Tecess was asked for from the noon hour to 1:30 o'clock. The hearing of the Rondeau case furnished a surprise. The boy had maintained from the first that he was not guilty; that he had not touched the tire on the Gardner machine. Belido took the stand to testify against Rondeau and admitted that he (Belido) had started to cut the tireand then went away. Eventually he ad- mitted that he’ had not seen Rondeau £0 near the machine at all. Belido Had Knife. Young Wilson was recalled to the stand and testified that he had seen Belido with a knife in his hand. He said he did not know. that Rondeau touched the tire, nor did he see him near the machine at all, though he was near the theatre where the car was parked. He said he had simply re- peated what others boys had told him as to Rondeau’s cutting the tire when he talked with officers about the mat- ter Tuesday. Another Charge Rondeau, weeping and much broken up over his plight, insisted that he was not guilty, and the court =o found him. Now a charge of cutting the tire will be filed against Belido when he appears in the superior court. The Rondeau boy had nothing to do with the other escapades the boys had been engaged in, he being really the victim of false accusations. 3 Sent to Jail. Three men were given jail sentneces at the session of court. - John Smith, intoxication and breach of the peace, was sentenced to serve 150 days. He appealed. Thomas Rourke, an old man with his arm in splints, was &iven 60 days for va- grancy. William Regan, who has been employed at Wauregan, coming from Fall River, was given 30 days in jail— intoxication. SURGICAL DRESSING DEMON- STRATION Nurse to Show Local Red Cross Members How to Prepare Supplies Mrs. A. L. Reed of the local Red Cross auxiliary announced that ar- rangements have been made with the National Surgical Dressings hospital for the visit here of a nurse Thursday, February 1, when, in the vestry of the Congregational church, a demonstra- tion of proper methods of preparing the different varieties of surgical dressings used in French hospitals will be given. This is to be an open meeting and the Red Cross workers of the Brooklyn and Plainfield auxiliaries have been invited to be present. Building and Loan Association. The continued success and well maintained interest in the Danielson Building and Loan association is in- dicated by the manner in which the shares for the third series are being taken up. The income of the organi- zation now had been increased to about $1,00 0a month and will be more than that soon, as more shares are certain to be taken. Thus in the second year of its existence the asso- ciation ~ is growing to proportions where it will be of real value in the upbuilding of Danielson. Loans are being constantly applied for, so there is no fear but that all the income can be promptly and advantageously placed, as has been the case since the society got well und y. This means more of the homes for which there is such an urgent demand in Danielson. Improving Williamsville At Willlamsville, the small and old- style dwellings that line the Main street are being remover in prepara- tion for the many changes that are to be made in the village this spring. The first of the houses was started Wednesdaty on its way to a location in the south end of the village. Wants Post Office Sub Station. ‘Williamsyille resident have peti- tioned for the establishment of a sub- station of the Kilingly (Dayville) postoffice in their village, Wwhich is rapidly growing in importance as a mail center. At present the mail is brought over from Dayville on a hap- hazard schedule, the mill teams maq- ing one regular. delivery in the morn- ing. Another delivery is mads in the afternoon—if a vehicle happens to be available. This unsatisfactory system has prevailed for years. Alma Forcier, proprietor of the store in_the village has maintained a series of call boxes for the convenience of a certain num- ber, but this ‘is not satisfactory and M.Forclarilo:;ufm-mm see the village get proper mail = ties, a move that is also favored by Postmaster Patrick Riley, of the Killingly office. Sons of Veterans’ Installation. Anderson camp, Sons of . Veterans has installed the following officers for value—$37,500. Mr. Rogers testified that he had no recollectiog of agreeing with Mr. Kent that the réntal of the hotel should be considered as $2100 yearly. Byron D. Busbee and Postmaster Alexander Gilman, as witnesses, esti- mated the value of the property at $50,000, figuring from an income basis. To Briefs. It was agreed that the attorneys should file briefs, no arguments being made. > Short Calendar Friday.

With all the prosperity, this is a pretty tough winter for the tramps who happen into this town fisuring on housin gthemselves away in the com- fortably old “pogy,” where they have found shelter @pon many occasions in the past. The pogy has seen its best —or, perhaps—worst days, for it has commenced to fall apart and is no longer habitable; that is, for anyone who insists at all upon any degree of_comfort. No more tramps are being sent to the old resort, up at the town farm. So the problem now presents itself, what to do with them. The selectmen have the matter un- der advisement. One suggestion heard is that the city establish a wood yard, where men who ask for lodging at the expense of the municipality can be put to work sawing and splitting the cord wood that is intended for the outside poor. By this means it is i tended that those who are the unbid- den guests of the community give something in return for what they re- ceive in the way of food and shelter. This suggestion will be given consid- eration by the selectmen, though there is nothing to indicate at present that it will be adopted. Hundreds of tramps have enjoyed the comfort of the old shack by the town farm in the past, but from now on it must be no more tha na mem- ory for them. Box. Corporation Officers. The Putnam Box corporation elect- ed the following officers: President, C. A. Hammond-Knowlton; vice presiden: and manager,. £ 2 tary-treasurer, William P. assistant secretary-treasurer, L. P. Law.
