The school board of Willi- mantic held a special meeting Monday night for the purpose of taking action on the resignation of E. A.

Military Rule at South Coventry. " The residents of South Coventry are getting a taste of military rule, as men from the camp at the lake are being sent into the village to act as military pelice during the night. Wed- nesday night two men from Company L were in the village doing duty. The boys at the camp are faring well and are not complaining. Many friends of the men are contributing to their cofnfort by sending in things that will help them and bring in good thinzs to eat. The men, with the exception of Company L, most of whom live in Willimantic, are required to have passes which let them out and back into camp. Still Under Guard. Private Keller of Company L, who stabbed a man while the company was stationed in this city, is still under guard, and it is probable that he will have his courtmartial when the regi- ment zets together. The soldier who insulted one of the city officials this city and created quite a disturb- ance wili probably be tried at the same time. Brief Mention.
