SUPERIOR COURT Fence Posts Start Action Brought by Mary Lynch Against Lauretta M. Maine, ot al. Presiding at a session of the su- perior courf, here Tuesday, Judge Joel H. Reed Beard evidence in the case of Mary Lynch vs I‘unu.-\ M. Maine et al, Killingly parties. The basis for the suit is ownership of a narrow triangular strip of land, bordering upon an abandoned road near Killingly Center. The strip of 1and 1s 19 feet at its widest point and tapers down a pin point. 'The maximum ‘lensth of the gtrip is 111 feet. The property of Miss Lynch abutts on one side ang the property of the defendants, oce led by C. H. Heath abuts on the other side, . Mfss Lynch bought ‘the property she owns from Principal Ernest ' Ross ‘Warren, of Kllingly High school. It appeared from the evidence that the dispute over the boundary arose when Mr. Heath caused to be erected on what he understands to be the line of the Main property. posts for a fence. This line is the depth of the triangle beyond the boundary as Miss Lynch elaims it should be. Mr. Warren and George W. Perry, ivil “engineer, ‘of this city, as wit- fesses, testified that Miss Lynch ‘was shown' the boundary at the time she purchased the property of Mr. Warren and agreed to it. Miss Lynch admit- ted being shown the boundary, but de- nied that she had agreed to it. In support of the plaintiffis claim as to where the boundary should be, SIS 0020 EASILY REMOVED FOR CLEANING ' NO BOLTS Wit s s SLIDING HEARTH FITTED WITH LARGE ASH PAN EASILY REMOVED LARGE FIRE POT FITTED WITH AR R REPAIRING *popular Nk e il deeds from the land records of the town of Killingly were introduced. one of these deeds dating hack to 182 The\value of the strip of land over which the suit is brought is .small. regularlv to conduct services at the Congregational church in Goodyear, it is announced.

Back in their old home town the good peo- ple of the War Relief association al- ready have plans underwav to supply them with a splendid furkey dinner— as good &s money will buy. Wood $8 a Cord. Cord wood $8 a cord! This is the standard price now being asked for “hard” wood. and it's mighty scarce at that. Add to this figure the cost of having it sawed by power, now the general rule about town, and the split- ting cost, for few householders can or will find’ time to chop woed, and a cord of wood costs more than a ton of coal, under the price fixed by the government. Inability to men to_go into the woods last winter to do chopping and exceedingly high mates for those who did chop, taken WAtH the greatly in- creased cost of hauling it out for de- lvery are reasons why wood is sky- rocketinz in price. A local lumberman has made the swtement that a =ood chopper . can now earn $4 a day in the woods, but it is almost impossible to get men everd at that price. ) Temperature of 32 Degrese—Crops Damaged. The temperature_dropped below the freezing point in Danielson and sur- rounding towns Tuesday morning, and causing heavw damage to crops, es- pecially to corn, very little of which has been cut in this terrltory. Woodward’s store the lowest point recorded was 32 degrees—the freezing point—but from' territory within a radius of a half dozen miles Came reports of as low as 28 de- grees. The corn crop, which 1s heavy, was late in developing this vear on ae- count of the cold spring and now it has been caught In a freege before it is fully matured. : Jugt how- widespread the damage will be could not be learned Tu#s- day, but it appears to be very gomer- al and the damage will amount , to a great deal of money. There is no encouragement from Hartford on_the proposition that men in the service be allowed to come home to vote at the town elections in ‘onneqgicut _on the first Monday in Octobe This means that many Killingly men who are at Fort Terr and a considerable number of others who will be at Camp Devens by October 1 will have to forego the right of franchise. As to town matters in ‘xeneral, many of the soldiers will have few regrets hecause they cannot pgr- ticipate, but_there is more interest’ in the vote on license. Carefully check- ing up of the soldier hoys by men who are In very close touch with the li- cense situation here leads them to he- Iieve that there will be practically a 50-50 aplit between the license and no- Jicense forces on eccount of the ab- sence of the soldfer vote. For instance, it may be quite cer- tain that John Jones is a license vot- er and equally as certain that John Doe is for no-license. _There may be reasonable doubt, on the other hand. as to how Peter Pan might vote. All in all, however, the forecasters fig- ure that .the losses in strength on each side of the license question will about off-set each other. But so long as the entire voting strength of the town as, represented among the soldiers cannot be gotten to the polls, an effort will be made to have officers of the command with- Told leaves of absence from men who wish to visit their homes in town on election day, such a proposition being regarded as fair to all. Miss Lynch claims damages of $200. During Tuesday afternoon a recess was declared by the court in order that the imterested parties might have an opportunity to go to Killingly Cen- ter and view the property. The case will be resumed at this morning’s ses- sion of court, s Counsel in’ the case are Back and Darbie, and Torrey and Geissler for the defendant, John F. Carpenter and S._S. Russell for the flefendant. Theé case of James Paris, formerly in business in the Dexter biock, Dan- ielson, vs. George Foote, Southbridge, who .has charge of the property, as. sisned for trigl Tuesday, was settled fter a conference between the par- ties concerned.” This case was over the terms of a leasé. Killing Frost. | A Killing frost left destriiction over all this part of the countryside Tues- day morning and caused thousands of dollars of damage to crops. In Put- nam and vicinity temperatures as low as 25 degrees were reported, many thermometers showing readings under the freezinz point at € a. m. Corn suffered particularly. but there also was widespread damage to to- matoes, muskmelona and many_other varieties of garden truck. County Agent B. W. Ellis estimated that near- iy half of the ensilage corn in towns hereabouts had been damaged. On some farms, favorably located, corn escaped without Injury. The severe and eariy frost means that much material that was counted upon. for use as fodder during _the comir:z cold weather season has heen practically ruined so far as feeding value is concerned.
