“ DANIELSON Two decisions of local interest have just been handed down by Judge George E. Hinman, who is presiding in the superior court for Windham county at Putnam during the March term. v In the case of Clinton Shippee vs. Harley 8. Place; East Killingly par- ties, Judge Hinman's ‘finding is for the plaintiff, who brought suit against Mr. Place to recover for the value of number of cords of weed :hfi“he claimed to have sold to Mr. Place. In the memerandum of decision Judge Hinman says: “The sole con- tention in this case as presented is whether the defendant purchased of the plaintiff 100 eords of wood, as elaimed by the defendant, or all of the wood on the plaintiff's lot, as contendeq by the plaintiff. > “The testimony of the plaintiff and the defendant is so irreconcilable that the principal question hecomes one of credability, considering the testimony as to the bargain itself, the situation of the parties and the conduct of the defendant in relation to the removal of much of the woed as he had caused te be removed. It is found that the defendants purchased all the wood, which by cheppers’ measure, amount- eq to 157 cords at $5 per cord—$785. Credits of $382 are claimed and ad- mitted leaving a balance due of $503, for which amount judgment may be entered for the plaintiff,. with his costs.” g In the case of Peter Chabot of ‘Wauregan, formerly of Danielson, vs. Bamuel C. Harris, of Brooklyn, Judge Hinman's decision is in Mr. Chabot's lavor. . in deciding this case Judge Honman says: “The sole question at issue is the amount to be recovered by the plaintiff for board and care of de- fendant’s horse, from May 7, 1918, to December 28, 1918, The defendant is not bound by acquiescence (implied by his silence) in the notice given him that the price would be $1 per day nor by his failure to direct or agree as to the manner in which the horse ehould be kept since the ownership of the horse was deemed by him in dis- pute until judgment in Chabot vs. Hari 2895, The manner in which the horse was, in fact, kept was not unreasonable under the cireumstances, but the rea- sonable worth of the care and feed, furnished by the plaintiff, was not large as that of a horse kept in a liv stable and fed for use. One hundred and 8fty dollars is a rea- gonable price for such hoard and care for the period named.

Friday an alarm from Box 56 called he Ao depart- ment fo the lower end of Broad street to combat a fire at what is known as the ‘Paine house, leeated in a lane leading easterly “from Broad street. The heuse is ocoupiéd by Leon Bhip- pee. A chimney fire started the trou- ble and the roof was ablaze at the time the fire seemed most threaten- ing, but the fire was extinguished be- fore it had caused damage amounting, it was later estimated, at net more than $50. / James Riley 77, veteran of the Civil war, died at his home in Cen- ter street. Mr. Riley, whe wes a col- ored man, had been a resident here for about half a century and had been in failing health for several - years. Little is known here as to his early history. At times he claimed that he was a native of Australia and at others that he was born on a vessel plying between gouthern ports and Boston and on which his mother was employed. as a’stewarde In any event the reco December 30, 1364, he enlisted at Springfield, Magss., as a member of Company A, Fifth Massachusetts Volunteer Cavairy, and with this later famous organizatien he saw hard service toward the close of the war. Some of his narratives of experi- ences on the battlefield were thrill- ing, including his best loved story of how the colors of his command were shot out of his hands several times during the course of one action, to be raiseq up each time and carried on. Prior to his enlistment he had been employed in Springfield as a waiter. During his long residence here Mr. Riley became known by about every- one, He wag employed for years at one of the local lumber yards as a driver, but in recent years, as his age advanced, he gave his time to do- ing light labor, which included- many odd jobs. Mr. Riley leaves his wife. Funeral serviceg for James E. Blan- chard were held at his home in Day- ville Friday afternoon; Rev. William Swainson of the Congregational church at that place officiating, Bur- fal was in Dayville cemetery. The bearers were Ernest, Newton and Leon Blanehard, Edward Budleng, Samuel Babbitt and Frederick Mil- ler. Louis E. Kennedy was the funeral director. A funeral service for Mrs. George Whitman was conducted at her home at the Glen Manning farm, near East Killingly, by Rev. J. T. Edwards of the Baptist church. The body was placed in the receiving vault-at West- fleld cemetery, The bearers were William Whitman, George - Whitman, Arthur Whitman and A. C. Beatty. Louis E, Kennedy was the funeral di- rector. \ It now seems likely that the case of Gertrude A. Wardell vs. the tewn of Killingly will come te trial in the superior court at Putnam Tuesday, March 30, tentative assignment for that day having been made on Fri- day. The case is eme in which there is a vast ameynt of interest through- out the town of Killingly, and, it is stated, a majority of the teachers in Killingly’s schodls will be called as witnesses, Trial of the ease i expect- ed to eccupy from twe to three days. It wag stated Friday that the new state read between Dayville and Goodyear, just freed from the winter's snow and ice, does net promise to stand up well. Seleetman James Ba- eon said Friday afternsen that it shows signg of erumbling anq he does not believe that the road is going to stand up well under the heavy traffic that it will be ecalled upon to bear. The road was completed late last fall, July 28-August 2 .are anneunced as the Chautapqua days fer Danfelson during the eeming summer.

Jordan, admr., vs, Charles Como, brought in a_ verdict for the plaintiff te recover damages of $600. The case has been on trial here since Tuesday and has attracted much at- tention. The plaintiff brought suit to recover damages in. the interest of the estate \of his father, Millard F. Jordan, of Danielson, a state road repair foreman, who was killed en the aft- ernoon of March 13. 1919, when he was struck by an automobile owned by Charles Como of the town of Plainfield and driven by one Albert Gordon of the same town, the accident happening on the state highway at a gravel pit Just outside of the village of Dayville on the route to Attawaugan. Charles L. Torrey and Charles E. Bearls were counsel for the plaintiff, E. L. Darbie of Danielson and Brown and Perkins of Norwich representing the defendant. % Fellowing the court’s charge to the jury, matter on short calendar. were taken up at Friday's session of the superior court. Cases were assigned for the com- ing week and then a number of uncon- tested divorces were heard. Katareyna Stengowski of Volun- town. formerly of this city, was given a decree, on the ground of adultery, from Joseph Stengowski, whom she married in Lawrence, Mass., in Octob- er, 1005. Mrs. Stengowski charged that her husband deserted her in 1908 and went to live with another weman, in Lowell. Mrs. Stongowski testified that her husband ehanged his name when he went to live with the other womanend that, after a period 0f nine months, he was arrested, tried in a Lowell court and sentenced to serve two years in the house of correction at East Cambridgs. Mrs. Stengowski's’| elaims ag to her husband being im- prisoned were supparted by a sworn reeord of his imprisonment. Mrs. Stengowski's brother testified in her behalf.

For more than a vear previous to the separation Nee couple had lived with Mrs. Bromley's parents in Attawau- gan, the hushand testified and he had worked and supported his wife. After three weeks before Christmas. 1914, Mrs. Bromles went to stay in a separate room from the one they had been occupying. Mr. Bromley said, and he further testified that she would not answer questions he asked her or speek to him at all. He knows of no reason for such actions, he said. He finally left and went- to Plain- field to work, later going to Worcester and still later he returned to this city. He had tried to induce hiz wife te come and live in a heme of their own, but she persistently refused, de- claring that she would not leave her mother. The plaintiff caused a ripple of spe- cial interest when he deelared, In answer to a question hv Judge Hin- man, that he would not speak to his wife now if she spoke to him. He gave as reasons Tor this that he had tried In vain to get her back and had since learned that she had (said she hated him. “T don’t see v\at T married him for; T hate/ him,” Mrs. Nera Cotton of Putnam testified Mrs. Bromley told! her a!“ane time, this after the Brom- levs had separated.
