Randall in Goshen, Leba- non. About this historical landmark there is much inquiry as it marks the | boundary line of ‘the parcel of land which the early settlers bought from the Indians over 200 years ago. | Deeply chiseled on the moss-covered side of the rock are the letters L. Vi M. C., meaning “Lebanon Five Mile Cor- ner.” A road was once surveyed, and laid out through that section, but was never perfected. Two cellars mutely tell the story that two dwelling houses once stood in that vicinity. One was known to be standing ninety years ago. In the Colonial Records, volume 7, page 238 is the following record of this par- cel of land and its boundary: There is in Lebanon a parcel of land | called the Five Mile Square which Is bounded at the North Fasterly corner at a White Oak tree Standing in the Farm in Lebanon and Fitch's mile by a line drawn South- Southwes* four degrees Westerly, five miles to the middle of a flat rock rising (33) prety high, graven with these let- ters L.

Says the governor in his veto concerning milestones: “I do not taink this style of memorial worthy either of the men or of splendid service purposed to be memor ized. B “The act requires the state hi; commissioner to place a stone to each miles of the main trunk line way. We have now many hundred r of trunk Bne highways which might come within the designation of main trunk line highways. Each such stone is to carry a mere abbreviation in the let- ters ‘W.

She said that all the time she was there she did mot see any of the police or the chief of tie fire department. She told of how two sailor boys had been in the store shortly before closing time to buy a soda. She became confused several times in her testimony but eventually told that ewidence of a glass utted on a window over the catch were found and that Some cizars were missing; that she had conducted the store since a vear ago last May and told the names of the predecessors, say- ing the building was built nine or ten years ago; that the insurance carried was about $3,000 for the building, stock and fixtures. She denied toat she told Officer Yering that she went home shortly before the ‘fire. Joseph Sandoro went on the stand in his own defense, He said that he had lived in Groton 30 to 33 years: owned two stores, a residence, property along the water front on which there were three buildings; that his wife conducted the business in the store; that he went home with one of his daughters shortly after 11 o'clock and was asleep when his wife came home; that he was awak ened by his wife after the boy notified ter of the fire; how he and the boys attempt- ed to extinguish the firé.

James Dugan pushed the wheel- barrow in which James Murtha rode. C. McGee tofled at the handles of another to zive Mr. Raymond a ride, and Mr. Edgarton provided the motive power that wheeled Mr. Leach over the hot and dus- ty journey. Two musiclans provided sorightly airs to revive the failing mus- cle and" spirits of the men who riutched the handles, while the attenZant crowd cheered the men on tfe drzwbridge where a feast was enjoyed.

No former county game warden has ever before so closely fol- owed up the fissermen and lobstermen and secured so many arrests and convic- tions.

BRACKETT COMPANY, BOSTO N e, T " this week end a total of mes and. costs amounting to $267.14 were imposed. The total amount collected, however was $157.14, as in several cases the fines were suspended because of extenuating circumstances and technical violations. Willlam H. Wordell, proprietor of Wordell's pavilian at Ocean Beach, was found) withshort lobstersi n his gossession. William Papinos was alsa found to have lobsters shorter than 4 1-8 inches from top of tail to the eve. Wordell and Pap- inos both claimed that tiey bought the lobsters from The G. M. Long Co. and Justice Morton imposed fines of $35 on Wordell and $30 on Papinos, but remit- ted the costs, The G. M. Long Co. was held to be not to blame as the company bought the lobstermen who brought them in and tiae short lobsters escaped their attention. Antone C. Marshall, charged with fish- ing without a license, was fined $50 but the fine was remitted and he paid costs. He had a license himself but his helper had none and the court held that he was technically responsible for the acts of his employe. Sidney B. Miner was charged with hauling lobster pots without a license. He was $50 and costs, allowed to omit the fine and pay costs. Raloh Tashea was charged with fishing without a license, but his case was mere- Iy technical and he was discharged. The arrests were made by Lewis A. Rossdeputy game warden, acting under orders of Game Warden Chappell. Mr. Chappell says that fe is recelving little support in the vicinty of Stonngton and Noank as the arrests made in those places have resulted in the mposition of so small fines that they are apparently no deterrent to violations. He proposes to turn his attention more closely to that vicinity where it is belleved tere have been numerous violations escapng atten- thon.

The prosecution brought that, through pretending to operate a grocery store, Russo identified in business with at least two persons pre- viously convicted of liquor trafficking and that the present business association of Russo and his partner, Vincent Ama- tura, was surrounded with mystery. In self defense Russo alleged that the 13 cans found in hi} possession by the police were cans which he had purchased from an unidentified (ped- dler at 10 cents per can; and that he had crated the cans and was shipping them cmpty to a business firm in New Yerk which firm allowed him 50 cents in credit on each can.
