DANIELSON AND PUTNAM NEWS DANIELSON Today (Monday) brings the annual mesting of the borough of Danielson. Al- hough there is not a trace of partisan politics in-the matter of electing borough Mficers for another yéar, this, it is held, s not to be taken as a consideration for he avoidance of electoral duties. Cer- tain citizens stand for election and, it seems, the average voter should at least show interest enough to go to the length f voting for them, as an expression of confidence. They work throughout the whole year in an invariably successful “ffort to properly manage borough affairs. Only a wery few ever stop to thank thent Tor the the time they give and the thought and energy required to make the borough wvernment run as smoothly as it does. They serve without pay. The serwice they erform is truly chilanthropic. A citizen that is appreciative of this fact will go to the polls this afternoon, even Af it re- quires a little extra effort. and will put his vote for the single list of nominees—there s no optjon outside of ‘“writing your »en” and there seems to be little necesy y for that. After periodical appearances in the town court during the riast few months, mes Duffy was sentenced to serve a erm in jail at Saturday sion of the tribunal morning's ses- Duffy was charged vith hawing been intoxicated ard with other offenses against the law. On his sther appearances he has had charges against him dfsoosed of by the infliction of fines and costs. but patience having ceas- be a virtua' he was ordered commit- d to jail, where he will remain for a riod of 60 days. This is n_late spring season.. It you doubt {t, ask any fisherman. He will tell vou that it has heen too cold, that the water in the brooks is too high and that there s too much “snow water® in the soks to permit of real success in fishing trout. A few good strings of the o been brought in but this has been the exception rather than the ruls. Tha majority of fishermen who have gons out have come back disap- pointed—a=~ with enioty creals. Warmer weather will bring better results The suggestion that local manufactur- tng concerns, which means those within the town of Killlngly, should arrange heir telegraichic business so as to get messages on the wire at hours at which the talegraph company that serves Dan- teison and other nafts of the town has its operators on duty and not crowded with wuch other activities as to preclude thelr handMng commercial messages. hoids no appeal at all for some manufacturing con- cars. They are strong for a proposition prorounded hers some time ago and that Is that the Postal Telegraph company, not represented in this section at the resent time, be invited to establish a com- ercial office in this territory. It is held the {nvasion of the Postal Telegraph ompany’s service into Killingly would mean a sharp right about face on mervice er local concerns now understand it. To the average business man an ar- rangement under which he is requested to 31014 telegraphic messages for the conven- fence of any telegraph company does mot seem wholly reasonable. When a business man decides to use telegraphic service it is almost invariably because he desires speed. He does not like to be tied down to any Hmited perfod of sending out what he hae to say—or in getting an anawer. Tel- egraphic service has been under discus- wion in Danfelson for several years past. The time seems to have come, in the opin- ion of some who use the service, when an- other company should be invited to enter tids fleld. It has been said fn the past that competition works wonders, Possibly 8t might do that thing in this particular inetance. Bev. C, C. Tibbetts, who has been pas- tor at Uncasville, took up his dutles here Sunday as pastor of Danlelson Methodist Epiecopal church. Rev, M7, Tibbetts is a native of Syraruse nad received his early education in the schools of that city. Later he studied at Boston university ana at Syracuse university. In 1909 he filled hie first pastorate at Wickford, R. L. where he remained for five years. Fol- lowing his service at Wickford he was salled to Vernon, this state, and had charge of the chyrch there for one year. For the past seven years Rev. Mr. Tib- betts has been pastor at_Uncasville, to which riace he was sent “from Vernon. Mrs. Titbetts.,who was Miss Grace Hunt, is also a graduate of Syracuse university.

Gardner has been promulgated and citizens of Putnam are being warned that they must give their back yards, and front yards, too, if necessary, an an- nual spring overhauling and must re- move all rubbish, garbage, ashes and de- cayed matter that is apt to become a nuisance as hot weather approaches. If the warning is not heeded the yards will be cleanad by city officials and the land- lord will have to pay the bill, and per- haps a {ttle bit more. So far as known Putnam is not to have a “clean-up” week this year. The plan was tried once or twice and abandoned, as it was found that some lazy people, feeling that they would get help in cleaning up by the workers during the campaign, sat back and walted for the coming of the enthu- siasts. 'The garbage problem has again cropped un in the common council as one of the most important problems the city faces. A woman reported to Captain Delage Saturday morning that two weeks ago - | she lost a pocketbook containing $20. She thought she lost it in the raiiroad station. Jdn haif an hour she had it back in her possession. It had been found and turn- ed in at the ticket office and placed in the safe, with the expectanoy that the owner would call for it. A special session of the city court was held at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. After one case of intoxication was dis posed of, John Chrzaszcz was given a heaning on a charge of selling two gal- lons of moonshine. Through his attor- murrer to the complaint. was overruled and a fine of $150 and cOsts, amounting in all to a little over $200, was imposed and vaid. This is the man whom the police caught in an all- night session which took them into the neighboring town of Woodstock, where several jugs of liquor were found hidden in the woods. Mary Majowski was charged with stealing a ball of cotton yarn“from the Manhasset company. A witness identi- fied the yarn as the kind made at the mill. The woman told the court that she purchased a sideboard a year ago and in it ehe found the yarn but had no occasion to use it. The case was continued a week, to be disnosed o at the end of that jtime. The case of Jonn Gusuz was also continued. He is out on bond on a liguor charge.

Mrs. Marie Serra of Packer's avenue testified to seeing Castagna and Arnott at her home on Feb. 1, with others. They had been drinking wine. Castagna had Arnott by the arm upon leaving the house. James Arnott testified he had been in and about Westerly for 20 years. On the afternoon of Feb. 1 he started out to visit the home of his brother-in-law on Plerce street and stopped on his way to get a haircut. He had stopped at the home of Charles Ser- ra about 2 o'clock. He had $35 in his pocket at the time, part of which he had collected for the Mule Spinners’ as- sociation which he intended to put in the bank that day. He said he asked Serra for a drink, and he said he was there about an hour and a half. A man went out with him and toward the rear of the house, They walked to the edge of the swamp.

When asked by Attorney Fer- counsel for the state, if he ily harm, the witness said there was no fear on his part and he also asked him why he had barred the win- dows and doors at his home and he re- plied because of a robbery which had been committed in that locality the night before. On cross examination Arnott admitted drinking at the Serra house but denied that it would have been pos- sihle for the third party to have been present and strek him without his hav- ing knowledge of it. Arnott told of be- ing called to the police station Malrch 16 by Officer Kessell and of Costagna being there and said he was unable to identify Castagne as the man who hit him and could identify the man In court Friday. Arnott was asked if he did not make the statement that he had a great responsibility in life that he had a wife and family and why he made such a statement. He said he did state that he had a great responsibility and that was because he was out of a job; that was the only reason he said. Attorney Led ze, counsel for the defendant, oh- jected to such a line of questioning. The witness said he had no fear unless he had made a mistake and accused the wrong man. Ch T. E. Brown stated that Arnott told him he had been assaulted and rob- bed by an ltalian.
