So frequent became the custom for
matters of various shops to order a keg

it of an afternoon, that not only half a
dozen wagons, but the horse cars as well,
brought the kegs from Danbury, day af-

near the groves where the beer was
drunk. The matter had become so open
that complaint was at last made to War
den Dimond and his notification caused
the horse railroad to refuse to carry any
more beer, in bottles or kegs. But the
wagons continued to run, until, last week,
James McNiff left keg near the o. Ben
edict shop. An arrest by Sheriff Doran

claimed that beer bought in license

surprise no one if strong effort to carry
the town for license should be made at
the coming election. 1t is doubtful if it
is successful, however.
