A case which promised much sport and
which was to have appeared to the gem
eral public In the District Court of this
place on Saturday next has been settled,
and the public will not see one Of their
town officers up for trial.
George Dickey was the complainant,
and Officer Joseph McCra was the defend
ant. Dickey had a warrant sworn out for
the attachment of the policeman's pay
and Deputy Sheriff Ray G. Huling served
the writ upon Town Treasurer Moies at
taching the patrolman's salary for Dick
ey's claim.
Dickey was employed by the
defendant to do mason work
upon lot owned by the patrolman.
Dickey claims that when he was about to
settle with the policeman the latter gave
him ~ and said that there were Two COM
plants against him and that he would
squash" them and call the matter square.
Dickev states that he did not know what
the charges preferred against him were,
and that upon visiting the highest officer
In the department the latter stated that
to bis knowledge nothing was against
him. Dickev forthwith began to look for
his remaining salary and have a writ
issued.
The legal doucment was placed In the
charge OF Sheriff Huling, who served the
papers as previously stated. The case was
to have made its appearance Saturday,
civil court day, but Tuesday evening the
policeman called upon the Sheriff and
settled all claims, together with costs.

The attention OF the highway surveyor
Is called to the crosswalk at the corner OF
Central and Mill streets, where ever since
the widening of the street the crosswalk
was left In Its former condition, about
three feet short of reaching either of the
curbstones. A miniature bridge that was
constructed by Kelley q Moriarty has
