While the boating season has not opened
on Weston Hat, the prospects are favor
able for nearly as good a season as last
year. There is plentiful supply OF water

oppose closing aud it is not probable that
the fish commissioners will order the
stream closed in the face of so strong a

Abe Carpenter, formerly of this place,
now conductor on a Norwich, Conn,
street car, had a rather exciting exper-
fence recently with two drunken fellows
whom he put off the car. They insisted
on getting on again and, being pushed of
by the conductor again and again, they
finally rushed at him and for several mo-
ments the blows came fast. Mr.. Carpenter
Knocked one OF the rutiians down and
pulled the collar and necktie of the other
one. They both persiste ntly tackled him
and the chances are that Mr.. Carpenter
would have been badly used had not the
motorman come to his assistance. One OF
the fellows drew a pistol and threatened
to shoot the plucBy conductor.
