 Patrons of the North Willow street trolley. cars report the presence of quail in large numbers along the rails and the birds appear so tame that they take no notice of pedestrians or vehicles except to turn to one side of the street when they see anything ap- preaching. They seem to take great pleasure in walking along the trolley rails and once in a while allow the car to come so near them before getting out of the way one would think they were going to be ground to pieces. This morning they were seen a few feet away from where Contractor Chatfield's men are laying q water main, opposite the George l.. Lilley property, going so near the men that passengers on the cars mistOok them for a brood of chickens. Many think that the birds are ones let loose by J. E. Sewell of the Connecticut Lighting and Power Co about two years ago and which at that time were so tame that by whistling he could bring them to be fed.

body was taken to Boston, Mass, for

He was married three times, and there

first wife. His second wife is dead and
is buried here. The third wife is still
living. His daughter is also living, and
she owns an orange grove in Califor-

Mr.. Kelly owned large brick house
in Dublin, with three acres of ground
attached--an equal amount of ground
on each side of the house. The house
has hall running clear through. In
his will Mr., Kelly bequeathed the north
side of the house and the south side
Of the lot to his daughter, anc the
south side of the house and the north
side of the lot to his wife. There was
an estranged feeling between the bene.
fciaries, and neither has occupied her
side since the death of Mr.. Kelly. Each
has goods stored in her respective por-
tion. The property cannot be sold sep.

years, save that one room is leased on
the daughters side by Col. Davenport,
who lives there alone.
