TROUBLE IN CRAWFORD.
Over the Location of the Town Court

Over the Location of the Town Court
 Room.
 There is trouble brewing in Branford over the location of the town court and just at present the town Is torn with dissensions over the matter It seems that the court has for some time been held In room over s. A. Griswold's undertaking rooms on Main street in a building owned by Mir Griswold. Two hundred dollars per year rent has been paid for the use of the room for the court and recently the town board de- cided that money could be saved by fit- ting up court room In the town hall.
 It is, said that the town board has ae- cordingly fitted up a room in the town hall and that Judge zacher was noti- fled last week to move his court into the room thus prepared. The court fur- niture was not moved and Monday per sons said to have been acting under the direction of the town board secured entrance to the court room In the Grs- wold building and removed part of the furniture to the room in the town hall.
 A Branford man, speaking of the trouble last night, said that Judge Zacher had refused to move his court and based his refusal on the ground that the selectmen were required by law to provide a court room satisfactory to the judge of the town court and that the room In the town hall was not satisfactory.
 The matter is said to have been fur ther complicated by the fact that part of the furniture removed from the old court room belonged to Mir. Gris- wold, the owner of the building. Since the removal of the furniture to the town hall only one session of the town court has been held and that was held in the partly dismantled court room in the Griswold building. In the mean time the Branfordites have warm it- tie scrap going on in their midst this cold weather and are wondering when and how the tangle will be straight ened out.
