 The third place where liquor was found was at Sprague's, near the rall- road, the haul consisting of ale, beer, whiskey and gin. Other places were the hotel run by John Clune on Park avenue and MT. Cowles on the same street where quantity of all kinds of liouor was found. The last call was made on James Morgan, who conducts a shoe store in Clunes building on Burnside avenue. About one hundred bottles of ale, two dozen bottles of la ger, one gallon of gin, the same of Whis- key and 1S2 empty beer bottles were found there.
 Secretary Thrasher when seen by a Times reporter said he guessed the residents of East Hartford do not go dry" He also said that complaints had been made to him from prominent resi- dents of the town for some time and at last delegation met him and asked him to take some action in the matter.

TO BE TRIED FOR MURDER.
Ceses of Martin and Pitts 10 Come
Up MT Griffin Next Week.


Griffin. CO, Jan 2i--Judge Reagan,
adjourned spalding Superior Court this
afternoon until Monday morning at 8
o'clock. The civil docket having been dis
posed of the criminal docket will be taxi
en- up then and it is probable that the
cases Of the state VS. G. A. Martin, for
murder and Columbus l.. Pitts as Access
sorry will be among the first to come up.
The grand jury has just found true bills
against both of them for the killing OF
Oscar Allen at Rover, on Sept. 19. last.
The killing grew out of dispute that
Allen had with a negro in Martins store
ever an amount due him by the negro.
Martin interfered in the negroes behalf,
and hot words passed. Friends prevent
ing a difficulty at that time, Allen re-
turned next day and renewed the quarrel,
when Martin cut him so severely that he
died from the wounds a week later. 1t
is claimed that Pitts held him while Mar
tin cut him. All parties belong to rather
prominent families in their section.
