bury Last Evening"
 The Naugatuck basket ball team was
 defeated by the Company A team of l Waterbury at their armory in that city l last night by a score of 35 to F. The
 Naugatuck people never expected the
 locals to score and were somewhat sur
 prised at the showing made by them.
 When the fact that they have not held one practice together is taken into con-
 sideration it will be generally admitted that. they were not so very badly beat
 en after all. It seems that the Com pany A players, all of whom have 1 played right through the season and : had plenty of practice, should have 1 made better showing than they did. | That Company As players acted as un- sportsmanlike in basket ball as they l did in football cannot be truthfully i said, but it stands to reason that a l large amount of gas will be circulated l by the Company A winners for defeat 1 ing team that had no right to play against them until they were in better condition.
 Much excitement prevails in and about Beacon Falls in consequence of the brutal and inhuman assault com- mitted by James Sanford on his wife, last Thursday. Sanford's wife com plained to Constable Buty of Beacon Falls that her husband had brutally assaulted her by sticking fsh-hook in her breast, and that when he found he could not withdraw the hook he cut it out with his knife. Sanford was placed under arrest and was fined S5 and costs and sentenced to ten days in jail on charge of the theft of some tools from a man in Beacon Falls The assault case against Sanford will be tried in the town of Bethany. as the crime was committed in that town. It is said that some one or two years ago Sanford committed like assault on his wife by pinning her to the floor with safety pins, but at that time he was not punished by the Oxford author ities Gin which town the last named assault was committed as severely as he deserved. The Beacon Falls au- thorities intend to give the authorities of Bethany every assistance they can to bring the case to trial and have San ford punished as hard as the courts law will permit if he is found guilty. The tools which Sanford was found guilty of stealing belonged to a man named Smith, and Sanford's conviction was secured from statements which his wife made, which showed plainly to the court that Sanford was guilty.
