A BRIGHT FUTURE,

The rebuilding of esNew Milford,
Conn, is a striking testimony OF the
pluck and enterprise OF It's cltlzens.
In May, 1902, fire destroyed the bust
ness portion of the place, but before
the ruins were hardly cold, plans were
being matured for rebuilding, and SO
well has the work been carried on that
the burned buildings have been re,
placed by new structures of brick and
stone, of modern architecture. NOT
content with restoring the city, the
citizens have formed business associ'
alton for the purpose Of securing the
location of new Industries there, and
are offering exceptional inducements
to manufacturers in the way of free
factory sites, abatement Of taxes, ETC.,
as we'll as the advantages OF cheaI
power afforded by the plant of the New
Milford Power Co. With it's progress
i've business men and natural advan
tages, there is every reason to believe
that New Milford has a bright future

tired of being hunted by officers and
would face the music. lie knew he had
done wrong, and for weeks he has been
going about the country, and every time
he met a policeman or officer ne expected
him to nab him and take him TO jail.
This has been such a wear and tear on
his nerves that he could stand it no
longer and gave himself up.
Harry TraVers got into trouble here
several months ago. He drove a wagon
for a grocery store on West Douglas
and it is alleged that he kept more money
than was coming 10 him. He suddenly
disappeared from Wichita and went to
Kansas City and secured board and room

Emil Werner Would Have Re-hearing
of Damage Case.

Emil Werner filed motion in the dis
trict court yesterday for a rehearing of
the damage case in which he is the plain
tiff and the Frisco railroad is the defend
ant. The case was tried in the district
court and a verdict was given by the jury
in favor OF the defendant May 13. Mr..
Werner asks that the verdict he set aside
and that a new trial be granted. The
motion sets forth ten reasons why the
case should be reheard: Irreguarity Of
the proceedings of the jury, misconduct
Of the prevailing party, that the accident
or surprise could not have been guarded
against with ordinary prudence, errors in
assessment in amount Of recovery YER
