cops GUARD A TRAIN.
Take Train for Clubhouse Switch
Brought Back ON Express.

Willimantic. Sept 27.-The night OPP
orator, a young man named Johnson.
at the Clubhouse switch, a small tele-
graph office on the Highland division
mile or so west of Bolton, had an
experience last evening which gave
some work to the local police force
and more or less anxiety to the rail-
road officials, who feared holdup of
one of the night expresses, and made
preparations for it.
The operator left the station at Boil
ton to walk down to his Office early
last evening and when in one of the
cuts on the line came upon five men
whom he heard talking before they
saw him. He says he heard them say
something about a wreck, but before
he could get clear idea Of their con-
versation they saw him. He APP
preached them and they asked him
what he was doing there and he re-
piled that he was tramp and was
looking for shelter for the night. They
at once ordered him to make himself
scarce or they would kill him. He ran,
and they, he says, fired three shots,
either at him or in the air. He ran as
fast as he was able toward his station
and when he reached it locked him
self in and wired the station at Will
limantic.
At the request OF Station Agent G.
A. Gates, Lieutenant Cleary and two
patrolmen met the west bound train
which left here at 10 o'clock last
night, the captain and lieutenant being
in the cab and the other two officers in
the express car. A light engine pre-
ceded the train to Hartford. The off,
GERS were left at the Clubhouse switch
and the conductor of the Bar Harbor
express, east bound, had instructions
to pick them up and bring them to
this city.
When Captain Richmond reached
the Clubhouse station Johnson said
that he had not reported the matter
to Willimantic, but the Willimantic OPP
orator said that he did and knowledge
of the matter could have reached here
in no other way. The officers returned
on the Bar Harbor train and saw moth
ing suspicious during their stay at the
switch.

Several Cases ON the List Put Over
Until the December Term.

made two weeks ago for a grand bust

Everything on the trial list was ready
for the jury two weeks ago, but to-

temper. Excuses of various kinds
We're given for this throwdown of the
Jury and disappointing them In not
taking home a hat full of shekels at

Attorney, Bronson refused to take
the case of L. f.. Haase against Judge

count of the judge having presided at

was afraid that the style of the Judge

Mr. Bronson decided to take no
chances. and Notwithstanding that
Judge Burpee's side was ready, the
case had to go over.
The suit of Samuel Friedman
against Louis Simons for 81, 900 dam
ages for assault was settled. This
case grew out of controversy over
the right OF way through cellar. The
litigants are business neighbors on
Bank street. Simons claimed to own
the right of way through the cellar,
and Friedman claimed he did not One
day the men met while quite angry

The settlement of the case Is that
friedman shall have the right to pass

1t was impossible to obtain an out
side judge to hear the case of the Wa
terbury Republican against Charles

are DISQUALIFIED it had to go over to
