WALTER GUINAN,s FIND
Digs Watch Chain with Peculiar Charm
From Potato Patch

Digs Watch-C Chain with Peculiar Charm
From Potato Patch.
While engaged in digging potatoes
from his garden at Long Till, Saturday
morning, Walter Guinan noticed some
thing glistening in the sunlight, and
making an investigation found the for
eign substance to be a watch chain,
which had evidently been buried for a
long time, much Of the chain being
green with age ana long exposure td
the damp soil; but 1T was by reason Of
the peculiar charm attached to tho
chain that 1t was the more strange and
curious When Mr.. Guinan lifted Tho
chain from theearth he noticed a small
potato dangling from it and tried to-
dislodge it. but it was so firmly at
tached he could not; he examined it
more closely and found that the chain
was almost completely Embedded In the
tuber, the latter having grown through
a small circle, or loop, and was in the
spot where a 9charm is commonly at
tached to a chain.
The links Of the chain were about the
potato nearly in it's center, and were
nearly covered one side by the tliber.
1t makes peculiar looking object and
Mr.. Guinan shows it with much interest
to his friends Ansonia Sentinel.

JEREMIAH woLcoTT ESTATE.

In the probate court Monday after
noon there was hearing on the ac-
count of the late Robert E. Merwin
as administrator of the estate OF Jere-
miah Wolcott, which was attended by
Judge Robertson in the capacity of an
expert witness regarding fees that
should be charged. Judge Edgerton OF
Derby heard the case.
The Wolcott estate was valued at
$4,000. Before Mr.. Merwfn had CON
cluded his labors on it he died. Re-
Gently A. W. Nation, administrator Of
Mr.. Merwin's estate. filed an account in
which Mr.. Merwin's fees were put in as
$2,199. Heirs Of the Wolcott estate,
through Newton, Church & Hewitt, OBJ
jected to these fees, saying they were
too high.
Attorney George r. Hall, counsel for
Mr.. Nation, called in Judge Robertson
to testify as an expert on the fees that
should be allowed.
Judge Robertson said he had been a
judge Of probate for eight years It
was difficult to say how much an adj
ministrator Of an estate of S23, 900 should
charge for his services. Ordinarily the
fees on such an estate should be from
$500 to $500 This would be where ev-
erything goes along smoothly. He said,
however, that he could think of an es-
tate Of $23,ftO in which with lot Of
trouble involved $1,000 would be too
small for mans Gees. Witness said
he had no means of knowing how much
work Mr. Merwin did IN fhn Woicoft

The estate has been in the probate
court since 1896.
