TOWN TOPICS.
JUDGE OF PROBATE ELECT w. J.
 BEECHER.
THE PROBATE CONTEST.

In one of the most exciting contests
 in the history of the town, Tuesday, | Michael J. Bradley went down to sure defeat, receiving 34S votes to 3S1 for
 William J. Beecher It was in no sense partisan contest, although MT Beech CTS name appeared on the republican ed, although the contest Twas close to the finish. The powerful and disinter- ested arraignment of the present in- cumbent of the office by Temporary Examiner of Public Records for the State of Connecticut Charles R. Hath away had an important bearing on the result. Judge of Probate Elect Beech CT is well qualified for 1.-the place. He was born at Bridgeport, March 5, 1859, the son of John and Margaret Beecher
 During his boyhood he attended the schools near his home and his academ
 ic education was completed at Staples Academy in Easton. Having decided to enter the legal profession, he pur- and on July l, slSSO, was admitted to practice in the courts of the state. In August, 1880, The opened an office in Bridgeport, but Sin January, 1881, he removed to Newtown. In November, 1886, he was elected judge of probate and served four years. He was defeat- ed for renomination by M. J. Brad ley, who he defeated at the polls on Tuesday. In 1894 he formed law partnership with F. M. Garfield under the firm name of Beecher &y Garfield, and they are among the best known of the members :of the Fairfield county bar. While it is undoubtedly true that there are number who bitterly oppose MT Beecher for political or per sonal reasons. it is equally true that no citizen of the town has a more loyal and enthusiastic circle of friends The election result of Tuesday proves this counted on to treat all fairly in his new position, we have not doubt.
