TO Fight THE
FOUNDRYMfN

All the iron firms of the city are now
on the unfair list of the trades council
on account Of the "open shop" policy
announced by the foundrymen's asso-
citation. They are now working nom
union men. Progress in the formation
of an iron and machinery mems coun-
ell will be reported at the next meeting
Of the trades council. BY this method
it is thought the iron foundries and
machine shops may be fought to better
advantage. The plan is to have the
various unions of iron moulders and
workers affiliated in a council.

THIEF

NEEDING A PHILADELPHIA
LAWYER TO UN1AvEL-0REY
HORSE AND A PINTo MAKE
TROUBLE,

How old is Ann and who swiped
the horse?"
The first part of the question is
easy compared to the Chinese puzzle
that has been passed up to Justice
Stocker. A pinto horse. a grey horse.
two innocent parties and six more or
less accused men are mixed in q
tangle.
In the first place, there have been
a dozen or more horses stolen and
the officers suspect that an organized
band is doing the work. The ring
leaders are supposed to be one Scho-
mers and a negro named Barrows.
The former has left for parts I'M
known. but the negro is a guest of
when a pinto horse of one Mullins
was stolen from the range This ami
NAL was traded for a grey horse to
a Mr.. Carroll, the complaining wit
ness, by Schomers. This grey horse
was then transferred to John For
roster and Frank Wilson.
Mullins found his horse. the pinto,
in the possession Of Carroll and took
1t away.
Plot Dsspens.
Carroll then got busy and traced
his horse. the grey. to the barn Of
Wilson and Forester. He claimed
the animal, but another Wilson,
Charles, claimed the horse and refus-
ed to give it up. Carroll went for
a deputy sheriff. He was gone about
10 minutes. Exit horse. Charles
Wilson placidly told Carroll that he
had sold the horse and. slapping his
pocket. said: I've the money here,
too"
Then Carroll had to locate his horse
again. 1t was found in the possession
of Robert Splain.
Forester and Frank Wilson had a
hearing before Justice Stocker yester-
day. The defendants attempted to
show that they bought the animal in
good faith. Barrows will be tried to-
morrow. The officers made a good
Job of 1t and arrested Splain too. In
case the court finds that the horse
was stolen and that Forester and
Wilson had a hand in 1t. Splain will
be held for receiving stolen property.
Left without Notice.
There has been crooked work some
where. This Is supposed to be shown
by the fact that Schomers and
Charles Wilson left the country with
out warning the sheriff Whether all
or the parties are mixed up in a gang
of horse thieves or not is a question.
There is a pretty general belief that
FORESTER is innocent of any hand in
the transaction. He recently bought
into the Wilson stable, and takes the
trouble very hard.
How old is Ann and who stole the
horse?"

A WORD ABOUT THE GENIAL SHERMAN
 MERCHANT.
 Few men in this section are as well and favorably known as is the subject of this sketch, the genial merchant of Sherman, William B. Hawley, who numbers his friends by the hundred. A man of kindly spirit and unostenta- tious bearing, he has done great deal of good of which the world has no knowledge. In all lines of public i'm provement he is recognized as a leader, his time and means being freely given to aid any worthy work. Religious enterprises have been especially fos- tered by him, but he appreciates ben eticial movements of a secular nature. MT Hawley comes of good Colonial stock, and his great-grandfather, Dr Elijah Hawley, was prosperous physi- clan of the town of Monroe. John Somers Hawley, our subjects grand father, was born and reared in that town, receiving a common school edu- cation, and in early manhood engaged in farming and peddling. He married Miss Rebecca Beers of Stratford, and had three children: Sylvanus, Will liam B. and Burton. The late William B. Hawley, the father of our subject, was born in 1901 in the town of Mon- roe, in the same house which had been occupied as residence by his father and grandfather. He learned the wagon-maker's trade, which he follow ed successfully during the greater DOT tion of his life, and on removing to the town of New Fairfield he built a carriage factory, which he conducted for a number of years. In politics he was a democrat, and he took all active part in local affairs, holding numerous | town offices in New Fairfield. He married Miss Mary Trowbridge, daugh ter of John Trowbridge Ia well-knowr farmer of New Fairfeld) and his wife Sarah (Osborn). They had four chil dren, of whom our subject was tht youngest: Rebecca married Dr Ruby Lorinda is the widow of Orin Winton and Munson married (frst) Sarah Nc Lean and (second) Caroline White MT Hawley, our subject, was born Sep tember IT, 1888, in the town of Nev Fairfield, and during boyhood he SC cured a good practical education il the local schools, although his attend ance was interrupted for about two years by illness.

employed at carriage making in his fathers shop, but at the age of 26 he purchased a store in New Fairfield from Stephen Hopkins, and this he conducted for one year. He then re- moved to the town of Sherman, and established a general store, which he has since carried on successfully. Dur ing the last year of his residence in New Fairfield he married his first wife, Miss Cornelia Northrop, daughter of 8 well-known farmer of the town of Sherman, Emory w. Northrop, and his wife, Sarah M. (Osborn). In 1871, about five years after his marriage, Mrs Hawley died, leaving no issue. Later our subject married Miss Flor ence Jackson, daughter of John and Jane (Jarvis) Jackson, of Sharon, Conn. Two children were born of this union: William T. and William J., one of whom died at the age of five months, and the other when a year and a half old. In early life MT Hawley was a supporter of democratic principles, but since the close of the war he has been staunch republican. His political career may be said to have begun when he reached his majority, and he was then elected town clerk in New Fair. field, and his popularity at that date is shown by the fact that he was kept in that position with the help Of both parties, for six years, or as long as he remained in the town. In 1874 he was elected treasurer of the town of Sher- man, and he has ever since held that off1ce In 1891 and 1893 he was chosen to represent, the town in the State Legislature. His influence within the limits of his own town is strongly felt, and he has cheerfully and faithfully borne every burden which the conf dence of his fellow townsmen has placed upon him. He is deeply inter- ested in religious work as member of the Congregational church, and his influence for good is strongly felt in the community.
