Wednesday Of last week.
If there we're any free traders among
the poultry raisers in this part of the
country, the recent depredations by
the Stafford society of hen lifters has
changed their views, and they are
all clamoring for protection.
Ice cutting on Lake Beauty is sus-
pended for couple of days on account
of the breaking of shaft at the water
arm Tuesday morning. At the time
of the break the ice house was more
than half filled, and with steady work
would have been filled this week.
Rev. Eugene Philbrook and Rev. @.
l.. Snow gave their stereopticon views
in the hall Friday evening to we'll
pleased and appreciative audience.
One third of the proceeds go to the
Endeavor society. It is expected that
they will give views on Scotland a
month or six weeks later.
We note with pleasure the comment
of the Holland correspondent of the
Press in last weeks issue on our new
mill whistle, and venture the hope
that it may be sounded so accurately
by the watch that all Tolland and
Wilmington may be able with conf
dence to set their timepieces by it.
Mr.. Eccles of Taftville, superin-
tendent of the Pomonah mills of that
place and guest of Gardiner Hall,
Jr., last Sunday, was visitor at the
Sunday school in the hall. Mr.. Ec-
cles is very much interested in Sun
day school work in his own village,
where they have a membership of
about $50.
Edward Dundon and Samuel Hunt
were brought to this village last We'd
nesday by Officer Louis Helm of Stat
ford Springs, and tried before Justice
W. F. Essex on the charge of stealing
chickens of Mrs. Jennie Nichols on
or about Nov. II. Attorney M. D.
O'Connell of Stafford Springs repre-
sented Mrs. Nichols. The prisoners
had no counsel and each plead guilty.
Dundon was very much unconcerned.
He said that he didn't know whose
premises he was raiding, but he
took the fowls from building that
would fall down if it wasn't pulled
down. He claimed that Hunt held
the bag while he (Dundon) went after
each armful of biddies This Hunt
denied and said he stayed with the
team rather than walk home. Dun
don admitted the stealing and told of
disposing of the poultry in Spring
field, after Henry Huden and Rose
Bassini had prepared them for mar
ket. Mr.. O'Connell made a very
short plea and asked that the court
bind the prisoners over, as the evil
dence proved their guilt so clearly.
Probable cause was found, and the
bird fanciers were bound over to the
superior court to be held in Tolland
the second Tuesday in April, under
$500 bonds, in default of which they
were committed to the county Jail.
