His horse fared not so well < and went right into the deep trench Bailey after a while got some hell and then the people at the car barr were notified and one of the wreckint outfits was sent along. It was neees. sary to rig tackle and hoist the ani- nal out of the deep trench. The horse must have been in this unpleas. ant predicament for fully half an houi and it was stated last night that tht animal was somewhat injured, Some of the milk was spilled, and altogeth- CT it was a decidedly unpleasant ex, perience for MT. Bailey. MT Bailey says there were no danger lights al the opening in the street and other; say that during the night two rec lights were seen there. Elmore s.

Southington, Dec. 3O-John Wright, who was arrested yesterday for bur- glarizing the Plantsville depot, the homes of George Meserole and Fay Curtis, was given a hearing before Judge Thomas Welch this afternoon. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was bound over to the superior court on bonds of $1,000.

 The changes in schedule of etrains on. the local steam road will make great deal of inconvenience to the Southing- ton public. As 1t stands now, there will be no train from S:S5 a, m. until $40 p. m. No mails will come to town from early morning until night. Local business men look upon the change with great deal of dissatisfaction, as their business will probably be injured somewhat by the new regime. It is the intention of the officials to make the Northampton branch a mere freight road. It will make more liberal us age of the trolley which will be much more economical for the road.
 The new eight-hour law respecting telegraphers will mean the addition of another telegrapher in town. As their hours on duty will be rather short they will probably be askedsto do other work, such as billing ar the freight depot or some other such work.
 The crossings in town will not be blocked any longer by freight trains if Borough Sheriff Duncan has anything to say. Sunday he ordered the con ductors of trains to keep clear cross ings and with the order came severe reprimand.

servatives, will vote to see who shall con-
troll the little city of Huntsville for the

about ten days ago in which it was stated
that the bitterness of the fight had pre-
vented either party from nominating a
ticket and how the city recorder fled to
the hills to prevent the recording of an
independent ticket
Now comes the finale. At the two cleo

lots for all voters, but there will not be

the fiercest battles of the ballots ever
witnessed in UtaA. Realizing that they
could not get the nominees of their choice
