MEYER CAUGHT
He Got $25 and Costs and 30
 Days in Jail.

For some months men and women passing along Adams street mornings on their way to work were shocked by the conduct of man who lived !, in the third story of the house on the southeast corner. His object seemed to be to attract the attention of wom~ en, because he would retire from the window whenever he saw man ap- preaching. Nevertheless, he was not always sufficiently alert to escape notice In the course of time the mat ter reached the official attention of the police and watch was set on him. And then the fellow seemed to have got wind of the police, for he dropped out of notice for some time.
 The police kept up the watch. how ever, and this morning Officer Joseph Mccarthy, who has been the sentinel for the past week, was rewarded for his vigilance and he lost no time in communicating with Lieutenant De- tective Dodds, and together they ar rested the fellow. He gave his name as Charles Meyer and his occupation, cook. The court room was cleared while the case was being heard, for Officer Mccarthy and Detective Dodds had long and unpleasant story to tell of the conduct of the man during the past months. Meyer could not explain his singular behavios only to admit that it was foolish, and that his wife had warned him against repeating It. He could speak English only well enough to be barely understood. Judge Peasley imposed fine of $25 and costs and committed him to jail for thirty days.

FARMER USED GUN
Waterbury Man Shot While Fish
 ing al Cheshire To-Day.

Thomas Crane of Aver street. . young man who has many friends about town. was shot at Cheshire tlils morning by Elmer Hitchcock of that place, who found Mir Crane and six others fishing in his pond. The in- jured man was taken tu the office of Dr Dennison. after which he was placed on trolley car and brought tc Waterbury in charge of SherlM Hin- man, who had him removed to the Waterbury hospital Crane suffered much from shock and people who saw him on the trolley thought he waE mortally wounded, but the hospital physician does not consider his case serious. MT Hitchcock used bird shot and put liberal supply of IL into Mir Cranes back and lower lilnbs and some of the grains entered his neck.
 The shooting occurred about ! o'clock and created consternati0n in the quiet old town of Cheshire. All the other members of the party es- capped, but Sheriff Hinman expects to be able to locate them and has asked the local police to assist. Hitchcock was not placed under arrest at the time of the shooting, but he may be, later on and asked to explain before. a justice. It is said that he warmed. the trespassers off before opening fire upon them, but of course this evi- dence comes from the man that did the shooting or somebody else over there, for Crane has said nothing and none of the others have been lccat- ed and nobody knows what to say on the question. The farmers of Cheshire claim that they are bother ed from hunters and fishermen fcoiD Waterbury and that they have decfd-. ed to resort to aggressive measures to protect their property. Judging by what occurred this morning It would appear that hostilities have all ready commenced and people who have been in the habit of taking chances had better give the place q wide berth.

ARDMoRE LOTS.
Selling From $2o to $125, Payments
 h0c A Week.

Doc a Week.
 The activity in Waterbury real es- tate is again demonstrated by the lively demand for lots in Ardmore at the end of the North Main street car line where Grover and Laymm have sold 143 lots on their original and re- markable easy payment plan of one dollar down. then 30 cents week without interest, taxes or extras of any kind. This novel plan naturally appeals to those of small or moderate incomes, as it enables them to obtain homes or make good investments without missing the money. ln fact many lots are bought in Ardmore with money that would probably be vast ed, so that this sale of lots encourages people to save. As there are 43o lots in Ardmore there remains unsold nearly 300, many of which are as choice as any that have yet been sold. The prices range from $20 to Sl25 and this fact. coupled with the little pay ments-the easiest ever known hero or anywhere-places homes within easy redcu Ol eNtrSDouy tho Ahoteei how small his income.
 The widening and improvement of Hill street now in progress should of itself add to the value of the lots. as Ardmore has long frontage on Hill street.
 Sunday is the big day at Ardmore. as people find leisure that day to visit the lots. Saturday is another favor ite day for visitors and next Monday Q,abor Day) will give many an oppor- tunity to select lots in Ardmore. Statesmen are on the property every day and all day Sunday and will meet all visitors. Ardmore is quickly reach ed by taking North Main street car to the end of the line and walking north just one block to the board sign "Ardmore," then turning to the left into the property. It Is a proposi- tion that will attract even wider at. tention than 1t already has and Sun day and Monday will find many peo~ pie at Ardmore.

 While hiding in the fat, 619 West One Hundred and Forty-fourth street. Runyan said he made oyertures to the woman that he disguise himself fin her clothes. He bleached his hair and went to have his mustache shaved on at a barber's in One Hundred and Twenty fsth street.
 His plan was to put on one of Laura Carter's black silk robes and other feminine apparel. and so disguised leave the fiat with $79.000 in cash and leave town without fear of detection. The woman. he said. threw cold water on the plan because she feared the money would be out of her reach. She began demanding an additional $10000 under threats of betraying him to the police.

Going Slow on Alcohol.

The Majestic distillery at Terre Haute, Ind, which was equipped by the alcohol trust on a large scale, is still idle, and according to Automo- bile. there is little prospect of it's starting up in the near future The industrial company, formed by the trust, to place the denatured alcohol on the market, is said to have found that the product cannot compete with gasoline as yet Another trust plant, the Atlas distillery at Peoria, Ill.,, which was running at full blast, using 1000 bushels of corn daily in the making of the denatured product, has been cut down to 2.500 bushels a day. It is thought that the Majestic plant will be allowed to remain idle until fall.
