BOX PLANT IS SOLD.
New Owners Get Benton- Armstrong
 Factory.

The Benton Armstrong Folding Box company, organized about seven years ago has been sold through Frederick r. Norman of this city to William R. Schaeffer, Minot E. Chatfield and Ed ward F Mansfield.
 The new owners will take possession of the plant about the middle of April. There will not, however, be any stop. page in the business in the meantime and it is probable that all the present help will be retained.
 When the plant was first offered for sale by MT. Norman, the fact was giy en general publicity 10 the trade of this country. and while numerous of fers were made which would have in- yolved the breaking mp of the plant and its removal from the city. the sale consumated keeps the plant in its en- tirety. and keeps the Industry in New Haven.
 It may be interesting to note in this connection that New Haven is the era de of the folding box industry of this country and at the present time is prominent in this business.
 The National Folding Box and Paper company's plant at Cedar Hill is one of the largest and best known factories in this country. The Messrs. Harvey S and F.. R. Munson who own smaller factory in the same section of the city were among the pioneers, of the fold ing box industry in this country
 The factory just sold is most mod ern and complete in every particular. and has d product capacity of about ten tons of folding boxes per day The price paid By the new owners is not stat ed.

DEER SLAYER CAPTURED.
Game Warden Takes Italian With
 Meat in Possession,

The investigation which has been carried on regarding deer stealing dur ing the last few days reached head yesterday. when County Game Warden David H. Clark, assisted by Deputy Warden Bolmer, of New Haven, ar- rested the man who had been shooting the deer, with the meat in his possess sion. He is an Italian living in a lit- tie shack in the trap-rocl quarry at Short Beach. MT, Clark had him To- cated some time previous and yester- day he and his deputy went to his hut and took him, with no resistance. while he was cutting up his quarry, and took him to the Branford lookup. He will be fried before Judge John Eads, of Branford. this morning.
 This arrest should be a warning to the Italians who. more than any oth- CTS, break the game laws through their ignorance of them It should be im- pressed on them that they cannot go out and kill everything they see in any season, Especially is this true of deer stealing. which has been becoming moro frequent as the deer are getting more plentiful In the future the laws will be enforced more strictly than ever before, and the breakers of these laws must take the punishment.
