BOUGHT "GLAss DIAMONDS"
Now Hartford Store Keeper Would
 Like to Sell Them for $1.

Hartford, Aug 27.-After grieving since August 10 over $50 he had lost through a bunco game, an east side storekeeper told a new tale of woe to the police yesterday, and exhibited beautiful set of glass diamonds" which he took in exchange for his good money. He was too ashamed to report his loss before, and the consequence is that there is practi- cally no hope of the police now get ting line on the bunco steerers.
 It was on August 10 that the store keeper, who is Hebrew, was on his way to the bank to make deposit, when he was met by a stranger who wanted to go to Chicago, to see his dying mother. He hadn't any money but produced velvet case with dia- monds. Another stranger, who then appeared, said the diamonds were worth not a cent less than $400, and he would buy them himself If he had money enough.
 How much have you got?" asked No ? of the storekeeper.
 Only $S0," he replied.
 Well, have $50 more, and if we put our money together maybe the gentleman will be willing to sell them for $130. as he needs the money" suggested No ?.
 No ? said he had a brother who was a jeweler in New Britain and they could easily get $40O from him for the stones. So the deal was made and the $130 was handed over to No 1. Of course the storekeeper was to keep the stones and meet No ? the next day to complete the deal, and he has. been waiting ever since. A teweler told him the next day that if he was good salesman he might get s1 for the stones.

THE CITY COURT
Son and DaUghier.In.Law fined
 $7 and Cosis Each.

It was hard to say whether it was 75 cent lamp or noncompliance with the dictates of the Jewish bible that caused Charles Kocharsky and his wife Celia to assault his mother Mrs Bessie Kocharsky, at their home 30 Ashley street, the other morning In explaining the matter to Judge Peasley in the city court to-day At torney Bernstein, appearing for the accused, said that in this hustling age it is simply impossible for young people born of Jewish parents in this country to keep up with the dictates of the bible. Some old orthodox Jews, he said, make life miserable for the younger Jews. He said their conduct might actually be called mean. Now Mrs Kocharsky, he said, is an old woman and her ideas of the Jewish religion is many shades different from those of her son and daughter-in-law. For instance, lit- tie while ago there was a dispute between the mother and son over tha iSn6lA Ol llIue QuduGlly or medU that had been bought for home con- sumption had gone through a cer- tain process in solution. Mrs kocharsky, Sr, made trouble on that account because her son would not have the meat remain in the process long enough to suit her. As for the lamp referred to, Mrs Kocharsky, he said, was leaving her son-in-law to go to live with her daughter up stairs in the same house and was taking the lamp, and her son saw that it did not belong there. The evidence for the state was that the son and his wife threw down his mother on the stairs and kicked her. This was de- nied by both the accused. They were fined $7 and costs each, amounting to over SIP. They took an appeal.
 A case against John J. O'Neill for breach of the peace went over to to- morrow. His wife, the complainant, was not present.

NEW SIDEWALK
South Leonard Street People
 Will Get Some Relief.

South Leonard street people who thought they would have to walk through the mud another winter are very much pleased to know that they will have sidewalk on one side or the street about as far as they ex- pected it this year. They are having some walls, too, but the same as in other places there is. some slight diff ference of opinion as to what is needed, but none of the kinks is so bad but 1t can be strengthened out and everybody who wants to be req sonable made happy. The street committee means to be fair, but it is composed of two men neither of whom is infallible and on this ac- count their judgment may not al- ways be the best, and where it is out of true they will always be pleased to have the weak spot pointed out on time to get things as they ought to he

THE MIDDLETOWN RAID
Action of State Police-Did not Buy
 Liquor or Enter Bedroom.

Writing to the Hartford Times State Policeman Loucks says: {
 Upon my arrival in Hartford lastl evening my attention was called to| an editorial of August 24. Referring to state police, raid in Middletown, Sunday, August 2S, you say:
 It was in Middletown, and the officers after trying to buy beer or whiskey, and being refused, raided several private houses in Middletown. The shooting grew out of their forc- ing their way into a woman's bed- room. According to the dispatch, she awoke to see three strange men in the room. Naturally, she screamed, and her husband came to her aid, etc, etc.
 T desire to say the statement is not only false, but malicious. was there in charge of the officers, neither of whom tried to buy liquor or was refused liquor; they did not enter, or try to enter, any woman's bedroom They went there pursuant to instruc- tions from Superintendent Egan, and with warrants from the court. and as agents of that court they searched five blind tigers. where sales had al- ready been made on previous dates, in July and August, evidence of ille- gal traffic at time o; raid was found in abundance. Liquor was seized at each place. The skirmish to which you allude occurred at the first speak easy raided. What might have been riot was quelled in its incipiency by one who has been an officer of department of public safety for near iy twenty-four years, and at four subsequent raids and sixteen arrests in Middletown last Sunday no trouble whatever was experienced. demons trating to any one of ordinary intel- ligence that the state officers had the situation we'll in hand. Seven of the men arrested have already come into court and entered a plea of guilty without trial. trust you will give this the same publicity which you gave the so-called dispatch"

HOTCHKIss's HORSE.
Cause of "Bill" Missing Some Fun at
 

Quassapaug.
 Bill" Hotchkiss. the South Main street hardware merchant. attended the outing of the business men at Quassapaug on Tuesday afternoon, but missed a goodly part of the en- tertainment. Why? Because he was looking for his horse. When "Bill'' reached the scene of the festivities he unharnessed his horse and al- lowed it to roam through the mea- dows. expecting to get 1t right after dinner.
 But when dinner was over and the old football player went looking for the steed it was nowhere to be found. But Bill" continued to look. Through meadows and through more meadows. and nothing that looked like a horse; every guadruped that he met was a COW. But al length when the shades of night were fall ing and the merrymakers were pre- pairing to return to this city, he came upon the horse in a lot down near Naugatnck.
 Oh, yes, he was the most pleasant person In the city about that time He got back to the outing ground in time to see his fellow merchants de- parting. Nothing like doing the right thing by your horse.

WOMEN CARRYING ARMS.

 CTS in That Line


 The announcement that women folks will experience no trouble in getting license to carry revolvers ought to make business good with houses who deal in that kind of stock, and no doubt it will. After the women have had time to think 1t over and learn how to use such weapons. The next thing We will have is a school where women may acquire some knowledge in that line, so that when it is necessary to shoot she will not get too wide of the mark. A man who claims to be somewhat familiar with women and their ways told a Democrat re- porter to-day that very large num- Der of women carry revolvers eve. when they are only going out shop ping.
