When Captain Oliver arrived with
Fraser, surgeon and detachment of
mounted men Dallas was seated in the
doorway, rocking Marylyn against her
breast. She looked up dry eyed as he
hurried to her.
"What'd they do 1t for?' she asked
him brokenly. How could they hurt

Dallas, her reason lettering like her

were heartrending:

wouldn't kill him? Oh. you don't think
he's deadT'
"We'll find him." said the captain
He was pitiful in his regret. This trag-

1T looks like It," Oliver mounted
and they rode off to the swale.
Noon was past when the captain call
ed at the shack again. He found the
surgeon gone, but his promise full
filed. Food and medicine had gone
far to revive his patients physically.
Tears had mercifully combined with
returning strength to right their minds.

TO EFFECT A DEAL
Novelty Co Wants 10 Exchange
Land With City.

The committee appointed by the
old board of aldermen to confer with
Loren H. Carter who wishes to eff
feet a land deal with the city met
with the board of charity on Satur-
day afternoon The committee con-
sists of Aldermen T. B. Walker, W.
]. Spain and Martin Scully but Mr.
Scully was not present as he was at
tending the meeting of the agents
of the Bronson library.
There are about 10 acres OF land
in the vicinity of the Brookside
home and the land apparently Is
not of much use to anyone with the
exception of the city. 1t is said that
the city some time ago could have
purchased more than half of it for
about $2,S0O but did not care to do
so. Much of the land has been
used by one of the local factories
just to get the wood from 1t. Years
from now it may be much more val
liable to the city than it is at present
but the charity commissioners as
we'll as the aldermen do not think
that it begins to compare with the
land on the Watertown road owned
by the city and which Mr. Carter
wishes to obtain. The public has
been of the impression that the con-
Germ for which Mr. Carter is acting
wishes to trade the land at the
Brookside home for the property on
the WatertOwn road, but this is not
the case. 1t is understood that a
money consideration will also be
given if the city decides that the
transaction would be good thing.
But just at present it does not
look as though the deal would ma
terialize. The charity board, at
least some of them, value the forty
acres of land owned by the city on
the Watertown road at or above
$50, 700, while the aldermen, so it is
said, think it is worth even more
than that. The commissioners at
the hearing Saturday strongly OBJ
jected to the proposed deal unless
the city received big slice of money
in addition to the land. Commits
sioner Jilson, who knows what land
is worth in the vicinity, as he has
seen many real estate transactions
in that section, considers that the
building lots into which the city
could cut its property would sell for
about $500 apiece. Moreover, by
cutting a new street through the
land several additional building lots
would be formed from the sale of
which the city would receive a con-
siderable amount of money.
One of the charity commissioners
as much as admitted to-day that 1t
is the Novelty Manufacturing Co
which is after the land on the Wa
tertown road. Alderman Lewis E.
Fitzsimons, who is also a charity
commissioner, is secretary and treas
urer of this concern. 1t is the in
tention of the company, so the story
goes, to erect factory there If it
can secure the land.

TO ADD A STORY
Commissioner Walter Talks Cd
Court House Changes.

County Commissioner Jacob D..
Walter of Cheshire, was in town Il
short time to-day and stated that in
about three weeks he expects to be
able to get figures from architects as
to the possible cost Of adding 4 story
to the court house building. What
shape or form the new story will be
he could not say, as the structure has
not been looked over by any architect.
Practically nothing has been done with
this matter, though an appropriation
of $4,000 was made last summer by
the legislature for the work. 1t seems
to be the impression of the local bar,
however, that all the business now
conducted on the second floor, which
is the top floor, will be transferred to
the new story; that an elevator will be
installed, which will give employment
to another man for the greater part
of the year, with a rest of a month
or two between terms of court.
Commissioner Walters idea is to
have everything ready so that when
court adjourns for the summer hol-
days the workmen will be able to get
to work without the slightest OBJ
stacle in their way, and have the
building ready Cor use by the October
term of the superior court, if possible,
Neither the plans for the work nor
bids for the job have been accepted

THE POLICE COURT.
Children of Mrs Towne NAV Be
Taken From Her.

The fruits of police raid on a
house on Sperry street early Sunday
morning were before Judge Peasley
in the city court to-day. Mrs Aman-
da Towne was charged with being
the keeper of the place and her hus-
band Antonio, with Gussie Hit and
Lillian Merrill were charged with
being residents of the place. All
pleaded not guilty. The evidence
was furnished by Sergeant Blakely
and Officer Stevens. Mrs Towne was
committed to jail for ninety days and
the others for thirty days each. The
Merrill woman took an appeal under
bail of $500. During the taking of
the evidence Assistant Prosecutor Nc
Grath undertook to show that on the
evidence of Mrs Towne man Is
serving a sentence of seven years in
the state prison for assaulting her
seven year old daughter and also
that she had another man arrested
for a similar assault upon another of
her girls last year.
Her oldest daughter is Is years of
age and while she did not figure In
the case prominently Officer Stevens
stated that he heard Mrs Towne
swear at a man before the raid, that
| If he interfered with the girl she
would bore a hole through him. The
Rev John n. Lewis of st Johns was
on hand after court and there was
talk of taking the children away
from Mrs Towne. Merrill and Hit
said they were merely visitors in the
house. In connection with this case
Stephen Mitchell, Michael Healey,
George Evans and James Rigney paid
81 each in settlement of a complaint
charging them with being frequenters
of the place. Towne Is a motorman
in the employ of the Connecticut
company.

KILLOUGHEY ESTATE

A discovery was made SATURDAY.
that may have some effect on the
will of the late Mrs Catherine Kilt
loughey but it is hardly likely thai
it will interfere with its main feai
ture the giving of the entire estateV
to the st Patrick's church. The esI
tate has not been yet appraised buf
it is said to be worth about $4,000. n
The discovery was the finding Of a.
will left by Mrs Killoughey's husban6'
Michael Killoughey, who died I'M
1898. He willed that all Of his prop
erty go to his widow and at her death
to be distributed in even portions be-,
tween his two sons Thomas and
Michael. Nature did not take it's,
usual course in this instance for
both young men died some years be-
fore their mother. Thomas died in
1908 as certified by the records in
the town clerks Office but there is no
record of the death Of the other,i
Michael, at least none was found In
the town clerks office.
Both died, however, within the
provisions of a law which DEGREES
that the property of children who
died without direct heirs shall revert
to the surviving parent, or both If
they live. In this case, the provision
made by Killoughey the father, re-
garding the disposition of the prop
erty after his Widows death was va
Gated by the death of the sons and
their interests in the estate will re-
vert to their mothers estate. There
fore their estates must be settled up
before the estate left by their mother
can be passed upon by the probate
court. The discovery of Mr. Xii

fisherman in town had a look at
them and wondered where they were

not caught by the commissioner of
