GAVE BACK THE MONEY.
Two Polish Men Refund s335 to Right.
 ful owners-otto Mayors Will Be Returned to Philadelphia. =. .. ..

In the city court Tuesday morning, the continued case against Joseph and Leon kameroski was called up before Judge Barnes. The two men are &C., cused of fraudulently signing papers in the office of Shields & Shields and getting $335 out of a city bank.
 The facts are these: Some time ago Leon and Joseph Jankowski, both em- ployed at the plant of the Uncas Pa per company in Thamesville, called at the office of Shields 6 Shields, with papers written in Russian, relating to the sale of some of their property in Russia The papers were sent to the Russian consul in New York, who as- certalned that the matter had been adjusted. With the documents was re- turned draft for $335, the balance due the two men, who had previously received number of installments.
 Mir. Shields sent word to the men at the paper company to come to his office and get the money, which had been deposited with the Thames Loan & Trust Co.
 were the two persons interested and gave their names as Joseph and Leon hameroski. They signed the neces- sary papers, were given bankbooks, and on July 28 drew out the $335. It was learned soon afterward that they were merely 1rlendS or the right peO- pie, and they were arrested by Chief Murphy. All but s10 was found on the two men.
 City Attorney Hall told the court that Shields & Shields did not wish to prosecute the guilty men, as the mon ey had been returned and it was doubtful if the men knew that they were doing wrong. William H. Shields corroborated Mr. Halls state ment. MT. Hall recommended that the case be nolled on payment of costs and Judge Barnes so ordered. The men were placed in cells, while their friends went out to collect the $12.S7 necessary for the liberty of each. Otto Mears, 16, was accused of chasing his sister with a bread knife Monday evening at the home of his uncle, Albert Marshall. Mr. Marshall told the court. some of the boys wild actions, and said that he had never seen him before he came from Phil adelphia two months ago. He knew nothing of his past. Judge Barnes de- cided, after he heard more testimony, to place the boy in the hands of the city missionary for two weeks, and during that time will try to have the boy returned to hi shome in Phila- delphia.

Macdonald's automobile is travelling workshop-he does busI ness on the car which most men do m the office. The pushers do not seem to disturb him-he is perfectly willing to have the work hastened

BASS ARE BITING.
Four Founders at Garder Lake-Bu'
 Saturday an Off Day.

Tales of fine bass fishing at Gard ner Lake in the past week are re- ported by Norwich anglers who fish this body of water, but the fish have apparently responded only to the se- lect few. Saturday there was an un- usual number of fishing parties at the lake, so that all the boats were in use, but the wary and gamy bass re- fused to bite and there were no catches of any consequence. The best the fishers could do was to hear of the catches made during the preceding days. A party of two who had been out there a week got 19 in one day, all of good size, and had caught fish every day until Saturday 6 being their smallest string. The record fish of the week was reported as a four pounder. From this the fish ran all the way down to one -pounders.
