George L. Lyon. who has been with the Quinebaug company for about two score years, for the greater part of the time as overseer of their entire weav- ing department. has resigned. He is succeeded by Arnold Wild, who has been MT. Lyons assistant as second man.
 MT. Lyon has a record of service with the company that has few equals in the industrial history of New England. His has been record remarkable in a mill where overseers who spend long terms in the employ of the company are the rule rather than the exception. He has given the greater part of his life's service in conducting with high degree of efficiency one of the main departnents of one of the greatest cotton manufacturing plants in Con- necticut. Mir. Lyon has been good man for the company and has always enjoyed the cordial cooperation of the employes under his direct charge. The laying down of his labors was without display and came as surprise to many of the operatives of the mill.
 Mir. Lyon retires from active busi- ness life with the full measure of the rewards of honorable service, a man with a record of industry that few are privileged to achieve.

Martin, who had previously testified for the plaintiff. was called by the de- fense and in reply to a question if he had thought the matter over since previously testifying, replied that he had, and that Molly, one of the lead horses which it was alleged had died as result of the accident. was later sold at an auction at his fathers place. He further testified that all four horses went back to Montville and worked there for a time after the accident, a matter of two weeks or so afterwards.

 Merwin Johnson, a civil engineer, in the employ of the Connecticut Co.,. explained a map of the trolley road and highways at the place where the accident occurred. He testified that he could see a car coming from diff ferent parts at the crossing for a dis tance of 160 to 200 feet before the car came to the crossing. Chester Leonard testified that he was working for John M. Martin during October, 1907, as a teamster, and worked for him up to February, 1908. He did not witness the accident but he knew that three gray horses and one bay had been in an accident. He had seen them in this city after the mix-up oc- cured. He said that he knew that the whole four went back to Montville about the first of November. He drove one of the two teams himself, but not those horses that had been injured. Both teams worked together drawing ties and poles and worked both in MoIegan and in Montyille for num- Der of weeks.
 They then went to Ledyard. and when the driver of the team that got injured, Clinton Rood took his place. One gray horse died at Ledyard and that horse did not have any medical

nam High, 28-14.
 The Windham high school basket ball team opened it's season Wednes- day afternoon in the Y. M. c. A. gym nastup by taking a fall out of the fast Putnam high school quintette. The game was largely attended for an afternoon one and the audience was largely made up of enthusiastic girl student rooters who kept pretty busy all the time singing and cheer ing.
 The game continued for the entire first period upon practically even terms. Each Windham player suc- ceeded in cagipg a basket apiece the first half and Putnam's players lodg- ed four in the net. thus leaving the home team in the lead by the narrow margin of two points.
 The whole contest was a good one, unusually free from roughness. Only one foul was called throughout the en- tire game and unfortunately that was inflicted upon the visitors.
 With the opening of the second peri cd Captain Richmond substituted Downer for Vanderman. and notice able quickness and effectiveness in team play was apparent. Vanderman played well. but Downer was even

attendance. This occurred in Janu- ary. They came back to Willimantic the last of the month and another gray horse died. Still another horse died at Mir. Martins stable while wit ness was working there but 1t was not one that was in the accident. On cross examination. witness said that the team did begin to grow poor after going back to work in Montvllle. and when they came home from Ledyard they took one of the horses out of witness team and put 1t in the other team that had been injured. as the team was in poor condition, although they had only light wagon to draw He insisted. however, that the team had been worked every day. hauling loads varying from three to four tons. After coming back to this city, two of the horses were very weak and they could not work them much, and before he left MT. Martin one of the other two horses died and still another was in poor condition and could not work. Molly, the third horse, was worked every day. Thomas Baudro of Led ward testified to having seen the horses the day following the accident and they seemed to be all right. He corroborated testimony of previous witness to the effect that the team was kept at his barn and that one Of the horses had died at his place. A recess was taken at 12 o'clock until 1 o'clock.
 When the case was resumed MT. Baudro testified that the horses had been worked for him about ten days after the accident. They were draw ing timber and the horses were used both in Montville and Ledyard, and Clinton Rood of Willimantic drove the horses. A man employed by MT. Baudro testified that he was working in the woods and loaded timber upon the wagons to which were hitched MT. Martins four horses. He said that one of the horses had died in Led yard.
 A veterinary surgeon, introduced by the defense, gave 1t as his opinion from a hypothetical question pro- pounded that the horses did not die as a result of the accident, yet he did admit on cross examination that the internal injuries of the horses shown by the autopsies might have directly resulted from the accident and there fore might have been the cause Of death.
 The attorneys consumed the balance of the days session in making their arguments. Court was adjourned un- til Friday morning, when short call endar session will be held. Judge Robinson will give his decision in the case later.

Around the court house where the
dispositions charging Eaton with ex-

opinion is expressed that but for the
fact that the case has been brought
% the attention of the public. the po-
lice department head would not have
sworn to the informations which he
recently importuned County Attorney
John J. Schenck to issue.
