GiIea5 Man Held in s1,ooo for Assault
 With Intent to Kill

Monday morning James Stutt was before Justice of tke Peace H. E. Buell. at o'clock and entered a plea of not guilty to the charge of assault with intent to, kill The prosecution was represented by Grand Juror E. E.. Fiote. The accused was without coun- sel. but was represented by his em- ployer, J. D. Hunt
 Henry Hoffman offered testimony to the effect that Stutt. Keffe and others had been drinking Sunday afternoon at Stutt's house. in Gilead. but that neither Stutt nor Keffe was so drunk as not to know what he was doing. Witness said that he had left the house to go home, when he heard the shots and returned to find Keffe wounded.
 Deputy Sheriff Fred Prentice of Gil- cad testified that he was notified of the affair. went to Stutts house and after an investigation had placed Stutt under arrest.
 Richard Stutt, a brother of the ac- cused and host at the cider drinking bee, said that he did not see the actu- al shooting. Keffe had brought two jugs of cider to his brothers house, and there were also six bottles of beer and little more than a glass of whiskey.
 Joseph Joyner and Fred Done when put upon the stand stated that Stutt was in the bedroom when Keqe went in there. The next thing they heard were the revolver shots. Stutt did not state why he had shot Keffe. Something like halg an hour before the shooting Stutt had ordered them all out Cf the house, and they left, but soon returned. It is said that when they were ordered out Stutt had four ished a revolver.
 .1oe 1t is expected that Stutt will claim self defense. It was reported in Hebron Monday that Stutt had marks upon his throat and had made the statement outside of the justices court that Keffe had been choking him just previous to his firing at Keffe with a revolver. { Probable cause was found by Jus tice Buell. and Stutt was bound over to the next term of the superior court for Holland county, which comes in on the first Tuesday in December. Bail was lived at $5,0O0. Inasmuch as the accused could not secure surety in that sum he was taken to Holland jail by Deputy Sheriff Fred Prentice.
 Telephonic communications with the Hartford hospital authorities discloses the fact that Keffe is practically in the same condition as Sunday. All efforts to locate the bullet by the surgeons have been unsuccessful It will not be known for few days at least what bis chances for recovery are

OLIVER JACOBS PRESIDENT.
Heals Students at Worcester Tech
 for Experiments With Wireless.

Oliver Jacobs of Danielson has been elected president of a class of forty one students at the Worcester Poly technic Instituted for the study of wireless telegraphy. Many of the stu sdents in the electrical department are 1 imbued with the possibilities for work in the field of wireless Following along the line of expriments made at the school last year, more ambitious plans are under way for a plant with power sufficient to carry across the Atlantic ocean, such long distance ser vice being hindered only by the low placing( of the aerial wire.
 It is planned to equip a station in the electrical engineering laboratory with the autennal suspended over the building from poles at each end. Here power will be available and 25 kli- watt, 25,000 volt transformer in the . tension laboratory can be used as part of the transmitting apparatus If the 25 kilowatt could be radiated sufficiently there is no doubt but that the signals could be heard across the Atlantic but, due to the low aerial and the absorption of the metal roof of the building, it is not expected to re- alize this in practice.
 4 transmitting apparatus with a working radius of from 200 to 300 miles has also been ordered.
 MT. Jacobs is the leading spirit in the wireless experimenting that is be- ing done at the institute, and in his work there this winter he will use some of the apparatus with which he and Roy Reach have been working in Danielson and at Oakland Beach.
 Slim Remuneration for Tax Collector.
 It is of interest to note at the pres ent time, in view of the recent dis cussion in the annual town meeting as to what salary the collector of taxes should receive. that in May, 1S61 the town meeting voted to pay James Howe $5 for his services as tax col lector. The recent town meeting made the amount of the reimburse lncnt that the collector eie to receive as one third of one per cent. of his total collections. which. if re collects all the money due on the list, will give his a salary slightly in excess of $150 a year. The men who know about the labor and time that is re- quired to collect taxes in the town of Killingly at the present time do not feel that the collector Is being over-
