MRS. GILSON MAY HAVE MONEY BACK

The Supreme Court of Connecticut gave a final decision, yesterday, in the case of Mrs. Margaret Gilson vs The Boston Realty Go. The decision sus-
 tains the finding of Justice of the Peace Harry P. Lyons and that of Judge Scott before whom the case was originally tried. The Realty Co. is directed to pay back to Mrs. Gilson all moneys paid by her, notwithstanding the terms of the contract which they hold against her. The point on which the decision chiefly rests is the validity of a statement often made by agents that the buyer may take his time in paying for his purchase although the contract calls for definite payments at certain periods. When the case was before Judge Scott he found that such a statement amounted to a formal ex- tension of time.
 Mrs. Gilson in August, 1906, pur- chased certain lots in Milford of the defendant company and made a pay ment of $25. She was credited with another payment of s16 for boarding the agents of the company. She neg lected for some time to make any further payments and the company then closed her account and sold the land to another. Mrs. Gilson sued to recover the money already paid. The Supreme court has just decided that she is entitled to this money, through an opinion by Justice Roraback-

MOORlSH REBELS WILL
 SLAUGHTER SPANISH TROOPS
(special from United Press.)


 San Sebastian, Spain, July 22.-Of- ficial messages received here from the belea guered spanish garrison at Mel1lla in Morocco declare that the entire town has now been surrounded by Moorish rebels whose cordon extends about every section of the besieged city at a. distance of mile and a half from the outer works of the Spanish forces The ammunition of the besieged Span ish troops is running low and there is hardly more than enough left to with stand another charge of the Moors. The machine guns have been constant 1y at work since last Saturday and the firing has been especially heavy with these guns during the wild charges of the tribesmen. As a result General Mar1nau has given orders to conserve every round of ammunition.
 The official messages declare that the garrison is in bad straits from this shortage of ammunition and it is doubtful if they can withstand another fierce assault such as will cause a cli- max It is believed if the tribesmen succeed in rushing the works there will follow a wholesale slaughter of the Spanish troops and a general massacre of all who live in the town.
 Other official messages from Melflla are being awaited with feverish anx- ietyS as the downfall of the town is ex- pected at any moment.
