game laws OF the state and fined $50
and costs after hearing before Judge
Harry E. Back in the town court Sat
Getty, representing Oatley. appealed
the case. Attorney Arthur G. Bill rep
resented the state at the hearing.
Oatley was charged with setting
snareS in the territory about East Kill
lingly, where he lives. He was arrested
Friday by Game Warden Albert i.
Mills of Hampton, who was accompa-
MED by Harry Battey of East KilEingly
and a young man named Bernard Ed
wards of Hampton. The testimony OF
these men was to the effect that they
had seen Oatley come through the
woods and seat himself on the ground
beside a hedge of snares, one of which
was broken. While the state did not
claim that Oatley attempted to repair
the snare, it was shown that a spool OF
strong black thread found in his pocket
at the time of his arrest was the same
as that used in setting the snaree.
Oatley denied that the snares had been
placed by him. He admitted to Attor-
ney Bill, however, that he had set
snareS in other years; also that the
place where the snares in question
were set was in one of the best lOca-
tons he knew of for getting birds.
Oatlay explained his presence in the
woods by saying that he was en- route
to a tree where he expected to set
swarm of bees and also that he had
intended to pick some cranberries from
a nearby meadow.
In passing on the matter. Judge Back
said that he would impose the maxi
mum penalty provided by the statute
for the offense because the state had
been and is at much expense to pro-
tect such birds as the snares were set
to catch. Sanford Pratt was accepted
as bondsman for Oatley, the amount

candidate for governor on the cold
wafer ticket, was present and acted
as chairman of the convention, that
Eas attended by John Conant, ]. D.
tonant Ellison Ladd and C. S. Story
of this city. w. p. Barstow of South
Wndham and William ingalls, of DAN
ielson. formerly of Brooklyn and for
a number of years state central COM
mitteeman for the district of the pro-
bitiOn party. Mr.. ingalls, stated that
as he had moved out of the district
capacity and ]. d. Conant of this city
was elected to succeed him as state
central committeeman.
On motion of John Conant, William
G. Anthony of Scotland was nominat-
ed as the candidate for senator from
the district 1t was also voted that
the state central committee be given
the power to fill any vacancies on the
ticket that might occur.
There was some discussion relative
to the matter of nominating a candi-
date for sheriff of the county. but as
it was not in the call. it was decided
that they nominate candidate for the
responsible office of sheriff when a
meeting of the Twenty eighth district
is held to nominate a candidate for
sneator.
At the close of the convention Mr..
Hohenthal explained to all present
that they would have to hold a caucus
before October Is to nominate repre-
senatives. and also a judge of probate
if they cared to do so, and have the
names of their party candidates on the
regular ticket. He then briefly ex-
Dfained the new ballot that is to be
used in the coming elections on Octo-
Der g. He stated that the secretary
of state would supply, free of charge,
sample ballots to the town clerks up
to % per cent. of the number of voters
in town, for their instruction and
that electors may secure them at the
office of the town clerk one week be-
fore election. The specimen ballots
will be the same as the regular tick
cts but printed on a different style of
paper. Town committees may secure
all the specimen ballots required by
applying to the secretary of state
Stress was placed upon the necessity
for the electors to thoroughly familiar
ize themselves with the new ballot be-
fore election and thus eliminate the
possibility of voting improperly and
ther9by have their ballot thrown out
or counted for the wrong man or men
of the respective tickets.

NO COUNTY CONVENTION
Called by Democrats for Nomination
of Sheriff - General Apathy Mani
tested

It may be that the democrats in
Windham county are so interested in
the contest for the republican nominal
ton for sheriff that they have forgot
ten to attend to their own chores; -
at any rate they have neglected to ar
range for the calling of a county con-
vention and no one can be found up
in this corner of the fifteen towns who
knows anything about when such dele
cations as have been named are going
to get together and name d party can
didate for election to the Office men
toned. incidentally some of the towns
have even failed to name county dele
cations a their caucusas. so the signs
are that there must be some tall hus-
Ting to whip things into shape in the
next few days, if the opportunity to
make a contest for the place is not to
go by default.
Local men who are interested in the
matter thought Saturday that the af-
fair might be Strengthened out this
week. the convention called and the
regular process of naming a candidate
gone through with. In the meantime
if Killingly and some other towns de-
sire to be represented in this conven-
ton it will be necessary to call another
caucus and name delegates.

not be many more such events at the
