A Storm as Was "a Storm.

Concerning last weeks thunder storm in Coventry particularly in the region of Lake Wangumbauga this is what Town Clerk and Treasurer Frank P.- Fenton says:
 Tt rained so hard that the shingles on Charlie Jordans bungalow, which were merely tackled on with nails, were laid to withstand any force as the terrific rain drove the nails clear through and headed themselves on the interior" And still another fact that goes to show how hard it really rained is the case with which I got a free shave that day.
 You see. we had been out fishing and when the storm broke we has tened for shelter, but I had on a broad brimmed straw hat and thought that. I'd be- all right, but the rain came down harder and still harder and finally cut the hrim off clip and clean and shaved my face as clean and nice as any barber as it passed down over my face on both sides" The above phenomena are further vouched for by Messrs. w. R. IIar- rington and Fred TC. Wendell, who were members of the. fishing party. The t'AIuskrat Club" has a special seat reserved for MT. Fenton and he will be escorted to it with all the attendance and pomp and ceremony that can be accorded it's greatest champion. when the club resumes its meetings this fall

Main Street Paving Delayed

Mafh 0tFSSL TaVtnq DclaySu-
 It had been expected that the work of the continued paving on < Main street would be completed by Satur- day evening up to Thursday morning when a slight rumpus occurred that gave the work..a set back and will delay it's completion.
 Contractor A T. Langefeld was not on the job Thursday having been and the foreman of the concretfng gang and the foreman of the paving gang had q few words and could not agree upon some trivial matter and as a result the boss concreter. and his men quit the job and left for Hart ford on the 10:07 express.
 The payers finished laying their al- 1otted stretch and then the foreman and his men, were put to work mix ing and putting into place the rest of the concrete foundation so that they will be able to continue laying paving blocks Friday.
 They were set to- doing this work after Engineer Reynolds had got ahold Contractor Langefeld by phone in New Haven. MT. Langefeld was considerably worked up over the de- lay and the action of some of his men and have them do it according to your orders.'
 The payers will doubtless have to stop again Friday while the helpers of their gang mix and pour another batch of concrete and then allow it to set over night. Unless a larger force of men is put ito work the job will in all probability not be finished before Tuesday of next week.

 Jackson himself was put upon the stand and told of going to the Row Tuesday to see partner of his, a Mir. Burr, about some business and figure up some accounts, but failed to find him and that Mrs. Atwood, see ing him had called to him to get her a pail of beer and he did so and they sat down and drank it together and that he had got another pail which they also drank. He absolutely de- nied all of the statements that Mrs. Atwood had made relative to his king in the door and attempt ing to assault her and using foul language to her. He said that he was unmarried and that he worked around saw-mills He said that he had known the Hills woman for a long time and that he boarded with her and her husband off and on whenever he was in this vicinity. The Chapman woman was recalled and asked if she knew anything about went for and was drunk by Mrs At wood and himself She said that she knew nothing at all about any beer Judge Arnold dismissed her. He inn tPoSed a sentence on JackSOn or SlA months on each count, but suspended Judgment on the intoXication charge.
 Jackson addressed the court and gave notice of an appeal and the judge said very well, under bonds of $500. Mrs. Hills was out among some of MT. Jackson's friends trying to ob
 tain bail during the day and in all probability the case will never come to trial if the bondsS are secured, of which. there is a. good possibility. AL
 most every day. at least several times each week, complaints come in from the Atwood apartments about men beino in that vicinity and of others attempting to obtain an entrance. Drinking and cRrousing prevail there, it is said, almost constantly.
