30 YEARS IN MILITARY SERVICE Captain David Conner of Second Company Coast Artillery
 Has Long Been in Service of State.

Captain David Conner of New Lon don completed 30 years of service in the militia on Nov. 22. Twenty seven of these years he served the state of Connecticut. The other three he serv- ed the United States. The service which Captain Conner prizes most highly in his record is that which he put in a United States volunteer in the Philip pine insurrection. He served in the Philippine Islands for nearly two years. For nine months he was in the volun- teer service in the Spanish American war.
 Captain Conner started his military career in 1880 on Nov. g. He en- listed in Company D. Third Connecti- cut infantry, and his captain was the late Colonel William H. Bentley He was IS years of age at that time. He had come to New London from Brook lyn when he was years of age and was bold farmer boy to use his own words when he came to enlist.
 He was inspired to military career by service in the late Captain George Bowser's Colt Guards, in the Garfield Hancock campaign. The Colt Guards went to New Haven for parade and Mystic, and the train became stalled ner's eagrensse to eb a soldier was not killed off by being two nights away from home on a toy soldier campaign. There was just enough of the make be- iieve in the life of the Bowser Zouayes,

NEW SUITS BROUGHT
 IN SUPERIOR COURT
Contest Over Water Privilege in Mont
 ville-Another Divorce Case.

Clarence l.. Hoxie of Franklin has brought suit for divorce against Louise s. Hoxie of Norwich, whose maiden name was Louise B. Rathbun. They were married December ,, 1900, and she deserted him JuIx l, 1907 He does not ask for the child's custody.
 The Uncasville Manufacturing Co., claims that it has suffered S100o loss during forced shutdown and asks for & permanent injunction to supplant the temporary injunction, restraining the C. NJ. Robertson Co. of Montville from keeping the gates closed and thus keeping the water from the 1Jn- casville company. and also ask to have the ownership and the water rights clearly established.
 The claim of the Uncasville Man ufactuIing Co. is that on March 31, 1887, Charles A. and George R. Lewis decided certain lands to Henry Wheel CT. reserving, however, the water rights, that is, the Oxoboxo pond, and the control of the water leading into 1t. The Uncasville Manufacturing O. is the outgrowth of the company which was owned by Charles A. and George R. Lewis and so the water rights belong to the Unca svil1e com pany.
 On May s1. 1866, the right to build a new dam at the pond was given to Carmichael Robertson by the Uncas- vile company, the dam to be four feet higher than the old dam, the ex- press condition being that it should be subject to the reservations regarding the water rights set forth in the orig inal deed passed between Charles A. and George R. Lewis and MT. Wheeler
 It is claimed by the Uncasville Manufacturing company that the Rob ertson company has made unrea soma ble use of the water by running the mills nights and in the day times not allowing the water to run down for the use of the Uncasviile Manufactur- ing Go.
 On October 1, 1910. the plaintiff claims the defendant denied the re- quest of the plaintiff company that the defendant company open the gates and let the water come down. On the 18th, the plaintiff company, by it's agents. opened the gates. and the defendant company ordered the plaintiff com pany's agents of the premises. The daseSsaant company then disrantled me gate, taking the gear off so that 6le water would not run down to the URcasville Manufacturing Co. mills, and move the machinery

as they were sometimes called, to make him want to see something nearer the real thing, and he enlisted in CompanI D.
 He was made sergean mt in 1883. and held that until 1891, when he was ap- pointed first lieutenant in Company D, and III 1S94 was made adjutant of the First battalion of the Third infantry, which position he held when the regi- ment was ordered to the front. In the Spanish American war he was ap- pointed captain of Company D. and after being mustered out received the appointment as captain in the Forty sixth U. $. infantry, and went to the Philippines. He had trying experiences there.
 On his return he went back as ser- geant-major of the Third regiment, and was later made captain of Com pany I. This became the Tenth com- pany in the Coast Artillery, and was recently absorbed by the Second com pany, Captain Conner being placed in charge.
 The captain says: My advice to all young men, who are physically able, if it does not interfere with their work, is to get into the state service for at least three years, for it has @ tendency to make them more respectful, manly, think ouicklN-and to make thena walk with their legs and not with their arms and their shoulders. I don't re- gret one minute of the time I have given to the state of Connecticut or the United States"
