WEST CORNWALL

Last May Sheriff Hornbeck, Falls Village, was given & writ of ejectment to serve on George N. Brewster, of this place. The writ was the outgrowth of financial dealing between Brewster and the FallsVillage Savings Bank. Brewster objected vigorously to the serving of she writ, and it is claimed that when the sheriff informed him of his purpose that Brewster armed himself with a revolver and & supply of cartridges and that he threatened to kill whoever set him off his place and threatened all implicated in the transaction. Realiz- ing the conditions and fearing that there might be bloodshed, the execution was not served that day.
 A few days later, however, criminal complaint was issued and placed in the sheriff's hands, charging Brewster with carrying concealed weapons and twith threatening to kill. When the sheriff went after Brewster, the latter had got wind of what was in the air and left town Since then Sheriff Hornbeek has tried to locate the missing man. Last Thursday he learned that Brewster was in Waterville, and he sent word to the Chief of Police there to have him ar rested and held. A detective was sent to round up Brewster and place him under arrest. The next day the sheriff went after him and brought him here before Justice Fred w. Yutzler, by whom Brewster was bound over to the Superior criminal court in the sum of $I 300. He Is about 55 years old, un- married, and has been many years a a resident here, on one of the best farms in this section.

Birds Necessary
Continued from page 1.)

if birds were in normal abundance a large part of this loss could be prevented.
 In view of these facts and conditions, by the act of our last legislature the of- fee of State Ornithologist was estab- lished. Among the most important of the functions of the State Ornithologist will be to know accurately the facts about the various birds of the State in relation to human welfare, to ascertain successful methods for the increase of useful birds, and to educate public sen timent in the State to interest..and coop eration through the press and by illus trated lectures and other addresses.
 One day last winter, in one of our largest Connecticut towns, a boy with an air-rifie and some companions entered the private yard of a lady and shot 8 little black and white spotted bird, known as the downy woodpecker, which was working industriously on an infected elm, hunting for eggssor larvae of the issect pests. It fell to the ground, wounded and dying, The misguided youth, without troubling himself further about the suffering bird, (for all he wanted was the "fun" shooting it) with a gratuitous insult for the lady on whose, premises he was trespassing, n narched off to hunt up some more "game." .<
 The lady tenderly took the bird into the house and tried to revive iE, but the next morning it was de d. TA7 epjsod2

was brought to the attention of the superintendent of schools as clear case for prosecution. Summoning the boy to his office, he drew out a confession of guilt. Then he told the boy how hard the city authorities were trying to save the fine elm trees, the pride of the city, and how, despite all the money spent in spraying the trees, the insects were surely killing them. These little woodpecksrs, nut-hatches, creepers, chickadees, and others, are the best means of saving these trees, and alas, they are all too scarce. Then he told the boy that these birds are our police force to patrol the trees, and that he had shot an officer of the law engaged in the discharge of his duty. He went on to show him that the spraying of the trees was paid for by taxing his father and other citizens, and that the fewer birds there were the more spraying would have to be done. By his wrong act he had wasted the public money and broken the game law, mak- ing himself liable to arrest and a fine of ten dollars and costs. In fact he had made himself an undesirable young citizen.
 The boy had not thought of this be- fore, and seemed so penitent that he was not arrested this time but given another chance. He did not want to be classed as an undesirable citizen." But any person who in these days wantonly kills useful bird puts himself in that class. He is fighting against "the conservation of the national resources" One cannot be good American and do this.
