SMALL FIRE AT
 GLEN WoOLEN MILL.
Started in Picker Room, But Was Soon Put Out-Help Asked from Local Department, Which Was Ready to Go.

There was a small fire in the Glen wooden mill at Norwich Town, soon after o'clock Tuesday afternoon, which for time looked bad, but it was handled by the help and soon put out with but small damage.
 When the fire started Chief Stanton of the local department was asked to give them some help. He suggested their getting the Yautic steamer. and got into communication with Mayor Lippitt, and it was decided to send up men and hose by auto if 1t was found necessary. They were in readi- ness to go, and were to be called again if needed, but the fire was put out and their serives were not needed. The Yantic steamer was not needed, either. Chief Stanton commended the company in putting in an early call for help, although it was not needed, as it after wards proved.
 On Tuesday Chemical No. was call- ed to No. 34 Cedar street for a chfm- ney fire in the house occupied by MT. Osborn. It was quickly put out.
 On Saturday Chemical No. 2 was call ed to the bakery at the corner of West Main and North High streets, where a kerosene heater had been overturned. There was little damage. In teh even- ing there was a call to the new Thames bank building, where large salamand- CTS were going to keep the building warm. From the rear it looked like a fire. but men were there watching them.

Unlawful Hunting of Deer in New
 London County Is Reported.

The fish and game commission was in session in Hartford Tuesday. The commission has furnished to all the town clerks in the state blank licenses to be filled out and issued for the cur rent year These licenses will be in force for one year, and will expire at the same time, namely, December 31. Persons who wish to hunt ra bbits should remeber that they should get out licenses. The season for rabbit hunting will continue to January 15, but the license will remain in force until the end of the year.
 It is interesting to notice that the hunters of Danbury seem to have been the first to take out license un- der the new law. On the first day of the year the town clerk of that town issued fifteen licenses. Complaint has been made to the commissioners. that deer are shot in the wooded parts of the towns of Ledyard and Groton against the law. The complaint is to the effect that parties have organ ized expeditions to hunt the deer It is needless to say that the commis- sioners will do all that lies in their power to discover the violators of the law and to prevent the unlawful hunt ing of the deer
