late Susan W. Banks Nichols o1 Greenfield has been filed and admit ted to probate by Judge Fillmore B. Banks of the Fairfield Probate court The original will Is dated December 1e, 1e01 and there are two codicils which radically change the tenor of the original document. The will distrfb- uates among the entourage of Miss Nichols established bequests as fol lows:
 To Fred A. Thorpe, William Sanford Jennings, pr. M. ". B. Durham and Mary A. Cleveland $500 each. To Mary E. Brown t25O The sum of s1.000 is devised to the trustees of Oaklawn cemetery to maintain the family plot there. The trustees of this fund are Alex. A. T. Nichols Marcus S. Nichols Samuel V. Nichols and John J. Nich- o1s.
 The rest and residue of the estate is divided into three parts all of which are placed in trust for the benefit of Samuel H. Nichols. Elizabeth How ard Nichols and Susan Warner Mich ols. The will directs that in case of the death of the devisees the DOT ton devised to them shall be paid to their heirs. Alfred s. Brown of New York drew up the will and he is nam ed as executor and trustee. Miss Nichols signed the will with her mark which was witness by John Winthrop Wright, MD, Jennie R. Terhune and Alfred S. Brown of 36 West 17th St.. New York.
 The first codicil revokes the former bequest to W. s. Jennings and in- creases the amount to $2,000: Mrs. ary E. Brown gets $500 Mary S. wakeman $500, Jennie B. Terhune $500, Clarence Thorpe $500. codicfl revoking the str1cture that no one ex- cept her immediate family shall be buried in the family plot at Oaklawn Is also revoked. The will Is VOL luminous document and requires legal acumen to decipher.
 The second codicil materially alters the minor bequests but the principle devisees remain the same.
 The estate is variously estimated at from $250.0 to $500.0o0.
 The return of lawlessness to the town Is regretter by the better element and an effort will be made to restore peace and quiet in the town. On Wednesday night W. c. Kinsella heard a racket near his store and quietly slipped on his clothing and made an investigation lumber or young men were busy kicking about his street signs and toying with everything nov able about his store on Spring street. The crowd scattered when he ap- preached. Last night after midnight the gum machine which is fastened to the front of the Kinsella store was broken open and the contents, cash and merchandise was removed. MT. Kin sella believes that the work was done by Bridgeport parties who came out to the circus and needed the cash to pay their fare home. . MT. We've is building a six room cottage in the rear of his residence on the main road at Ash Creek.
 That there Is need of police super vision was demonstrated Thursday night when a crowd of undesirables gathered in front of St. Thomas church at 11:so and made night hideous with their oaths and conversation. This point Is the fare limit for this town and a large crowd gathered af- Fatffer O'DeIl is indignant and others in the neighborhood are justly com plaining of the existing state of af- fairs which if not remedied will call for more strenuous action either on the part of the authorities or Of in dividuals who live in the vicinity.
 Lefty Flynn of the Hargrove school has been added to the force of soda dispensers at Boyle's pharmacy. Lefty has the advantage of his com peers in that he can dray two glasses of soda at a time and can also add the spit ball drop when necessary.
 There is still considerable discussion tract for the S7000 addition to the Nichols Terrace school The commit tee appointed by the voters in town meeting assembled consists of two members of the town school commit tee Moses D. Banks and William O. Burr and the three selectmen. Con- trary to the usual custom the matter of building the addition has been ta- ken out of the hands of the school committee and turned over to the se- lectmen. the school committee being in the minority. Some of those who had previously refused to bid on the job have asked for plans and specifi- cations but are unable to obtain them.
