DEER DAMAGED TREES
IN MONTVILLE ORCHARD
About 1853 Practically Ruined-Prop
erty of Frank w. Browning.

What appears to be the worst case
of damage done by deer in Montvilie
in many years was reported to the Sc
lectnen this week. About 1873 young
fruit trees have been eaten and dam
aged to such an extent that they are
practically ruined. These trees are
on the property of Frank w. Brown
ing, en- the north side of Haughton
cove, principally on the property
known as Wytehville Haunt, formerly
owned by John Lathrop.
Mr.. Browning put out most of the
trees, which are mainly peach, with
some apple and other varieties, a lit
tie over a year ago, anticipating to
rear a profitable fruit orchard. The
damage was discovered early in this
week. The seleetmen appointed tive
appraisers to look the orchard over.
John H. VALET and Joseph Smith be
ing chosen. The appraisers looked the
trees over on Wednesday, but have not
announced their estimate on the dam
age
Some damage was done to the trees
last year by deer, but not at all to the
extent of this. The orchard lies in d
secluded spot, with abundant woods al
around so the deer have every oppor-
tunity to browse without being dis
tui bed.

difficult to see the target plainly.
After a while the firing ceased and the
gun details were ordered hack to
Samp.
At midafternoon the fog had lifted
somewhat, and the target. 5000 yards
Firing was resumed. The Sixth Ninth,
Twelfth. Seventh and Thirteenth COM
panies completed their trial shooting,
each having two shots. The other
companies of the corps must have
their trial shots before the shooting
for record will begin.
The trial shots provide means for
the gunners to gauge the distance
which it is required to send the pro-
jectile. The regulations. provide that
the record shots shall be fired at least
"a hours after the trial shooting and
not more than ten days after.
The sanitation of the camp IS be-
ing scored on percentage basis, each
company being credited specified
per cent. for cleanliness of quarters,
kitchen ana place of mess There
continues to be no illness. Unless an
epidemic strikes the camp before Sat
urday, when will camp will be broken,
it is expected record for encamp-
ment free from illness will be estab-
EShed

POLICE MUST NOT STOP
FOR SOCIAL CHATTER.
New Regulations Have Gone Into Eff
feet in the Department.

New orders have been given to tho
members of the police force, to the
effect that hereafter they must not
linger along the street for the purpose
of engaging in conversation of social
nature with those whom they may
meet on the street. There had previ-
ously been no restriction in this regard
and some people seemed to think the
police needed someone to entertain
them while on duty.
The members of the force are direct
ed to avoid gossiping, but to tend
strictly to their duties. They, how
ever, can be spoken to and are per-
fectly justified in talking with anyone
who may be seeking help, making a
complaint, asking about cars. trains or
locations. but the idea is to have them
on the job all the time.

Defendant Wins Case.

A decision has been handed down by
Judge Waller in the court of common
pleas in the case of Cruthers & Liili-
bridge VS.. Michael II. Donohue for the
defendant to recover his costs. In mis-
memorandum of decision he says that
the contract was somewhat inconsist-
ent, but he felt that the contractors
were bound to build the roof because
of the specifications that were signed.
The plaintiffs built mill for the de-
PENDANT but did not put a roof on.
The bill was $10,223.11, and from thar
was deducted $3.50 which it cost the
defendant to have the roof constructed.
The suit was for that amount.

New Gable to Fishers Island.

A large number of 35-foot poles have
arrived at Groton Long Point to be
used for stringing a telephone cable
from the main line on the railroad
tracks to the end of land on Long
Point. From here the cable will go
under water across the sound to Fish
er's Island. 1t is said that the present
cable which runs from Eastern Point,
is nearly worn out and new one is
necessary for the Fishers Island ex-
change. Groton Long Point was prob
ably picked out as the land terminal
of the cable because it takes much less
wire to run from there to Fishers ISL
and than it would from the present
situation of the mainland end.
