new people are from Texas and Ar
kansas. some of them come from
Iowa, Kansas and other northern
states Numerous small tracts of In

the CRATER is not getting much of it,
As the restrictions are removed by
operation of law and as some of the
allottees pass away. these lands are
rapidly being taken up. And there
is no better land in the state than
this. There is TO be general sale

TO HANG IN DUBLIN. Former New Britain Man Sentenced to Death, Charged with Murder.

A New Britain correspondent writes: Word was received in this city today of the conviction of William Scanlon, formerly of New Britain, of the crime of murder in Dublin, Ireland. Scan Ion, who is a citizen of the United States, was sentenced to be hanged in Dublin. January f. It was his third trial, and it lasted several days
 Copies of Dublin papers just re- ceived, in giving the particulars of the convicted man, state that he was for merly a citizen of New Britain, Conn. The crime for which Scanlon was convicted was committed in Munster. He had two trials in his own county and there was q disagreement each time. A motion for a change of venue was granted and Scanlon was taken to Dublin for his third trial.
 The evidence against him was wholly circumstantiaI. The victim of the murder was 8 young woman. She was found strangled to death in a wood reached by a lonely path. The principal witnesses were two men who saw Scanlon walking along the road with the woman. They saw the pair disappear on the path which led through the wood.
 Since the first trial both of the wit nesses named, who were aged men, have died, and there was a long legal fight on the admissability of their evidence at the tn1fU lrldl Scanlon was finally convicted in Dublin and the time for his execution set for January 4.
 Scanion, as stated, was formerly a member of the regular army of the United States. He served in the Philippines, and was wounded in an engagement, for which he was re- ceiving a pension. He lived in this city seven or eight years ago and boarded with q family on Myrtle street. He worked at P. & F. Cor bins He was a native of Ireland and returned there a few years ago.

Biz Auction Sale of Horses.

Next week Tuesday, Williams Bros, proprietors of the New Eastern Horse Market, Allyn street, Hartford, will start the season of 1911 with their first auction. This means that 75 head of fine horses will be ready for inspec- ton and purchase. From Ohio are coming the handsome heavy draft horses, and from Psnnsyivania the farm chunks and business horses. The buyer for Williams Bros. are cautioned to select nothing but the finest horses on the farms. This is necessary, for the reason that any and every horse sold at this large market is guaranteed to be as represented, or money refunded.
 Leading business men of the state insist on buying their horses at Will jams Bros and the fact that last years business was far ahead of any previous. indicates that people who buy one horse como back for more.
 It will pay you to attend this big auction sale next Tuesday when horses will be sold less than other dealers would have to charge for as good an- ixnals. You don't have to be a judge in buying of Williams Bros, for they tell you precisely what each horse is, what 1t can do, what service it will give you. You are going to want horses this spring and summer-keep Williams Bros. in mind and you'll get the best horses and save money, too.

 The sole condition upon which the purse is offered is that the man must go up in the air at Seaside park and land near MT. Beach's house so as to show him that Bridgeport is not so slow after all, as it will then be able to boast of a man who has actually made q flight through the air.
