FATHERS REPRiMANDED.
Chief Richmond Tells Them the Rules
 for Suits.

Sunday Chief of Police E. H. Rich mOnd was called to the Willima ntic river in the vicinity of the Nipnet canoe clubs quarters on complaint of a number of people residing on the river banks and in and around Ar holds lane and Winter street because of the large number of boys and young men bathing in the river at the foot or Arnold's lane improperly attired There are no bushes or shelter of any description at this particular spot. and the youngsters have been accustomed to undreSs in the open and take a plunge i'll the cooling waters of the flNer. There was q crowd of p or 30 enJoying the summer paStime when the chief arrived. They were given q reprimand and told that they must either undress out of sight of the resi- dents and boating parties and that they must wear proper bathing apparel or not go in swimming at all at that point
 Chief Richmond will take the matte. up with Mayor D. P. Dunn the first of the week and in all probability the city will be requested to build some sort of stockade or bathing house where the young men and Doys can un- dress and put on bathing suits without annoying the people who have recently made complaints. The cost of such a bath house would be insignificant and would provide quarters for many who do not now dare to' take a swim in that part of the river. which is considered lar better than the portion known as the Eel-wire, Farther up stream that is fringed with bushes on the right bank.

 were riding when it was struck by d
 southbound freight train at the Main street crossing in Danielson a few
