 squad of soldiers assembled near his home. The trouble all started, last night, when Solomon and his wife visited Derby and spent an evening in close proximity to the flowing bowl. The good cheer still fingered. this morning, and when a number of sol- diers called at the house. to purchase bread, Mrs. Kelly refused to let them have any and because of her stub bornness her spouse hit her over the head with a board. In trying to dodge the board, Mrs. Kelly stuck her arm through pane of glass, cutting it quite severely. - Kelly did not like the ministering care of the soldier boys who bound up his wife's wounds and, getting his old army revolver, let go at them three times. His vision was somewhat dimnned and all three bullets. went wide of their mark.
 s Asf the Iasta bullet abuzzed9 overstheiT heads, the. soldier lads charged and captured Kelly and held him until a policeman from Derby took him in charge.
 Bedding Ridge, Aug. 15.-Redding Ridge, held by the Blue army is the center for which the Red army is headed, and fast approaching. There was no battle today but one is as- sured tomorrow. The two armies, now working upon the initiative of the militia commanders, will maneu- yer throughout the night and gem era lengagement is anticipated, very early tomorrow. The nearest thing to a battle today was early this morn ing when. 20 mounted Reds came in- to small outpost of Blues on foot, near the Aspetuck river. The Reds saw their danger ands fled.
 There is now a heavy column of Reds. 1.5O0 strong. lying East of the Aspetuck river which is directly opposite Bedding Ridge camp of Blues. Another long line of Reds appeared today near Saugatuck river, east of the Blue camp at Bedding Center, and still another column of Reds IS north of Bedding Ridge.
 In addition. to the Blue camps at the Ridge and at Bedding Center there are several smaller camps in Jump Hill. which has been designated as 'Flirt HilP' on the war maps, though this name was never heard of before. The name has caused much confusion. These camps at Jump Hill include about 2.50O men. All of the Blues moved considerable distance toward the Ridge today and with their retreat came the Reds closing in upon them. There are three camps of the Blues. one at Bedding Ridge, one at Bedding Center, and the other at Jump HILL
 The Ridge road is alive with soldiers. automobiles and army wagons. Tele- graph and signal wires are being strung all along; a wireless station has been located at the Center and the surrounding neighborhood has every appearance of being in the hands of the soldiers. Moving pie ture men are on the job ready to re- cord the big battle of tomorrow on their films and many tourists have invaded the country to see the fun.
