l
 Westport, July 21-It is not alto- who is now rusticating at the county
 jaii in Bridgeport for an offense com
 nnitted in Greens Farms will be re- arrested on his exit from those con- l fines and charged with chicken theft. On his former trial the charge of theft l of poultry was pressed against Joseph
 but the court deemed that the evidence I was insufficient to convict. The grand juror dropped q the charge but were upheld and Kaski was given a l fine and costs. He iss now working out those charges.
 Since Kaski was taken to jail the | authorities have unearthedf consider able more evidence which they deem will send him back to Bridgeport again. Among. the evidence is that famous scarf which was found wound tightly about a chickens neck. Fhe
 scarf has been identified as that of Kaskis. So that there shall be no
 question over the Identification of the tie, the authorities have secured the clerk of the store at which the tie was purchased. This clerk knows Kasd and will testify that he pur- chased the scarf. The authorities are driven to press the charges against Kasl1i because of
 
 which have occurred within the past few weeks. They do not intend to vent their spleen on Kaski and let up on the others, but instead will go after the others with greater activity. Des- pite the greatest watchfu1ness on the part of persons who have been engag- ed by the local guardians of the peace there are still many cases of small thefts of poultry about town. Not all have been reported to the sheriffs of flee. That there are more than few engaged in the thefts, there is no doubt. While a. few do the watching the others make the hauls. As the thefts in each place only amount to a few chickens, the getaway is compara- lively easy.
 The authorities believe the thieves wIIi keep up their work until they be- come, too careless and are caught. Don't be surprised to learn some day that a system has been unearthed. showing that the chickens have been killed and shipped to other markets. They. can't keep it up long and get away with it.
 The annual town fair of the Wom- ems Town Improvement Association came to close Saturday evening, the women realizing considerable funds which will go towards the betterment Of the town. The women are to be cCn2TaIu12I0d upon LnSAT O11OE AASS have shown that through unity and cooperation much can be realized to the betterment of the town. If the men could only follow their example West port would soon be country famed. - The association has done much for westpoFt and the fair was worthy of every bit oe support accorded 1t by the residents of the town. They have made many improvements about town including streets. sidewalks, school yards, and other things, all towards the artistic betterment of Westport.
 Needless to state the fair was huge success. Every member did her best to make the affair what it proved to be. the best of the twenty annuals. Not a few Of the male citizens should come in for commendation for their efforts to make the fair better, espe- cially Arthur B. Jelliffe who had charge of the vaudeville sketches. MT. Jelliffe took charges of the show from the start and saw to it that good vaudeville acts were sent here by the New York booking agencies.
 The Connecticut Co. for the first time this year. on Saturday. oiled their portion of the roadway on all streets over which their lines pass It was a long needed necessity and should have been completed before this late date. but better late than never
 A party of picnickers bound from Ansonia to Roton Point just threw the hooks into Westport. it's citizens, ev- erything connected with the town and especially the Conn. Co. for having to walk across the State street bridge on Saturday. The walking was not the kick, but the walkers had to re- move their edib1es which were packed in boxes from one car to the other. Those who attempted to carry the huge ice cream tub acros the bridge said very many unkind words.
 That portion of the estate of Mary Anna Euck which includes the old home and grounds in Main street run ming back to the river is to be sold at auction next Saturday.
 The State highway department has irtirnated that the new Warrenitel pavement which will ebe laid to the NorwaIk town line will be completed some time during the autumn. There is doubt among several of the wiser citizens of the town that this state ment Is true eff we were to depend upon the contractors who are doing the work of laying the pavement I do not doubt but that the work would be fin ished in due time" said a well known citizen today. tebut there are other fac- tors to contend with. There has not been a public improvement enacted in this town that the town has not re- ceived a set back in some way or other from the Connecticut Co., Continuing he said, .If I understand things right ly the trolley company has been quite delinquent in arranging grades along it's road bed both east and west Of the center, especially the latter. Un- less the company takes a hand imme- diately and rights these grades the work will have to go over until next spring. It's only another phase of the inner workings of the trolley com pany."
 OBEY THAT IMPULSE!
