 Fairfield, Sept. 5.-Game Warden Wilbur Smith of Norwalk with his deputy, John B. Boyle, of this place, have been actively engaged within the past few days sIeuthing about Fair held beach and also in the Fairfield woods. With the law on game off the first of the month, there are many who take a chance at shooting with out enjoying a license. A resident H cense costs but a small amount, but Tor nonresident it is somewhat dearer. Rather than pay the addi- t1onal fees some will take a chance with the law and enjoy the sport without paying for it. The law is not off on all game, another matter which calls for greater activity and watch fulnetss on the part of the -wardens. It has been reported here that birds on which the law is not off have been shot, but the guilty parties were not seen by the authorities they go free. However the wardens and their assistants enjoy great powers, and can search any place where they believe game birds have been hidden. With out a warrant a game warden Or his deputy or any other person deputized by the deputy could go into any Fair field home and search for fish or game. Fish and game wardens seem to be the only officials in this state who
 
 At the town clerks olive five resi- dents enjoying licenses to catch lob sters, are registered. Yet, however, there are more than that number who maintain pots in Fairfield. Warden 1 Smith was informed of this circum- stance and instructed Deputy Boyle to take pains in locating the owners. Deputy Boyle succeeded in finding out I the owners of the unlicensed pots,, but they were wise enough to keep from being seen at the traps. Last week after waiting for some tine for the owners to put in appearance, it was learned they were New Workers stop ping at the beach, Deputy Boyle sunk l five sets.
 | Warden Smith came to Fairfield on two occasions last year. Each time an arrest followed The season pre- vtous he was around, and then arrests also fo1e wed. He has been seen here within the past few days, so look for | another arrest.
 Warden Smith received his reap pointment as warden for this county last week He has again deputized MT. Boyle his local deputy. There seems great proba bi1ity that William Robbins, who drove the car which ran down and killed John O'DWyer in Southport, and James Meade of Stoughton, Mass owner of
 
 r1ous charges than reckless driving, | when the hearing in the case will be | held before Judge Wakeman on Sept. IS. Because of the conflicting testi- | mony given before Coroner Phelan the l fCre part of the week, both men were arrested by Sheriff Elwood There is l a probability that Coroner Phelan may hold the men responsible for the death of the youth A continued coroner's S hearing will be held on Saturday. Robbins and Meade are out on $500 bail furnished by Richard Banston
 who is chief of police of Stoughton ! When the court hearing is called sev- era1 witnesses will be brought here from New York. They were the oc- cupante of the automobile which the Meade car passed just before striking
 the boy.
 The fremen expect to move into their new home in Marine avenue 1 either Saturday Or Monday. The new
 fire house is quite modern in many circumstances and will house the f1re- men and their apparatus for many years to come. A fine concrete walk, l laid to the grade of the street. has l been put in front of the buiIding l The floor of the fire house is also con l crete. Under the auto chemical is a
 pit in which the mechanics can work l upon the engine.
 The new school room in the fire
 house will also be ready for occupancy | on Monday. It was expected that this
 room would have been ready for the school children, this week, but owing to delays among the workmen the work 1 was held up. It is now assured that
 the room will be ready on Monday | The Republicans of the town~w will hold their annual ttget together meet | ing, clam bake and outing, in the
 orchard of Simeon Pease in Greenfield l Hill on Saturday. Yearly the Repub- 1 l1cans of the town meet at such gath
 er1ngs, swap stories and such, and
 among other things fix up a slate to
 be presented to the voters at the fol-
 lowing election. As the annual town
 election will be held in about four
 weeks, the slate will probably be
 fixed up at this meeting. In the mean
 while the Republican caucus is to be
 held, but that is only a formality, the
 names presented at the "bake' being given the official stamp at the pri-
 r:sary. One prominent Republican of 1 fcial when asked today if there was
 probability of town officers baine, spoken of, said, You don't mean 1 spoken of,' you mean elected. We aI-
 ways elect them at this meeting.' .'
 Judging from past events there's lots
 of truth in his statement.
 1 Aside from discussing politics, those who attend the outings always have a | good time. About 200 are expected to l attend.
 . Registrars of Voters William Dal-
 ling and James H. Farrell have posted
 notices that they will be at the town
 hall Sept IS from g o'clock in the
 morning until 5 in the afternoon for i of-1 1Ixir,
