WOMAN CLOSED ROAD.
SeIeotman Opened lt-Suits for 1000
 Damages Result.

In the superior court here Tuesday, the session commencing at 10.3 30 a. m. with Judge NJ. A Shumway on the bench. the case of Henrietta J. Bor- gesson of Central Village vs. John w. Gallup, Moosup, seleetman of the town of Plainfield, was tried.
 The suit grew out of a difference of opinion as to whether or not cer- tain old road on Shepard hill. near Central Village, is a public highway, the plaintiff. who has a farm there, causing 1t to be fenced up. The fence was torn down by selectman Gallup, was replaced by persons represent ing the plaintiff and was again taken down by Mir. Gallup. Next stone wall was built where the fences had been and this barricade was removed by order of Marcel Jette. another of the selectmen of Plainfield. at that time. Mir. Gallup was acting for the town in removing the fences but the suit was brought against him personally.
 A large number of witnesses testi- fled during the trial and much evil dence of interest was brought forth to it's use as a public highway. One witness testified to knowing of the old road being in use as far back as 1860, and 1844 is the date claimed for it's original opening.
 The tract cut off by the fences and the wall that were erected is trian- gular in form and contains only one twenty-ffth of an acre. The damages claimed by the plaintiff in the several counts in the complaint as first pre- scented amounted to a total of $1000. Attorney Charles V. James of Norwich represented Mrs. Borgesson, Attorney A. G. Bill of Danie1son and Attorney Charles E. Searls of Putnam repre- senting Mir Gallup.
 When court adjourned for the day the case had not been completed, but will be continued today.

FlREMAN's SHOCKING DEATH.
F. H. conrady of Rockville Either Jumped or Was Hurled from Cab When Boiler Flue Blew Out.

F. H. Conrady 27, fireman met a shocking death just before midnight Monday as the result of the blowing out of a f1ue of the boiler of locomo- tive No. 296. while a heavy west bound freight train was being hauled up the grade just west of Pomfret station. Engineer L. A. Wiggins, Needham, Mass, was somewhat scald ed by the escaping steam and burned by live coals from the firebox, but did not suffer serious injuries.
 Conrady was either hurled from the cab by the force of the explosion or jumped to save himself from being burned and scalded-just what did happen after the explosion probably never will be known-but his body crushed and mangled, was later found by the train crew.
 The fireman's skull was crushed both legs had been cut off, as had one arm, and there were numerous cuts and bruises on the body. It is thought that Conrady went down between the locomotive and tender, the wheels ot the latter dismembering him.
 Coroner Arthur G. Bill. Danielson viewed the body Tuesday and it was later removed to the home of the de- ceased in Rockville The locomotive that figured in the accident was given 8 thorough inspection Monday fore noon. the regular monthly test.

Some time ago the question of put ting a sewer through the streets on which are situated the houses whose sewers empty into Beaver brook WAS raised. Many of the principal resi- dences of the town have their sewer pipes connected with this river and it was thought that it was endangering the health of the people who lived by the riverside. When the brook is at high water the stream is sufficient to carry off all deposits, but frequently only a small rivulet flows through it, and a bad odor is given off.
 Now the sewerage question has been brought forcibly before the property holders. Injunctions were recently served on them notifying them that no sewer could hereafter empty into Beaver brook and summoning them to appear in court to answer why they should not have a through sewer pipe connected Accordingly Monday even ing in the town hall meeting Of the committed property holders and tax
