Wood company, a Danielson case, occupied Q considerable time, the judge finally taking the papers and some of the books of the corporation were laid in as exhibits.

Stone. Danielson, contractor who has a claim of 1854, this for materials of the A. F. Wood company, the building formerly owned by MT. Wood. The Curtis claim was for $33s.57.
 MT. Wood and MT. Stone, both of whom testified, agreed that MT. Wood gave MT. Stone shares of stock in the A. F. Wood company. in which MT. Wood was the majority owner, merely as security for his claim against the company; that the stock was not given to settle the account and that MT. Stone never intended to become stockholder. Later Mir.

 Mr. Wood testified that Miss Curtis bought her stock outright, paying $500 in cash for five shares. Miss Curtis estates claim is disputed on the ground that she was stockholder, not a creditor.
 The status of the company in re- gard to it's being a corporation was discussed at some length, the varied legal questions raised having their bearing on the disputed claims.

 Trespassers Fewer.
 George R. Woodward, an agent of the New Haven road, says that the number of trespassers on the com pany's right of way has been greatly reduced as the result of ths active campaign that was started against this class a few months ago. A number of the trespassers found their way into the local city court, some of them be- ing sent to jail.
 Special Interest in Campaign.
 Putnam's candidates for public of fees to be distributed in respect to the wish of the plurality votes in the November election are now all named and are more numerous than usual this fa1f owing to the fact that the democratic candidate for sheriff. Sher- if John O. Fox, and the party's can didate for senator from the Twenty eighth district, Dr. Omer Larue, are Putnam men. This fact adds consid- erable local interest to the campaign that will be in full swing from this time until election day.

 Talk of Having . Dry Town.

The idea is to have the town dry in fact. as well as in name. This plans holds a strong ap- peal for some who were approached about the matter, 1t is said, while others showed no interest in the mat ter and still others held they wanted nothing to do with it.
