 Warrant For Guino.
 Prosecutor Norton yesterday issued a warrant for the arrest of George Guino, who it is alleged assaulted Hermann Gross, a Hartford bottle salesman, last Saturday. The papers were issued at the request of the Hartford man and were given to De- putty Sheriff Hart for service.
 Gross claims that Saturday when he visited Russell's saloon, where Guino is employed as bartender, the latter got into an argument with him and after he got outside punched him. From information in the prose- cutor's possession, the pair got into an argument and while Gross was gesticu1ating wildly, the bartender pushed him and he fell to the ground.
 The case is scheduled to come up for a hearing tonight although it was said that the pair might patch up their differences in the meantime and the authorities would overlook it as the row was of a trivial character.

 Found Old Report Cards.
 Among the ruins of an old house on lot on Nea's court, owned by the Pierce estate, workmen this morning found two old school re- port cards which were issued nearly fifty years ago, a room of the old graded schools having been conduct ed in the building about that time. The cards were reports of the stand
 
 ley, who were pupils in the school at the time. Miss Smalley had an excellent report and while Judge Nears card proved that he was mak- ing splendid progress with his studies, old timers say that the figures in the department column at least showed that he was not class mon itor.
 The Lizzie Smalley, whose name one of the cards bore, was daugh- ter of Roland B. Smalley. She was married to Walter Woodruff and. has been dead for several years.
 The reports were of considerable interest. to Judge Neal and other old residents, who attended the school They recalled that the three "Rs' were taught in the building when the town first started graded schools, the upper classes occupying one room. Mrs. George Clark and Sally Mclean were the teachers.
 The building is one of the oldest structures in town. It was at one time the residence of Appois Fenn. at the time sheriff of Hartford county and was also occupied at different times by other we'll known citizens.
 During the past few years it was fast going to pieces. It became an eyesore to the street and as tramps made it their headquarters. the own CTS arranged to have it razed.
