REORGANIZATION ROAD
To Be Improved by Highway Com
 missioner Bennett.

Motorists in this section welcome the news that State Highway Com missioner Bennett has agreed to list that stretch of road from Brooklyn Center to Hampton for improvement and reconstruction as state highway. About everybody with any influence in towns in this section has been jockey ing around for the past few years try ing to get the state highway depart ment to name this or that route as a trunk line between Providence and Hartford. In the meantime, the route via Danielson, Brooklyn and Hampton, the most direct of all the routes, has been given the go-by.
 This apparent neglect of a, very de- sirable route has not failed to arouse a great deal of adverse comment, but it seems now that results are to be obtained When the matter came up for discussion at Hartford recently, Representative Harry E. Back of this town spoke in favor of the measure.
 Why auto traffic should be diverted from a direct. route between. Provi- dence and Hartford over state high ways that follow a roundabout course is not understandable to most people here except on the basis of helping other towns through which the routes pass. Kiilingly. Brooklyn and Hamp- ton have no objection to other county towns having all the state roads they want but when it comes to a discus sion of best routes to Hartford from Providence or vice versa there are few who would care to dispute that the logical route is through Killingly to Hampton. If there has been rea- son for building other routes, there is most certainly as good for building the route, complete, that now seems an assured prospect.

the capture of a, horse thief, as pro- vided in the statutes. The young men were responsible for the apprehension of George ArsenauIt Saturday night, October 3, 1914, when ArsenauIt took the horse of Charles Auston of North Grosvenordale from where it was hitched near EIuIIan's store in this city and attempted tC drive it into Massa- chuSetts.
 Swanson and Prince, hearing of the loss of the horse, set out in an auto mobile to look for it and came across Arsenault, driving fast, near North Grosvenordale. Arsenault vaulted over a wheel of the rig and allowed the horse to go in his effort to es- cape, but Swanson put after him and caught him. The young men deliver ed their prisoner over to Constable Supernault of the town of Thompson. Afterwards, in the superior court Ar senault pleaded guilty and was sen fenced to serve from 2 to 1 years in the state prison. Attorney Howard C. Bradford appeared for Messrs. Swan son and Prince, and State Attorney Searls stated he believed they were en- titled 70 receive a reward for the services they rendered, services in which they took the chance of being injured.

The court also ordered that Duprey pay his wife alimony of i $5 a week until otherwise ordered. 1 Court adjourned until next Wednes- l day morning at 10,30 when the Ken i nedy-Tillinghast case is assigned for i trial.
 Common Pleas Court Would Prove
 Advantageous.
 Some discussion has been heard here l recently of how convenient it would i be to have a common pleas court ill 1 " inahaIn county, that the superior i court might not be burdened with what are really minor cases. It is not i rare for these cases to occupy as much time, and often more, than far more important ones and at heavy ex- | pense to the state. It is not very prob T able that d cC mmon pleas court will be esta a5liSheG in this county, however, !, as all conditions considered, there is TO Eress1ng need of such a tribunal.
 Another suggestion heard for reliev- | ing the superior court of the minor cases is that the county be divided into three district courts and district l courts established, to which suits in-
 voIving small amounts might be taken.
