Along nAuto Hike '

Dr. E. G. Haskell, Roy Young and Harold Cook, of Beverly, Mass, struck Canaan Friday on their two weeks automobile "hike" through the country. and put up at the home of Postmaster E.. L. Roberts, whose good wife was a former resident of Beverly ,and an old time acquaintance of theirs, who enter. tained them during their stay here.
 This hike was their summer outing. and brought them through the wilder nesses of New Hampshire, the White Mountains, the Adirondacks, through Glens Falls and Saratoga, with detours to other points that ran the pointer ot the cash register around to indicate a fraction of O,OO0 miles.
 They carried tent and camp outfit, did their own cooking and canlped where night overlook them. Ned Roberts says their adventures with the perils of the .wilds-ferocious beasts, wild Indians, etc., would fill la book not a book as big as the dictionary, per .haps, but one about as large as you would naturally suppose-and.although they carried pans, kettles and slzimmers enough to run a shore hotel, and three editions of cook k-books, they didn't get square meal until they reached Canaan and found the way to the Roberts din- ing room

DISOBEYED COP
William Torrant Fined for Autoing Left Side of Street.

For running his automobile around the east corner of Main and Railroad streets on the left-hand side, in utter disregard of both billy -cop' the silent, and Constable Trieschmann the assertive, and for disobeying the order of the constable to stop after going wrong, William Torrant, a plumber employed by Decker x Beebe, was fined Tuesday, S5 and costs on each count, a total of S23. S2, by Justice George w. Ford. An appeal was taken and bonds fixed at $100. John Graves qualified as bondsman. and the defendant was liber- ated, to appear for trial in the Superior court at Litchheld. J. Clinton Rora. back appeared for the state, and l.. J. Nickerson for Torrant.
 The hearing was held i'll the Town Hall and a considerable number of spectators were present, the case having excited no little local interest.
 Constable Trieschmann, the first wit. ness called, testified that he stood near the crossing at DempSey's drug store and saw Torrant drive down Railroad street in his auto and turn the corner on the left side. He ran out and sig. nailed Torrant to stop but "the little old Ford rambled right along" at 20 miles an hour, and, said Triecshmann, eff hadn't jumped to one side he would have run over ne.
 Torrant testified that he was running at a rate of & to 10 miles an hour, that he took the left side of the street at the corner, after ascertaining that nc teams, autos or persons were near the spot, because a slow-going team ahead of him, going in the same direction was in his way. He saw no badge oi office on the constable and did not posi- lively know Trieschmann was a quail fed officer.
 It was contended in the plea for tht state that Torrant had purposely defiet the officer in pursuance of an organized plan to discredit him. MT. Rorabacl characterized Torrant as a "good fel low" and regretted to see him in tht attitude of discrediting an officer of tn, law.
 Attorney Nickerson ridiculed the idle, of Torrant being a deliberate law breaker, and showed that the defendant had satisfied himself that there was nc danger to any other person when ht took the left hand side of the street. | Justice Ford gave an elaborate inter pretation of the law and gospel apply ing to the case and wound mp by render l ing judgment as recorded above.

MAN FOUND DEAD
Had Been Dead More Than a Week
 When Discovered.

The dead body of a man evidently about 65 years of age was found on the land of Benson brothers, South Canaan road, Monday morning, near the foot of the hill. The man had evidently been dead for at least week and de- composition was we'll advanced.
 MT Benson notified Deputy Sheriff I. P. Hornbeck of the discovery, and Med rcal Examiner F. S. Skiff was sum- moned, who viewed the bo y and gave permission to have it removed to Horn beck's undertaking rooms. It was pre- pared for burlal and deposited in the vault at Grassy Hill Cemetery to await identification.
 Nobody in Falls Village or South Canaan positively knew who the man was, but he is known to have been in the neighborhood for some weeks, and had been seen in Canaan. A number of empty quart whiskey bottles around the body not only indicated that he had made thespot his headquarters for some time, but gave clue to the possible cause of his death. The finding of the local examiner was that death was the result of exposure and alcoholism.
 On the body was found badge con- taining the words American Detective Association.
 On the supposition that the dead man was one Edward H. Balch, a tran sient laborer who had worked a few days at time for various farmers in the region, inquiries were sent out re- sulting in information that the supposi- tion was correct. Balch it is said, came of good family, and has a son living in New York; a sister, Mrs. Cornelia A. Butler, ill Robertsville and neice, Celia w. Moore, Winsted.
 He was a native of Sandisfeld, Mass, and had been married twice. He had been regarded as ''queer," and had a delusion that he was detective.

As Manager Miss Considine also presides over the desti- nies of the Cornwall and LakeEille Ex. changes. y
