 Fourteen Hoboes Counted.
 There have been many complaints re- gently relative to the gathering of tramps at the deserted wood cutters camp between Plaiufield and Packer ville, near the Willimantic-Providen railroad line. Sunday morning watch CTS counted 14 undesirables depart from this shanty. Not only are they objectionable for their panhandling tactics. but also for the dangers they place the community in by their care lessness with fire. The fire warden in the section of the camp reported that he had extinguished three fires which the nomads had left behind them
 Officer Allen made a raid on the camp recently and as a result two men are now serving 30 days in the county jail.

 Jewett City Won.
 The Independents added another notch to their long list of defeats by again falling before Jewett City by a 9-2 score. Mclaughlin, an old Jewett City standby, was on the mound for the visitors and held the Independents at bay all the way, flaming 19 men. Tyler, the former PlainfeId High tWirler, was cratic, although he famed F men. His wildness, coupled with the poor support he received, account ed for the teams defeat.
