 Coates Let Off With Fine.
 Pleading guilty of charges of in toxication and breach of the peace, Stanley Coates was arraigned before Justice E. P. Prior last evening and was fined $14 and costs on recom- mendation of Grand Juror M. A. Nor ton, who appeared for the state.
 The young mans appearance in court was a sequel to an encounter he had with Constable Downing Monday night. The officer attempted to stop Coates from annoying a junk dealer and as a reward for his efforts was abused himself. He found it neces- sary to arrest his tormentor, getting him to the lookup after hard tussle.
 In lieu of Coates decision to plead guilty the charge of resistance was not preferred against him. The as- sessment totalledI $22. The accused made a partial settlement and was given a month in which to pay the balance.
 Horse On Retired List.
 Rather than take the risk of hav- ing his horse meet with the fate ac- corded Black Beauty of story fame, pr. c. w. Moody has refused to sell his thoroughbred, Mary Chime, al- though he has no further use for her, and the animal will spend the rest of it's days on the farm of Joseph A. Pagan of Scotts Swamp, where it will be permitted to romp around the l pastures at will. Dr. Moody has given the horse to MT. Pagan with 1 the understanding that he is to take 1 good care of her until she has out l lived her usefulness, killing her when | she gets too old for service
 Dr. Moody recently purchased an l autom obile and he is now using the | machine in making calls on his pa l tients. For ten years the faithful l horse helped the practitioner cover l this territory, and now that it is no ! longer of use to him, her services 1 are not to be forgotten. The animal is seventeen years old and is still good roadster. Dr. Moody has re- fused offers of s1o0 to sell her. He was unwilling to take a chance on having her treated unkindly in her old l age and he refused to take money for her, preferring to give her to someone at whose hands she is sure of. humane treatment.
 Mary Chime is a real thoroughbred and is member of a family of l equines making many turf records. The animal was bought in New York fifteen years ago by the late John Prior and was subsequently, sold to pr. Moody. It is a spirited steed and it always attracted attention on he streets by it's splendid appearance
 Two Don't Qualify.
 That Stephen Leonard and John Pease, elected consta bles at the an- 1ual town meeting last month, do not Intend to serve as Eoinions of the law 1uring the year, is evidenced from he fact that they have failed to take he oath and file a bond with the se- ectmen. The officers had until yes- e1 day to qualify.
 The other constables, Philip Marino, Henry David, Cornelius Downing, AL 'ert sturgeon and Albert Anderson nave taken the oath and have signified heir intention of serving.
 While he believes it is unnecessary l o nave a regular town patrolman, F1rst Selectman Johnson considers it n1ortunate that among the constab bles here IS not one working near the cen
