Especial to The Farmer }

Stratford, Jan. pa sensation was
caused in Stratford today when the
names were disclosed of those who
partook in the cock fight raided by
State Policeman Anthony Fellows, as
sisted by Town officers Edward Man
chester and Fred Palmer yesterday af-
ternoon at Aerodrome park Eight
men, some officers of the law, and
member of the Bridgeport fire depart
ment were arrested and brought to
Stratford Center last evening to fur
nish a bond for their appearance in
court this morning. All furnished $40.
Only one was present at court this
morning. Their bonds were forfeited.
The names they gave to Chief Allen
D. -Judson, who was appointed as bond
holder were John Welden, Joseph
Iesko, Thomas johnson. James Jones
and William Eddeson.
1t was learned at court this morn
ing that Martin Knapp, ex-constbIe
way, Constable Edward Burritt, a
butcher living at Oronoque: Samuel
Wakelee of Avon Park, an ex-speciaI
officer; Albert Anderson, known as
'F'ussy,'' of East Broadway, and
Thomas Welsh, q. fireman, connected
with the Bridgeport fire department,
were among those apprehended.' The
that they would settle with the court
some time during the day.
More than rs had gathered in the
grove yesterday and &C aside
money it said to have been put up on
the various birds. Word was passed
to the Stratford authorities of what
was transpiring. The constables- ar
rived in due time and the crowd start
ed to disperse. So interested were
some of the members in the game that
when they saw the officers coming they
forgot some of their NppaEel4asE EQngSe
left their overcoats. rubbers and uIr1-
breIlas. Others in scaling the fence
lost their pocketbooks. It is said that
t.Fussy'' Anderson lost a $50 gold
watch during the scramble. All these
possessions are now in the hands of
the police.
State Policeman Rowe H. Wheeler
was telephoned for and he carried the
23 spurred cocks along with a, few
bags of meal to the fire house. The
birds were brought in court this morn
ing as evidence. While court was in
session the birds crowed despite the
efforts of Chief JudsOn to quiet them.
The spectators looked on with much
merrinent.
The state police are today making
an Investigation of the promoters of
the affair. and arrests probably will
follow. The birds will be kept by the
police until the owners come and
claim them. Judge Howard M. Curtis
o coupled the bench.

MILITIAMAN'S
ISLANDER SUIT TO
BE TRIED anew
"Unfortunate Personality"
Action is Scheduled For
Hearing Wednesday.

The $4,000 slander suit brought
against Capt. Albert Mossrnan of the
sixth Company OF Norwalk by .Attor-
ney Horace M. Gray Of Norwalk, an
action which caused sensation in
military circles when tried here three
years ago, is scheduled for a second
trial before Judge eager and a jury
Wednesday morning. On the previous
trial a jury awarded Gray $500 dam
ages but Judge Greene set aside the
verdict on the ground that it was rem
dered from sympathy rather than in
accordance with the evidence.
Gray asked for a finding of facts
from Judge Greene and when this was
refused he appealed to the supreme
court of errors. The highest tribunal
found no error in Judge Greene's de-
cision. Therefore a new trial was
necessary.
In 1909 Gray was a member of the
Sixth Company, with the rank of
senior sergeant. He wished to become
second lieutenant and claimed Captain
Mossman wrote in q. letter to a high
military official "Gray has an unfor-
tunate personality and if advanced
higher the company would suffer
grievously.'
Gray declared these statements dis
graced him in military circles and
caused him great humiliation. He
said he was ambitious to advance in
the company, and Captain Mossman's
statements did him much damage.

Policeman Attracts
Attention Driving
Team Through Street

A uniformed policeman seated on
the seat ofia, dump cart and driving a
highty, pair of horses, was the sight
presented pedestrians at Fairfield ave-
nue. and Main street at 10 O'Clock this
morning. when Policeman Alpheus c.
Goulden, a former circus driver, drove
a team to police headquarters after
arresting an intoxicated diver.
Policeman Gou1den was doing traf-
fc duty at this point when horses be-
ing driven by julius Outlaw, coIored,
of the Commercial house, almost ran
over pedestrians. It was apparent
that the driver was unable to handle
the reins and Policeman GouIden, as
in the days of old, leaped aboard the
wagon and took hold of the reins.
Holding the prisoner with one arm
and the reins in the other, GouIden
drove the cart west on Fairfield ave-
nue., while several citizens shouted
their approval of the mastery man
ner in which the pair of horses were
handled. The wagon is owned by
Christopher Rickard, truckman, of
Howard avenue. Outlaw was locked
up charged with being intoxicated.

Nickerson.

Regarding the modification of the
freight embargo, as applied to the
handling of shipments from the Penn.
sylvania railroad and its connections
L. b. Nickerson, general freight

for points on the New Haven lines
only, with the exception of the follow
ing building materials, structural and
reinforcing steel andI iron, stone,
lime, brick, cement, lumber, terra.
Gotta, tile and wallp1aster.
''The building materials enum erat-.
ed, however, will be received at Har-
lem river only, for points on the New
Haven lines only, when for use in
building work already under contract
or under construction. They Will not
be received for consignees anticipat-.
ing their use.''
Mr.. Nickerson said that the em-
barge, as applied to shipments from
lines other than the Pennsylvania, re-
main as heretofore, with foodstuffs,
cattle foods. coal, coke. charcoal and
other necessities alone being handled.

EXPECTS $1,000
FROM PARK CITY
TO HELP HATTERS


That Bridgeport labor union mem
bers will contribute 5000 towards the
a1leviation of the financial stress of
the union hatters affected by the fore
closure sale of their homes. was the
confident statement of Simon Blake of
Danbury, general agent of the United
Hatters Of North America, in this city
today.
Mr. Blake has been delegated to
handle the special collection of funds
in union circles. throughout Connecti-
cut. He explained today that instead
of giving the returns of the second
hour of the working day, Jan. 27, to
the hatters, most of the Bridgeport
workmen had decided to pay a fiat as
sessment, usually so cents.
On Jan. 27, union workers through
out America will contribute the wages
of the second hour of their work, to
help pay the judgment under which
the courts have directed the sale Of
homes Of the members of the Hatters'
union The judgment was given
against the union hatters because of a.
boycott declared upon the product of
a manufacturer who was opposed to
the union hatters.

trfct Attorney Weeks, of West Ches-
ter County, refused today to allow
Thomas Mott Osborne, former warden
of Sing Sing Prison, to enter plea to
the indictment charging him with inn
moral conduct. A demand that the
former warden be allowed to answer
to the indictment today was made by
his counsel, George Gordon Battle, be-
fore Justice Morschauser. but the dis
trict attorney said that it was within
his province alone to say when an ac-
cuIsed man should be allowed to plead.
He added that he had not called him
to plead at this time.
The grand jury, which indicted Mr..
Osborne, is still in session and it was
rumored that the district attorney was
seeking superceding indictment.
Justice tforschauser took briefs in
the matter and left the question as to
when the plea should be entered un-
settled. The justice postponed mean
time on motion of Mr.. Battle the date
on which Mr.. Osborne is to be tried
