FRESH WATER is IMPORTANT
Supply for Young Pigs Easily Obtained
II Automatic Fountain Is Used
Keep Bedding Dry.

Keeping a generous supply of fresh
water at hand for the young pigs Is
important. This can be easily done
if an automatic fountain is used. The
bedding should be clean and dry even
if the weather is warm. Dipping the
pigs occasionally and disinfecting the
quarters frequently will prevent dis
ease.

WiIlino Worker.

An amusing incident is told which
took place in one of the occupied dis
tricts of Belgium where the German
occupier doles out potatoes to such
of the starving people as agree to work
for him. One recipient presented him
self before the German authorities and
declared himself quite ready in return
for supply of potatoes to work for
the Germans and only for them. He
seemed quite decided and genuine in
his offer to work.
"Then you are laIte willing to sign
the declaration?' asked the German
officer.
Eyes, quite willing"

JOE MARSHAL
 DENIES FIRING
 TWICE IN FIGHT
Refutes Testimony of Police men Concerning Boarding
 House Brawl.

Before Coroner PheIan today Joseph Marshall who shot and killed Pedro Dias Monteria in a brawl in the shack at 854 Iranistan avenue, Saturday night, denied that he told the police he fired two shots at the man.
 Sergeant O'Conneu and Policemen Lavin and Walsh all testified that Marshall told them he fired once and seeing that the shot did not take eff feet, he fired a second time. Mon teria was shot through the left eye the bullet entering his brain. Mar shall today explained the presence of two empty cartridge shells in his re- VoIver after he was arrested by say- ing that after he had shot Monteria he left the, house with the revolver in his hand. He had his finger on the trigger and inadvertently pressed discharged outside the house. Mar shall insists he shot to frighten Mon teria and not to kill him.
 The man who did the shooting and the woman, Violet Diggs, who collect ed the rent of the house where the shooting took place, are American ne groes. The dead man was a native of the Portuguese West Indies There is some dispute as to the position of the body after the shooting. Mrs Diggs was very friendly with the dead man. She was having a quarrel with her brother over rent when MOnteria interfered to save her from injury. Marshall claims he stepped in as a peacemaker and then Monteria began beating him with lamp.
 The Diggs woman says she left her money in the house and returned after it, finding the body of the dead man there. She claims she thought Mon teria was only unconscious and she raised him in her arms and kissed him. It is thought she may have changed the position of the body when she laid it down again.
 Coroner Phelan will make a finding tomorrow.

READY TO TURN OVER PROPERTY
 TO HOTEL FIRM

Notification that the option 1ere- tofore held by H. c Bentley of New York, on the First Methodist church property, Fairfield avenue and Broad street, and expiring at midnight to- day would be taken up and payment of the stipulated price made was to- day served upon John H. Wade, pres ident of the board of trustees of the First Methodist church society.
 A copy of the notification was plac- ed on file Up to a late hour this af- ternoon the money had not been turn ed over to the society, but it was ex- pected it would be before the expira- ton of the option.
 Colonel Wade said: ''The situation as it stands this afternoon is that the trustees agreed to give a deed to the man holding the option, providing he pays the $1O0,0OO. We have received notification that this will be done in accordance with the terms of the op- ton, but as yet have seen no money If it is not forthcoming we shall not continue the option.'
 From another source it was learn ed that should the deeds be taken the church is compelled to move by July l. in which case the congrega- tion will have to worship in some hall until a permanent edifce could be built.

c. M. MiddIebrook
 Dies At Brookline

Clarence M. Mfdd1ebrook, a former resident of this city, died this morn ing at his home in Brook1ine, Mass, after a short illness. MT. NIiddIebrook for many years had been connected with the Besse clothing stores. About 1884 he was bookkeeper with the First National bank.

He was the head of these offices at the time of his death. MT. Middlebrook was about 60 years of age He was particularly well known in this city where a. host of friends will be shocked to learn of his death as he visited here in the early part of February and appeared to be enjoying the best of health. He is survived by a widow, who is an aunt of Mrs. William P. Hind1e, wife of the local druggist.

FORGED FATHER
 TO LIVE IN BARN AND TAKE DRINK

That Stanley Watts, the young U M. c. Co., stenographerv tried all one night to force his father to sign a deed to valuable Westport property, was the testimony of Rev. Charles Taylor of Greenwich when the third trial of the action brought by Samuel Purdy, administrator, against Stanley Watts was started this morning before Judge Gager and a jury in the civil superior court.
 The clergyman stated that Sidney Watts, whose estate is involved in the present action, told him about his sons threats. The witness declared Watts said his Life was hell and that it wasn't worth living" The elder Watts claimed his son Stanley forced kim to live in the barn and compelled him to drink so that the property might be deeded away to Stanley
 The elder Watts had been placed in a sanatorium to cure him of the drink ing habit. but shortly after his release he killed himself at his Westport home. It was found that he had deed ed this property to his son Stanley In two previous trials in the superior cour the deed was set aside by the jury on the ground that Stanley had undu1y influenced his father The present action was brought by the other Purdy heirs to recover $25,oO0 damages on the ground that Stanley had not properly supported his father.
 Dr. Samuel H. HunAngton of Nor walk, testified today that he examined Sidney Watts after he had been sent to the sanatorium and found him phy- sicaIy and mentally broken down The trial probably will continue for several days.
