 May Try Suit In March.
 Selectman w. J. Johnson was noti- fled this morning by Judge w. F. TIenney of Hartford, that the suit of the Town of Plainville against the Bristol and PlainVille Tramway com pany which has been pending for over a year will probably be assigned for trial in the superior court next month
 The action is to recover for dam ages alleged to have been caused to the town by the destruction of shade trees by gas escaping from the com pany's mains. The trees were killed several years ago and the company made settlement with the property owners for the loss they suffered.
 The town also claims to have been damaged by reason of an impairment of the appearance of the street and the loss of protection to the high ways which trees afford. Tn addi- ton the town wants bursement for the expense it was put to in re- moving the stumps of the dead ma pies and elms and the compensation given to experts who examined the trees.
 Efforts have been made to settle the case out of court but thus far they have proven unsuccessful. When the suit comes up for trial, Judge Henney will represent the town and Attor- ney N. E. Pierce will appear for the company.

 Twenty young couple enjoyed a leap year dance in the Town hall last eve ming. The affair was arranged for by local young ladies and there were guests from Willimantic, New Britain and Bristol in addition to Plainville parties.
 The patronesses were Mrs. Charles Andrews, Mrs. William Eaton and Mrs. Helen Norway.

 Cafterty was arrested Thursday night by Constable Henry David. He was charged in court with drunken ness and using abusive language. The accused had a jail sentence hanging over him from a previous arrest Justice Condell said that the case was a problem to him. He knew tha Cafferty was a good law abiding citi zen when not drinking and he dislil1et sending him to jail. He had give1 him every reasonable chance to keel out of court. All had failed and h. believed the pledge to be the onl, card left to play.
