Mass, was arrested as he dozed in an empty freight car in the l Pit" Officer Perry made the arrest, Ray said he was headed for Bristol where he is going to work for the Bristol Brass company where board and lodging is provided by the com- pany He was sent on his way.
 Says He ''Found" Chicken.
 Joseph Komiski and Edward Me- hiliski were arrested by Officers Hayes and Perry on Myrtle street Saturday night on the charge of drunkenness, but the men were suspected Of having stolen a chicken and a peck of pota- toes The men explained that as they went out of a Main street saloon they found a box containing the chicken and potatoes so took them.

 Rose Is Fined $2O.
 Philip J. Rose was fined $20 and costs for reckless driving at the cor ner of Grove and Myrtle streets last Tuesday when a Rec truck, owned by the New Britain Lumber & Coal com- pany. which he was driving, cOllided with a, Ford runabout owned by the Andrews, Swift company in which vas riding J. R. Andrews and H. c. Barlow. MT. Barlow said his car was going down Myrtle street on the right side of the road at a, twelve or fifteen mile clip when Rose swung around the corner at a, rate estimated at between fifteen and twenty five miles an hour and collided with him, smashing his car. Further evidence showed that Barlow's ma- chine was on the right side of the road and proceeding at moderate rate while Rose drove around the corner at a fast rate of speed ana crashed into him. Rose and his wit nesses however, denied the charge and said Barlow was going at about hfteen or twenty miles an hour, While ne was going but eight. He said that the Ford car actually collided with him. Rose further testified that his car IS g. 1910 Rec and is capable of making

singer. And sch is surrounded bv a cast we'll capable of giving her proper support There are some among these who appeared in the original cast, notably Charles Udell who DOT trayed the typical country constable, Si Perkins, and did it to the Queens taste. His one song proved the hit of the night, "The Shoes of Husband No. as Worn by Husband No. g."
 Then there was a mysterious char acter, a person who always main tained an equinamity that was appa1- ling, who never lost his boise, who never gave away his identity, and who borrowed money from every one cab able of lending. This role in the hands of MT. Carl Stall was more than well taken care of, as was the German comedian part essayed by MT. Ben Hendricks. Miss Fife Toye as the engenue scored a big success especial ly in her duet with Miss We1ch when one of the prettiest songs of the even- ing was sung, For Better or for WOrse." The lead juvenile part was in the keeping of Mr. Frank Rose who filled the bill to a nicety.

behave on several occasions and has had several complaints about him. Gullano appeared to be greatly sur prised that he should be arrested for trying to force his attentions upon the young lady clerk.
 T didn't intend to do any harm. I want to make that girl my lover. ' he said. Asked if she was acquaint- ed with him. GulIano said: Well, she knows me by sight; anyway. I didn't think there was any wrong in my loving her. His wanton loving cost the ardent Gullano no less than $10 and costs.
 O. H. BALDWIN IS EXCUSED. C. H. Baldwin was charged with driving his automobile past 8 stand ing trolley car on West Main street on October 22. He admitted the charge, but explained in a way that showed him to be innocent of any in tentiOnal wrong. Conductor Norman Middletown said that Baldwin drove past his car in front of City Hall without stopping, just as a woman was alighting. Joseph Nealon said he saw the auto pass the car. MT. Baldwin explained that there was string of three cars on the tracks in front of City Hall and, judging from past experience, he thought the last car was an empty one waiting for the others to pull around the corner Therefore he did not stop, and was greatly surprised as he drove past to see a woman alight. He told the court he has driven hundreds of thousands of miles and was never in trouble. He was let go with a warn ing.
 Mans Nose Broken.
 Martin Stuslicki was in court to testify against Julius Vosaris and William Lazaunikas who he said had beaten him up in Lithuanian hall on Park street Saturday night Lawyer 2. F. McDonough and Joseph A. Glover appeared for the two accused and asked a continuance until to- r1orrow. Stuslicki claims that the two men beat him over the head and across the nose with a beer bottle, cracking his scalp and f1attening out his nose. The mans nose appeared to be broken and 1t required five stitches to close the wound.

PICkPOCkET HELD
 FOR HIGHER COURT
Gets Caught After Stealing Watch
 in Main Street Saloon

Frederick Reef of Hartford, alias Giles Montage, was bound over to the next term of the superior court by Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morning in bonds of $500 on a charge of picking a mans pocket in Symol1n's saloon, Saturday afternoon.
 It was charged that Reef and Jo- seph Margotz stole a watch from the pocket of James Mccullough, as he was leaning against the bar but there was no evidence to connect Margotz with the theft, and he was dis charged. Mccullough testified that he felt Margotz bump into him and an instant later felt his watch sliding from his pocket. He followed the two men down Main street and when at the railroad crossing they started to run towards Washington street he asked aid of two young men named McCuskey and Champo, who caught the men. Mccullough seemed to be a forgiving kind of old man, and told the judge that maybe Reef did not intend to steal the watch, "but he did it just the same' Reef denied the charge and said Mccullough sold him the watch for a dollar. "Bless your heart, no, if he'd given me a dollar he could have had the watch" said the complainant.
 He Loves the Ladies'
 Felese Gullano was charged with breach of the peace, and John Mur- phy, who conducts a bakery on Main street, testified that for the past two weeks the man has been hanging out side of the store windows evenings, ogl1ng his eyes at the lady clerks and trying to engage them in conversa- tion. On Saturday night MT. Mur- phy testified, Gullano followed one of the clerks home and his arrest fol- lowed. Officer William Grace testi- ned that he has warned Gullano to

BUILDING FIRE STATION WHICH
WILL ALSO Be MEETING PLACE

WOrkmen have about completed
the new fire station of the Columbia
street Volunteer fire department
which IS a credit to the hustling
merchants of that section of the
city. While the department has
been organized only a short time,
thew have raised several hundred
dollars by entertainments of various
kinds, purchased fire equipment.
and now have erected the building
without any assistance except the
SIS Which was recently appropri-
ated at a recent council meeting.
Heretofore that section of the city
has been handicapped for a meeting
place to discuss improvements and
questions which they were greatly
interested, so the new fire house
was built large enough to serve as
a meeting place, and hereafter
questions will be discussed and
settled by the residents of that
section of the city, and when mat
tiers are to be decided Columbia
Street citizens will vote almost as a
unit.

1O5 MEX|CANS KILLED
WHEN THEY FIRE ON j. S.
Population OF One OF Lar
gest Cities In Fight With
l5OU. S. Calverymen

Elpaso, Texas, April 13.-Mexican
hatred of Americans, which has
famed into a veritable c0ntlagra-
ton since General Pershing crossed
the international border more than
three weeks ago, broke all bounds
in the city of Parral yesterday
evening and for three hours $50
United States calvarymen were
compelled to fight the population
of one of the largest cities in the
republic.
los Mexican civilians and soldiers
were killed and an American troop
er lost his life.
Scores of Mexicans were also
wounded in the desperate fight,
which only came to an end when
the cooler heads among the officers
of the Carrancista garrison managed
to whip the enraeed people into
line long enough to give the Ameri-
cans time to leave the city.
Mexican officials bitterly censure
the American soldiers for entering
a Mexican city in direct defiance
of General Carranzas order that
they were to avoid all centers of
population. The American side on
this point is still to be heard from.
But right or wrong, the official re-
ports of the conflict show that the
little band of troopers lived up to
the best traditions of American
fighting spirit, and while hopelessly
outnumbered, fought hard, shot
straight and refused to quit.
