So iVFe Youths Were in City Court
 Tuesday Morning.

In the police court Tuesday morn
 ing, five young third of July revelers were arraigned on charges of breaking the peace The qNintet was rounded by the police authorities after they had ignored repeated warnings to get off the street and wait until daybreak to shoot off their frecracEers. The boys were lodged in the station house for the remainder of the night. They were Joseph Bourey, IS, Harvey Ri- card IT. Henry Spinks r, Victor Ha- mel 16 and Joseph Petrus IT. Pro- bation Officer w. c. Lyman was ap- pointed guardian ad Htem for the boys because of their tender years and he entered pleas of guilty for each one after conferring with them. There seemed to be a wide diversity of opinion, however, as to which one of the five had the fireworks in his possession, as each one said that he was with the gang but another fellow had the goods. A fine of S3 and costs was imposed on each one by the court and all were then placed on proba- ton for month, and told that if they deported themselves in a proper man. ner during that time their fines would be remitted, although the costs in each case would have to be paid.

With all reports in and occurrences checked up, the night before" and the Fourth of 1916. may be set down as the quietest that Danielson has expe- renced in forty years. Even the old timers admit it.
 The Fourth was ushered in with all the quiet of a peaceful Sunday morn Ing. The lack of pep was really as- founding There was absolutely noth- ing doing The old gangs were miss ing, and new ones failed to take their places.
 Just why the entire bottom fell ont of the long established methods of welcoming the Fourth is difficult to es- innate. It may be that Danielson's s gOod-tImers were appalled, by the fact that the borough now has paid police force; it may be that the old stunts no longer hold attraction as against the modern opportunities for joy riding and kindred pastfmes, but in any event any person who cared to sleep had the finest chance in the world so far as being rid of noise was concerned.
 Regular and special officers found no more than routine matters to oc- cupE their attention. Except for @ few stray stra ggling live members. not more than a dozen in number, the town was locked up and asleep, soon after midnight. Not an arrest wa made and there was no session of the tNWn court on the Fourth, a record that is much better than on the aver age week day.
 During Tuesday the town was prac- tically deserted. Danlelson people. called upon to depend on other towns for entertainment, DanielSOn having done nothing to keep the crowds at home, excepting, of course. the ball games, went hither and thither to en- joy the Fourth of 1916 won't cut much of figure in the red letter annals of the town.
 Only Minor Accidents.
 Minor injuries and burns from the use of reVolvers and explosives were reported in Danielson Tuesday. but no apparently serious case came to the attention of the physicians. As al- ways. there was some fool perform ing with revolvers. There was a time on the morning of the Fourth that 1t was neither safe for the ceIebrators nor others to be in the vicinity of where the shooting was being done.
 The valiant ceIebrator who turns his head and wrinkles up his face while blindly reaching out his gun hand to fire shot that might go into somebody's face, or foot, or hand was in evidence. Incidentally many were carrying and using revoIvers in dangerous way, without having a per init to be in possession of revolvers. It was more good fortune than good judgment that prevented numerous in- juries of a serious nature

How the Holiday Was Spent.

The Glorious Fourth in this city was quiet one. Aside from Young America with the inevitable frecrack- CTS and toy pistols, there was little to distinguish the day. A large number spent the holiday in other places. A few family reunions and picnics were held about the city but for the most part the holiday was observed in a safe and sane manner in every sense of the word.
 In some of the smaller towns round about there was more going on, Mans field Center, Columbia, Windham Cen ter and Scotland each making con- siderable of the day and quite a few people from here visited these places. There were the customary ball games and sports at each of these places. ColIations at noon and fire works a night were also included in the days events.

 Members of the street department have their work cut out for them this morning in cleaning up the mass of debris that accumulated during the tOuTth as the result of a Verdunized bombardment of the great outdoors by the enthusiastic youth of the city.
 The business section was filtered Tuesday night with the remnants of hundreds of f1recracl1ers, thousands of blank cartridge shells and all the ether mass of waste that results from the use of holiday explosives.
 So far as noise was concerned, Tues day was one of tho real varieties ill the way of Independence day celebra tions. The din from early morning until well into the evening, in the business section, was incessant, and suggested to one what may be meant by a. curtain of fire.
 About every other youth had a re- vOlver and kept it in service about as fast as it could receive cartridges and suit was a lonesome feeling for Q ner- VOus man-a. desire for the woods or some other secluded place.
 With it all no one was injured Aside rom the noise, the city was very peaceable. The police had no trouble at all and were not called upon to make any arrests.
 The station subway was selected as a favorite field of operations by the noise brigade. Within it's confines the detOnations of crackers and cartridges were multiplied in gratifying way to those who were conducting the cam paign, and at times the sounds would indicate the possibility of the roof be- ing blown off, but nothing like that happened.
