 16 Years in Railroad Employ.
 In the railroad field MT. McWil- Hams occupied a singularly unique po- sition inasmuch as he had been in that business for fOrty-six years and had been employed by but two different companies in all that time, the Crank Trunk and the New Haven road
 MT. McWillams was born in Que bee, Canada, sixty-four years ago and continued to make his home in the Dominion until about twenty years ago. When a youth of eighteen years he entered the employ of the Grand Trunk railroad as a brakeman. He was steadily promoted until he be- came a conductor on that road, a po- sition he held until he came to the United States and entered the employ of the New Haven road.
 In Charge of First Third Rail.
 MT. McWilliams was first stationed in Waterbury, but when the electric system between Bristol and Hartford was installed he was transferred to New Britain. MT. McWilliams record in railroading includes his having been conductor of the first third rail' train out of New Britain. After the third rail was abolished MT. McWil- Hams continued in the service as con- ductor until about four years ago when his declining health and age made it impossible for him to con- tinue The railroad officials then gave him general supervision of the local train announcer. position he held until a few months ago when he be- came too sick to continue.
 Leaves Several Children.
 Four children survive Mir. McWil- Hams. They are Mrs. Eva Barnes of Monroe street, William McWilliams of Rockville and Mrs. Mable Costello of Brooklyn. He leaves five grandrhil- dren Mr. McWilliamS was mem Der of the local lodge of Moose and al so the Owls. He was a member of the Conductors association, a railroad or ganization. He was always liked by his employers and the patrons of the road and had many friends

Mexican Bandit Material

Through the efforts of County High.
way Commissioner, J. T. Nemacheck,
The Goodrich Tire Company some
time ago presented Villas county with
a supply of sign boards sufficient to
properly distinguish most OF the main
| travelled roads in the county. They
are finished in enamel, clear and legl-
bic and the fact that they also direct
attention to the Goodrich Tire does
not detract from their attractiyeness
and value at all, and they are a great
convenience to the many strangers
who now visit the county by aubomo-
bile. The signs cost the Goodrich
people $3.50 each and upwards Of %
OF them made an expensive giif. The
county saw to the placing in position
upon suitable posts bought fed illa
purpose at a cost very likely bringing
the total around $500 per sign.
Unfortunately, there are those to
whom Il sign board of any description
anywhere, appeals to only as some
thing valuable to mutilate or destroy
provided it can be accomplished With
out detection. 1t is a fayoriEe pas
time to shoot 4 rifle ball or the
contents Of any gun they may be tot
ing at tile time into every defenceles
sign along their route OF travel Or,
a good sized rock or gravel stone can
be used only it is not considered to
be good form by real '.bad men" they
never heaye rock at an inanimate
object until their cartrige belt is emp
ty.
Some of the newly placed signs
have already met these fates. Slow
down signs placed at dangerous turns
on the Three Lakes road have been
shot up III regular Villa, or Carranza
style and spirit. Nearer town. rail-
road crossing danger signals, rather
important to strangers approaching
railroad tracks, have suffered from
the rock or gravel stone method of at
tack. This may be the work Of boys
perhaps too young to understand that
for many reasons they should omit
chat feature Of entertainment Par
ents Of small boys who play in the
vicinity of any road signs wherever
located should warn themin regard to
this matter. not only to avoid trouble
apt to come now, but for their boys
Welfare later in life.
1t may be unknown to some that
there is a state law on this subject u,
the effect that d $500 fine, or 90 days
in the county jail or both, awaits any
person or persons convicted OF mutt
lating OF destroying any highway
sign in this state. Tie County Board
have decided to enfore this law and
have offered $500 reward for con-
victing evidence against these law
breakers.
