 BANKRUPT ESTATE
Trustee BenZOn Gets Out Writ Of
 RepleVin Against Bunnell
CLAIMS TRANSFER NOT LEGAL
Other Creditors Shown Preference by
 w. c. Hart Voluntary Give Back --Masons Install Oficers-Briefs.

Acting on a writ of replevin is- sued by Attorney Noble E. Pierce, Constable Cornelius DowningAester- day took from Charles E. Bushnell horse and truck turned over to him by William c. Hart in payment of a bill before the latter filed a petition in bankruptcy a few weeks ago. F. IL. Benzon trustee of the bankrupt's es- the team some time ago, claiming that as the transfer was made within four months of the time MT. Hart was formally declared a failure, the bill of sale was void and MT. Bunnell would have to take chances on his claim with the other creditors.
 Judge W. J. Malone of Bristol, counsel for MT. Hart, had approved of the transfer of the teams, advising the owner that it was legally made. Consequently MT. Bunnell refused to return the outfit to the trustee of the estate. Accompanied by Constable Downing and Attorney Pierce, MT. Benzon sought out MT. Bushnell yes 
 team.
 The case presents some interesting features and will probab bly, be fought out in court before MT. Hart's af- fairs are settled.
 w. J. Hemingway and H. c. Thompson, two other creditors of MT. Hart, received horses and wagons in payment of their bills short time be- fore MT Hart's petition was presented to the courts. Acting on the advice of counsel they subsequently surren- dered them to MT. Benzon and their claims are now to be listed with the other liabilities of the bankrupt.
 While Judge Malone gave the opinion that the bill of sale was made out in good faith, MT. Thom mpson and Mr. Hemingway having no knowl- edge that MT. Hart was about to be- come bankrupt, other lawyers which the men consulted expressed the opinion that the courts would rule the deal void. They did not beliece the men had a case sufficiently strong to warrant expending the money necessary to fight it in court and at their suggestion the teams were turned over to the trustee.
 Both MT. Thompson and MT. Hem- 1ngWay were on MT. Hart's notes while MT. BunneI's bill was princi- pally for work which he performed while in the bankrupt's employ
 Nothing has as yet been done by the creditors regarding a settlement of the estate but it is expected that in the near future the livery and truck ing business which the bankrupt con- ducted will be sold and a partial pay ment made. It is not believed that the creditors will receive more than a few cents on the dollar for their bills.

 That the selectmen should make some effort to have the Connecticut company officials provide better iIIum- 1nat1on for Whiting street than they seemingly contemplate is generally believed While the courts ordered but sixteen candle power lamps for that highway when the trolley line was extended to Southington it is thought that changed conditions might cause a judge 70 insist on the trolley people furnishing lights as good as those used in other parts of the town.

 Pupils Defend Principal.
 Rlslng to the defense of Principal U. L. Judd, although admitting that they were unwilling to have their names published owing to threats of bodily harm, which they claim were made by the school "bullies,'' a com- mittee representing pupils in the eighth grade in the Grammar school last evening presented a statement to the Herald, taking exception to the charges made in letter made public last Saturday by it's author, A. B. Bentley
 The mother of one of the signers declared that the letter was to have been circulated among the children for their signatures. Several of them, she said, had signified their intention of signing until two of the larger boys, known as school "bullies, y threatened to beat physically weaker ho a ffiS hoiT names to any statement favorable to the principal.
 Hence the statement is herewith given without the names of the sign CTS:
 "PlainViIle Conn.
 January, 10, 1916. '"The New Britain Herald: "Gentlemen:
 We, the pupils of the eighth grade of the Plainville Grammar school, wish to state that we do not hate the ground that the superintendent of the school walks upon as MT. A. B. Bent ley stated in this paper Saturday even ing, January 8, 1916.
 "Thrashings are a very rare occur renee in the school.
 We could not wish for a better superintendent than Mr. Judd and
  for many years to come, as we are proud of him.
 Players Association Formed.
 Local people interested in dramatics met last evening at the home of H. Bonney and organized the Plainville Players association, electing George Buys as president and Mr Bonney secretary and treasurer.
 The members voted to present in the near future three small plays to be given in a single evening, the en- tire entertainmnt lasting about one and One-half hours, the patrons en- toying dancing for the balance of the | evening. Assignments to the various ! roles were made and the members of l the cast will begin the study of their | parts at once. There was considerable enth usiaSn shown at the meeting and the mem- bers are hopeful that the association l will prove a success.
 Town Meeting Echoes.
 The post mortem on the town meetings held Monday night gives the opinion that some of the voters l. who failed to attend the sessions are seemingly dissatisfied with the rais- ing of the tax rate to fifteen mills and there was some talk today of hav- ing a special session called to rescind the action. It is not believed however, that it will materialize. The budget presented by the select men plainly showed that if the esti- mates are not too high it will be inn possible to raise the revenue required to pay the bills if the rate is made

The dry goods store of w. d. Car

opened. 1t is stated that the bold

money in return for their laborious
work and for the risk which they ran.
The postolfce building was also

Night Photography.

The amateur photographer who likes
10 make indoor views after dark will
find the new gas.flled tungsten lamp
much superior to the inconyenient,
dust-producing ilashlight. According
to the Electrical World, the gas-llled
lamp produces far more actinic rays
than the ordinary incanioscent light,
and a room lighted by a 200-watt lamp
can be photographed in fraction of
the time required with light of the
old style. In a room of ordinary size
with walls and ceiling of a medium
tint. and with the camera stop open
to number eight on the diaphragm
scale, an exposure of from two to four
minutes will be enough to get excel
lent interior views- Photographers
now also use the gas-illed lamp in the
daytime, to illuminate dark corners
and shadowy places when they are
taking indoor views.

CLOTH THROUGH HAIR,
DOUBLE ITS BEAUTY
Try this! Hair gets thick, glossy,

Immediate? Certain?-that's
the JOY of it. Your hair becomes
light, wayy, fluffy, abundant and APP

a cloth with a little Danderine and
carefully draw it through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time.
This will cleanse the hair of dust,
dirt or excessive oil, and in just a
