STRIKE BEGUN AT
 THAMES sPEcIALTIEs
Laberers Left Work When Request For Ten Per Cent. Increase Was De- nied.

Twenty five men who are employed in the night shift at the Thames River Specialties company at Montville went out on strike on Monday morning. They had asked for 10 per cent. wage increase, and when this was refused they struck.
 Those who are on strike are chiefly Iaborers and it is not expected that the strike will spread any farther as most of the skilled help have remained at work The mill, however, is at a busy period and the strike will cause a tenn porary shutdown. For a short time it may be necessary to operate but one- half the mill.
 For protection against any possible trouble, the mill officers had special officers sworn in and on duty at the plant on Monday. A number of the strikers gathered at the plant on Mon day morning and discussed the situa- ton with some show of anger, but there was no serious trouble.

JOHN T.
NORMINGTON
SHERIFF

John E. bennington, the newly e.
lected sheriff of Wood county, was e.
lected with very large majority, a
gainst Fred Beell the democratic nom
inee, who was considered one of the
strong men on their ticket This hear
ty endorsement of Mr.. bennington
by the people was due to the fact that
in the first place Mr.. Normington is
a pleasant man to meet with. and sec
ondly because of his ecellent qualif-
cations for the office. His service on
the police force in Milwaukee for many
years, with the excellent record he
made when he left there, assured the
people of Wood county that he was es-
pecially we'll fitted for the place he
was seeking. We believe that the
county has made no mistake in select
ing him for sheriff. He will assume
his duties on the 1st of January 1917.
and move his family into the sheriff
house on that date. Up to the present
time he has not made selection for
undersheriff, but we understand he has
several good applicants for the place.
The people can look forward to an ex-
cellent administration Of the county,
affairs from the newly elected sheriff
John E. Normington.

This party for whom the pig was in

he was the consignee, purchase being

Gorder told him he could have the pig
if he signed for it and paid the charges
This he refused to do so Van Gorder
took the pig to the express office. 1t
is claimed in the indictment that the
pig was left in the cold one hour and
fifteen minutes. This was impossible
Yet, this charge is brought against an
innocent man, who couldn't have pre-
vented moments delay and inasmuch
as the real consignee was at the depot
when the train arrived, it was his du-

there was no one there to take care of
