OUR NEMTOWN
News LETTER
Especial to The Farmer.)

Newtown, March 9-W. G. johnson,
county director of the Fairfield County
Farm Bureau, was in Norwa1k attend
ing a meeting of this body Wednes-
day.
The Harris Wire Co. of Sandy Hook
shipped a large order of copper wire
to Barcelona, Spain, this week.
Levi c. Morris was in Bridgewater
yesterday, calling upon his relative,
Miss Sarah Sanford, who is i'll.
A representative from Yale Uni
versity visited the local High school
Wednesday and inspected the work of
the students in several of the branches
of the curriculum. He took copious
notes.
Despite the inc1ement weather and
the snowbound roads, a party of bor-
oughites went to Dodgingtown last
night to attend the closing festival of
Fire Company No. /.
The activity of the authorities in
the crusade for enforcement of the
dog muzzling law has resulted in the
appearance of three delinquent tax
payers at the town clerks Office for
dog licenses this week. No prosecu-
tons were necessary.
The beautiful collection of rubber
plants owned by Charles F. Beardsley
of Beardsley Terrace have been re-
moved to the reception room of the
Inn, to be provided with warmth and
care during this trying weather, and
while the owner is absent from town.
Charles E. Beers Of Palestine is a
MUNICH annoyed man these days. He
was bondsnan for the executor of the
will of Charles E. Gilbert, now in pro-
cess of settlement before the probate
court. The executor recently died.
The estate of the latter has been ad-
1ainistered up on by his widow and
the account accepted by the court,
but the judge refuses to release the
Beers probate bond, Notwithstanding
the court has appointed successor
to the latter. Beers supposed his
financial obligation ended when this
was done, and asked the court for
order of release of bond. Judge
Woodman says he has no power to re-
lease the Bond, and that the bond
will hold until the Gilbert estate is
finally settled, and for six years be-
yond that time under the statute of
AS the testator Gilbert
established a trust in favor of his
wife while living, the obligation will
tie up Beers property indefinitely. He
has consulted Bridgeport attorney
and has been advised that a surety
bond from a surety bond can be re-
leased, or cancelled by the simple ex-
pedient of defau1ting in the payment
of the annual premium the bond,
but his only recourse in the case of
a personal bond before probate court
is an appeal to the judge.
AS Beers has already made this ap-
peal already and been denied, he is
chafng over the predicament he is
in. Should he desire to sell, or other
wise ALLEVIATE any part or all of his
farm, his design will be frustrated by
this Intangible incumbrance to a free
deed.

Cured His RUPTURE

was badly ruptured while lifting a
trunk several years ago. Doctors said
my only hope of cure was an opera
ton. Trusses did me no good Final
Iy got hold of som ething that quick
1y and completely cured me. Years
have passed and the rupture has never
returned, although I am doing hard
work as a carpenter. There was no
operation, no lost time, no trouble I
have nothing to sell, but will give full
information about how you may find a.
complete cure without operation, if
you write to me, Eugene M. PuIlen
Carpenter, 427B, Marcel1us Avenue
Manasquan, N. J. Better cut out this
notice and show it to any others who
are ruptured-you may save a life or
at least stop the misery of rupture and
the worry and danger of an operation

come to the Colonial. Admission is at
the usual popular figure. Come and
bring your friends.

when 'sSlivers' was there in his base
ball pantornime.
Began in Barnun's Cook Tent
when Slivers finally landed with
Barnum & Bailey said Mr.. Powers,
''he got a job in the cook tent, doing
chores. Everybody liked the boy, but
his best friend was 'Nosey' Monroe,
the elephant keeper. He used TO let
the boy practice leaping over the e1e-
prants between performances, and
finally Slivers made his first appear
ance before an assenblage which in
Guided almost everybody attached to
the circus. His friends carried him
out of the tent on their shoulders that
day
when Slfvers came to the Hippo
drome, facing audiences of n different
type, he studied them carefully, at the
same time studying his art as patient
1y and faithfully as an opera singer
Outside of the tent he was a serious
minded man. One day he said to a
friend:
ct never see the light go on and
hear the band strike up for the grand
procession but think of Dan Luby-
a great clown and a good friend of
rnine-Tny side partner. A good many
years ago, some place in Indiana, we
mached together into the big tent be-
hind the elephants. Dan was feeling
1owspirited and had been talking all
day about a bunch that something was
going to happen. But I cheered him
UP, and we fro1icked along till the
grand entry was over.
~'"Then they brought out the ele-
plants and Dan and began to jump
over their backs. At least Dan did
he was a good jumper, and was the
faker, the fellow who tries to jump
and makes all sorts Of funny tun-
b1es OF course Dan had to horse
his act, too, but just the same he had
to put over his thriller.
Laughed In Presence of Death
scweI1, the time came for him to
jump from a springboard over four
elephants. He got away in good
shape but in clearing the last beast
he didn't right himself, and hit the
tanbark fiat on his back. The crowd
yelled with 1aughter-funny stuff to
see. I knew what had happened; we
all knew. But it was the first night
of a three-day stay, and we cou1dn't
afford to do anything to make that
bunch unhappy. I 1ip-hopped up to
the best friend had on earth, and he
Law there dead with his back broken.
Up came the other clowns We pick
ed him UP and carried poor Dan off,
doing funny stuff while the crowd
roared with laughter. When we got
Dan behind the scenes we cried over
him.
The body of Oakley was removed

rooms at 223 Eighth avenue at 1880
o'clock last night.
