Richard Cafferty, better known to
residents of the town as tricky" has
returned to his native haunts. After
being away for about year he put
in an appearance In the town few
days ago and resumed his habits Of
old. He was taken into custody Satur-
day evening by Officer Marine because
he was in highly intoxicated con-
dition and was making a nuisance of
himself around the center. He will
De arraigned in court today before
Judge Condell charged with intoxica-
ton, breach of the peace and break
ing his probation.
About year ago Cafferty was ar
raigned before Judge Condell under a
somewhat similar charge and was
placed on probation, which according
to statement made by citizen this
morning, he has broken several times
but has not been taken into custody.
Shortly after being placed on proba-
tom he left the town, making his.
years ago.
Saturday he evidently fingered too
long over the flowing bowl and night
found him in an extremely hilarious
condition. He was very much in evil
dence about the center and, according
to reports, made a general nuisance
out of himself in spite of the alleged
warnings of Officer Marine. Later in
the evening 1t is said he grew so
abusive that he had to be taken to the
lookup. He spent the night there but
was out on bonds of 5000 yesterday
which were furnished by his brother.
Another Cafferty Arrested.
Frank Cafferty also was gathered in
by the meshes Of the law Saturday at
ternoon when he was found intoXi-
Gated about the center. 1t was not
know. this morning whether he will
be let go or arraigned in court before
Dne of the local judges.
Plainville scores another Win.
Plainville added another win to it's
long score of victories yesterday at
Aliens field when it took the aggre-
cation representing the New Depart
| ure Mfg. co. of Bristol into camp
These boys have the reputation of
being the fastest team that the Brass
CITY poasts or and are reputed to be
one or the best crowds of ball-tossers
In the state Their reputation, how
ever, did not phase the local b. S,
who had regular birthday party at
the expense of the visitors.
Starting off with total of six RI MS
in the first, scored from twice as
many hits, Plainville at the end of
the ninth had garnered 13 runs. It
proved to be regular swatfest for
the Localities. Although the Bristol
team managed to secure a few we'll
scattered hits they were unable to
cross the plate with a run.
Cakes and Carpenter were\ the re-
spective mound artists for Plainville
and Bristol.
Local Companies Make Good.
If reports from those who saw the
review in Hartford Saturday are be- .
lieved, the Home Guard company and
the ambulance corps of this place did
themselves proud. Although it was
not a competitive drill the local COM
panies acted like seasoned veterans
Owing to the fact that Lieut.. Frost
of the ambulance corps automatically
resigned when he received a COM
mission in the Medical corps Of the
United States army, Sergeant Kent
assumed command of the company.
In the review he also took the posi-
ton of the lieutenant. 1t is likely
that he will have to resign his office
soon as he is among those who will
have to appear in Bristol tomorrow
for examination and will probably be
accepted as a member of the nation
al army.
Letters of Discharge at p. o.
Assistant Postmaster Graham stat
ed this morning that about 80 letters
of discharge for men who claimed ex-
emption because of various reasons
had been received at the local post
office. AS the local board is busy cen
tifying all claims more are expected
in the near future.
