Fannie Munson, who died mum Der of years ago. &.
 MT. Ryder, who was an heir of Mrs. Munson, sold some of the land which was originally part of her estate, contrary to her wishes as expressed in the will, MT. Lewis being the pur- chaser. After MT. Ryder's death an examination of the probate court records revealed the forgotten clause in Mrs. Munson's will and showed that the title of Mir Lewis to the property was not clear. The latter then made arrangements to bring suit to recover from the estate for the loss he sustained by reason of the illegal transaction.
 Settlement of his claim was &C., complished by the signing of waivers by all the Ryder and Munson heirs and MT. Lewis now has a clear title to the property. No objection to Judge Peck's application for permis- sion to adopt this course was made to the court this morning and Judge Byington granted his request.
 Tramp" Had Good Sized Roll.
 Harry Tomlins, who claims to hail from Granby, and who has all the earmarks of a typical tramp, was arrested last night by Consta bles Downing and Marine. He was in an intoxicated condition and was creat-' ing disturbance at the center when he was taken into custody.
 The man was inclined to be very abusive and insulting in his language. When searched his pockets revealed the razor clothes brush and other articles of the tramp's toilet in addi- ton to seven cents. The officer also took possession of a tobacco sack which was later found to contain s54 in bills
 This morning the prisoner told the authorities he is not a professional hobo. He claims to work as a farm hand. He will be given an opportu- n1ty to tell his troubles to the court this evening.
 Many Sign Petition.
 According to prohibition advocates no difficulty is being experienced in gett1ng signatures to the petition, started in circulation several days ago, to have a vote taken on the H- cense question at the October elec- t1on. The petition was drawn up early this year as the men behind it propose to get as many signatures as possible before presenting it to the selectman.
 It is understood that every voter ill town who is believed to be opposed to continuing the sale of liquor here will be asked to aff1x his signature to the petition that the strength of the "drys' may be apparent before elec- ton.
 The no-license advocates claim their prospects of victory are brighter than ever this year and they have started their campaign with a confi- dence of a character which did not mark their previous efforts.
