fWILLIMANTIC.

tween Peck and Prosecuting Attorney P J. Danahey Peck claimed that they we're trying to convict him for revenge and hinted at probes. He said that he had tried to get warrant out for Gadarowski to make him pay him the money due, which was 50 cents for jitney ride, but was unable to do so.
 Judge Foss said that there was un- doubtedly an argument and that both parties were to blame. In the past there have been several arguments in the same place, and the next offender will be given. a stiff fine. He then suspended judgment.
 After court, Gadarowsk was ordered to pay the bill. 50 cents which has caused much wrangling and three ar rests. During lull in the proceed ings of this case one of the spectators, who was under the influence of liquor, started to make a speech, but was run out of the court room by Lieuten- ant McArthur.
 The other cases before the court in ciuded that of John O'Brien. who pleaded guilty to intoxication, and was fined $2 and costs, but was unable to pay, so went to jail. David Ahern pleaded guilty to the same charge. He i was fined $2 and costs, which he paid. Felix Lanke pleaded guilty to assault on his wife. He was placed on pro bation with 30 day jail sentence over his head. John Walenski pleaded guilty to breaking and entering Bou- cher's saloon Sunday evening and stealing several bottles of booze. He was bound over to the superior court under bonds of S260 Several breaks in saloons are laid to Walenski by the police.

VANDALISM AT LAKE
May Result in Cutting Of Privilege of
 Bathing.

Indications are that vandals are ge- ing to bring about the cancellation of the bathing privileges which so many people enjoy at Quinebaug lake, south of Danielson.
 Not satisfied with unrestricted per- mission to visit the beautiful resort and roam about at will, bathing un- der conditions that are the best avail able hereabouts, a few of the type known in the talk of the street as rough necks' have smashed windows of the untenanted house, pulled door | castings off the ice houses. torn up | blanks from the ice runs, for the pur-
 pose of making floats, and in other
 ways have done wanton damage to l the property.
 1 Herbert c. Reach, who has the ice privileges at the lake, has all of the l broken window glass to pay for. and
 this means a considerable sum of
 money, not to mention the damage | that has been done to his ice houses
 This spring there was a question as to whether bathing would be permit
 ted at the lake. It was. The under
 standing was that people who went
 there would deport themselves like l civilized beings. not as savages. Most
 of the people, probably ss per cent
 of them. have used good judgment ir
 every. respect while about the lake 1 but the other one per cent. has beer crtminally reckless. and it is for these | few that others must suffer, unless
 the good people help catch and report | the bad ones.

 Ride Causes Much WraneIing and Three Arrests.
