oiSIoliSSB 1IOAAly AdJ, VI <AtL1"ethSei-s
was captured Tuesday morning near
Ballouvillo, and taken into custody by |
Frank Wh!ppIe and Roderi:x Labellc, |
who had been hiding near where Il
fox snare YVES set, in the hope that !
someone would come and visit it. |
Whipple and Labelle had been lying |
i'll hiding only very few minutes, !
Labelle later said, when Pray came
along and stopped over to pick up the
snare and adjust it. At sight of them
Labelle said, Pray made off. and they
pursued. The incident occurred on
land in the rear OF the residence OF
Supt. Hector Mcconnell of the mill at
Ballouville.
Game Warden Harry Battey and
John Labelle were also out watching
| snares Tuesday morning, Mr.. Battey
They have been keeping close tabs on
the snares for some time past in the
! Eopeof making an arrest.
At the office of Prosecuting Attorney
| Arthur G. Bill Tuesday afternoon Pray
was charged with trapping on land
without permission of the owner ard
with setting snares. contrary to law
He was released under 500, furnished
| by N. A. Jordan. until this morning,
| to which time the case was continued
The snare that figured in@Tuesday's
| incident is now in possession of At
torney Bill. 1t is of wire with a slip
| moose. and is attached to a stout bush
which was cut away by the men who
| caught Pray visiting the snare. Tues
| day was Pray's second arrest in about
| two months on charges such as he
will face this morning. On December
81, he was arrested on land of Mrs.
Rosa P, Danielson at Putnam Heights
while he was visiting a snare, Game
| Warden Battey taking him at that
time and later causing his. appearance
| in the Putnam city court. Pray plead
ed not guilty, denying ownership Of
the snare, and appealed TO the super
ior court, where the case is still pend
ing trial.
Action was taken Tuesday for the
| withdrawal of the bill filed in the leg
lslature at Hartford and on which
| there was to have been hearing this
| "wednesday morning. relative to the
construction of the Hampton Brook
Ign road. This is measure in which
Killingly is vitality interested. but it
was felt by a large number here who
are interested in getting the highway
that the bill would affront Highway
Commissioner Charles J. Bennett, and
that it would be withdrawn at once.
The fact that the bill had been filed
for consideration at Hartford was
known to only a very few here Com
missioner Bennett has been informed
that the bill was filed without the fact
becoming known here to persons who
are very much interested in having
the new highway built. Commissioner
Bennett has all the authority that is
necessary to order the road built if
he so desires, and It is generally felt
that it would be much better to leave
the whole matter in his hands rather
than an attempt to force action on
his part through legislation, of ques-
tionable or no value.
Later a delegation of citizens from
t this town, Brooklyn and Willimantic
will visit the commissioner and lay
, their requests before him.
In addition to the real pressing
need of the road, there is the addi-
tional argument this year that its con-
= struction would provide labor al
, through the summer for The increasing
number of idle men who are TO BE-
r found in Killingly and all through this
section.

: matter later Herbert LaPlaCe was re
