Attorney General

Liquor dealers in the state will re-
ceiye a refund of their license money
dating from July %, 1919, according
to an opinion by Attorney General
Frank E. Healy. The opinion, sent
to the county commissioners of the
eight counties, reads

or holders of club certificates, under
the provisions of said chapter.

NO PAPER TO PRINT
NEW GAME RULES
County Wardens Instructed to
Rigidly Enforce
Law i

John M. Champion, superintendent
of the state fish and game commits
sion, presided at a meeting of the
county game wardens held in Hart
ford on Tuesday, The object of the
meeting was to confer on methods
of rigidly enforcing the new game
laws.
The session was begun in the morn
ing at the Capitol, after which the
wardens and the superintendent ad-
journed to the Bond Annex Hotel,
where luncheon was served, and a
general outline of the years work
given by the superintendent. Parti-
cular attention will be given this
year, it was pointed out, to the closed
season on partridge, and the wardens
received copies of a warning which
was issued by the boarad of fisheries
and game. This warning reads
Chapter las of the Public Acts C
1919, entitled AN act establishing a
close season for partridge or ruffed
grouse provides for full protection
to our ruffed grouse, commonly called
partridge, and female pheasants. The
law Isl
No person shall hunt, take, kill
or attempt to kill any partridge,
ruffed grouse or female pheasants
prior to October 8, 1920. Every
person who shall violate any provi-
sion of this act shall be fined not less
than $25 nor more than $50, or i'm
prisoned not more than thirty days,
or both
eve shall rigidly enforce all the
fish and game laws, and ask the CO.
operation of all sportsmen. We urge
them to use their influence and to re-
port to the county warden all known
violations"
Another matter brought out at the
meeting was that the new game laws
have not been printed as yet because
of the shortage of paper, and that
they will probably not be ready until
November l, although the law on
some game goes into effect on Octo-
Der /. A set of these laws is sup
posed to be given to each hunter
when he secures a license, but this is
going to be impossible this year.
Among the county wardens who re-
ceived their instructions and will pass
them along to the deputy wardens
was 1. P. Hornbeck of Falls Village.

MILES DURHAM SUED
FOR CHILD'S CUSTODY
Interesting Case Before Judge
Woodruff in the Win
sted Court

A hearing was held before Judge
Woodruff in the court of common
pleas Monday in Winsted on the
habeas corpus proceedings of Ella
Blair Durham of Canaan against her
divorced husband, Miles Durham, of
Canton. The action was brought by
the petitioner to secure custody of
their son.
Mrs. Durham secured a divorce
from her husband and was to have
custody of the son, Carl, all of the
time excepting from June Is to
September 1, when the child was to
be with the father. Mrs. Durham
went to Canton September to get
the child and although the defendant
said the child could go with her if he
wanted to, when the mother took hold
of the boy to take him with her, the
father held the child. Mrs. Durham
again went to the house accompanied
by Deputy Sheriff H. J. Stancliff of
New Hartford but failed to obtain
possession of the child, although
Durham told the officer he would
take the boy to his mother the next
day if possible. This he failed to do,
and Mrs. Durham again went after
the boy accompanied by Constable
Lewis Rhoades of Canaan. This time
the father said the boy could go with
the mother if he wanted to but when
the mother attempted to take him
the father held him back and relief
was sought in the court.
Durham had Constable Rhoades
prosecuted for trespassing on his
property and a justice in Canton
found the constable guilty and i'm
posed a fine of SIS and costs. An
appeal was taken by Constable
Rhoades to higher tribunal.

ANOTHER BIG JEWEL
ROBBERY IN NORFOLK
Burglar Secures $1,000 to
$4,000 in Precious
Stones

For the second time within the
past five weeks, burglars have
entered the homes of residents OF
Norfolk and made their get away
with several thousand dollars in
valuables. Jewels valued at between
$1,000 and $4,000, the property Of
Mrs John H. Flagg of New York city
and about $50 in money belonging
to DR.. Edward Quintard, also of New
York, were stolen from Knolly
Brook, the Quintard summer resi-
dence, about a o'clock Monday morn
ing by robber who made his escape.
Robbers on the morning of Aug. 10
looted the summer residence of G. E..
Bigelow of New York of jewelry
valued at $1,000 and about 500 In
money. 1t is believed that both jobs
were done by the same party.
DR.. Quintard, awakened by a noise
in his room, saw the robber flee to a
hallway leading to the first floor. The
burglar entered and left through a
window which was found open. The
thief first operated in the room occu-
pied by Mrs. Flagg without arousing
any member of the family.
The money was extracted from DR..
Quintard's clothing. The robber
made a hasty exit, evidently fearing
the doctor would open fire on him.
One member of the family heard a
motor running after the thief had
fled and it is considered quite prob
able thta the robber had an accom-
plice in an automobile not far away
from Knolly Brook.
Captain Hurley and Officer Nit
chell of the state police are working
on the case, having arrived by motor
early in the day from Hartford.

WINS ON
DTVINE'S HOME RUN
Canaan Team Shut Out For
First Time This
Season

The Philmont baseball team de-
feated the Canaan nine in Philmont
last Saturday afternoon by the score
of to 0 before a crowd of several
thousand people. Philmont has one
of the fastest semi-professional
teams in eastern New York and were
strengthened on Saturday by De-
vine, of the Pittsfeld penant winners,
and Wolfgang formerly with the
Chicago White Sox.
+ The game was easily the fastest
played by the Canaan team this year
and every man on the team played
remarkably good ball. Selleck in
the pitchers box had the opposing
batters guessing from the first, with
the result that several innings only
three men faced him. In the eighth
inning Devine secured lucky hit
over first base that ordinarily would
have been caught by the right fielder.
A fence prevented, however, and he
secured a through ticket to home
plate, scoring the only runs made in
the game. Hummer robbed Meade
of hit in the eighth by jumping a
foot in the air and catching a liner
in one hand.
This is the last game the team will
play this season. The season was
closed on Labor by, but Philmont
asked the local boys to put up an
exhibition at their homecoming cele-
bration held there on Saturday.
The score was as follows:

OLDEST MAN IN BERk-
SHIRE COUNTY DIES
William B. Gibson Was 100
Years, z Months, and
13 Days

William B. Gibson of New MARI
borough, Mass, the oldest man IN
Berkshire county, died in the house
where he was born on Monday after
noon, aged 100 years, months and
10 days. Death resulted from a
severe cold which he contracted
several days ago. The funeral ser
vice will be held from his late home
this Thursday afternoon at 2 p. M
We print the following regarding
his life, which appeared in the News
on February 18th, when Mr.. Gibson
celebrated his Tooth anniversary:
William B. Gibson was born Feb. 9,
1919, son of John and Betsey Bene-
dict Gibson. For more than half
century he conducted sawmill bust
ness which has since been in charge
of his only son, George W. Gibson.
He also leaves one granddaughter,
Mrs. BENJAMIN Cruikshank, and two
great-grandchildren Benjamin, Jr.,
and Donald Fitch Cruikshank. His
faculties, especially his memory, were
wonderfully preserved.
Mr.. Gibson represented his district
in the legislature at Boston in 1874
and had served several terms as a
selectman. AT celebration held at
Lake Buel in 1876, Capt. Peter F.
Dearstyne launched the first steamer
on that lake and named it for William
B. Gibson. During Mr.. Gibson's life
he missed but one opportunity to cast
his ballot for the democratic candl-
date for president, and that time he
happened to be away and could not
get home. He was staunch sup
porter of Woodrow Wilson.
On the occasion of his Tooth birth
day anniversary Mr.. Gibson was pre-
sented with 100 pieces of silver, also
a large three-layer marble cake with
100 tiny pink and green candles and
a smaller one with 400 years"
written in chocolate on the frosting.
Rev. M. J. B. Fuller, pastor of the
New Maralboro and Southfeld
churches, on the same occasion ad-
dressed Mr.. Gibson in part as follows:
"To you, by Providence, has been
given great life. A hundred years
of time is wonderful thing, es-
pecially the last hundred years. To
have lived the span of this period is
most wonderful thing. This period
has been allotted to you and we have
come here to rejoice with you and to
wish you more years of peace. We
cannot think what 100 years mean,
only as we measure it against some
thing else. James Monroe was presi-
dent when you were born. There
we're 10 states, voted. Your life
reaches nearly one-quarter way back
to Columbus, and two-thirds of the
way back to the beginning of this
country. When you were 10 years
old the first steamship crossed the
Atlantic. You were FL when Morse
secured his first patent for the tele-
graph. You were 80 when the first
, cable was laid. There were no
matches when you were boy. In
1919 Florida was called to the United
States, Arkansas territory was
founded and Alabama was admitted
that year, so you can see how far
your life reaches"

BALZAC'S HOME Is RESTORED
Includes Trap Door Through Which
Famous French Author Es-
capped Creditors.

Paris.-The home of the famous
French author, Honore de Balzac in
the Rue Raynouard at Passy has been
reopened as an artists center. The
house had been sadly neglected, but
has been restored to present the ap-
pearance it had in Balzac's time, with
its vestibule painted blue and the orig
inal oak carvings and dark red tapes
tries decorating the apartment where
Balzac wrote his masterpieces.
On the table stands the big china
coffee pot from which the author was
wont to refresh himself, for Balzac
was a mighty drinker of coffee. Old
wood cuts and original printing proofs
adorn the walls. In the garden the
vine that Balzac tended still grows and
his beloved lilacs have-been replanted
there
In one room there is still the trap
door through which Balzac used to dis
appear when importunate creditors
called
