 Reminder of Olden Times.
 If any person living in the vicinity of the Stiles and Reynolds brickyard, happeed to be awake last night they would have been treated to an old fashioned duel. But the men used re- volvers insead of tho sword. Accord ing to New Britain police reports, a man hired 0 driver of a taxi in that city to take him to the brickyard. When they got there, the chauffeur was ordered to shut vn his motor, put out the lights on the machine and await further instructions. The man r who hired the taxi then disappeared into the darkness and soon a rapid exchange of shots startled the driver. When he saw two men running through the yard and guns flashing, he imm ediately drove his taxi to New Britain and reported the case to the police. There had been rumors throughout the day in the brickyard that trouble was brewing between two employees. The police of New Britain
 wero not able to get any names in
 tho affair.
