VANDALS STEAL AUTO;
 WRECK IT FOR SPITE
Prosecutor George w. Klett Victim-Car Found in
 PlainviIle Early Today.

Prosecuting Attorney George w. Kletts big limousine was stolen from
 in front of the Elks' club last evening and was found early this morning. abandoned and wrecked. near Whites Crossing in Plainville. Indications are that the theft and subsequent wreck ing of the prosecutors machine was the work of vandals who were actu- ated by feelings of spite and revenge.
 The machine was missed shortly after 10 o'clock last night and inn- mediately an alarm was sent out. It was reported by a brakeman on the 1:40 a. m. freight into this city that there was a suspicious looking car at Whites crossing. Patrol Driver Rival went to the next town, and found the car there. It was wrecked. Five big cord tires were destroyed. at loss of $500 or $35O. The air was taken from each one. evidently the car driven while they were fiat, and holes punched in them. The front marker was removed to aid in getting away. The front mirror was bent away over to make sure of de- tecting any approaching car at great distance. Threc of the four doors were pulled from their hinges, the seats were broken, the upholstery was torn to shredS. The window shades were torn from their rollers and left on the floor. The upholstery on the inside of the roof of the car was slit with knife throughout its entire length. Several things were taken from inside the car, including the drivers license and registra tion card of MT. F<lett. &C.,
 The police are positive it was a case Of spite. One local young man, not in love with the prosecutor, was in the city early in the evening but dis appeared for few hours. His actions are being investigated. The trolleymen on the late cars out of Plainvtlle will he questioned to deter mine if the men left the car and proceeded back to this city by trolley. Several are under suspicion. The damage is at least $500.

HEALTH DEPT. TANGLE
 IS MORE COMPLICATED
Dismissal of Acting Chair. man Bray By Mayor Cur
 tis Latest Trouble.

Mayor O. r. Curtis intended to fire" pr. Fl. T. Bray, from the board of health some time ago. His oppor- tunity came yesterday. The mayor claims he did not fire" the doctor un- til about , o'clock because it was then that his stenographer handed him the letter which he signed. You fired him when you made mp your mind yester- day afternoon wAs the query Of the reporter. Well if that's the case I may have fired him six weeks or six months ago" his honor replied. Which words would lead any man to think that the deposition was long con- sidered and long determined.
 Dr. Bray had served on the board of health for II years and would have completed his 18th year in October, according to the mayors figures. He was superintendent of the department until 1906 and served as a board member and frequently temporary chairman since then.
 A few weeks ago when pr. John H. Curtis died, the board held a special meeting at which the mayor was pres ent It was the vote of members af the board that Dr. Bray take the reigns of the department as tempor- ary chairman. Mayor Curtis gave his assent to the selection when he said: Its all right to me-" Since then Dr. T. E. Reeks has been serving as superin- tendent of the department without salary and pr. H. T. Bray has served as chairman. There was nothing done to get a new man for the superinten- dency of the department and it look ed as if pr. Rocks was in for a hard job and no pay. The doctor decided he could stand it no longer and sent a latter to Dr. Bray at the shore at New London asking him to remedy conditions as he had been unable to get man to fill the position with the attitude of the chief executive toward the department
 This is the letter Dr. Reels send Dr. Bray at his shore home:
